It is also announced that the Swiss
Government refuses to recognize Els
ner's government or his representative
in Berne, Professor Forster.
A number of Workers and Soldiers
Councils, among which are those OF
Breslau, Mayence and Cologne, have
sent vigorous protests against Eisner.
Bavarian clerical, peasants and bour-
geolse papers condemn him in scathing
terms.
II will be remembered that Eisner also
demanded tho resignation of Peoples
Commissioner Sscheidemann and Under
Secretary David. Both however re-
main in office and declare that there is
no reason why they should resign.
The only paper fighting Eisner's battle
is Die Rote Fahne. II accuses Solf of
having entered protest against the
publication Of the Lerchenfeld letters
without first mentioning it to his Social
list deputy, Kautsky. The Foreign
Offices answer Is that it did not protest
against the publication as such, but
merely the publication by Eisner in in
complete form, and that, as it's offer
to the Entente proved, II was ready to
submit all evidence and documents per-

SHIPPED FROM HERE

Seventy-two days after the bids were
opened the Baldwin Locomotive Works
completed the first of Americas famous
5O-caliber 14.0 inch naval guns, which
played such an important part in the
German defeat.
Lieutenant Commander u. G. Buell.,
Of the naval reserve, DISCLOSED this fact
for tho first time, in an address at the
annual meeting of the American Society
Of Mechanical Engineering last night
in New York.
Tho Baldwin plant completed the
first of the biggest guns on April 70,
twenty days ahead of schedule, and
the last one was delivered thirty days
later.
The guns were shipped from Phila-
delphia after q test at Sandy Hook.
There We're serenty-nve cars in the
train, and all their crews made the
start for tho front from here.
The seven guns of the battery, he
said. were built In 1917 for use on
battleships. They fired a 140O-pound
pro5ectile at a muzzle velocity of $500
feet per second and had an extreme
range of nearly thirty miles.
The project OF putting them on mov-
able railway carriages for use In France,
he said, was first conceived in the spring
Of 1918 ....".
Lieutenant Commander Buell. said the
trains were sent to the front and the
first shot fired at the enemy on Septeml
Der 5, less than ESQ days after the
plan was first conceived.
The guns, which had the longest
range Of any ever mounted on a mov-
ablo carriage, were so successful in
mobility and accuracy of fire that six
moro were ordered. The armistice was
signed. however, before they were de-
livered.
