Several freight trains went rush

parently realized that it was
only another of the little sac
rifices which the war has made
necessary.
Last Monday this store, with
others Of Washington, inaugu-
rated some radical changes.
Up to date we have not had a

The Tide of Great Battle Expected
To Take Turn Most Any Hour

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-An-
other day of unprecedented fighting
by the great armies on the
western front has closed with the
welcome news that the Germans have
been checked, that Americans are
fighting shoulder to shoulder with
their Mties, and that French rein
fcrcements are solidifying the allies
stand west of Roye.
It may be that the next "a hours
will witness the turning of the tide of
battle. Soon, in any event, the allies
will counter attack. The Germans
have penetrated into the allied lines
as far as safety will permit. If it is
the plan of the supreme war council
to fall back as far as possible in or
der to extend the German line and
open the way for a more effective
counter attack, the appearance of the
allied reserve forces may be looked
for within few hours.

Invents Gun To
Shoot los Miles
American, II Is Said Has Of
fered It To the U. S.
Government.

Baltimore, Mr., March 2S.-That
the United States government has in
its possession all the details for the
construction Of a subcailber gun that
will fire cartridge, loaded with
$500 pounds Of dynamite, 1O5 miles
was the assertion made here today
by well-known man who recently
returned from Washington, where he
had been in consultation with the
heads of the War Department in ref
erence to the gun.
At the request Of the government
he will not allow his name to be used
in connection with the gun, but more
than year ago, when he first went
to Washington to place the matter in
the hands of the ordnance depart
ment, he represented Charles G. Arm
strong, Of the Singer building, New
York, who wished to present the gun
to the Government.
While the gun that has recently
been used by the Germans to bonn
bard Paris is of similar construction,
it is not nearly as deadly as the one
now being considered by the Ameri-
can government.

man advance. So fu~ious has been
the assault, and so deadly has been
the British fire, that tens Of thous-
ands of wounded Germans must have
been left in the wake Of the invad-
ers, and are now suffering and dying
after lying from one to FIVE days with
out water, food or attention. The
imperial maniac whose crown il in
danger is not only slaughtering his
men by the tens of thousands, but he
is driving on without paying the
slightest attention to the wounded
and dying. The dictates Of human
ity, which are powerful even on the
battlefield, make no impression on the
madman who slaughters friend and
foe alike in his frenzy. The sun and
moon have never looked down upon
ghastlier or more appalling sight
than that which unroIls itself in the
path of the Germans. The German
nation win feel these losses for CEN
tury to come. The mad emperor Is
literally amputating Germany.

United Press War
Review

British officers and sol
diers do not believe that
the present comparative
lun means that the battle
will die out, according to
United Press, but a dis.
patch from William Philip
Simms states that on the
contrary they believe that
ii will go to the finish, and
that a great, decisive en-
gagement will conclude
both the battle now raging
/ and probably the war.
This Is regarded as one
of the most significant
things in today's news,

NOT content merely to stop
the German advance, but
that they are anxious to
