LONG RANGE GUN EULOGIZED BY GERMAN PRESS

Marks Greatest Progress in Development of Firearms, Huns Claim. .-' (By Associated Press.) . , ' NEW YORK, April, 27. The German people are informed that the long range guns now bombarding Paris marks "the greatest progress in the development of fire arms since the invention of powder" In a eulogistic article sent out by the semiofficial Wolff bureau and published in the German newspapers under a Berlin date on March 28. .The Wolff dispatch follows? "In vain our enemies are racking their brains to solve the secret of our giant cannon with which we are bombarding Paris. They believe they have found the solution in an Austrian long barrel cannon. "In view of these reports it must be stated that for this latest war weapon which, with its long range and accuracy of aim, represents the greatest progress in the development of fire' arms since the invention of powder, we have to thank solely German science, German technic and German Industry." The Cologne Gazette, of March 31, a copy of which has been received herein an article headed, "The, 120kilemetre cannon," 6ays: "The 42-centimetre mortars in August, 1914, smashed fortresses whih. up until then, had been considered as modern and impregnable. At. -that moment, there began a new period of the construction of fortresses. "The 31st of March, 1918, brought the technical wonder of the 120-kilometre cannon and with it the beginning of a new era in the history of the construction of cannon, which, however, may be of far greater importance on the course of the war, and perhaps, for peacetban the 42 centimetre mortars. "Now that the possibility of such technical achievement has been demonstrated, there will not be much to prevent the great belligerent nations from manufacturing such cannon. ' Of course, such giant eannon will be the exception in artilltry equipment, for they are expensive, heavy and probably may be used only for a limited number of shots. ALLIED LINE Continued From Page One. , British positions there and a further retirement' in the next few days is not unlikely. Southwest of Ypres, the Germans are now on a line running from the northwest of Bailleul through Loore, Ypres-Comlnes Canal. 7 Field Marsha! Haig admits a retirement along the canal and Berlin claims the occupation of St. Alol, two and one half miles south of Ypres. Berlin also says that the prisoners in the present Flanders battle have increased to ,- BOO. " ' . Kemmel Hill did not fall Without a struggle and it remains a monument to the bravery of a French regiment which, cut off from the allied line, held out until surrounded on all sides by the Germans. The ultimate fate of the French defenders, fighting tremendous odds, Is not known to the allies. Fronca-British troops at tempted strong counter attacks to re take the hill, but were driven back by the Germans, who are using nine divisions on a front of about eight miles. Belgians Still Holding. The German attack in the north, unless it can gather much greater momentum, does not yet threaten the Belgian line from Dlxmude to tne sea, although it does affect the British about Ypres. The enemy must advance still further before the Belgians will be compelled to give up the historic line of the Yser which they have held for so many months. Successes were gained by allied troops in a counter-attack south of the Somme from Villers-Bretonneux to south of Hangard. The Germans were driven back all along the line and most furious fighting raged in the village of Hangard, the western quarter of which is now held by the French. South of the Luce the French also gained enemy positions and the fighting goes on. This success was aided greatly by the fact that the British had recap tured Villers-Brctonneux Thursday. The fighting in and around VillersBretonneux, the scene of a battle in the war of 1870, will be notable for two thines. In it British and German tanks met for the first time" and the Germans were Worsted, while Brlt:sh infantry wearing gas masks foi" prob ably the first time in an attack retook the village from the Germans who bad hurridly donned gas masks under a heavy attack of gas shells. General Radciiff e, director of military operations at the British war off ice, anticipates an enemy offensive on a big German scale than yet attempt ed in a great effort to break the junc ture of the British and French armies. He thinks this will fall on the line from Arras to the Somme. Fighting will continue through the summer and man-power reserve will bring" victory. General Foch, according to General Radcllffe, still hase the allied reserve army almost intact. There are no-indications that the relations between Holland and Germany are any nearer a peace adjust ment. The leaves of absence In the Dutch army and navy have been suspended while it is reported the Dutch government is taking certain military measures. The German press has taken up the cudgels against Holland and threatens the little country, alleging that German patience is almost exhausted. 95,000 BEDS FOR ARMY WASHINGTON. April 27. WTien hospital construction now undr way is completed more than 95, 00( beds will be available for army pu rposes, according to statistics compiled in the office of Surgeon General Gorjras. .

The sector of the western front pictured herewith represents the battle area from Verdun, in the northwest corner of the map, to Toul, on the southeast, and gives an idea of the character of the country in which American troops recently have withstood and successfully countered some of the heaviest German attacks against them since they have been in the great conflict.

