LONG RANGE GUN
WAS SURPRISE
T0THE FRENCH
F. G. Upton Of Minot Has
Interesting Story to Tell
From France.
People Of France and Eng
land Expected Allied
Lines to Fall Back.

Minot, N. D., April 19.-Thirty
thousand people left Paris daily dur.-
ing the first few days that city was
under bombardment Of German long
range guns, many Of them old men,
women and children seeking safety in
cities farther south: according to F: e,
Upton OF Minot, who returned to this
city yesterday after spending five
months in France. where he was en-
gagged in assembling gas tractors for
the French government. Mr.. Upton
was in France during the first five
days Of the big German offensive and
saw at first hand the results of the big
German gun. The bombardlnent was
a surprise to, the people. OF Paris and
for the first few hours could not ac-
count for it. But by three o'clock the
located the long range gun and the
papers in Paris were carrying &C
counts Of it and its work.
The first gun used exploded and
could not be used again, according to
information secured by. French au-
thorities from Germans taken prison
ers a few days later. When it ex-
ploded five gunners were killed. The
shells reaching Paris fell about five
minutes apart at first, but after the
first day they came less frequent and
then, ceased for q time altogether.
The story reported in official circles in
Paris and England was that the Ger
mans installed another gun shortly
after the first n exploded. The gen
eral belief was that the Germans
were evidently trying to destroy the
Eifel tower and the gunners were
given the range by airmen. It is esti-
mated that shells must have been
thrown twenty-five miles high and
that they required twelve minutes in
passing from the gun t. the point OF
explosion. In Europe it, is not ex-
pected that the. allies will endeavor to
build such guns as their value in &C
tual warfare is small. The shells
usedqare nine inches in diameter with
walls three inches thick. leaving a hol-
low of. three inches and a half in
diameter for the explosive. The ex-
plosion is caused by conclusion as the
shell. explodes as soon as it strikes.
Mr.. Upton saw one wall through
which a she'll penetrated, breaking a
