GERMAN CANNON

GIANT GUNS DRo? SHELLS IN
FRENCH CAPITAL, DISTANCE
OF NEARLY rs MILES.
REPORT IS MADE OFFICIALLY
Teutons Apparently Have Invented
New r-Cannon-longest
Previous Range 80 Miles.

Paris-Accordipg to the latest re-
ports the long-distance cannon which
started bombarding Paris March %,
was firing from a distance of 100 kilo-
meters Approximately IA IL miles)
and was located about IL kilometers
behind the French front. Earlier dis
patches indicated that the attack was
made from a distance of 81 miles. The
nearest point from the German lines
to Paris is 81 miles.
The announcement was official and
stated that the shells reached the
capital and suburbs at intervals OF
about Is or 90 miles.
The dispatch, in saying that the
shortest distance from Paris to the
front is over 100 kilometers, indicates
that there has been no breach in the
battle line above Paris such as would
permit of bringing up guns to within
what has been previously regarded as
the extreme range of heavy pieces.
One theory suggested is that the
Germans have developed an aerial tor
pedo which can be fired from long
distance.
The most powerful guns in action
heretofore have been able to hurl their
projectiles only 20 miles or there
abouts.
The calibre of the shells reaching
Paris, $40 milimeters, is equivalent to
about 8 IL inches. The heavy German
siege pieces fire 17-inch shells.
Pieces of the shells, on examination
were found to bear rifing marks.
which proved that they had not been
dropped from an aeroplane, but had
been fired from a gun.

Report Amazes Ordnance Experts.

Washington-The long range bonn
bardment of Paris by a German gun,
dumfounded American ordnance Off
GERS
The 22-mile bombardment of Dun
kirk by the Germans more than year
ago had set record and ordnance
officers of the American. British and
French corps freely conceded they new
er had dreamed of monster gun
with a range OF more than 30 miles.
Some officers frankly questioned
that shells from rified cannon actually
had fallen in Paris. Others sought
explanation in new devices or secret
gun emplacements in the vicinity of
Paris. None wanted to believe that
any gun had been invented by the
Germans or any one else which could
throw 1-2-inch projectile 20 miles.
New Factors Doubted.
If the German experts have evolved
a wholly new type of gun not depen-
dent upon the same mathematical fac
tors that govern ordnance everywhere,
officers here think it highly unlikely
that they would employ it for an isola-
ted and meaningless attack on Paris.
1t might be, some officers thought,
that continuous dropping of medium
caliber shells on the city was part of
hope for breaking the spirit of
France by some mysterious visitation.
The finding of shell fragments bear
ing the marks of gun rifiing seemed
to preclude the idea OF any ordinary
airplane bomb.
1t was suggested that monster air
planes mounting guns might have been
used, but no one has ever conceived
the possibility Of carrying 8 IL
inch weapon in the air. A short range,
lightweight. inverted howitzer carried
by aircraft appeared to seem as a pos.
sible explanation.
