MORE DE TAILS
 OF MONSTER GUN
 SMELLING PARIS

PARIS, April lone person was killed ond one injured yesterday when the German long-range guns resumed bombardment of the city.
 No unexploded shell from the gun has yet been found but fragments in dicate that it is of eight and one-fourth inches caliber Apparently four guns are being used, two on each alternate day. It is believed that their instalIa- tion must have required months, and doubtless they are concealed under mountains of cement, rending it diff ficult to locate and destroy them.
 The bOmbardment by the long-range gun was resumed this morning.

DISCOVER
 SUBSTITUTE FOR COTTON

TOKYO, April 1.-The discovery of a practical substitute for cotton was announced today at the annual meet ing the Federation of Marine Indus tries. The announcement was made by K Hamada, vice-president of the lower house of parliament who said that the discovery was made in De cember in the Tokio Fibre Laboratory in the course of experiments on sea weeds.
 The variety of seaweed is known as sugamo or gomo guma. It abounds in Japanese waters and hitherto has been used as a fertilizer. The method of extracting the fibre is simply to boil the weeds in I've and then in water mixed with rice bran, after which the released fibre is bleached The whole process is so simple as to be easily possible for fishermen and farmers living near the sea.
 MT. Hamada claims that the fibre in every respect is better than cotton.

MUST DIVIDE WITH ALLIES.

Your loaf of bread must be shared
with the Allies suggests Washing
ton correspondent. This is now lit
eral war fact A lot of people do not
understand it and the sooner they
do understand it, the better.
Before the next harvest comes in
there is going to be shortage of
wheat. This will not be theoreti-
cal, mathematical, market price short
age; it will be shortage which will
affect the size, weight and quality of
the loaf on every table in the land.
The baker is going to have less flour,
the retailer less bread and the house
wife less wheat -four in her firkin.
All this is going to happen because
it is the duty of the United States to
share it's loaf with the Allies.
If you have felt that Herbert
Hoover was put into office to conserve
food for the American populace and
to keep down the price OF vlctuals,
you are entirely wrong.
Hoover was appointed and the food
law was passed purely for the purpose
of winning the war. Now crisis has
come where the only way to meet it
is to DO without so, much food-bread
food to win the war.
Only great emergency has made
this course imperative. The Allies
have to have wheat They have to
have it to make bread for the soldiers
and to keep their war-working civilian
populations alive. ~
England is today actually suffering
for lack of food. Her shortage is
worse than that of France. This is
due to the fact that England has
been dividing $3.50 with Italy. The

be brought into the service of the
United States and Great Britain on
March Is. ~
Unless the Netherlands Govern
ment braves the menace of Germany's
pressure and voluntarily accepts an
agreement under which the ships
would be put in trade the United
States and Great Britain will take
them over, under international law,
availing themselves of sovereign
right which Germany herself has
hitherto exercised under the same
authority.
Formal notice has been presented
to The Hague by the American and
British diplomatic representatives of
the Allied Governments intentions.
As a result the Netherlands Minis
ter, August Phillips, acting under in
structions of his Government, made a
final personal appeal yesterday to
President Wilson at least to modify
the decision.
The President saw, no reason for
altering the decision and unless the
ships are turned over by next Mon
day, Presidential proclamation will
be issued, taking over the ships in
American ports, Of which there are
about 80. Many more, however, are
in British Of other Allied ports on
the seven seas.
From the American official point
of view, the action is one into which
the Allied Governments have been
forced by the German duress of Hol-
land, which may now see her ships
in trade again and can point out to
Germany that they were taken
through no will of her own.
Coming at time when the dire
need of the Allied cause is for ships,
this acquisition of a million tons is
OF tremendous Importance.

AUSTRIAN CRUELTY.

The Austrian authorities are charg-
ed with hanging women and children,
as we'll as men, in an official COM
munication from the Servian Govern
ment at Corfu, made public by the
Seryian Press Bureau in Washington.
The revelations Of DR.. Van Den
Hoffen, the neutral eyewitness of
these horrors, who has just publish
ed book on the subject, prove that
the Austrian acts Of vandalism are
not thoroughly known, and that the
number of crimes cannot be even APP
proximately estimated.
On this subject a Servi:;n barrister,
a native of Bosnia, who was intern
ed by the Austrians and afterward
succeeded in enlisting in their army,
and deserted, writes that the Austri-
ans have not hesitated to commit the
most Ubiquitous acts in order to COM
plete their work Of determination in
Servia and the Jugoslav countries.
He cites the following cases, which
leave no doubt as to Austrian meth
eds. In the Bosnian village of Mitch
200 men were hanged. In the village
of Debropolis a woman and her four
children were hanged. In the village
of Ternove the Austrians hanged
three women in front of their houses
and carried off the husbands as SOL
diersa At Sokosse they masacreed
the entire family of Yove Borovina
and other families, totaling in all q
women and children. They terribly
mutilated his wife and hanged her in
this state in the yard of her home.
At the village of zhushka they cut
the throats of all the members of the
Stanishitch family.

HUN RAID REFUSED.

March
American troop chat repulsed the
German raid of March 5 were from
the Forty-second, or Rainbow Dlvi-

Guardsmen, General Pershing report

The commander of the American d.

by General Gerard, commander of the
Eighth French Army, for the manner
in which the Americans conducted
themselves.
General Pershing's message, as
given out by the War Department,
follows:
Summary of activities on Forty
second (Rainbow) Division front,
night Of fourth and fifth of March:
Enemy attempted trench raid early
in the morning March 5. Raid was
repulsed with losses to the enemy.
Our losses reported light, no missing
OF prisoners. General Gerard, COM

graduated division commander on
way in which troops repulsed raid"
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1918-03-15

only way to keep Italy in the war
was for England to do this:
This heroic effort on the part of
the British did, in fact, check the
German drive at the moment when it
was menacing historic Venice. But
the cost has been heavy.
BY splitting your loaf o. bread you
will do more to help the Allies in this
war than regiments and divisions can
do on the western front.
