Germans Pad List of
American Prisoners

The list Of American prisoners re-
ceivcd from Germany and given out by
the State Department yesterday may
! have been "padded" for propaganda
purposes. The American Red Cross
doubts the correctness Of the list, and
various New Workers came forward
yesterday to deny that they were in
prison camps.
James Madigan, of Brooklyn, says
that at least hfty-two of the names, in
! cludng his own, should not be listed
: He says that he was captured on the
Georgia on December 10, 1916, but was
released in February through Ambassa
cor Gerard. He says that all the othc,
men taken from the Georgia were re-
leased at the same time.
Others who have been seen in this
country since they were released are
Walter Moffat-, of 1901 Third Avenue
BROOKLYN; Edward Joseph Brennan. 90
Sixteenth Street, Brooklyn. and Albert
Dcpcw, Arthur D. Field. Joseph Nal
Ions and Edward Richie, all of Yonkers
The parents of Angelo Picadill, of Ar
thur Avenue, The Bronx, who was listed
under the fighting name of Ryan, says
that he was returned and is now at
Panama.
Various men captured on merchant
ships before this country entered the
war were released through the efforts
of Ambassador Gerard. 1t is believed
that all of them are listed as in prison
camps.

Believes Magnetic
Field Is Used to
Reduce Friction

PARIS, March "a. - prominent
American chemist, whose name is with.
held for military reasons, in state.
mcnt to The Associated Press TODAY
concerning the long-rangc gun that is
being used to lombard Paris. advanced
the theory that the barrel of tho cun
is surrounded by magnetic field which
keeps the shell virtually free from the
sides Of the gun when it is being fired
thereby eliminating friction, which is
the greatest cause Of lost motion. and
thereby greatly increasing the muzzlc
velocity of the gun.
The chemist pointed out that an
parcntly the same power was being used
as in other high velocity guns. but in
much greater quantity. He added thn,
the shell of the new gun travels to n
great height and largely through at
mosphcrc much thinner than that ira.
vcrscd by the ordinary shell, and there
fore, with less air resistance. The opin
ION was given that the shell probably
is made Of highly tempered tungsten
steel and that the deterioration of the
barrel Of the gun is not likely to be
AS rapid as in the ordinary high velocity
gun because Of the elimination of fric
ton. IL was stated that heavy charges
Of explosives would tend to decrease
tho accuracy of the gun.

weight of troops and fighting machn-
cry employed, the results of the last
two days are not superior to those we
achieved ourselves in the first two
days Of our offensive on the Somme
in 1916. You must also keep in mind
that the few miles which the Germans
have taken with the sacrifice of thou
sands upon thousands of men consti-
tute only small part OF the territory
they evacuated in 1917
In their official communicate of this
morning the Germans declare that the
first stage of the great battle has end
What will follow We shall see. and I
do not choose to be prophet, but /
have conviction that the beginning
OF this battle holds nothing that
should be d!squiet:nc to the Allies.
Ready to Give Blow for Blow
"Our gallant and brave comrades Of
tho British army will be able to do
now what we have done in Nerdun,
and, side by side with the British, the
French army is ready to render the
enemy blow for blow.
AS regards the bombardmcnt Of
PARIS BY long-range guns. the bonn
bardment does not seem to have hurt
Paris as much as is usual in bomb
ing by aeroplanes. I have only one
word regarding this firing on Paris:
II there really exists such q gun the
initial speed of the she'll must be such
that the gun Will not be able to work
after very limited number of shots
We must therefore maintain tho same
attituds that the Parisians have held
there must be complete calm.
"Finally. ask our American friends
to draw from the first two days of bat
Tie only two conclusion ons-iirst, the
necessity OF keeping cool and making
themselves the critics of the news,
and, second the necessity to act rap
IDLY and increase with all haste the
preparation of the American help. In
such a great battle as this we must see
the whole thing and not only a part
Of it.
"In the last two days have noticed
& tendency now and then on the part
OF the American press and the Amerl-
can public to be little nervous.
America is in the war. American boys
are on the front. The American pub
lie in the rear must keep as calm as
the American boys on the fighting
line"

