GUN TO SHOOT 1O5 MILES.
American, it is Said, Has Offered 1t
to u. S. Government.

Baltimore, Nd, March 27.-That
the United States Government has N
its possession all the details for the
construction of subcaliber gun that
will fire cartridge, loaded with 2,5DO
rounds of dynamite, 1O5 miles was
the assertion made here yesterday by
a well-known man who recently re-
turned from Washington, where ne
had been in consultation with the
beads OF the War Department IN rel
crence to the gun.
At the request of the government
he will not allow his name to be used
in connection with the gun, but more
than a year ago, when he first went
10 Washington to place the matter III
The hands of the ordnance department,
he represented Charles G. Armstrong,
of the Singer building, New York,
who wished to present the gun to the
governments.
While the gun that has recently
been used by the Germans to lombard
Paris is of similar construction. it is
rot nearly as deadly as the one now
being considered by the American
government. After considering the
gun more than year ago, the govern
rnent officials said they did not think
K. could be used. but now the matter
has again come up for consideration.
1T is said the gun can be used either
on board ship or on land,and that
great destruction can be done with it
from so to 105 mile by firing projec-
ties loaded with dynamite. The pro-.
jectiles can be used in any guns from
~ to IA inches, or even larger. Around
the cartridge are rings cf soft metal

POWERS ARE AROUSED
Allies Indignant at Ruthless Ger.
man Destruction.
May Warn Germany That ReprisaIs
Will Be Taken for Acts Of
Vandalism.

Washington. Oct. 4.-The Allies and
the United States are considering an
ultimatum to Germany regarding the
ruthless destruction of cities and pri-
vate property in Northern France and
Belgium.
The burning of Cambria and st.
Quentin and the devastation of one of
the most p%opulous regions Of Europe
as the Germans retreat has aroused
great indignation and it was said in
diplomatic circles that Germany would
be warned soon that Is she allows the
work of destruction to continue severe
reprisal will follow.
1t is suggested that the cities of the
Rhine should be marked for destruc.
ton and the Berlin government told
that for every French and Belgian city
ruined without military reason a city
equally important and valuable senti-
m -ntslly and materially will be laid
waste.
Since reprisals by bombardment
have caused the Germans to discon-
tinue to a great extent their air at.
tacks on defenseless communities, II
Is felt here that a similar warning
might be effective In bringing home to
the German people the danger of retail.

ritory now occupied by their troops.

FRENCH DEMAND VENGEANCE
Insist Upon Retaliation for German
Vandalism.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The French
national committee in charge of the

age, a dispatch from France says,

that the Allied governments invoke
the law of retaliation against Ger
many.
The declaration says while the law
Is repugnant to the nations fighting
for the triumph of justice and liberty
1t Is the only n that will make an
impression on the German mind. All
governments which participate in the
crusade are asked to resolve to destroy
town for town, village for village,

Following a rolling barrage for

A great number of prisoners,

Paris, Oct. 5.-American troops have
Joined the French in their operations
east of the Suippe and have assisted in
the advance northwest of Somme-Py,
capturing the strong positions of Blanc
Mont and the Medeah farm. Further
east the French have taken Orfeuil
and Bemont Chateau. North of Rheims
the French are working their way
across the Aisne canal. 1t would seem
that unless the Germans withdraw
from the Champagne salient they are
in danger of being caught in a trap
between the armies OF Berthelot and
Gouraud.
Allies Reach Open Country.
With the British in the open coun-
try northeast of st. Quentin and the

German armies which have been
holding the front along the sector
from Lens to Armentieres are in re-
treat and, with the British In close
pursuit, are hurriedly abandoning the
region south of the Lys river, where
they were in danger OF development.
This retreat seems to have uncovered
the important city of Lille and prob
ably will make imperative a withdraw
al all the way down the line in front
of Arras.
Smash Last Foe Line.
North Of the wedge driven into the
German lines by the Anglo-Belgian
drive there are no indications of a
retirement as yet, although military
critics believe that the German hold
on Ostend will be shortlived now that
Roulers is virtually in the hands Of
the Allies.
Smashing against the German line
east of st. Quentin, Field Marshal
Haig's army has plunged through the
last line of the formidable linden
berg system. This assault seems to
have been a blow struck at a vital
spot in the enemy's defense and it's
success is attested by the progress
made during the day.
