AT TAO a second explosion occurred, not 50
\ loud to those at the scene of the first be-
cause it was a mile and half away. But the
sound and shock were terrific to the hundreds
about the Care de IESt, where 1t occurred. The
pavements here were crowded, even so early. In
front of the railway station there is an entrance
to the three metro or subway lines which have
a junction at this point. The bomb struck on
the cobbles of the Boulevard de StraSbourg,
not a hundred feet from one entrance to the
subway lines, and exploded entirely above the
surface of the street. Eight Of those who lay
about on the streets and pavements were dead.
Thirteen others were more or less seriously hurt
When the first effect of the shock had passed,
some Of the crowd and proprietors Of shops
hurried to the dead and wounded and carried
them into the shops or assisted them on their
way. II those who launched that bomb could
have seen the effect they probably would have
felt that they had made q very effective
beginning.
President Poincare, M. Clemenceau and Gen.
Hers artillery Office were called from police
headquarters and told such details as were
known. OfficerS of the army technical offceS
were already inquiring about the sounds, why
and where? They took nothing for granted
Artillery and air service officers and experts
on explosives departed at once to investigate.
There was intense activity at the aerodromes
on the northern edge of the city, and airmen
were climbing into the sky to find the sup
posed planes that were dropping the bombs
Five more explosions occurred before 9:15,
when the order was given to sound the sirens
and declare a general alarm. This instantly
stopped all business offices, stores, subways
buses and trolley cars were emptied while the
people sought shelter.
BY $50 the artillery Offices were beginning
to admit to themselves that the projectiles,
for such they had been proven to be by the
fragments, might be coming from within the
German lines. The grooves in the steel and
the enormously heavy side walls and base OF
the projectileS indicated an extremely high
power pressure, hence probably correspond
tngly high initial velocity Of the shell. 1t was

true that the nearest point of the German line
was 81 miles away. The gun would certainly
be at least and possibly as much as 10 miles
behind the lines for even moderate safety This
made at least 70 and perhaps II miles. No
such range as this had ever been heard Of
More definite information on the locations OF
explosions and effects was being received. This
enabled plotting Of the first seven bursts on
the city map. line through bursts and
passed along due northeast, through the center
of the city. Bursts and were almost on
this line, and 8 and 6 at almost equal dis
tanceS from 1t but on opposite sides. The
points Of impact with the buildings which had
been struck were on the north and east sides.
SO the projectiles were coming from the north
east.
Maps Of the army fronts were consulted for
clues on locations. A line running due north
east through the center of Paris passed through
the center Of the pronounced corner" Of the
German line created the year before when they
retired on the Somme. The city OF Laon was
in this corner or pocket, and the point OF this
corner was, or had been two days before, the
nearest point of the German line to Paris. Some
officers remembered and by reference at once
confirmed, that during the previous September
formidable excavating, possibly for large gun
emplacements, had been noticed in this salient.
And an air photograph taken in merely general
reconnaissance over this region on March 6
revealed two new railway curves Of the kind
commonly used in the French army for rail-
way artillery, leading of to the southwest from
the Laon-Amiens railway line near the little
village Of Creepy. The railway lines were very
distinct on the photograph, but whatever was
at their ends, if anything, where the excavattng
had been seen in progress. had been so well
camoufiaged as to defy detection.
In such an emergency one is sorely tempMS
to accept seemingly reasonable conclusions.
Perhaps 1t was not surprising then that cer-
tain artillery officers came to the conclusion as
early as $50 that Paris was being bombarded
by a new long-range gun Of about eight-inch
calfber, probably located IN the region Of Laon.

railway curves at Creepy, about 12O kilometerAs

shelter promptly but would have remained
there. But in the day, in the morning. On
Saturday, o beautiful Spring day, 1t was DIFF
ferent. One imagineS so much when one cam

danger. BY IL people were out on the streets
again in spite Of the fact that projectileS cone
tinued to fall at more or less regular intervals.
From 7:2O until 2:45, when the lombard.
ment ended for the day. IS projectiles had
struck In and about Paris, killing Is people and
wounding 20. A number Of buildings had been
demolished, and the business Of one Of the
worlds greatest cities had been brought to
standstill for an hour or two and demoralized
for the remainder Of the day.
A plotting ON the maps in the artillery ONCE
Of the places where projectiles had burst during
the day showed many interesting things among
them the definite fact that the shots were
certainly distributed along o northeast line
passing through the center Of the city. In
addition, the sound ranging division at the
Laon corner reported noticeably increased vol.
umeS Of sound at somewhat the same intervals
aS those between explosions In Paris.
When this information, together with much
other data, had been assembled in the artillery
ONCE late in the day, the officers there thought
themselves justified, particularly in view Of the
extremity Of the emergency, In concluding that
the two curved tracks at Creepy, photographed
on March 8, housed the gun or guns. Some.
thing had to be done to stop the bombardment,
and at once. Orders were therefore telephoned
late in the evening to Group Commander Stap-
fer at Mont Notre Dame to detach battery
of his 3O5 -milimeter, or 12-inch, rifles on Batig-
nolles Railway carriages and start them at once
for Vaily on the SoisSons-Rheims Railway.
They were to be emplaced as quickly as pos
Sible on any available siding near Vailly and
would begin firing at the earliest possible mo-
ment on the map point whose co-ordinates were
4723. This was at the end Of the shorter rail-
way curve on the air photo Of March 6.

about me on the Quai de Seine in the north

"What was it?" To soldiers it sounded like the

civilians 1t resembled the crash of a 22-pound
air bomb, the sound of which was becoming
familiar to people Of Paris. Examination of
the exact spot Of the explosion failed to an

to the scene, curiosity overcoming caution.
Fragments of metal were found, some of them
too hot to hold.
