HEAVY CANNON NOT new.
Armies Used Big Caliber Guns In the
Fourteenth Century.

Armies Used Big Caiioer GUNS In the
Fourteenth Century.
Although one is astounded to
hear of the immense size of the
heavy artillery used in modern war
fare, it should be borne in mind that
projectiles of even larger diameter
we're used long ago.
The first piece of artillery record
ed was made by Schwartz, Ger
man, soon after the invention OF
gunpowder in 1880, while the first
use of artillery in warfare was prob
ably made by the Moors Of Alge-
ciras, Spain, in 1343. The town is
situated on the same bay and oppo-
site to Gibraltar.
Edward ILL.,, at Crecy, in 1916,
had four pieces of cannon, and be
also used artillery at the siege Of
Calais in the following year.
In Edinburgh, to which it was
transferred from London at the re-
quest of Sir Walter Scott, may be
seen Mons Meg, large cannon thir-
teen feet long and of twenty inches
caliber, which is said to have been
used by James II. at the siege Of
Thrieve Castle in 1855. This gun
used stone shot. Five years later
the king met his death at Roxburgh
by the bursting of a similar cannon,
the Lion.
The largest bore recorded is gun
Of twenty-eight inches caliber, made
at Beejapoor, India, during the sev-
enteenth century and known as Ma.
lick O. Meidan, signifying "Lord
of the Plains" By some authori-
ties it is said to have been made OF
cast iron and by others of bronze.
Cast iron cannon were not made
until the latter half of the fifteenth
century. Previously they we're al
ways made of bronze. As the Bee
japoor gun was not completed till
nearly 200 years after the introduc-
ton of cast iron for guns, the ques-
ton may be genuinely open to
doubt.
Be that as it may, the projeetile
fired by the gun weighed 1900
pounds, and at the time it must
have been a formidable weapon.
The III ton guns of the Benbow, q
British battleship built in 1885,
used projectile of 1900 pounds.
Italy purchased in 1884 from the
Krupp firm a 119 ton gun, and the
same firm six years later made
135 ton gun, which is at Cronstadt,
at the head of the gulf of Finland,
in Russia.-London Chronicle.

Tho Lions Share.

1t is really not the male lion, with
his terrific roar and formidable ap-
pearance, that the explorer fears,
but his mate. The male lion is a
good looking poser, but when it
comes to business it is his wife who
counts, a la the African native.
Game is pulled down by the female
lion, and then the male beats her
of until he has feasted to repletion,
when she may have what is left;
hence "the lions share"

To Toll Poison Ivy.

If when you 60 into the woods
you remember the following simple
rules, which were laid down by Will
liam Hamilton Gibson, you will be
in no danger of confusing the poi
sonous sumach and ivy with the
harmless varieties:
First.-The poison ivy has three
leaves.
Second.-The five leaved is harm
less.
Third.-The poison sumachs have
white berries.
Fourth.-No red berried sumach
is poisonous.-E1change.

Liberty Loan

 Do Your Best
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

IRepubiican A. r. Leased WIreI
 WASHINGTON, April 20.-To- morrow is Liberty loan Sunday throughout the land, and thou sands of churches will hold special services or hear special sermons on the need of citizens to loan their money to the government.
 Reports to headquarters today emphasized the active work done by women in gathering subscrip- women's pledges are segregated and latest tabulations show S32,- 3f0,o00 obtained by women's com mittees.
 SOLDIERS TAKING BONDS
 From military camps, loan pIedg es are beginning to pour in, and even in France, the Philippines, Hawaii, China, Alaska and Pana- ma, soldiers are being given oppor- tunity to subscribe.
 The most striking change in the percentage column today was the move of the Kansas City district from fourth to second position, re- placing Chicago. Dallas and San Francisco are tied for fourth place.
 kansassCity reported the follow ing subscriptions by states: kans- as, S16, 6,f45,700; Oklahoma, S14,7o9,- 900, Nebraska, S14,546,850; Missou- ri. S14,505, 300; Colorado S9,7o3,- 300; Wyoming, S2,o9o,950; New Mexico, $73o, 100.
 ARIZONA LEADS DISTRICT
 Dallas reported the following percentages of quotas obtained: Texas, 40; New Mexico. 33; Arizona 61; Louisiana, A and Oklahoma, 31. Tonisht's treasury figures brought the total of the American peoples contributions to war loan includ- ing the first and second liberty loans in one year of war up to ST. 179000,000. With the addition of the eighth loan, Germany has raised from her people in a little more than three and one half years of war about s20,8o0, 900, 900.
 Germany'a record as compared with the United States was made the subject today of a treasury appeal "to beat Germany with Both dollars and Guns.'

British Raidina opsyation

The British apparently are expecting some new move by the enemy in the Arras region and Friday night British detachments advanced in a big raid ing operation on a front of nearly mile south of the Scarpe, near Beau rains, taking prisoners and capturing machine guns.
 A renewed attack here would be logical proceeding for the German it would appear. after their failure to gain ground by striking south from the Lys salient with the bending back of the British line south of La Bassec canal as one of their presumed objects. |. Look for Renewal In South
 The French apparently are looking for a renewal of the German offensive south of the Somme at no distant date, as was instanced by this weeks move on General Petain's part to improve his defensive positions along the AvSe. southeast of Amiens. The French gained the eastern slope of the heights ! overlooking the river by this move, and on Friday night they had the best of a accommodating encounter in this sector repelling a raid and taking some pris- oners themselves.
 Plan Sinister Move
 From Harbin, Manchuria, comes a. report that the Bolsheviki authorities have ordered the munitions and sup plies that have accumulated at Vladi- vostok to be shipped to European Rus sia. The entente allies have long been l concerned lest these valuable materials of war fall into the hands of the Ger mans.
 At Nladivostok it is unofficially re- ported that increased anti-Japanese demonstrations there have made it necessary to arrange for the sending of endorsements by Japanese and 1 British.

DILLON PARTY |S
 PLEDGED TO FIGHT
 CONSCR|PT|ONA ACT
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

DUBLIN, April 20.-(By the Asso- ciated Press) five members of the Irish party met here today and, with John Dillon presiding, unani- mously adopted a resolution that in the present crisis we are of the opin- ion that the highest and most immed- fate duty of the members of this party is to remain in Ireland and actively cooperate with their constituents in opposing the enforcement of the com pulsory military service in Ireland. The enforcement of compulsory mili- tary service on nation without it's as- sent constitutes one of the most brutal acts of tyranny and oppression of which any government can be guilty. The present proposal of the Lloyd George government to enforce con scription in Ireland is an outrage and a gross violation of the national rights of Ireland
 In conclusion, the resolutions pledge the party's influence and power to de- feat conscription.
 Fifteen hundred delegates of trades unions, meeting at the Mansion house today, pledged resistance to conscrip- lion and fixed next Tuesday as the day for the stoppage of all work as a sign of this resolve and to enable all work CTS to sign the pledge of resistance.
