For Wayne County by w. e. Moore
Snow this afternoon and tonight.
Colder tonight Sunday partly cloudy,
followed by fair. Brisk and strong
northwest winds diminishing Sunday
or Sunday night.
General Conditions - The great
storm which has been slowly moving
eastward has caused heavy SHOWS
from the lake region westward and
moderate SHOWS over the central
states. Rain in many places, espe-
cially In the east. The barometer
was the lowest in this section for
many years, except in 1907, but the
slow movement of the storm did not
cause as high wind velocity as is
usual under such conditions. Tenn
peratures are zero and below in south
ern Canada, but a storm coming in
the United States, from the Pacific
coast will prevent any severe cold
weather from settling over this dis
trict, although temperature will go
several degrees below zero tonight.
The far western storm is already
causing heavy rains over Washington,
Oregon and parts Of California.

Allies Want Long-Range
Gun That Shelled Paris

COBLENTZ, Feb. 15.-The allies
have taken steps to gain possession
of one Of the long range guns which
the Germans used to fire upon Paris.
The inter-allied commission at Spa
has made demands upon the German
delivering commission that long
range gun be included in the war ma
terial which the Germans are turning
over to the allies.
All the German officers whom the
American officials have questioned re-
garding the long range guns have as.
serted that all the crews who were
assigned to the task of handling the
"big Berthas" were sworn to secrecy
and ever since the armistice was
signed little has been known regard
ing the fate of these monster weapons
Recent reports were to the effect that
one of the "big Berthas" had been dis
mantled in West Prussia, while an
other report from a discharged soldier
said that long range cannon had
been seen on railway cars near Essen
