ONE OF THREE GIANT GERMAN GUNS SILENCED Deputy Returns Prom Sector With News of Bombard ing Trio's Location FIRE NEAR JOY HILLS Other Guns Ring Out Simul taneously to Baffle Search ers in Locating By Associate J Press l*ari., April 26.—One of three Ger man long range guns which have been bombarding Paris, has been de stroyed. according to Deputy Charles J.eboucq. of the department of the Seine. The deputy said he had talked j with the general commanding the, sector near Crepy en Laonnois. where the big guns are stationed. The en nny he declared, is constructing new mplacements. "As one of the deputies of Paris."! said M. I.eboucq. "I was anxious to assure myself personally with regard j to measures taken to counterattack ! the cannon bombarding Paris. I went! to see the general commanding a cer tain sector who showed me photo graphs and gave me all the informa- 1 tion he had. "The photographs show the guns are placed exactly between Crepy En station and the counter | torts known as 'Joy Hills.' The spur, lines start from the station. On these the heavy guns are moved to the: firing platform. "The first spur has a branch lead ing to a platform which is still oc- , cupied. but the center platform is empty. Its gun has been destroyed. Two more spur lines are under con-j struction. indicating further cannon are expected." "The emplacement platform on which the gun slides explains the! regularity of the direction of the tiring which we undergo. At the mo ment of firing ten heavy guns are tired by a special apparatus to cam- j ouflage the sound of the> big gun so j its location. cannot be judged from' the sound. At the same time thick j clouds of smoke from surrounding heights protect the gun from airplane observation." Numerous squadrons *of pursuit airplanes are placed in the vicinity together with batteries of anti-air craft guns. French counter batteries have been placed so as to interfere with the action of the guns. On Tues day evening one of these guns was damaged so that at present only one is in service. All the crew of this stun were killed." Enola Carshop Scene of Over Top Meeting The vast Enola Car Shop was the scene of a wonderful demonstration at noon to-day when Foreman H. G. Huber introduced Senator Scott S. l.eiby as the principal speaker for the celebration of the railroad men going over the top with Liberty Bonds. Employes of the Enola yard, numbering 232, are in the 100 per cent, class, with $12,600.

When oite thousand huskv railroaders whooped "She's been in many a fix. since 1876, but the old i;ag never touched the ground" the Kaiser must have noticed a twitch ing in his game leg.
