Germans, the seizure OF a number of

When close to the ground it dropped
a quantity of bombs, Some were of

Big GERMAN GUN Z
ROUTS ALL PARIS
FROM BED EARLY

sation was the new battle of the
Somme, which is generally compared
with Verdun.
1t is to be hoped that the gun which
shelled Paris will very shortly be
sllenced, says the Figaro, which gives
the following quotation from man
who was said to be in position to
know:
Hunt Monster Weapon.
"The 380.millimetre gun which
bombarded Dunkirk two years ago
from a distance of rs miles, was To-
Gated by our airplanes and soon put
out of action The same methods will
be adopted with regard to the 240-
millimetre gun which has been bonn
harding Paris for the last two days.
Since Saturday our airplanes have
been looking for it and the fact that
it stopped firing is due, perhaps, to
their arrival. 1t will not be long be-
fore the gun is definitely placed; then
its career will soon be over"
The military authorities, according
to another morning newspaper are
convinced that the Germans are using
two~new guns, while Richard Arapu,
the military expert Of LOeuvre, be-
lieves there is a whole battery of
them.

Austro- German Offensive
In Italy When Weather O. X.

Washington, March 25.-A formid-
able Austro-German offensive in
Italy as soon as natural conditions
permit, is forecast in official dis
patches from Rome today, which say
Austrian divisions continue to arrive
without interruption and are. taking
up positions on the front.
Austro-German artillery is receiv-
ing reinforcements daily, the dis
patches say, while new aviation camps
and additional ammunition deposits
are observed to be under construction.
The opinion prevails in military
circles at Rome that the German
offensive will break with extreme
violence on the Franco-British front
followed by an immediate Austro-
German offensive on the Italian front.

The Italian Battlefront may be
divided into three parts. the first
of which portrays the work and
dangers Of the Italian troops that
are operating in the snow covered
Alps. How they overcome tie prob
lens of transporting their big guns
and ammunition is truly MARVEL
Gus, and unless one sees these pic
lures IL is impossible for him to
appreciate the great effort that the
italian people are putting into this
war. The second part of this pic
ture shows clearly the operations
of the italian troops on the low
lands. The third part OF the pic
ture IL devoted TO the work OF the
airplanes. the Italian Red Cross
and exploits of the italians on the
high seas.
During the exhibition OF this pic
ture there was bee on display in the
lobby of Polls Theater many relics
direct from the battlefields of Italy
kindly loaned for the occasion by
Gen. Emilico Guhelmotti. Of the
Italian stan. who is at the present
time in this country.
The Washington herald., 1918-07-12

In presenting The Italian Battlefront
at Polls Theater for the week of
June II, Mr.. S. z. Poll feels that
he is bringing before the public a
production in which all OF the
American people are especially in
terested at this time. Italy, for
sometime past, has been one of the
chief worriers of the allied nations,
but the events of the past few
weeks has proved conclusively that
the Italians are far from being de-
feated, their gallant defect of the
Austrian troops have won the praise
OF all Of the allies.
The Italian Battlefront was pro-
duced under the direction of the
supreme general stan Of the Italian
armies and was brought to this
country with a view of showing
the American people Just what the
Italians are doing to help win this
great war. No other nation that
is now engaged in this mighty con-
fict is forced to overcome the difn-
culties that beset the Italians.

MARKET SOUND
BUT SOME SELL
"Broadan Wall" Calls Liquii-
dators Financial Slack"
ers" for Realizing.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York, July 11.-Financial slack
ers sold stocks freely today with the
result that material declines were re-
corded in several issues. The excuse
was the calling OF money by the gov
ernment from banks. The real reason
was a belief that the German often
sive that is expected to- begin about
next Monday will be the most terrible
fight of the whole war. The action of
the market today was therefore
shameful, and particularly so as the
city was mourning for a dead hero.
The selling was very much like that
other unpatriotic attack made on the
market the day the Stock Exchange
was closed, while troops bound for
training camps and France, were
marching down Fifth avenue.
Action of particular stocks today is
a matter of secondary importance, for
It was the selling of u. s. Steel-con-
centrated selling of the kind referred
to- that upset. the market and fright
ened investors and traders in other is
sues. Maybe Steel will reduce its divi-
dend, but II anybody imagined the
present rate would be continued the
market would not linger long at this
level. Steel has discounted a reduc-
ton OF its dividend to per cent.
Aside from the shameful attempt
to stampede investors just before
the greatest battle of all history, the
stock market is in sound condition
The public Is satisfied to hold its
securities and the big bankers and
multi-millionaire investors know
the near future will see America
and her allies triumphant. So. for
that matter; do the raf1ers OF to-
day. That's why they want to
break the market and get cheap
stocks.
Taxes will be large, but the tax
money will be expended for defense
OF the very properties that pay it.
1t will be really money put back
into the properties and will pay
big dividends to shareholders. The
earnings that are left, even after
the big taxes, will be greater than
most of the companies ever hoped
to earn in the most bonanza peace
times. Crops are above normal.
A period of tremendous business
expansion Is sure to follow the war.
for this war has been brewing for
a generation and all the world has
been held in restraint. The marvels
OF industry for war purposes have
astonished the world.
The marvels of industry in the
coming peace will astonish and re-
ward those investors who refuse to
be stampeded by the pro-German
liquidation that shamed the stock
market today.
