Washington, March 23.?The Ion
range bombardment of Paris, by
Jerman gun presumably 62 miles ol
mnminreri :is a fnot inrfnv In o
French capital, dumfounded Amer
an ordnance, officers. The 22-mil
lombardment of Dunkirk by the Ge
nans more than a year ago had s<
i record and ordnance officers of tf
American, British and French corj
reely conceded they never ha
Ireained of a monster gun with
ange of more than 3 0 miles.
Some officers frankly questione
hat shells from rifled cannon acl
lally had fallen In Paris. Other
ought explanotion in new devices o
ecret gun emplacements in the vl
inity of Paris. None wanted to be
ieve that any gun had been invent
d by the Germans or any one els
rhich could throw a 9 1-2-inch pre
ectile 00 miles.
The finding of shell fragment
earing the marks of gun rifiini
rented to preclude the idea of an;
rdinary airplane bomb. It wa
uggested that monster airplane
lounting guns might have been uset
ut no one has ever conceived th<
ossibillty of carrying a 9 1-2-incl
.eapon in the air.

Forty divisions, or about 400.000 ||
Teutonic troops are in the fipht. The j

N are emnlovintr cannot bo pstininted.il
g but unofficial reports say that there
a were 1.000 Runs on one small sector.
T, Austrian and Bulgarian troops have

Ie The attack was launched under th?
r* eyes of Fniperor William, Field Marshal
von Hindenberg and General
'v1 Ludendorfl", the three guiding spirts
,s of the German war machine. The'
d French report flghtiug in various
a sectors and especially in Champagne,
and Lorraine.
(' Hostilities are not limited to the
L" front in France, but the Italian bats
tie line is beginning to show signs of
r activity beyond the ordinary. An
