Oct. 31. 7.10 A. M.—Fnofli cial announcement was made to-day that the government will return to Paris from Bordeaux on November 20 sad that. Parliament will meet on De ceniber 15 to pass emergency la.v*. Mettle i>v ilittle Paris appears to be returning to more normal conditions. The shops in the Avenue DeL'Opera. which had their doors locked and the windows whitewashed, have now been reopened. Each day another restaurant or bar on the boulevards or elsewhere resumes business and the newspapers whicih ceased to publish at the time of the mobilization have begun to appear again. The question of reopening the Bourse is also discussed. Reported Retreat of Germans From the war arena in France and Belgium the most pleasing news to Parisians to-ityy was that tiling of the retreat of the Germans across the Yser in the face of a stiff' cannonading by the allies. The announcement only a few days ago that the Germans had succeeded in crossing' to the left bank of the Yser did more to depress the spirits of the people here than any development of the war for some time. Their withdrawal now along with the progress of the allies at other C'nts, as officially announced, is taken many as marking the first stages of an impending victory. The Hot Fighting at Ypres Much interest is taken in the hot .fighting in of Ypres. where the allies have been gaining, because of the great importance of the position to the Germans. Ypres, according to German military men, is the center of the German position between Lille and the sea. They have said that they could not continue their advance march unless assured of the possession of it. If Ypres is conquered, the allies will have the route opened as far as the heights of Stomen, 22 mi'les south east of Calis, is j. statement attributed to them. However, the most important position in the line of combat between Nieuport, Dixmude and the Me se are in the hands of the allies. Praise for German Methods General Pierre Cherfils, the military critic, declares that a wounded French officer with whom he talked yesterday gave all praise to the German method of conVbat. The present war, he says, fitlso affirms the immense service avia tion can render to' the French units. The aeroplane has become an instru ment of observation, not only useful, but indispensable, according to General Cherfils.

OUR NEW FIELD GUN Its Split Trail Makes It a Wonderfully Efficient Weapon What is thought to be the biggest single improvement made in the ar tillery service in a decade is comprised in Hie new field gun recently adopted by the United States government. The carriage of this gun has a double or split trail, the word "trail" being used to designate the long beam or prop that supports the gun on the ground at the rear. The old style single trail prevented any great lowering of the Htm breech and therefore limited the angle to which the muzzle could be elevated. With the >,plit trail the breech drops iluivu between ilie halves and any cle-, vation of tho muzzl? that is necessary may be obtained. By means of a hand Wheel the gun may be swung quickly alid easily In a wide horizontal arc without shifting the trail, which is another great improvement over the old style carriage. The gunners are thoroughly shielded by steel plates only two-tenths of an inch in thickness, but of such strength and toughness that they cannot be penetrated bv a steel jacketed, needle nosed bullet fired from a service rifle at a distince of 100 Vards. Even the gunner who sights tic piece is not exposed. By a system of mirrors and prisms the telescope sigh zigzags upward and passes out through a port in the shield a foot or more aKpve the gunner's head. ; The projectile fired by this gun is three inches in diameter and about one fioot long, but contains enough explo (five and balls to wipe out a while com pany.—Popular Mechanics.
