Aero Club Discusses L.
New York. March 25.-omcials Of
the Aero club Of America, who today
called q special meeting to discuss
the nature Of the weapon employed
by the Germans in bombarding
Paris at q reported distance of more
than 20 miles, refused last night to
believe that long range guns were
used, as claimed in the German Of
dcial communication.
They asserted that the creation of
b gun capable Of shooting more than
thirty miles was deemed impossible,
and discounted the German claim as
an EFFORT to distract attention from
ether means by which the French
capital has been shelled. Such
aneans, they said, might include
aerial torpedoes guided by wireless.
There were four ways in which
Paris might be shelled, according TO
a statement issued by Alan r. Haw-
icy, president OF the club, and Henry
woodhouse. a member OF the board
OF governors and author Of text
books on naval and military aeronau-
tics. They are:
First. by new gigantic long range
guns hidden in forests or isolated
places within 25 miles Of Paris.
Second. by large aerial torpedoes,
equipped with wings which might be
Launched on Paris from almost any
distance and possibly guided by
wireless control.

THE COST OF WORLD LIBERTY.

Conservative estimates are that
the war to date has cost the world
about $4,000, 100000, or not, far
from the probable total value OF all
property in the United States in the
year the war began.
The calculation is based on an in
forming booklet just issued by, the
National City Bond Company. on bond
issues of belligerent countries and
neutrals most affected by the clash of
arms According to this publication
the bond issues of the allied coun-
tries, including war stamps OF the
amounted to $4,000, 100000 in
round numbers. Those Of the central
bowers aggregate $29,OOO,OOO,O
and those of Switzerland, Holland
and Spain $74S,0OO,OO0 The grand
total is close to $70,000,O0O,000.
To this is to be added at Least
taxation; floating in goo6 debts eb6 not not, yet
the figures UP to 10000, 900.
Counting in the sums spent by
states and cities of Germany prop
erty losses in Belgium, France,
Germany, Bulgaria, Turkey, ku-
mania, and the destruction OF ships,
the $l4O, 100000 estimate ap-
pears to be. modest one. 49,
mendously expensive one for both
sides, but particu larly for the Allies,
led by the United States, and there
is no man who can say whether the
struggle will end within that period
or 60 on Indefinitely Germany'ss
bonded debt is heavier than that OF
any other single nation, and she has
raised least by direct taxation. Her
rulers have been getting away with
this debt carnival by holding out, to
in the end the Allied belligerents
will be compelled to settle the kais-
er's war bill and pay billions besides
into the Golfers of Germany in the
form of indemnities.

One of the ships officers told The As

LONDON. April 29.-The great bat
tie for the Channel ports is again rag
ng furiously. After brief pause fol-
owing the counterblows delivered by
ne British and French, the Germans
iavc attempted to follow up their
weekend successes south of Ypres. AT
dawn to-day the chorus of guns began
Ind the bombardment spread until it
s%tended from Meteren to Voormezeele
distance of ten miles.
simultaneously the hostile artillery
became exceedingly active on this
'front.' from Nieppe Forest to Givenchy
and also between Arras and Lens.
Shortly after the deluge of gas shells
and high explosives, the German in
fantry attacked in the neighborhood of
Locre and Voormezeele. Apparently
on. drive is aimed at Mount Roure and
Scherpenberg, the eastern buttresses
OF the Flanders range, while the other
is pointed westward, two miles south
Of Ypres.
German Fire Increases
Field Marshal Haig's report makes
no mention of any readjustment of the
line east of Ypres, but apparently the
enemy started to-day's attack several
hundred yards west of his old positions
of 1914, in the neighborhood of Hooge.
Hill 60 and the bluff
General Won Arnim concentrated
great numbers of howitzers and field
batteries southeast of Ypres, and all
during the night he maintained per-
fect hurricane of fire on the whole
Allied back area between Ypres and
Voormezeele. In fact, the expenditure
OF ammunition from Houtholst Forest
to the Scarpe was colossal. AS the line
bends 1T measures some forty miles be-
tween these points. Vimy Ridge was
shelled for three hours The roar of
the guns shook the earth.
AS the enemy used gas shells law
ishly during the night around Ypres.
1t was apparent that he intended to
hit there.
More Reserves Called
There is no doubt that the Flanders
front will remain Ludendorff's main
theatre of operations for the present
and that he has brought up more re-
serves in the hope of exploiting his
successes. which have been purchased
at considerable cost.
Berlln's announcement of heavy
French concentrations on the front at
Amiens is not likely to distract much
attention from the Ypres theatre. Won
Arnlm's and Won Quast's armies are CO.
operating to-day against General
flumer and the French forces, the for
ner attempting to advance toward
Poperlnghe, to the north of the Flan-
ders Hills. while Won Quasi is irving
for Locre, Mount Rouge and Mount
Scherpenberg.
Hazebrouck and Poperinghe are both
important railway points. They have
been under the enemy's fire for several
days, but they are secure as long as
the British hold the hills running west
to Cassel. SS'

Germans Blocked in Ter
rife Attacks Along
15-Mile Front
French Repulse
Drive at Mt. Rouge
Belgians Also Stand Firm;
Hangard Wood Assault
Is Cut Up

The Allies yesterday flung back
the Germans with tremendous
losses before Ypres in the greatest
attack the enemy has made since
the opening of the Flanders Of
fensive.
After several hours of terrific
4 bombardment with gas and high
explosives, Ludendorff sent his
masses forward on front of
more than fifteen miles just be-
fore daybreak. His object was to
crush in the Ypres salient from
the north, east and south.
From Meteren, near the Western
end of the German Lys salient,
all the way to Zillebeke Lake,
just southeast Of Ypres, the enemy
stormed against the French and
British positions. In addition,
heavy forces were thrown on the
Belgians north of Ypres.
Everywhere the Allies stood firm.
The British yielded no ground.
The French, defending the heights
Of Scherpenberg and Mount
Rouge, after giving way slightly,
counter attacked and retook prac-
tically all the lost territory. The
Belgians stopped the foe and in
1icted a cruel toll of dead and
wounded.
All day long the conflict ragged and
last night it was still going on at
certain points. But the great Ger
man effort was clearly failure.
The Germans Sunday night made
several attempts to ad- ance at
Hangard Wood, between the
Somme and the Luce, but their
storm troops were so badly cut up
by French artillery and rifle fire
they never reached the Allied
trenches. It is on or near this
point of the line that American
troops are stationed.
Pershing's men have now taken
their position on the front east
Of Amiens in great force. Cor
respondents, describing their ar
rival on the front on a recent
night, say the Americans were in
high spirits and made little of the
constant rain of shells from the
enemy's guns. Military observers
expect heavy fighting here socn.
The Germans tried to cross the Disc
River east of Varennes, Paris
states, but were driven back by
the French fire before they could
reach the south bank.
On the rest Of the West front there
were several sharp local actions.
The British Sunday night at
tackled near Festubert, on the
southern side Of the Lys salient.
and won back the post the enemy
took the night of April 1921.
Fifty Germans were made
prisoners.
Berlin announced yesterday the Ger
mans "since the storming of Mount
KENNEL" had taken 7,1OO prison
ers and SO cannon.
