PARIS, April 1.-The military authorities here are of the 0pin- ion from the examination of the damage done by the four guns being used in the lombard ment of Paris, that two are used on alternate days. The tubes of the guns; which are nothing but rifles; are more than sixty feet long. The installation and ad- justment of these guns must have required at least three months. Doubtless. they are concealed under mountains of cement, rendering it most diffi- cult to locate and destroy them.

But finally it was carried in a hayonet charge, incomparable in bravery by the French and Brit ish troops who mingled in the same ranks. The woods north of Moreuil was also captured.

HELP YOUR COUNTRY"
 SAYS SECRETARY MCADOO.

"I write to ask you to help your country.
 ''You can do so and also help yourself in a very simple manner.
 Many of us can not fight, but every one of can help by saving. Every dollar saved and not spent unnecessary things releases that amount of labor and material to make articles for our Army and Navy. When dollar that is saved is loaned to the Government it is doubly effective.
 "To that end Congress has authorized the sale of War Savings Stamps and United States Thrift Stamps in denominations of $5 and 25 cents, respectively. Each War Savings Stamp you buy is loan to the United States Govern ment, is direct help to every soldier and sailor who is risking his life in the war, and is safe and simple way to invest your savings.

TURK AND BULGAR
ROW OVER SPOILS
Ottoman Government Apparently De-
termined to Claim Territory
Neither Country Will Get

Washington, Sept. l0.-Informatior
reached here today from Il source
usually reliable that Turkey has sent
large force to the Bulgarian bordc,
where trouble is brewing over division
of territorial spoils of war between
these two allies of Germany.
The possibility of open conflict be-
tween Turkey and Bulgaria is watched
here with great interest and is known
to be causing serious misgivings at
Berlin.
The revolutionary spirit is rife in
the Bulgarian army and among the
civilian population, according to re-
ports. The BulgarianS want more ter
ritory and are said to be determined
to secure all of Serbia and even a por-
ton of Austria. They already have Sc
cured strip off Northern Turkey
Another cause for dissension is the
fact that when Bulgaria was awarded
the Dobrudja in the Roumanian peace
treaty dictated by Germany, Turkey
demanded the cession of that portion
of its northern territory, that had
previously been given Bulgaria as IA
reward for entering the war on the
side Of the central powers.
The recent resignation of Premier
Radoslav, of Bulgaria is said to have
been caused by his inability to secure
more territory, and his unwillingncss
to betray ;iic central powers. The new
premier, l.. Mammoth, is believed here
to be figurehead, whi will accept the
dictation Of Germany.
