WILL EDUCATE BOY
Pennsylvania Shipyard EN-.
ployes to Send Lad to Mer.
chant Training Naval School

Instead Of spending their money for
a hag-raising on the Fourth of July,
boys in the receiving and stores DEPART
ment of the Pennsylvania yard will send
a son Of one of the shipworkers of their
own force to the Merchant Naval Train
ing School, to be held at New London,
conn, from July l to September /.
Every man contributing 81 or more will
nave the privilege of placing the name
Of a son for the drawing to take place
next Friday. Five names will be drawn
and these boys will go before an exam
ming board, which will pick the one
physically the best fitted. Other depart
ments are considering following the
example.
But there viii still he plenty Of flag
raisings at the Pennsylvania and New
Jersey yards. Mex Friday. which has
been set apart as National Flag Day,
flags Will be raised over the Pennsyl-
vania plate and angle shop and reamers
and drillers shop. The Handicapped
and caulkers, the yard riggers and bolt
ers, all Of the same yard, will also raise
national emblems. Three f~ag-raisings
are being planned for the Fourth Of July.
All such affairs will be in charge Of J.
Fl. Millar, head of the Pusey & Jones
Club.
John Atkinson, superintendent of the
installation department at the Pennsyl-
ranta yard, has moved into new quar-
tiers.
The men in the Pennsylvania plate
and angle shop, boilers, drillers and
reamers, ave raised S11S.25 for base
ball uniforms for the soldier boys of
Company X. who guard the plant. The
soldiers have been taken into the Inter
department Baseball League, and are
permitted to doff their military uniforms
for the games only. They are develop
ing a strong team.
The boys in the layout department Of
the Pennsylvania yard are going to
Fortescue Beach next Saturday to try
their skill with rod and reel. Some of
them claim to be there" at the pisca-
torial sport, and they had better make
good unless they can take a joke as
well as give it.
George Fisher, of the New Jersey
yard. while eating supper at home last
Saturday. was mourning the loss of his
pay envelope with a whole weeks wages
in it. A knock at the door, followed by
the return of the envelope and all the
money, improved Fishers appetite Won
derfully. The man who returned the
money was a stranger who had identi-
fed the owner by a button in the en-.
velope.

COPIES OF THE GERMAN PLAN OF OFFENSIVE
Taken from Prisoners Show Their ob-
 iect Far from Attainment

London, March 24.-Copies of the German plan of offensive taken from prisoners, according to the British headquarters correspondent of Reu- ter's, Limited, show that the enemys objectives were as follows: First day, average penetration along the who's, front of attack, eight kilometers; sec- ond day, twelve kilometers, and on the third day, beyond which the scheme does not appear to be carried, twenty kilometers.
 The success attained thus far falls much short of these objectives, the despatch states. Continuing, the cor respondent says:
 Among the captured machine guns are some Identified as having been used in the Balkans last year.
 Every attempt to cross the Somme' by means of four bridges thrown over the river during Friday night were detected and frustrated with loss by our artillery fire. All roads in the rear of the German advance are block l ed by columns of troops, guns and transport vehicles, furnishing a target upon which we are making deadly play i Rough estimates of the casualties in-s fiicted vary between 30 and 50 per cent. of all enemy divisions so far engaged,
 but give these figures for what they 1 are worth. They probably are based
 mainly upon statements made by prisoners

THEORY ADVANCED ABOUT
 GERMAN LONG RANGE GUN
Barrel Surrounded by Magnetic Field
 Which Eliminates Friction.


 Paris, March 24.-A prominent Am- erican chemist whose name is with held for military reasons, in state ment to The Associated Press today concerning the long range gun that is being used to lombard Paris, ad-
 vanced the theory that the barrel of the gun is surrounded by a magnetic
 field which keeps the shell virtually free from the sides of gun when it is
 being fired, thereby eliminating fric-
 ton, which is the greatest cause of
 loss motion, and thereby greatly in-
 creasing the muzzle velocity of the
 gun.
 The chemist pointed out that ap- l parently the, same. propulsive power was being used as in other high xeIo- fcity guns but in much greater quant- fty. He added that the shell of the new gun travels to a great height and largely through atmosphere much thinner than that traversed by the or dinary shell, and therefore with less air resistance. The opinion was given that the. shell probably is made of highly tempered tungsten steel and ! that the deterioration of the barrel of the gun is not likely to be as rapid
 as in the ordinary high velocity gun because of the eli.nination of friction. | It was stated that heavy charges of
 explosives would tend to decrtlse the accuracy of the gun.

BRITISH PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING ANXIETY
Men, Women and Children Are Read
 ing the Newspapers.

London, March 24-The British peo- pie have experienced no other period of anxiety comparable with this week end since the days of the retreat from Mons, in August. 1914, when the fate of the small British army was undecided.
 There was perfect spring weather today and all the streets and parks gravity prevailed everywhere, which Men and women. and eevn children. special edations which printed the aft ernoon official reports were bought as fast as the newspapers could supply them. The churches were filled and the day was one of anxiety and wait ing.
 The British people had not expected any marked retirement by the Brit ish army, although they had been warned that this would be 8 natural development of a great battle. Hence; the bulletins caused general depres- sion. Toward night it became known that the official view of the situation did not warrant such despondency | The loss of guns was regarded as 1 inevitable, but the British casualties ] are understood to be relatively small l considering the magnitude of the op. 1 eration so far as the reports give
 them. The participation of American
 soldiers in the battle was one of tht most discussed features. Officials o 1 the embassy were asked for details but they have none as yet.
