BOMBARDED PARIS

HEARD OF DISTANCE.
AMERICANSARE DUMF0UNDED
First Daylight Air Raid Made Satur-
day Over French Metropolis, but
People Refused to Run
for Shelter.

Paris, March 23.-The first day
light air raid on Paris came today,
which was one of perfect sunshine.
The people of Paris refused to inn
mure themselves in cellars and other
subterranean shelters, and although
the subway stations were crowded,
the streets always had great num-
Der of people in them watching for
an aerial battle or some other stir
ring incident.
AS the day passed and the ''all
clear" signal was not given, the
feeling grew that something new in
the way of raid was expected, and
this was not explained until an of
fetal statement was issued saying
that the delay was due to the bonn
bardment by long distance cannon.
The "all clear" was then sounded
and the normal life was resumed. The
cable office reopened to take up ac-
cumulated piles of dispatches
Locate Gun.
Pieces of the shells, on examination,
were found to bear rifling marks,
which proved that they had not been
dropped, but had been fired from a
gun. This apparently left a greater
mystery than ever, as to where the
gun in question was located was a
mystery for some time.
Another thing which turned the
thoughts of the officials at the mu-
nicipal laboratory to the possibility
that cannon was being used was the
regularity with which the bombs fell,
one every 20 minutes.
She'll Travels 76 Miles.
According to the latest reports the
long distance cannon which lombard
} ed Paris this afternoon was firing
from a distance of 120 kilometers
(about rs miles) and was located

French front.

JAPAN STUDYING A WAR POLICY
Possibility of Intervention and Dis
patch of Army to Siberia Is
National Problem.

Tokio.-The interest in America
and Europe in the possibility of Jap
anese Intervention in the war is du-
pIicated in Japan, where the question
of the dispatch of an army to ST.

thing else, but has created a national
problem not approached in Importance
since the Russo-Japanese war. The
correspondent, in this connection, is
reliably informed that Japan, after the
frankest exchange of views with the
allies, is still studying the question
and has not decided upon its policy.
