GUN HAD RANGE
 HUNDRED MILES

PARIS, July 1S.-P)-Appearing before a committee from the cham Der of deputies, Chief Magistrate Bourgeois of the navy department stated he had a cannon perfected at the time of the armistice signing with a range of one hundred miles.
 Bourgeois told the committee this large gun was ready to go into ac- tion when the Germans quit and had they not signed the armistice when they did it would have been but a few days until the big gun would have been used against them.
 The carrying power of this gun, as described by the chief engineer, exceeds that of the Germans long range gun by almost thirty miles, For several weeks the Germans were dropping shells in this city from a distance of approximately seventy miles. The range of the gun posses sed by the Germans created world wide comment but it can not be com pared with the one told of by BOur- geOis.

BELGIAN STEEL
 MEN TO FORM A
 LARGE MERGER

BRUSSELS, July 18,-(P)-Belgian industry and enterprise is far from being down and out as result of the war Manufacturers are now planning to "come back" stronger than ever before. One of the new steps to be taken by the manufac- turers will be the adoption of adyanc- ed principles of organization much on the same lines as the immense American mergers.
 Out of the ruins of Belgium's vast steel industry there will spring one of the biggest combinations ever known in the commercial world. Ten or twelve of the most powerful steel corporations have decided to pool their interests into one immense un' dertaking.
 These manufacturers have made themselves familiar with the way American capitalists conduct big busi' ness and they are convinced that such plan is better for their in duStry and the Belgian steel DuSl ness as a whole than their former policy of competition between some twelve large companies.
