The story of tho success ot America's land battery ot l'4-ltich naval guns, as told by mev.ibers Ot the gun crews them selves, was given to the public here today when copies of the "Big I'," a newspaper printed on board tho bat tleship I'tah were circulated on shore. It was the Utah's picked gun crew, the newspaper said, that was sent ashore, to "get" the German u-pur-gun which was shelling Paris. Tho gun was removed. It waa said, before the batteries could get Into action, hut the navy men had the satisfaction of smashing away at tho German Hno for several months before the armistice was signed. The shells fired by the nsval guns, according to th'e "Big V," were al most twice the size of those fired by the Germans super-gun and were so powerful that on one occasion the exploding shell hurled two loaded freight cars from a track to the top of a railway station. '' Another shell landud In a hut where 100 Germans were watching a motion picture show, and when American troops lator reached the, spot, 40 Identification tags were all that could be found to tell the fate of tho party, ' The naval guns habitually fired at a range of 20 lo 21 miles, tho ar ticle said, and more than 800 rounds had boon fired when the armistice was vigiied. It would soon have been necessary to romove (lie guns for ro-llnlng. Describing the activities of the battery, the nrtlelo said that "In the entire battery of COO men, only three wore lost. Two succumbed to di sease and the other died of wounds from fragments of a German shell." I'ltKMil UIAMIIKH HAM MTOHMY "I'K.U'K" SESSION Paris, Dec. 30.
