GERMANS BIG GUN LOCATED AND
SHIELDED

Paris, April 9-French aviators
have discovered the location of the
big gun with which the Germans have
been bombarding Paris at long range,
and the continual bombardment of
the spot by the French artillery and
bombing by the airmen have made
the handling the piece difficult. This
explains the intermittent fire of the
long-range weapon.
The piece is mounted at Crepy-en-
Laonnois, near the road from La
Fere to Laon.

LONDON HEARS AMERICAN AIR.
PLANE CROSSED OCEAN

London, April 9-All London was
talking today about the latest war
rumor-the landing in England last
night of an American airplane after a
nonstop flight from New York with
twelve passengers. The authorities
declared there was no basis for the
story but this denial served merely
to give it additional currency.
According to the popular version
this was the big surprise" which
Premier Lloyd George said last week
the Americans would soon give the
Germans.

It is the place where he reads his books and

that is dry and light and warm and clean.
A hut may be shed or tent or a fine old

COOPERATION IN PALESTINE
Three Thousand Jews Have Success.
fully Combined to Fight the
High Cost Of Living.

IL is, therefore, with the keenest
pleasure that hear Of the success of
an experiment on q small scale un-
der war conditions in Palestine, Nor
man Hapgood writes in Leslie's. Since
1914 scarcity, disease, deprecated
currency, have combined to reduce the
Jewish workers almost to starvation.
During the war small group decided
to take the most immediate and effec-
tive step. About three years ago $50
workers formed cooperative So
ciety in order to fight against the
rise in prices. Each worker contrib
uted 10 francs and with this capital
OF 4,5OO francs the society began to
make its purchases. AS a result the
members of the society were able to
purchase four times cheaper than the
ordinary public. This cooperation so
ciety, "Mashbir," embraces at pres.
ent about 5000 persons and has a
budget Of 10000 francs. Their first
year of bust mess showed profit. Dur.
Ing the second year robbery and
plunder by the Turks changed this
profit into loss. The third year has
now shown them again paying their
way. This society includes not only
workmen, but also teachers and clerks.
1t has applied to the commission for
a credit of 10000 francs and for au-
thorization for one Of their group to
travel to Egypt to make purchases.
1t Is. indeed, on small scale com.
pared with the business cited on
July 6. but the lesson is the same
The strongest single answer to the
cost of living lies in cooperation.
