MACHINE GUN p ssm inn mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm m.i m imb ZttyF T7, t MMMMHMMassaSMSBJSasJBSaSBBSBSHBBMSJ Machine gun mount periscope and Willse LiaAvrcnce of Portland, the inventor. The creation of a Portland man, a periscopic machine gun mount for use In the trenches, is now being given final tests by the United States gov ernment. The inventor is Willse M. Lawrence, formerly of 845 East Pine street, and his invention promises to be for land forces what the submarine has been for the sea. Lawrence, who served in the Philip pines and in the Boxer rebellion, has porfected his mount after two and a half years of experimentation. ' As Its name implies, tlie invention Is a mount for a machine gun, fitted With a periscope and devices that en able "the. gunner to operate the gun and direct his fire in comparative safe ty from below the level of the gun. Gunner Remains Concealed. In trench fire a gunner hasa com plete vision of the field, although en tirely concealed, and can fire at will without moving from his concealed position. Without material rearrangement it Is said that the mount can be used with any machine gun approved by the United States army, the Berner Mer rier, Colt, Maxim, Lewis and Little Vickers. The mount weighs 150 pounds. It -can be ad Jutted and sighted from one extreme range to another in four seconds. It can be completely disas sembled in case a retreat is sounded in Gladstone Church to Baise New Flag Congregation of First Baptist Will Take Part In Ceremony This After noon i Program Will Be Patriot!.

The operation of reloading eait be ' accomplished in 10 seconds without , the gunner exposing himself. j The mount permits the completion of the 360 degrees of a parallel circle almost instantly. For overhead, aero- ; plane defense the gun can be aimed at i a direct angle of 90 degrees and changed at will to a muzzle depression I of 45 degrees. Cuban Army Approves It. For example, a gunner on top of a roof can defend himself from street or building- fire and instantly turn the i grun by means of the mount to de fend aeroplane or. overhead fire. Mr. Lawrence's Invention has been approved by ordnance officials of the Cuban army and by the ordnance board of the Canadian government, following ! thorough tests. It wag to be taken to . England to be tried out before ordnance officials of the allied forces when the United States broke off diplomatic relations with Germany. Mr. Lawrence at once offered his mount to the United States army. Tests are now ' being carried on be fore American ordnanee officials. Mr. Lawrence left Portland last June to put his invention before the Ca nadian government.

REMARKS OF CHICAGO MAYOR MAY T HIS E Formal Compjaint Made to Federal- Official; Thomp son's Words Seditious,, MOVE FOR IMPEACHMENT Ootutcll, B em oc ratio a ad XorUle, Totes Inrltatloa to AUled Officials WlUoh the Mayor Kefused. Chicago, April 28, ( U. P.) Mayor William Hale ' Thompson's remarks about the war acts, of the national ad ministration and his references to the FTench ana English missions may cost him his job as head of the second city of the United States perhaps more. Formal complaint has been made to United States District Attorney. Clyne by three prominent citizens of Chicago that Thompson's remarks were sedi tious. What action the federal govern ment will take is not disclosed. A movement was on foot tonight in .-the Chicago city, council to impeach the mayor at the regular meeting Monday. At the recent election. Thompson was sweepingly defeated and a hostile city council elected. It is now Demo cratic. Thompson" Is a . -Republican. Council leaders -Say politics is not In volved. Council Tot Opposes XCayor. The leaders of the new council say there is no doubt of their rlffht to remove the mayor by impeachment proceedings. Thompson having refused to extend to the French and British Commissions invitations to Chicago, the city coun cil today. In special session, passed at resolution inviting both to the city. The vote was 64 to 3 the dissenting votes coming from Socialists. Mayor Thompson said he would not veto the resolution. Just prior to the vote, a telegram from Senator Lewis, at Washington, to Mayor Thompson was read. It stated that "at the instance of busi ness associations and social clubs in Chicago," Lewis had "pressed upon the state department an invitation for the British and French commissions to visit Chicago." Late todty Governor Lowden sent the following telegram to Secretary Lansing: Governor Bends Invitation. "In the name of the State of Illinois, I wish to renew formally the Invita tion personally extended in my name by Major McCormick. to the illustrious members of the French commission now in Washington to visit Illinois. The citizens of this state are eager to do honor to the representatives of France. I wish to concur heartily in the invitation issued today by the City of Chicago and to assure the commission of the most hearty wel come." Mayor Thompson was asked what he intended to do about the formal com plaint made against him. "Nothing." he replied. "Are you going to try to find out the names of the men who complained ot your remarks?" he was asked. "No, I ask them to read the explana tion. I have read It and I think it would do a lot of other people good to read it." GERMAN LINES CUT TO PIECES IN OPEN FIGHT (Continued From Page One.) Such survivors as there were dragged themselves beck.. New ranks were formed and again they returned to the attack, only to be driven back In the same way. British Hold Gains, When night fell the British ctill held the gains they had made earlier in the day. It was to the Canadians that the honor of capturing Arleux followed. They rushed the village as the en tire British line swung forward, and held it in spite of desperate efforts of the enemy to regain the shattered houses giving it an excuse for a name. BRITISH AVIATORS SWEEP SKY CLEAR OF ENEMY PLANES With the British Armies Afield, April 28. (U. P.) The might of ar tillery has blasted the British forward in their great offensive, the charge of infantry, has swept the enemy back ward today over the pivotal points of the Wotan line but more impor tant than all, the British royal flying corps has swept the skies clear. With the British artillery roaming tonight over a vast front, air ranges carefully and precisely, calculated from aeroplane observations, asked aviation officers whether America could aid in the air. Warn America to Prepare. American flyers, they were a unit in replying, will be welcomed Immedi ately. Officers and men ot all ranks expressed pleasure in anticipation of seelnc Americans fighting and observ ing with them. But the warning they all voiced is that America must begin at once to prepare. She should start training for a great air armada for 1918. It will be noted that officers here still talk In torms of a long war, notwithstanding the successes being achieved against the Germans. But while America is preparing for next year In her aerial branch, it was suggested on every hand here at the front that she send a large number of officers to Join the British and French squadrons and with them obtain ac tual, battle experience. Experience Regarded Hecessary. Without actual war experience, a flyer, no matter how expert in 1 peace times, is utterly unm to command fly ing units. One of England's cleverest squadron commanders arrived at the front today and was put with a fighting unit. There ho must serve for some weeks as an ordinary officer's pilot before he will be given a command in a fighting sauadron. He would Tit in an observa tion unit but not a fighting squadron. The best aviator in the world must learn fighting tricks and the only way to learn them is In actual battle. Mechanics and SUnrers Heeded. After Americans had undergone such training in actual warfare, they would make invaluable commanders of the air fleet which might - arrive from ' the United States. w - JOB PERHAPS M But not . only flyers but American PIONEER LANDMARK RAZED i-yx.?! i jiy I "t Tt - j ic t i r. m I v I: JH-. -MHJ Oldest' residence of east side which has just been torn down.

Moreover, it was delivered to the accompaniment of concentrated artillery drumfire that dispatches indi cated had sprayed death along almost the entire Britisn rront or rorty-oaa miles. It was a Titanic drive at the very spot where no later than Friday front dispatches had indicated a seeming deadlock between the vast forces on both aides. British Fail, Says Berlin.
