From the standpoint of spectacular sensationalism Germany gave the world the biggest surprise of an amazing war when, on March 23, 1918, shells began to fall in Paris. Bombs from a fugitively visitant aeroplane were to be expected; but shells from a gun how could that be possible when the German lines were, at their nearest approach, at least 70 miles from the French capital? The world was at first incredulous, but as the shells continued to fall in the city and its suburbs incredul ity gave way to stunned belief. Ten people were killed and 15 wounded the first day. A week later, Good Friday, March 29, the long range bombardment resulted in a tragedy which shocked civilization. It could scarcely have been by design, and yet the coincidence of the day and the objective is extraordinarily sig nificant for mere chance. Kill 75 in Church. On this day of sacred fast, the holiest memorial of the Christian year, while a congregation of de vout worshipers women and chil dren, and men too old to fight prayed in the Church of St. Gcr vaise, a shelt crashed through the roof of the building, killing 75 per sons, of whom 54 were women, and five of these Americans. Ninety other persons were Injured. In all Christian lands people were aghast at this slaughter of the de fenseless. ' The" thing that stirred men's in dignation was that this phenomenal gun was apparently of no practical value for military purposes. Its use lay wholly in terrorizing the ci vilian population of Paris by slaying the helpless. It was an attempt to weaken the heart of France, to break- her spirit and resolution. It was hoped, doubtless, that when Concord Club Gets 300 More Members For Samson; Total 614 As an incentive to competing clubs that are striving for Ak-Sar-Ben memberships, the Concord club an nounced yesterday an increase of 300 members for Samson, making a total of 614 to its credit. Harry Izard, captain of the Bull frog group of hustlers, was high man in obtaining members for Ak-Sar-Ben. James H. Corey, captain of the Tadpole group, boasts of second place, with the following remark at the Concord noonday luncheon yes terday: "Never mind, fellows, the tadpoles will be frogs bye and bye." The Concord, Kiwanis, Rotary, Lion and Ad-Sell clubs have sur prises in store for Omaha business men next week, according to Charles Gardner, secretary of Ak-Sar-Ben. To date, membership in Ak-Sar-Ben totals 1,850. - Self-Government Started By Commerce Students Self-government in study hall is being instituted in the High School of Commetce among upper classmen and students will inflict punishments' upon their mischievous classmates beginning next week. Ihe tjudiIs of each study hour have elected two representatives from each table of about SO .students These representatives compose i council which has . drawn up a con stitution approved by the student body. A chairman also was elected as executive head of the council. Kiwanians Will Celebrate 'Ladies' Night' With Banquet Members of the Kiwanis club will celebrate "Ladies' Night" at the Rome hotel tonight with a banque and special program of speaking, music and dancing.

For five months 'Paris endured the horror of this menace. No one knew when the shells would fall, or where, but the city went about its business and kept its courage. Nemesis Prom America. Meantime, over here in America the Nemesis of the great German cannon was in preparation? The United States navy was at that very time building long range guns, with this difference of purpose and viewpoint from the enemy; that our objective was a weapon which would be effective from a military standpoint; which could accomplish definite destruction within the com batant lines of the foe. The German gun was a freak. It may be questioned whether it has significant value for future warfare. It was interesting as a demonstra tion of what can be done in hurling projectiles through space; it was ter rible as a further evidence of the heartless cruelty of, Teutonic mili tarism; but whether it contributed anything of greater usefulness to the practical science. of artillery than Jules Verne's story of the gun which dropped a projectile on the "moon is opcV to debate. The development of guns and shells for use in the event of pos sible future wars which, pray God, the world will be spared is more likely to follow along the lines on which" American experiment and achievement have moved. Threw 1,400-Pound Shells. The new United States navy guns were being built on plans which would make them the biggest ever placed on railway or other mo bile mounts and far more powerful than any artillery then in use for military purposes on the western front. Although their range was con siderably less than that of the Ger man monster, they were made to fire a shell very much bigger and more destructive. The German gun threw a nine-inch shell, weighing about 200 pounds. The American guns were built to throw a 14-fnch shell, weighing 1,400 pounds and, when they got into action, they did. The first mount, complete with its huge 14-inch naval gun, rolled out of the shops on April 25, 1918, less than a month from the time of the Good Friday slaughter in the French church. Tested at Sandy ;. Hook. N. J., five days later, it proved a complete success.. It hurled its im mense projectiles more than 25. miles. If our guns had been . built in Paris we could have had them at the front in three days. They were made to move by rail, and to be ready for almost immediate action. But they had to get to France first, and the difficulties of fighting a war 3,000 miles away were im pressed upon us by this necessity for transporting them. No Ship Big Enough.

Product of Nemesis of Says Daniels one of them set up. Each had ,to be taken to pieces before loading. The last of the mounts was com pleted May 25 a new record for quick construction. But getting a ship to take them over was no easy task. The first ship assigned wa so badly battered up it had 'to go into dock for re pairs; the second ship the Texel was sunk by a U-boat near our coast. It was June 29 before the Newport News, heavily laden with material, sailed for France. The guns were , received in France with amazement. There was some fear expressed lest the attempt to transport them to the front by rail might result in their crippling transportation, because of their tremendous weight. But the fear was needless. News of their coming, doubtless, leached the Germans. The proof of that is found in the extraordinary thing that happened next. Stop Shelling of Paris. The German mastodon of guns had been registering on Paris with fair regularity. By a series of nice calculations and daring observations its position had been located in the forest of St. Gobain, on a plateau north of the Aisne. South of the Aisne was the forest of Compiegne, and to this place of concealment the American guns were headed. With their 25-mile range they would be able to search out the cover of the German masterpiece. . They were barely under way be fore fhe shelling of Paris ceased, and when battery No. 2 reached its posi tion in the forest of Compiegne about August 21 it was greeted with the news that the day before the Ger mans had hastily withdrawn their pet. From that day until the armis tice no more shells fell in Paris. The Germans knew that the giant freak could not stand up under the fire of the 14-inch, 1,400-pound shcils which the United States navy guns were preparing to drop in its neigh borhood, and displayed that discre tion which has been named the bet ter part of valor. Tribute to American Genius. The story of the work accom plished by the United States naval batteries in the latter weeks of the war, in the days which were crucial and held victory or defeat in their hours of anxiety, is a story that would bear detailed telling. Follow ing operations with the French and American armies from Soissons to Verdun shelling bases, ammunition depots and railway yards they wrought destruction far behind the German lines, cutting communica tions and disrupting their transpor tation system, playing a conspicuous part in the taking of Laon and Terg nier in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, in shelling Montmcdy and Longuyon and in cutting the German main ar tery between Metz and Sedan. They remained in action to the end, their last shot falling into the German lines at almost the very moment when the armistice ended hostilities. Their record was a triumph of Amer ican genius and naval efficiency. (Another , article- by Former Secretary Daniel will be printed tomorrow.) POLITIC AT, ADVF.RTISEM E'T.

He and the woman were cap tured just after the robbery. "She hadn't a thing to do with it," declared Russell yesterday. "I called her up and told her to meet me there at Seventeenth and Douglas streets, that I had a present for her." "How does it come the stolen furs were in her suitcase?" asked Deputy I County Attorney Henry Bcal. "Well, I borrowed the suitcase from her several days before I held up the store." said Russell.
