Washington, March 21.-Warnings
that the people of the Pacific North

bill to empower the government to
commander timber and conduct log

The dsbate fiared up so suddenly
and lasted so long that time allotted
for considering the bill was used up.
Senator's were not sparing in their
declarations that the government
should net swiftly and drastically to
meet what they characterized as a
menace to the people. Senator Cham
berlain of the military committee par
ticularly declared it might be neces-
sary to send troops into the spruce
forests TO protect workers.
Senator Borah of Idaho declared
the government could deal adequately
with the Industrial Workers of the
World without resort to force and by
orderly, lawful action.
Without mentioning the name Of
the Industrial Workers Of the World
leader To whom he referred, the Ida
no senator declared:
THE government now has in it's
possession the evil genius of the In
dustrial Workers of the World, a
professional criminal for 20 years,
who has taken the lives OF at least is
men. The I. w. w. believes he leads

crush the I. w. w. would be to pun

WORLDS BIGGEST CANNON.
PARIS BOMBARDED FROM DJS-
TANCE OF SEVENTY-FIVE
MILES.
Damage Wrought Not Great And Peo-
pie Soon Recover From First Alarm
Object OF BOmbardment to Create
Panic Among French.

Paris. March 24.-The German
monster cannon" which has been
bombarding Paris has been located in
the forest of st. Gobain, west of Laon
and exactly, 122 kilometres (approxi-
mately 76 miles) from the Paris city
hall. The gun bombarded Paris dur
ing the greater part of Sunday.
The day was ushered in by loud
explosions from the ten inch shells
and Immediately the alarm to take
cover was sounded. This occurred at
6.55 o'clock ard many persons sought
shelter. but greater numbers of them
appeared in the streets on their way
to the churches, which were well
filled. The women who sell palm
leaves on Palm Sunday did their usual
thriving business.
At first the shells began arriving 81
intervals of 20 minutes, and the de.
donations, during the Sunday calm
seemed louder than those of Satur.
day. The power to disturb the equan-
unity Of the populace, however SEEM
ed less.
For the benefit of that portion of
the populace which had been led rc
believe that the Germans had broker
the lines with guns bombarding Paris
from nearby positions, a semi officia
note was issued during the day. It
warned the people against believiny 2
pessimistic reports.
THE French front is intact" said
the note. ANY assertion to the con-
trary is q lie."
The bombardment of the capital
ended around o'clock and as late as
3 o'clock no explosions had been
heard for more than an hour The
'clear signal was sounded at $50
o'clock.
Although the earlier hours of the
bombardment the shells arrived on 90
minute intervals. later in the day they
began arriving every Is minutes on
an average and some Of them fell IL
minutes apart -.
In military circles the belief was
expressed that the Germans were
using two long distance guns. The
Matin says the position OF one Of the
guns was established in the St.
Gobain forest which would place it
somewhat, farther south than had
been believed and in the wooded
area. This position would be about
70 miles from Paris.

law provided that the compensation
estimated at $945,OOO,0OO annually
shall be predicated Oil average ne,
earnings for the three-year period
ending June 80, 1917. The amounts
will be ascertained by the interstate
commerce commission and certified tc
the president, who will negotiate with
the roads for their acceptance. Or
dinary taxes, such as national or State,
shall be paid out Of operating reve.
nues but war taxes must be paid by
the companies out of their own funds
or charged against the standard re.

their proportional share of the war
burden. SO that the properties may
be returned to their owners in condi-
ton as good as when taken over,
provision was made for their main
tenance and for protection against
unusual deterioration.
In the absence of a complete fed
eral valuation of railroads, the exact
rate Of return to be made by the gov

but it is estimated that the companies
will obtain an amount representing
nearly 1-3 per cent
In event that the president finds
that an equitable return can not be
computed for some roads on the
three-year pre-war basis because of
abnormal operating conditions during
that period, he is authorized to fix an
amount as he shall believe reason

In case q road refuses to accent the

These provisions of the act safeguard

One section of the act provides the
