Special mention should be made
of the Easter Services at the Presby-

fully decorated with the national
c0lors and Easter flowers, and from
among which came the beautiful
bell like tones OF singing canary
bird, as If even the bird had caught
the Easter spirit and was voicing
his song of praise.
The program was carefully plann.
ed and several of the numbers were
worthy of q place in q church much

of the exercises by the Volunteer

France.
The first daylight air raid on Paris
came today. which was one of perfect
sunshine. The people of Paris refused

though the subway stations were
crowded the streets always had a great
number OF people in them watching

LONDON, March 2s.-"The battle is
continuing with the greatest intensity
on the whole front south of the Scarpe
river" Field Marshal Haig's report to-
night announces.
"South and west of ST. Quentin our
troops have taken up their new posi-
tions and we are heavily engaged with
the enemy.
During the night strong hostile at
tacks in the neighborhood of Jussy
(south of St. Quentin) were repulsed
with great loss to the enemy.
.-On the northern portion of the bait
tie front the enemys attacks have been
pressed with the utmost determination
ard regardless of losses. Our troops
have maintained their positions on the
greater part of this front after fierce
and prolonged struggle.
Great gallantry has been shown by
the troops engaged in the fighting in
this area and south thereof. The 18th
and eth divisions distinguished them
selves by the valor of their defense.
In one sector alone six hostile attacks,
in two of which German cavalry took
part, were beaten of by one of our
infantry brigades-

great violence"

Americans Dumfounded.

The long range bombardment of
Paris by German gun. announced as
a fact yesterday in the French capital,
GERS. The 22-mile bombardment Of
Dunkirk by the Germans more than a
year ago had set a record. and ordnance
officers of the American. British and
French corps freely. conceded they
never had dreamed Of a monster gun
with a range or more than 80 miles.
Some officers frankly questioned that
shells from rifled cannon actually had
fallen in Paris. OtheNs sought expla-
nation 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 912-
inch projectile so miles.
The finding of shell fragments bear
ing the marks of gun rifiing seemed to
preclude the idea of any ordinary air
plane bomb. 1t was suggested that
monster airplanes mounting guns
might have been used, but no one has
ever conceived the possibility of car
rying a nine-and-one- -half-inch weapon
in the air. A short-range. lightweight
inverted howitzer carried by aircraft
appeared to some as a possible ex-
PLANTATION.
ity that in the outskirts of Paris there
might be a hidden gun. 1t was ad-
mitted that it would have no military
value, and could only be a weapon Of
terror and it's discovery would be GER
tain.
If the German experts have evolved
| a wholly new type of gun no. de-
| pendent upon the same mathematical
factors that govern ordnance every
| where. officers here think it highly
an isolated and meaningless attack on
| Paris.

involved in the struggle seems credi-
BILE, as the recession of the British right
flank, which was resting approximately
upon La Fere, at the river Oise, would
inevitably carry with it the French left
which had rested upon the Disc.
Germans Are Slaughtered.
The advance is being accompanied by
a terrible slaughter of the Germans
who in their massed formations are
being cut to pieces by British guns OF
Ill calibers. The British casualties. too
nave been heavy. and Berlin claims the
taking of $4,000 British prisoners and
100 guns.
Emperor William himself is in COM
land of the German armies fighting
his battle. which he had previously
/ declared would be the decisive one OF
the war, and London commentators
credit him with assuming this pos,
with the aim Of going down in history
as the victor in the greatest conflict ir
the worlds history should the German:
! win. as their leaders have boasted
they would.
Despite the advances made by the
Germans no loss of confidence on the
allied side in the ultimate outcome i.
apparent.
Attention is largely centered now or
! the ST. Quentin thrust, and the mex
developments are looked for to com,
from that sector.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-03-24

1t might be. some officers thought, that
a continuous dropping Of medium caliber
shells on the city was part of a hope for
breaking the spirit of France by some
mysterious visitation.
A bombardment Of Paris at such a dis
lance appeared to most Of the ordnance
Officers as such complete surprise that
they found it difficult to talk about it.
Traitor Theory Advanced.
Another theory advanced was that the
shells might have been fired from French
or English gun seized by traitors or mu-
tineers and turned upon the French capi-
tai 1t would not be at all impossible
according to those who suggested the ex.
PLANTATION for squad Of mutineers to
have seized a single gun emplaced in
some isolated spot
1t was recalled that some months
ago well substantiated reports were
received in Washington of a revolt of
a Russian regiment on the west front.
1t was quickly put down. however.
The possibility that yesterdays mys-
to some outburst of disaffection did not
seem unreasonable to some officials.
American officers here recall that
when the Germans sprung their gun
that would throw shell % miles into
Dunkirk, the French soon found a way
to meet the attack, partially at least

city. a warning is sounded, and the in
habitants take to dugouts. generally
reaching shelter before the shell
strikes.
American oN1cials say that incredible
as this may seem. it should be borne in
mind that the long-range guns of the
Germans are no less so.
