GERMAN AUTHORITY DESCRIBES BIG GUN of ce in General von Rohne Says Projectile Attains Height of Mure Than Kighteen Miles. G Geneva. April 1.?Lieutenant General von Rohne, a German authority o on ordnance and inspector of artillery. pives in a magazine of which he is editor additional details in ro more than this number out. but the l'1 figures are believed to be approxl- se mately correct. Work at the Hampton Roads naval ni base, at the army depot fit Rush's Bluff, and the ordnance depot at or PIr's Point, ih almost at a standstill. Carpenters employed by contractors 8P in construction work at the navv yard have also quit. tyinp up this P' work. The aviation field at Ilamp ?" ton is also involved. mi Estimates place the number ou' w< [it the naval base, where the trouble orlplnated, at 3,000. All union car- "r penters failed to report, and a numhar nf *-? * r? r?\ ^' "*u *? * ..? ... .uv.iiucis ui uim-r iraoes refused to go to work when they were informed that the walkout was on. as threatened. The groat majority jf these were plumbers, sheet metal Aj workers, pipe coverers, engineers ')PI and shovel men. At Hush's Hlufi '!>< f.OO carpenters quit work and were un followed by members of other craft 'OI Including plumbers, sheet metal wa workers and electricians. Reports r?n ihow that all carpenters and some H" Df the other union workers are out fit Pig's Point. At Langley field, it flri Is said five hundred, principally carpenters, walked out. sin A significant action of the day war Ihe announcement of Chairman Hur r?' roughs, of the Norfolk county draft roi board, that his board would immedi- avr gard to the long distance guns with which Paris is being bombarded. He says they are 20 metres (65 1-2 feet) long. The empty shells weigh 150 ?* kilograms (33 0 pounds.) The charge ,n weighs the same. The projectile at- fr tains a height of 30 kilometres (18.6 miles) and descends from the m sky like a meteor to its target. General von Rohne says it requires 10 about three minutes for the shell to reach its destruction. The greatest difficulty in the way of increasing tt the range was overcome by sending "i the projectile high enough to reach w the rarified air. ?ii It appears the Germans are ex- li? tremely proud of the bombardment te of Paris. * 5,000 WORKMEN AT NAVY !n le YARD HAVE WALKED OUT in ac Strike in Vicinity of Norfolk Admittedly Spreading to Other Trade*. th Work Almost at Standstill. w] vL Norfolk, Va., April 4.?With the ?f strike admittedly spreading to other th trades, it is estimated that fully 03 5,000 inen, principally union earpen- 'a ters, have quit government work at w the various government bases and 8U the navy yard.

Some of the visions, it is declared, had to be re-IS wed at the end of the first day af-; ii r losing more than half their men. ' Ii The dispatch follows: ja "After an 11 days' offensive, dur-1 g g which the Germans have reck- N ssly pushed forward their attack-'si g waves, one may gather a fairly h curate estimate of their losses. IT "In the first place, it has beenjC issible to idenitfy nearly 100 ofie eir divisions since the beginning n the offensive, more than 10 of si hich were twice engaged. Some di- t! sions had to be relieved at the end .a the first day, having lost more J an half of their men; such was the j ,se of the 45th and the 88th. The1 tier has been m-arly entirely! iped out. Among those that have' ffered the most are the 5th, 12th,| th and 107th divisions, as well as I e 2nd (Prussian guard), the ifith ! e 21st anil 26th divisions of re- j rves. "In the second place, an enormous imber of corpses were found on e battle ground and the prisoners i b< iog questioned acknowledge) e extent of the losses of their reective units. "To conceal from the German peoe the heavy sacrifices that their) 'ensive methods required, the Ge-nns are sending most of their Minded to Belgium.
