LOST THREE HouRS

After the aerial battle, most of those who had taken refuge in cellars, hearing mo sound after half an hours stay, came out and remained in the streets about their doors, wondering at the prolonga- tion of the raid, which generally does not exceed three hours. School children were marched to shelters which had pre- viously been allotted them. Many res- taurants were closed, but large stores which had just finished arranging their windows lowered their shutters and sent their employees into the cellars.
 Paris wore an aspect recalling the early days of the war in 1914 Telephone girls remained at their posts, very few taking advantage of the administration s permission to seek refuge if they wished. Tramways and auto busses stopped on the streets and the conductors and ticket collectors sought the nearest shelter. The subway trains ceased running and the tubes were used by pedestrians to reach home on foot. The police were placed at each station to prevent a repetition of the recent panic and prevent people from assembling around the entrances. Nine hours thus passed and then Paris learned that it was not being raided, but bom- barded

WASHINGTON THEORY

Washington, March 23-The long range bombardment of Paris by German gun presumably 62 miles off, announced as a fact today in the French capital, dumbfounded American ordnance off cers. The 22-mile bombardment of Dun- kirk by the Germans more than a year ago had set record, and ordnance off cers of the American, British and French corps freely conceded they never had dreamed of a monster gun with a range of more than 30 miles.
 Some officers frankly questioned that shells from rifled cannon actually had fallen in Paris Others sought explana- ton in new devices or secret gun em- pie cements in the vicinity of Paris. None wanted to believe that any gun had been inv ented by the Germans or anyone else which could throw a 9h-inch projectile 60 miles.
 The finding of shell fragments bearing the marks of gun rifling seemed to pre- clude the idea of any ordinary airplane bomb. It was suggested that monster airplanes. mounting guns might have been used, but no one has ever con ceived the possibility of carrying 91z- inch weapon in the air short range, Lightweight inverted howitzer carried by aircraft appeared to some as a possible explanation.

Austro-German Press
 Comment on Battle

Washington, March 23.-French official dispatches reaching here today represent the German and Austrian press as taking
 varying views of the offensive.
 The German Munchener Nueste Nach-
 richten is quoted as saying:
 We know from several months experi-
 ence what 1t means for us and for our
 enemies. This encounter is thes trug- gle for definite victory
 The Austrian Nue Freie Presse says: ''No one can predict with certainty the results of the battle and it's conse- quences, and this circumstance is capa- ble of creating conditions for concili-
 atory peace in every sense. What will happen after the battle, what will de- velop, what the future holds in store, cannot now be determined" The Arbeiter Zeitung. socialist organ of Vienna. asks:
 What can be the reason for the strong 1 language of the German military leaders which contradicted so openly that of Count Hertling? Naturally this reason: I The German people will not know. It suffices stostelI them that new great feat of arms Is to be attempted in the west And it is thus that millions s0t men are to be led intosa battle such as | the world has never known"
