PARIS March 23.-The Germans have been firing on
Paris with long-ranee guns.
Since o'clock this morning shells of 24O mimeters have
been reaching the capital and suburbs intervals
of an hour.
The shortest distance from Paris over 100

Of Paris refused to mmure themselves in cellars and other

incident.
As the day passed and the a clear signal was not given
the feeling that something in the way of raid
expected, and this explained until an official
statement was issued, saying that the delay due to
bombardment by ong-dsance cannon.
The 'all clear" then sounded and the normal life
resumed.
The cable office reopened to take of accumulated
piles of dispatches. Pieces of shells examination
found to be full of rng marks which proved that they
had not been dropped but had been fired from This
apparently left greater mystery than where the
gun question located the nature of and by what
method it being operated.
Another thing that turned the thoughts of officials the

ing used the regularity with which the bombs fell

.M'ADOO REPORTS
!: !. !: + ON RAIL CONTROL

? Director General William G. Nc
Adoo OF the United States Railroad
administration, has made public q re-
port covering the first seven months
OF his trusteeship in the effort at re-
: affirming his intent to "humanize the
railroads and negative the idea that
corporations have no souls"
A unified system of railway and wa
ter mileage, which was formerly 2,905
railroad companies, operating 397,014
miles Of trackage, was shown. Boat
= and steamship lines engaged in coast
wise transportation and navigating
an inland water system which includ-
ed come ffty-seven canals, 3,057 miles
in length. as well as many thousand
miles of navigable rivers, lakes. bays.
and sounds, was also shown to be
UNIFIED.
The Director General points out
that there were two prime considera-
tions always before the administra-
ton during the first few months.
p The winning of the war and service
TO the public at the lowest cost con-
sistent with the payment Of fair
wages to the railroad employees and
the maintenance of the transportation
system under control OF the Govern
ment as a self-supporting rather than
-money-making agency were the
prime considerations.
3. AR. McAdoo is confident that the
railroads will shortly be in a condi-
tion to meet any demands that may
be made upon them. Much time is
expended to effect savings in opera
tien.

ANNOUNCES new
AZ
:. PRIORITIES LIST
=

The War Industries Board through
ths priorities division has compiled a
new priorities list to supersede all
previous listing, and is a master key
90 govern the flow Of basic industrial
elements to the industries essential
TO the war program.
In addition to being a guide for
. priorities in the supply of raw ma
terial and in transportation il is also
the basis for the guidance for local
boards in exemption and deferred
classification in the new draft. 1t
can also be the governing factor in
the distribution OF labor, capital, IA
cflities, material. transportation, and
fuel for the industries.
Glass !, as fixed by the divisio !,
includes industries deemed OF intrin-
Efc importance on account Of their
products for use during the war.
Those in the first class will have
Z EiI the advantages to be offered. The
other classes ., 3, and 4, arc so near
together that the line which the
order has drawn is hardly to be con-
Sfdered, and are simply held above
non-essentiaI industries.

SAYS INCOME TAX
/. ISN'T HIGH ENOUGH

Benjamin c. Marsh, spokesman of
-fhs American farmer and critic OF the
revenue bill as reported by the House
Ways and Means Committee, prac-
tices what he breaches.
- He appeared before the House COM
mittee and the Senate Finance Com
mittee, where he declared the income
tax rate was not high enough. Marsh
maintained that all men should give
r their entire incomes in excess of
= 800, 900 and others in the less favored
classes should pay in proportion.
Letter Made Public.
In a letter addressed to Secretary
McAdoo, made public today, Marsh
asks to pay a larger income tax than
that provided in the bill. And he is
a poor man, comparatively speaking.
my wife and I have a joint income
this year Of about $4,000, which we
. both earn" he wrote.
: 1--WE are both dissatisfied with the
revenue bill as contemplated by the
= Ways and Means Committee because
: we are not called upon TO pay our fair
share of the cost of the war In
Democratic way.
: - Though we have several persons
dependent upon us in whole or In
: part, we feel that the least we can
do is to pay the wages OF at least one
