Nobody has forgotten how, in the
spring Of 1918, the Germans cast Of
cloud Of mystery over the world and
produced a semblance of awe in a
people already Injured to the pro-
gressive destruction of warfare by
dropping a high explosive shell on
Paris. from a distance Of 20 miles.
Military experts .marveled at a wea-
pom that could SO defy the law of
gravity. The press was crowded with
conjectures Of the world gun" con-
ceived by the Krupps.
But to Christian Kaiser, Of Great
Falls, 70-mile gun was even then
but an initial effort in field of
swiftly growing distance warfare.
He thought that a weapon with this
range compared with the ultimate
long distance cannon as the old style
muzzle loader to the present day field
piece sizes. Before the world had
CROPPED for an explanation of the
German implement of destruction he
had asked the war and navy depart
ments for q test of projectile which
he proposed to hurl twice the distance
travelled by the shell thrown into
Paris from the German front.
Inventor Meets Delays
Kaiser has experienced most Of
the delays encountered by an inven-
tor with his first experiment, but he
has now advanced work on his shell
to a point that has brought from the
war department an invitation to test
his invention under the observation
of government experts. AS soon as
a she'll can be manufactured he will
take it east to one of the government
proving grounds and he expects to
achieve distance Of 100 miles with
the first demonstration. If the test
is satisfactory, he is confident of be-
ing able to increase the distance tt
100 and even $50 miles.
The Great Falls man has worked
from a different starting point thar

others at intervals of approximate,
20 miles. A fuse discharges eacl
compartment in turn and finally es

Is Confident Of Success
Kaiser is smilingly confident O
the success of his shell. He says h
knows that the load in each compart
ment will function as expected an
