Gun"
IS ONE OF WARS
BIG SURPRISES
Extraordinary Range Due to
Gun Being Provided With
Second Charge.
PROJECTILE WEIGHS
ABOUT 300 POUNDS
Is Likely to Prove Less Eff
fective Than Aeroplane
Raiders, is Opinion.

London, March 26.-In the mystery
gum" the name generally given to the
weapon with which the Germans are
bombarding Paris from distance es-
tfnated at rs miles, it is frankly con-
coded by experts, the enemy has
sprung one of the greatest surprises
of the war.
Gen. Sir Desmond OCa1laghan, for
merly president of the army ordnance
committee, says of the German gun:
1.-THE projectiles must have been
fired from longer and heavier guns
and with more powerful propellant
than we have any knowledge Of
From Paris has come the suggestion
that the extraordinary range of the
gun is due to the projectile being pro-
vided with a second charge which ex-
plodes when the first stage of the
flight is completed, giving it a fresh
impetus. This theory is secuted by
Gen. OCa1laghan as is also the vari-
ant of it, that the projectile is fitted
with a propeller enabling it to con-
tinue it's journey when it no longer is
driven by the projecting force from
the gun.
CHAN, that a new departure in bal
listics can alone explain the enormous
range which is three times that of
anything hitherto accomplished"
One expert estimates that the weight
of the projectile is about $50 pounds
and that it leaves the gun with a
muzzle velocity of about 1000 feet a
second, the gun having an elevation
of about s. degrees which very
quickly takes the projectile into a
stratum of rarified air in which re-
sistance is greatly minimized.'' The
strain on the gun, he says, must be
enormous, and probably it would be
unable to survive more than 10f
rounds at the most, the cost of each
being nearly 1000 pounds.
All the experts agree that ct sucf
a tremendous range, even approx
mate accuracy is out of the question
and, therefore, the gun is only of u.s.
where target is presented on aSvas
scale, like Paris. The object aimeH
at, they say, is rather more mora
than material, but in both respects tn
gun is likely to prove less effectiv
than aeroplane raiders.
