German, Cities at Mercy
Of Nezv Long Range Gun

With gun of eighty miles range
the Allies could exact full retribution
for the German bombardment OF Paris.
They could she'll Karlsruhe, capital of
Baden, only seventy-six miles from the
present battlefront. They could put
under fire the fortresses Of Metz and
Strassburg, respectively seventeen and
hirty-eight miles from the front.
Other German cities we'll within range
with the number Of Jniles from the
front, are: Diedenhofen, thirty-eight;
saarbruecken. forty-two; Freiburg
thirty two; Zweibruecken, ffty-two
and Irier, sixty three. Many of the ~
are the seats Of important war indus
tries and have been visited often bv

The new American gun could swaeD
the whole OF the occupied district of
France. 1t could fire on a great zone
OF southern Belgium and all western
Belgium as far as the Holland Dor
der. 1t could lombard Antwerp sew
enty miles from the present front. II
S probable, however, the Allies would
not use 1t against French or Belgian
cities.

Italian King Thanks
Henry P. Dawson

ROME, April liking Victor En-
manuel, in receiving H. P. Dawson,
chairman of the American Red Cross
War Council, to day, expressed deep ap-
probation and admiration for "the
manner in which the American Red
Cross has shown to Italy the support
and sympathy of the American people.
The King said that not only 1ad tins
in itself been of great value, but the
way in which the assistance had been
rendered made it doubly valuable: The
whole Italian people, he said, had been
il pressed with the character OF the
men sent here by the American people.
"Italy," the King continued, feels
very warm spirit Of understanding and
sentiment for America. Italy delights
to think of America as an ally, and
knows the American army and navy are
rendering great assistance.
"The American Red Cross is the mes
senger telling Italy IL very practical
wav that America is with her, heart and
soul. The Italian people are pro-
foundly grateful for it all. 1t is dis
tinct contribution to the winning OF the
war. It is a supreme expression OF IN
ternational sympathy and goodwill
Mr.. Dawson and Ivy Lee, also OF the
American Red Cross, arrived IN Rome
to-day. They will take part in the cele
bration here on Sunday Of Americas
entrance into the war.

Big Gun Bonsbardn1enf
Of Churches Denounced
By Catholic Newspapers

WASHINGTON, April Am official
canle dispatch from Rome to-day SAYS:
catholic Italian newspapers express
great Indignation at the destruction
OF churches caused by the new long
range German guns. The .Corriere
dItalla' publishes an editorial deal
ing with the bursting of she'll in a
Paris church during the ceremonies
on Good Friday.
The newspaper says the horrible
episode is the synthesis of the titanic
struggle between Christianity and bar
barism; the Germans and Austrians
lighting with their Turkish allies
against Jerusalem. the diplomats OF
Berltn and Vienna conniving at the
wholesale massacreing of Christian
Armenians
Now, the latest application of Ger
lnany's military science is the colossal
ionge range gun. which brings desola-
ton and death among the congregations
gathered in the temples Of Christ.
"The Tribuna" thinks the second
phase Of the gigantic battle on the
French front is about to begin with
the employment of great reserves,
which are being massed on both sides.
The German losses are immensely
greater than those inflicted on the
French and the English. The encoun-
ter of the opposing forces will be
formidable and Will mean the greatest
effort yet made by all belligerents on
The French front"

from Rome
Some military critics." says the dis
patch, ARE of the opinion that Austria
intends 20 wait the results of the often

great preparations are carried on by

TRANS are transferring large bodies of
troops from the Plave line to the noun
tain zones. Evidently the Austrian
commands have realized the impossi-
blllty OF breaking through the Italian
resistance along the Piave aud regard
the mountain line more suited for the
invasion of Italy.
Lately the Austrians have under
taken the construction of new fortifica-
tlons along the Livenza and the Taglia-
mento rivers, adopting a new system,
consisting of points Of support with
several bridgeheads, employing in this
work Italian prisoners and the civilian
population of the invaded Italian prov

