LACK OF PROVING
GROUND DELAYS GUN
Congress Hampers Progress
by Its Usual Tactics
Of Delay

Washington, April 4.-Development
of America IS 105-mile gun is being ham,
.pered by congressional delay in appro-
priating for a naval proving ground.
This was learned officially today, to-
gether with the fact Il
important ordnance work of the navy is
suffering from the same reason. Author
tiles suggested that the delay may have
a marked effect on the war. Some un-
dtrtakings for which the proving ground
is needed ought to be tested now so
they could be put into the struggle,
they said.
The navy department IS original esti
mate of $2,O0O,O00 for proving ground
territory in King County, Maryland, ex'
tending the Indian Head ground, has
been sliced to $1,000,0O0 and now slum-
bers with the unpassed naval appropria-
tion bill.
The projects which need testing are
not untried dream ideas, the experts
say, though the 105 mile gun may not
prove of more than psychological ad-
vantage.
With the possibility that the allied
American and Teuton navies may be-
como involved in the struggle, the
inavy's gun development now is vital,
it is declared. Lack of territory on
which to test the guns, therefore Is
held to mean that to an extent, the

With the French Armies in the Field,
Mar 18.-(By mail)-This is the real
story of the strikes which took place
in Germany during February as told
by the German people themselves.
Although the German censorship sup
pressed at the time all but the most
perfunctory news Of the strikes, it did
not succeed in keeping the German peo-
pie from writing to their fathers, sons
and brothers at the front, telling them
what had happened. Hundreds of these
letters were later taken from German
prisoners captured by the French in
scores of raids during February and
March.
While the admission is made in these
letters that the strikes failed to attain
their end, open declaration is made
that they are only the forerunner Of
more serious demonstrations. Extracts
from these letters follow:

The workmen did not gain anything
from their strike at Berlin, and un-
fortunately two policemen were kill
ed and several wounded. Several cleo

Washington, April 4.-The United
States, following the lead of England
is prepared to lock harbors against
trades which serves no war purpose.
Conbing the world 8 ports for add
ing chipping, vnd putEihg ldsr last
slnew into shipbuilding, this country
IS mapping hitherto undreamed of ree-
strlctlonR against non-essential com
merce, both import and export
In the work, the British govern
ment which already has cut England
10 the bone on non-war trade, is lend
ing valuable aid, it became known to-
day.
Early measures may be expected re-
leasing for troop transport and supply
service more than five million annual
tons OF shipping now engaged in inn
portati0n of articles never consumed
In this country but held here only to
be re-exported. Such juggling with the
tonnage, which now means everything
to the allies, can no longer be toler-
ated, government officials here feel.
Universal stoppage OF luxury"
shipments will also come in the very
near future, it is Indicated. The war
trade board, following its recent re-
strlet1ons on SO non-essential articles
is known to be preparing further lists.
With the west front struggle swing
ing in the balance and man power
likely to turn the ultimate balance,
President Wilson and his advisers
have reached this viewpoint, long
since forced ON the allies
Success of the allied cause now de-
pends ON the shipping it can put and
keep on the sea lanes leading to the
battle lines.
The American people shall be well
fed, well clothed and we'll cared for in
all essential requirements, but tho
time for enjoyment of luxuries or pre-
war time comforts from abroad is pass
ing.
Still further tonnage is expected to
be acquired shortly from neutral and
passively belligerent nations. British
representatives here are urging tho
government to give great attention to
South American and Far Eastern trade.
Negotiations are already in progress
with Brazil and Uruguay for utilization
of a number of German vessels intern
ed in their ports.
The China trade is counted ON for a
considerable addition when $50 smalA

ed from American Pacific ports, taxa

Meanwhile the last sinew is being
put to ship construction in this conn

COUNTS PEACE DRIVE
RESULT OF CHECK
ON WESTERN FROM 7
People Realize That Fearful
Slaughter Has AvaiIed
Them Nothing
By ]. W. T. Mason

written for the United Press)
New York, Aprn 4.-Realization
among the people of the central powers
that Germany has not won the war by
Won Hindcnburg IS strategy of slaughter
III western France, is undoubtedly res
ponsibla for Count Czernin IS new peace
drive.
Ire utmost significance must be at
tached to the fact that Immediately on
the conclusion of Germany IS push into
Plcardy, the Hungarian foreign
minister suggests he is willing to ac-
cept peace without annexations.
Ii the central powers believed they
were winning the war such a declara
tion at this time would be impossible.
Count Czernin practically invites the al
lies to make an offer of a non annex.
ationist peace to Austria Hungary and
lntimates as broadly as diplomatic Ian
guage allows, that he would accept it.
BY "non-annexationist peace,
however, Count, Czernin means in par
ticular that France shall abandon all
claim to Alsace-Lorraine. This is i'm
possible, not only from the standpoint
of the moral victory, which it is neces-
sary for the world s demOcracies to win
over Prussian militarism. Alsace-Lor-
raine S future has become symbolical of
the kind of world relations that are
to exist when the war is over For that
reason, it is no longer exclusively a
French question, but now an American
question and British question as well.
Count Czernin s intimation that peace
may be had if the allies agree to re-
Ject Frances claims to Alsace- Lorraine
is the strongest possible proof that
Austro-Hungary is anxious about the
outcome of the war. If the Teutonic ad-
vance toward Amiens represents a great
triumph for the German militaristic
machine, Count Czernin cannot see it.
All he wants is defensive peace, and
this is the limit of his ambition because
he knows no other is possible.
Count Czernin is a very shrewd OBJ
server. He is also determined that Aus
tria- Hungary shall not lose her future
world position through clinging to the
chariots Of the German war lords. His
newest peace speech is the most dam
aging comment ON Germany IS latest f.
fensive that has been made since it
became evident that the offensive had
failed TO put the Anglo-French armies
out of the war.

James King, On Duty at Cen.
SOrShlp Bureau, Victim of
Unknown Murder

Washington, April 4.--The murder
early this morning Of James King, night
watchman at the government censorship
bufeau-committee on public informa,
tion-sent a sharp thrill through the
city today.
First belief, however, that spy
seeking valuable information kept in
the building may have been responsible
gave way shortly before noon to the
suspicion that William Clements, negro
janitor of the committee, with whom
King had quarreled, may have been
responsible. The man is being sought
after failing to report for work today
Earl johnson, an assistant to Glenn.
ents, was taken to headquarters, when
he reported late for work. He is under
stood to lave made a damaging State
ment against Clements.
Occurring, as it did in the heart Of

the murder was given dramatic back
ground.
Within a stone IS throw Of 10 Jackson
Place, the committee S offices, Under

walks.
The shot that killed King, however,
apparently was heard by only one per
son except the murderer. Layina Muller
negro char woman, was working in the
basement Of the committee shortly te-
fc!e O'Clock when the revolver was
fired on the floor above her. Dashing
upstairs, she says she saw King drop TO
the floor, dead. She claimed to have
seen no one else.
Careful ssarch of the offices reveal
ed that neither the personal files of
Chairman George Creel or any other
Of the valuable archives were disturb
ed. 2his strengthened the belief Of Of
ficiaJs that personal enmity-not spies
-was responsible for the killing.