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
/ FRANCE. Saturday, March pa pris-
+ oncr. taken in the American sector
when questioned to-day, said that no
/ offensive was planned by the Germans
in this sector.
"All we want is to be left alone
nc declared.
Every man on the American front is
anxiously awaiting news regarding the
German offensive and momentarly ex-
pecting to hear that the British have
won victory.
The American snipers have been ex-
ceedingly active during the day. They
picked off considerable number of the
enemy. some of whom were seen to
whirl and pitch from the parapct into
thcr own trenches. Others were seen
to drop in their tracks as the American
sharpshootcrs bullets hit them.
The experiences of the patrol of four
Americans who. after crawling nearly
a mile, surprised a German listening
post and brought back prisoner, were
quite thrilling. The patrol was in COM
mand of a lieutenant. The lieutenant
jumped on the German. who was so
deeply cngrossed in his duties OF lis
tening that he had not heard the ap-
proach of the Americans, while the
others c. the patro' went into the
post.
The lieutenant and the German rolled
into trench filed with three feet of
water A second German attempted to
shoot the lieutenant but an American
corporal drove his bayonet through
him.
The patrol brought back their pris-
oncr over the route they had taken to
the post. and when he came to describe
his capture the German said wonder
;ngly:
"1hc first thing I knew big Amcri-
can was OH top OF my throat. and next
was being hauled across No Mans

Big German Gun
Not New Idea,
Declares Maxim
He Tells How Range Is Oh.
tanned With Sub
Calibre Shells

The gun with which the Germans are
scientific discovery, nor is it in any
sense a new invention, according to the
belief of Hudson Maxim.
"There is nothing new about it, in all
probability" he said "Shells of 9-inch
calibre such as are falling in Paris
could easily be projected scventy-six
miles by employing gun Of 18-inch
calibre and using sub-calibre shells.
With a 9nch gun, so feet in length
and with maximum elevation of 45
degrees, a projectile may be thrown
twenty miles. By doubling the calibrc
of the gun and retaining the 9-inch
shell, SO as not to increase the resist
ance,. double the energy could be
brought to bear upon the she'll base.
By again doubling the length of the
gun four times the power would be de-
yeloped and four times the range OBJ
tanned.
Great Range Possible
"To shoot sub-calibrc projcctilcs
rings are attached to the ends of the
she'll These rings carry the rihing,
and, being split, detach themselves
from the main body of the projectilc
upon leaving the mouth Of the gun.
This gun the Germans are using prob
ably weighs from 800 to 900 tons and
is about 100 feet long. Such gun
would throw shell fifty miles into the
sky, or above the carth's atmosphere,
whore little resistance would be en-
countercd.
"The idea is stupcndous, I know, but
az a matter Of fact, given money
enough say, 4 billion dollars there is
nothing to prevent the construction Of
II gun which could shoot Il 1G-inch pro-
jcctilc so far above the carth's surface
AZ to overcome gravitation and pos
sibly render the shells a planet.
"Such q weapon is possible, but hard
" practicable, and neither is the gun
wbich have said the Germans may be
using, for the reason that the cost Of
operation would 80 greatly exceed the
military value Of the damage done by
It. For this reason do not think this
type Of gun VIII be a permanent addi
ton 10 military equipment.
Hone TO Affect Morale
"Jhc great value Of such device to
the Germans Mt this time lies in their
hope that the bombardmcnt Of Paris
WIN affect Allied morale. Since the
war began The Germans, al tremendous
cost, have been bombardIng London
from Zcppeljns. The damngc done in
London mas not been great enough to
equal the cost Of the raids. The cost
Of snper-Zcppclin, for instance, is
grcatcr thhn tnat Of block Of ordI-
nary residential dwellings. But that
is not counted by the Germans in their
desire TO prosecute their campaign Of

believes that the Germans in Picardy
have committed themselves to another

The long Wanted assault ADVERTISED
broadcast. in accordance with German
notions of the psychology of terrorism
and with the added frill OF a short

to the American people, Captain Tar

keeping cool and scrutinizing dis
patches from critical viewpoint, and
the other, the need Of haste in prose-
cutting the war.
The German attack said Captain
Tardieu, "seems to have exceeded in

attacks, but insist that this attack is