American Officers
lnsulted, Threatened
By inns IN VQsa Cate

STOCKHOLM, April 4.-The Ameri-
can ard British army officers who re-
Gently visited General Mannerheim. the
Finnish White Guard leader, upon or
iers from their Stockholm legations
We're insuted and threatened with per
sonal violence by Finnish officers in a
hotel restaurant in Vasa. according to
a report from the war correspondent IN
Finland OF Swedish newspaper.
The correspondent, who occupied an
adjoining table. says the Two visiting
officers who figured in the incident,
wearing the army uniforms of their
rank, entered the restaurant at a time
when it was crowded with Finnish off
GERS, mainly from unit which had
served in Germany. The visitors had
scarcely had time to order their meal
before Finnish officer approached the
table and told them their presence was
not desired. He withdrew, however
when he was shown a pass from Cen
eral MannerhelN.
Later another Finn asked the orches-
ira TO play Die Yacht am Rhein"
Everybody arose, the American and
Englishman, plainly desiring to avoid
threatened violence, also rising. An
other Finnish officer, continues the cor
respondent, staggered to the table and
said:
ut is our principle not to sit in the
same room with Englishmen."
The American replied that he was an
American, not an Englishman, but the
Finn responded Its all the same;
you have just two minutes to get out
of the house"
The visitors, who had finished their
meal, left the room. accompanied by
insults from the Finnish officers.
NJ. Sario, the White governments
Foreign Minister and a noted pro-Ger-
man, sat at a nearby table, the CORE
spondent says, and made no effort to
protect the men, although they were
travelling on a special diplomatic pass
from his own government.
Americans and Swedes who have re-
Gently been IN Finland declare the in
cident given is typical of the existing
feeling among the great majority of
the Firms with whom they came in
contact. German doctrines are being
spread among the White army forces,
especially by Finnish soldiers who have
returned from Germany and have been
appointed commissioned or non-com
missioned officers in General Manner
helms army.

American citizens throughout the
land are likely to pause tomorrow and
inquire what the nation has accom-
pl!shed during its year at war. Paus-
ing won't help the national cause much,
but buying a Liberty bond will Cele-
orate the first anniversary of American

start, is the suggestion of .he Liberty
Loan Committee of this district.
Patriotic feeling, it is declared, no
doubt will be the underlying reason for
the success of the drive for Fighting
dollars" which will begin tomorrow
morning, but the loan workers have not
slackened their efforts because of their
confidence in the response from the
people The committee plans to send
tive items of printed matter to every
one of the 100000 residents Of the
Second Federal Reserve district.
The aim OF the promoters of the
loan is to keep the fact that the United
States is appealing for financial NUM-
tons in the minds OF all the people
every day until the drive ends, on Nav 4.
Every social and economic group in
the community virtually has elected
Its delegates to the enormous commit
tee of Liberty Loan advocates.

The reaction of the masses to the
appeal Of the nation is to be symbol
lied by the widespread display of flags

Committee to fly "Old Glory" from
their windows and housetons. The
idea of loyalty will be expressed fur
Their by the display of 900 900 Liberty

Part of Z ayr1n1erfors;
Atrocities in Finland

STOCKHOLM, April 4.-Acccrding to
a dispatch from Vasa, dated yester-
day, the White Guards captured the
eastern part of Tammerfors yesterday
morning, despite desperate resistance
and took a thousand prisoners and a
quantity of locomotives, wagons and
provisions.
Reports from Swedish correspond
ents contain stories of terrible atroci-
ties committed by Red Guards. The
bodies of scores Of White Guards have
been found mutlated in indescribabla
fashion. One American told The Aaso-
ciated Press correspondent he had seer
fourteen bodies treated in a horrible
manner Many of the White Guards,
especially officers, carry capsules CON
tanning poison for use IN the event OF
their capture.
Red Guards also accuse the White
Guards of atrocities. Correspondents
with General Mannerheim's army admit
the red leaders are regarded as muir
derers and are shot when capture /.
If, as is frequently the case, they are
found in possession of dunn dun nul-
lets these are used in executing them.
