Title
Military Intelligence - Maps and Charts - Range of the great gun which is shelling Paris, France
Description
  • Scope and content: Original Caption: Range of the great gun which is shelling Paris, France. The interesting map that is reproduced here shows the country that is traversed by shells from the big German gun, in the forest of St. Gobain, in its daily bombardment of that city (Paris). It is shown by the map that the actual distance is 116 kilometers, or 71.92 miles. It will be observed that the flight is in a southwesterly direction and that the range will require an elevation that will take the projectile eighteen or more miles at the crest of its projectory. American and Allied ordnance experts have n ot determined the exact character of this gun, and there appears many interesting speculations as to its plans and construction. The Paris reports say that the shell is 9.5 inches in dimater, and that it costs about $7000 to fire each shot. One shot from this gun killed five American women who were worshipping in a Paris church on Good Friday. This big gun yesterday resumed its bombardment of Paris.