Registration of Women For War Work to Continue Through Monday

Women who neglected to register for war service will be . given ... one more opportunity, Mrs. Paul Ross, in charge of the county registration, an nounced Saturday. ; Owing to the bad weather and the fact that this is a particularly busy season for housewives, Mrs. Ross believesthat there are a number of Richmond women who have not yet registered and for that reason one more day has been added to registration week. The registration booths will be opened Monday afternoon from 1 to 6 o'clock, and after that there will be no further opportunity to register. The booths will also be. open Saturday night. -" : The number of women registering has been much larger than was expected, Mrs. Ross said Saturday. It is believed that when a complete report is received from the rural districts that a great per cent of the women of Wayne county will have been shown to be registered for war work. A, report from Perry township received Saturday morning stated that the registration in that county had been completed and that 240 women had signed for war service. The registration was in charge . of Mrs. Charles Mendenhall. Mrs. Frank Rowe and Mrs. F. McMinn, in charge of the registration booth in the seventh ward, say that the registration in that ward shows Thirty Eaton Conscripts Want to Work on Farms EATON, O., April 27. Upward of thirty applications have been filed by Preble county conscripts for furlough for farm work, according to the local county draft board. It is said there is a market shortage of farm labor throughout the county. FIRST DRAFTEE Continued From Page One. we moved and settled down to work and have been working hard ever since. Is a Wonderful Country. "France is certainly a wonderful country, and I could write much more about it if it were not for the censorship. The coldest it was over here is about like March in Richmond. It is like May here now (March 18.) The fields are all plowed, and gardens dug and planted so you can imagine how green the grass was for St. Patrick's Day. The French madamoisells are quite a feature over, here too. They all seem quite proud to converse with the American soldiers. That is we converse with what- little French we speak. I am gradually getting the vocabulary, but it is a little hard at first. . "My duty consists of assisting the cook, so . I don't get a great deal of time to spare. In fact no one does, as we are pretty busy all the time. I heard an engine working just now, so I went and looked out the widow of the barracks, and it was an ailplane just passed, making the second today. Quite a number went over yesterday. We see them often. "Quite a number in our 'Company get the home papers, And I will certainly appreciate getting some now and then. When I get some I can begin to brag about my town too. 1 do it anyway, but then I will have something to show for it. The sight of the Palladium will look like a fried chicken on a Suftday bill of fare. "Hope everybody Is well, and in the best of spirits, as we will have the Kaiser soon.

GIVE BENEFIT MUSICAL The young women of the North A Street Friend3 meeting gave a farce and musical program at the West Richmond Friends church Friday evening for the benefit of the Friends reconstruction work in the war zone. -

In the region around Seicheprey, northwest of Toul, American forces were withdrawn temporarily a few days ago when the Germans attacked in force, only to be driven out later with a loss, estimated in General Pershing's report at close to 500 men. Seicheprey was recaptured by the Americans and French and is now occupied by them, together with the country west of it.

Many of them are surprised when pay is suggested, the women in charge of the registration say, and are especially eager that their work shall be noted as volunteer without. pay. WEEK-' OF

On the extreme right is the Moselle valley, while the country just west of this, running for twenty-five miles or more north and south, is the Woevre region, more or less open to attack and in the nature of a plateau. All the advantage afforded by the character of the country in this sector is with the allied forces.

THREE MEATLESS DAYS WEEKLY FOR FRENCH PEOPLE

Feeding of Part of United States Army Causes Supply to Dwindle. PARIS. April 27. The introduction of a system of three meatless days week is announced in an official note. It is explained that the gradually dwindling reserves of frozen meat, the necessity of feeding part of the American army and occasionally of supplying the wants of other allies, force the government to draw more and more on French cattle stocks. Unscrupulous intermediaries operating in local markets, it says, have taken advantage of these circumstances to run up prices with the result that the raisers keep back tbe best animals from the requisition officers. This process has a double effect in that it makes it difficult to feed the army and sends up out of all bounds the price of meat for civilians. ' Tese speculators, some of whom realize a profit of 900 francs on one steer, according to the statement will be rposecuted vigorously. In addition, the government will seek to encourage raisers by increasing the requisitioning prices and in paying additional bounties on animals fattened for market. In departments where the proper proportion of cattle for the army Is not forthcoming the .shipment of cattle will be stopped until it is. ' If these measures do not have the desired effect, the statement concludes others will be introduced. With that end in view, a committee of experts has gone to England to study the workings of the cattle system there. Palladium Want Ads Pay. DON'T FORGET THE MELTING POT at Jenkins' Jewelry Store C
