NAVAL GANNON CAUSED GREAT DAMAGE TO HUNS

Powerful Shells Twice as Large as Those of German Super-Gun. A NEW YORK. Dec. 30. The story of tho success of America's land battery of fourteen-inch naval guns, as told by members of the crews themselves, was given to the public here today when copies of "The Big U," a newspaper printed on board the battleship Utah, were circulated on shore. It was the Utah'B picked gun crew, the newspaper said, that was sent ashore to "get" the Oermon supergun which was shelling Paris. The gun was removed, it was said, before the batteries got into action, but the navy men had the satisfaction of smashing away at the German line for several months before the armistice was signed. The shells fired by the naval guns, according to "The Big U," were almost twice the size of those fired by the German super-gun and were so powerful that on one occasion an exploding shell hurled two loaded freight cars

from a track to the top of a railway station. Another shell landed in a hut w;here 100 Germans were watching a motion picture show and when the American troops later reached the Bpot forty identification tags were all that could be found to tell the fate of the party. Guns Fire 800 Rounds. The naval guns habitually fired at a range of from twenty to twenty-one miles, the article said, and more than 00 rounds had been fired when the armistice was signed. It would have been necessary to have removed the guns for relining within a short time had not the armistice put an end to their work. Describing the activities of the battery, the article said: "From the forest of Compiegne we fired on Ham; from Fontency and Hoissons on Laon and its railway connections; from Jussy (eleven kilometers east of Ham) on Montiers (north of Laon) ; from Charny and other points north of Verdun we destroyed the Metz-Sedan Railway line at Mont-

medy and other places and finally guns Nos. 1 and 2 were preparing emplacements in forests near Nancy and Luneville when the armistice was declared. "A number of holes made by our projectiles have since been visited. One was twenty feet in diameter and fifteen feet deep, another thirty-seven feet in diameter and twelve feet deep, pnd so on, depending on the character of the ground. "In the entire battery of 500 men, only three were lost. Two succumbed to disease and the other died of his wrimds from fragments of a German fih-y."

(By Assoc-Iatrt Press TOKIO, Dec. 30. The end of the

war does not mean peace for Russia, says Dr. Vaclav Girsa, of the Czechoslovak National Council who is now in Tokio. "Peace conferences will not be able to prevent the internal struggles in the disorganized state; that can only be accomplished by military decision, and can only be the task of the Allies," added Dr. Girsa. Many divisions of Allied troops now are needed to help Russia emerge from its chaos because, said Dr. Girsa, more than half of the Czecho-Slovak troops who were in Russia when the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty was signed now are in hospitals or in their graves. Dr. Girsa said the situation of his

troops in Siberia has been well-nigh insupportable. One division had been forced to hold for a long time an immense front. It had been obliged to guard the railroad, the important places in Siberia, to organize the munition factories and maintain order in all the towns. He quoted a Rusian officer from the front as describing the situation thus: "I am an old soldier and have seen many military troubles but the efforts shown by the Czecho-Slovak soldiers in Siberia surpass all human forces, and I can only

I say that the men seem to have len

carnea aDove their normal condition. Predicts Development. Dr. Girsa said that his people feel

that they must perish, but they v.Ish to fulfill their duty to the last. They have quite given up hope of effective military aid but they are determined to tight to the last breath. He expressed the opinion that the Russian nation would surprise the world by its powerful development in the future, lie added: "We Czecho slovaks ynderstand the Russian people. We have lived among them during all the great changes of the war and we feel sympathy for them. We can never forget the immense sea . of Russian blood which was 6hed during the first three years of the war. We must not forget that a great majority of the Russian people have not said their last word. "In giving to the Rusisan army protection we had absolutely no aspiration for political power in Russia, but such a misunderstanding seems to have been our fate frcm the very beginning of the war. Even now we are called by the Russians 'the mysterious Czecho-Slovaks.' " Dr. Girsa said it was a fatal mistake to suppose Bolshevism to be a democratic movement. Democracy endeavors to organize and to rule the people according to human conscience, but the Bolshevik! stamp out the prin-

lples or morality and culture. Bolshevism was a collective title used for different political and social phenomena; from the idealistic Utopia to the criminal German propaganda forces.

SWEEPING VICTORY FOR LLOYD-GEORGE

(By Associated Press) LONDON, Dec. 30. Premier Lloyd George and the Coalition government won a more sweeping victory in the general election than had been expected. Not only was H. H. Asquith, former premier, defeated, but his person-

! al following from the house of com

mons has been reduced to 37. It is believed that a new seat will be found for him by one of his followers resigning in his favor as soon as parliament meets. In the defeat of Reginald McKenna, Walter Runciman, Sir John Simon, Herbert Samuel and Thomas McKinnon Wood, the front of the opposition bench is deprived of all its principal occupants. There have been suggestions that Mr. Asquith might retire from politics as a result of his defeat, but this view is not encouraged by hrs personal friends. Should he re

tire, however, he probably would be succeeded in the Liberal leadership by Mr. McKenna or Sir John Simon. While the Labor party as a whole has strengthened its numerical following in parliament, some of its more prominent members have lost their seats. The most notable defeat was that of Arthur Henderson, the de facto leader of the "old guard" of the Labor party. The fact that James Ramsey MacDonald and Philip Snowden lost also is striking. The defeated women candidates include Miss Christabel Pankhurst, Mrs. Despard, sister of Field Marshal French; Mrs. Pethick Lawrence, Miss Violet Markham and Miss Mary MacArthur. In Ireland the success of the Sinn Fein party was sweeping, only seven members of the old Nationalist party succeeding in escaping defeat. John Dillon, chairman of the Nationalist party, lost his seat for East Mayo, to Edward de Valera.
