be a boom in the spring.
One Of the biggest jobs OF the last
few weeks has been the repairing Of
the. roundhouse of the ". Y, n. H. &
H. railroad which was rather badly
Quilted by fro a few weeks ago. The

bombardment is designed to give the
impression that Paris is within range
of the German guns. ''It is political
cannon" the newspaper says.
Premier Clemenceau's newspaper
L'Homme Libre, says the password OF
the hour is confidence. Germany
it declared, "had wished to make it
a complete offensive on all fronts
the land, water and air fronts, as well
as the front of the rear We are
facing an enemy who wishes to end
it as soon as possible. That suits us.
Every shell that falls into Paris
drives deeper into us the confidence
In an ultimate victory
OF Austrian Make.
The newspaper LIE Journal, in its
article regarding the monster gun,
says the piece of 240 millometres
calibre is of Austrian manufacture.
It is a very delicate piece of machin-
cry which must be handled by expert
mathematicians and gunners, the
newspaper adds, as the loading and
pointing is a difficult task. 1t declares
each shot costs about $4,000.
This is a new conception Of our
enemies" the newspaper comments.
The ordnance experts were not
ready last night to commit themselves
as to whether the shell was sort of
aerial torpedo driven by propellers;
whether the inner projectile contain
ed in the original shell is released by
an explosive after the she'll has trav-
eled a certain distance from the gun,
or whether the original rrojectile it
self reaches it's destination propelled
perhaps by an explosive of force
hitherto unknown.
Aviators Regulate Firing.
In yesterdays bombardment twen-
ty-four shots in all we're fired from
7.20 a. m. to 3 o'clock p. m, shell
dropping every twenty minutes with
monotonous regularity. The bonn
bardment presented all the character
istics of a bombardment by heavy ar
tillery, there being regular intervals
between the shots and the shells fall
ing within restricted area. Enemy
aviators flying high over the city dur
ing the early hours of the lombard
ment regulated the firing.

Would Have to Feed Bird.


Mike had seen nearly every clock
in the shop, but had discarded all OF
them as not being good enough fo1
his purpose. The weary shopman had
exhausted his whole shop except
few cuckoo clocks, so he brought for
ward these as last resort, and VOW
ed he would do his best to sell one or
know the reason why.
do theoclocks strike the hours?"
asked Mike.
"I'll show you what they do" said
the shopman. And he set the hands
of one to a few minutes to IL. When
the little door flew open and the
cuckoo thrust his head out, cuckoo
ing away for dear life, Mike was
thunderstruck. But when the bird
disappeared he looked glum and pom
dered in gloomy thought for mo-
ment.
'Well, how do you like that?" ask
ed the shopman. ''That's staggerer
for you, isn't it?'
Faith and begorra, should think
it is" declared Mike. Its trouble
enough to remember to wind it with
out having to think of feeding the
bird" London Standard.

TOOK GERMAN BY SURPRISE.
Prisoner Says the Huns Regard the
Americans Good Soldiers.

With the American Army in
France, March 24.-The experiences
of patrol of four Americans who,
after crawling nearly mile, surpris-
ed German listening post and
brought back a prisoner, were quite
thrilling. The patrol was in COM
mand of a lieutenant. The lieuten-
ant jumped on the German, who was
so deeply engrossed in his duties of
listening that he had not heard the
approach of the Americans, while
others of the patrol went into the
post.
The lieutenant and the German
rolled into trench filed with three
feet of water. A second German at
tempted to shoot the lieutenant, but
an American corporal drove his bay
onet through him.
The patrol brought their prisoner
back over the route they had taken
to the post, and when he came to de-
scribe his capture the German said
wonderingly:
"The first thing 1 knew big Am
erican was on top of my throat, and
next | was being hauled across No
Mans Land"
The intelligence officers CLEANED
from the prisoner that his comrades
were inclined to regard the Ameri-
cans good soldiers, who were fighting
enthusiastically The food supplied
to the German soldiers was poor, he
said, and their morale was for the
most part bad
