Miller, professor of mechanism and drawing, has prepared a book fwhich lie will publish soon under the Sjtitle of "Shellifire." Thesecrets of the construction and Soperationof the guns have never be- fore been disclosed in their entirety, and in Germany even now it is held treasonable to speak of the guns. Only last September two men who appeared at the American embassy with secrets for sale about the tin- ternal ballistics of high pressure guns were tried for treason on the ground that they were attempting to dispose of the secrets of the guns used to shell Paris from, a distance of 75 miles. Col. Miller has gathered his informa- tion for the book from documents in his possession, the nature and source of which can never be revealed for diplomatic reasons, from conversa- tions which he held with those in a position tio know about the guns, and from the two very indefinite stories written by Germans after the war about the guns. A German ship commander, who was ballistic commander of the field forces in charge of the guns has pub- lished a short account of the guns in a book !of war stories by sea captains, and Colonel Bauer, for a time chief of staff under Ludendorff, has written another account: which is very non- committal as to details. Col. Miller during the Great War was chief engineer o: heavy artillery for the American expeditionary forces, and was present in Paris on March 23 when the first shells struck. TheE "Bi,4 Berthas," as they were called, were brought to his attention imned- iately and he began his investigation which has culminated in this book which he has written for the lay read- er although it is accurate history and technical in detail. The author hopes to have it pub-1 lished simultaneously in English, French, and German. In Germany it wlbethe first ti~me that th eo e have been told the whole store.

The process will be an easy one in the house, where the Republicans hold a substantial majority, but in the sen- ate they can accomplish it only with Democratic votes. The organization of either house or senate carries with it committee chairmanships, the nam - ing of parliamentary officials, consid- erable patronage and a larger repre- sentation on committees. It also in- cludes responsibility for legislation. Assisted By Deins.
