Probably an Austrian skoda.

The German mystery gun was first
identified as probab bly, being an Aus
TRAN Skoda in Associated Press dis
patches from Washington last Satur-
day.
Ordnance experts of the allies mis-
sions here, on reading OF the long
range bombardment of Paris, declared
that if the shells actually were being
thrown by a gun :. it undoubtedly was
the Skoda, as that vas the only gun
they knew of susceptible to such long
range development. They did not con-
slider, however, the possibility that the
shells were being thrown such an I'M
heard-of distance by a new gas.
The principal factories of the great
Skoda works are in Prague and Posen,
Bohemia, although since the war a
number of plants have been estab-
lished in other cities. 1t was reported
from Posen a few weeks ago that dur
ing the strike in that city the works
had been shut down for a week. 1t is
shown that the Austrian army has
been well supplied with Skoda guns
and many of them have been moved
from Italy to the western front

GENEVA, Monday, March 25--The
long range guns bombarding Paris, &C
cording to a Vienna dispatch received
here, are of Austrian manufacture,
having been built at the Skoda factory.
The gun itself is not new. but its nov

three of the guns. ~

weapon with which the Germans are
bombarding Paris from distance estl-
mated at seventy-fiy miles. 1t is frank
ly conceded by experts the enemy mas
sprung one of the greatest surprises OF
the war.
Gen. Sir Desmond OCalIashah. for
merly president Of the army ordnance
committee. says of the German gun:
The projectiles must have been nred
from longer and heavier guns and with
q more powerful propellant than we
have any knowledge of"
Second Charge Suggested.
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 1t a fresh
impetus. This theory is secuted by
Gen. OCallaghan, as is also the variant
of it, that the projectile is fitted with
q propeller, enabling it to continue its
journey when it is no longer driven by
the projecting force from the gun.
1T would SEEM" says Gen. O'Callag-
han, that a new departure in ballistics
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
muxzle velocity of about 1000 feet per
second, the gun having an elevation
of about SIS degrees, which very
quickly takes the projectile into a
stratum OF rarified air in which re-
sistance is greatly minimixed."
Strain Upon Gun Enormous.
The strain upon the gun. he says,
must be enormous and probably it
would be unable to survive more than
q hundred rounds at the most. the cost

AN BLOW

If there had been a searching party
sent out to find some way to deaI
universal military training a death
! blow, they could not have found G
more effective method than the Stu
dents Army Training Corps which
was put at the colleges and the uni
versities Of the country this fall. In
stead of proving to be an sppendage,
rs most of the college authorities
thought, the commanding officers
proceeded, with that usual military
arrogance often exhibited by the Sub
ordinate military officer, to make
the Students Army Training Corps
the head.
The colleges were elated at first.
They We'd with each other to see who
could be the first. When it Was
found that military training was to
be placed in state institutions, then
it was that the colleges controlled or
supported b ythe churches, thought
they could not afford to be behind
in the procession, so they said, "me
too" They all have their fill o. it.
We are glad of it.
We have never favored universal
military training. The war, instead
of changing our convictions in this
particular, has proven to us that il
unnecessary. If this war has not
bcea fought in vain; if we are not
chasing an ignisfatuus, if wc have not
been seeing mirages instead of real
and permanent peace growing out of
this war, there are hundreds of
reasons less now than before this was
Ter universal military training. !
The S. A. T. c., in place of being
a sort of side show at the colleges,
was the big tent and other things
made subservient. 1t did not seem
to matter with those in command
whether there was any literary pre-
paration or not, but the student must
hep" and learn how to salute. All
this is all right in war; it is necessary
but in peace it is birthstone from
lakes of fire to the spirit of the
average American. "Too much red
tape and salute" The dissatisfac-
ton with the S. A. T. C. is universal
throughout the country. We quote
below from a recent editorial in the
Chicago Daily Herald:

simultaneous training in military af-
fairs and in academic subjects. 1t

German newspapers, in commenting
on tie raid at Zeebrugge, gene rally
take the hint given in the official re-

however. admit that the attack was
made with great boldness.

sunk close to the coast will not hinder

saye.
The "Lokal Anzeiger" says that the
raiders succeeded in blocking the
waterway to a great extent, but that
the U-boats still are able to leave their

ish version as a fantastic substitution
