DEADLY ACCURACY
OF FRENCH GUNS
Can Now Place Shells Within Few
Yards Of Object

French Front. April 2. (Corre-
spondence of tire Associated Press)-
Accuracy and efficiency have been
made possible for the French artil-
lery by the invention of an instru-
ment that enables French map-mak-
ers to locate almost exactly an object
within the enemy lines which has
been photographed from an airplane.
In transferring to a map the photo
graphed object, such say, as an enc
my battery or munition dump, the
margin of error is limited to less than
five yards.
This permits the French artillery
to pour it's shells with almost certain
aim on to German gun emplacem ents,
trench positions, cross roads, canton
| rnents. railroad lines, aviation camps
| and other enemy organizations. 1t is
unnecessary for the gunner to have
| even a distant view of the object he
| is firing at.
To take a photograph of the enemy
| lines from French airplane is an
| easy matter but to transfer the OBJ =
| tects photographed to their exact 10
cation on a map was for time ex-
| tremely difficult. This was due to the
| varying heights and angles from
| which the airpline observers made
their photographs. BY the invention
of ono of the officers attached to the
Geographical Section this difficulty
has been almost eliminated.
Not orly the aerial observation SER
vice but other methods of spottine
/ German poSitions-more especially
cannon and machine-gun cmplace-
ments-are utilized as aids to the
work of the military map-makcr. TIL
flashes Of guns as they are fred from
the German side form one valuable
adjunct to his work but the most i'm
portant of all is the calcula ton of the
speed Of the sound of the firing
| charge of TIE German shells. This
has been brought to a basis accurac>,
In fact in recent operations it ha;
proved that che system Of observa-

If you must have your meat every

authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid which almost para
1yzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel 1t from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back
' or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated. obligine
you to seek relief two Or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
to clease the kidneys and flush off tn c
body's urinous waste get four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for a few days
and ~our kidneys will then act fire
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice com.
bined with lithia, and has been USED
for generations to flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutraliZt
the acids in urine, so it no longer ir

LUS|TANIA VICTIMS
IN Tidy CEMETERY
Special Attention Paid to Bodies
Recovered From Hun Outrage /.

Queenstown, March 27y--{Corre-
-Workmen have just finished q
months task of tidying up the Lust
tana cemetery here, where LAT OF
the Lusitania dead are buried. They
have converted the three mounds of
earth, which mark the trench graves
of the victims, into the neatest and
best-kept part of the village bury
ing ground at the top of the cliffs.
A neat sign placed over the largest
of the three trench graves informs
6sitors that the improvement was
made at the direction of the Cunard
Steamship company, and that the
company has engaged a Cork firm of
gardeners permanently to keep the
grass and trees trimmed and the
flowers watered.
The failure of the town council to
care for the graves made it neces-
sary for the Cunard company to do so.
Some time ago The Associated Press
correspondent visited the spot and
was surprised to find grass q foot
high all over the cemetery. His ac-
count of the incident led high Of
fetal of the Cunard line to make an
inspection. He reported to his head
quarters in Liverpool, confirming the
account of the neglect of the graves.
The company acted at once and the
result Is that. while two months ago
1t was almost impossible for the
casual visitor to distinguish the LUIS
itania graves from any others, they
now arrest immediate attention.
The earth around the graves has
been banked up two feet above the
level of the ground and carefully
ecdded. Fifteen pine trees have been
planted about the edges, and a space
in the center Is adorned with beds
of hardy flowers. A gardener from
Cork makes q weekly visit to the
graves.
After the war it is proposed to
build monument on the site. This
is to be done by the steamship COM
pany in. cooperation with the British
government and a plot of ground has
been reserved for this purpose.
There are three trenches, the larg-
est OF which contains seventy bodies,
the second fifty and the third twenty
seven. The plot for the memorial is
between the second and third
trenches. A few small gravestones,
form the only mem orials to be found
about the spot.
\ The graves are seldom visited by
the villagers. They say they shun
them because they recall the terrible
scenes enacted nearly three years ago.
One OF the latest visitors was the
American counsul here, Charles M
Hathaway, Jr., who escorted a group
of American naval officers now on
duty in adjacent waters.
The town hall in Queenstown
which was used as a morgue for the
Victims, was for two years afterward
deserted by the villagers who had
for generations before, used it as q
market place. 1t was said to be
haunted" and no good luck was ex-
pected from any transaction complet.
ed there. During the last few weeks
the villagers have begun to use i
again, but only after a squad o.
painters and decorators had trans
formed it's gloomy interior into such
q cheerful place that the merchants
despite their superstitions were
coaxed back.

last fall been allowed to sail
from New York with 100000
rounds Of small arm ammunition
for Germany. Mr.. Thompson was
summoned before gOyernmen.
officials in New York, and ad-
mitted, according to Assistant
District Attorney Knox, that his
statement was based on "uncon-
frmed rumOr." The moral is that
mo- American citizen, least Of all
am officer of a patriotic society,
ought at this time to have any
thing TO do with spreading un-
confirmed rumors. Their has been
a great deal too much of that
sort of thing, and it is going on
all The while.
Another report has recently
been going round which, though
it did no harm, is nevertheless
false. This also is traced to Mr.
Thompson, who has said that a.
certain number of German spies
had been shot in this country
since the beginning Of the war.
This is denied by the Washing
ton authorities. We think it is
about time some of Germany's
spies were being shot, but surely
not secretly and without tria'.
There should be nothing stated
as a fact that is not known to be
a fact. That is the only safe rule
in time of war, especially when
we are dealing with such a nation
as Germany. Unless it is observed
we may find ourselves playing
directly into her hands.
