TO BQ1! PUS One Killed and Two Injured In-jured ; Four Giant Guns Apparently Used. PARIS, March 31. The bombardment of Paris by lons-range German guns was resumed at 2:15 p. m. today. At the services this morning the churches were even more crowded than la usual on Easter Sunday. No unexploued shell from a gun bombarding bom-barding Paris has thus far been found. However, there have been examined in the municipal laboratory fragments of sufficient size to permit the directors to reach certain conclusions. They are of the opinion that a double fuse is used, and that the guns fire 210-millimeter (SVi-inch) shells. Apparently, four guns are being used, two on each alternate day. The tubes of the guns, which are rifle guns, are j more than sixty fctt long. The lnstalla-; lnstalla-; tton and adjustment of the suns must re-j re-j quire at least three months. Doubtless i thev are concealed under mountains of ! cement, rendering it most difficult to lo-! lo-! cate and destroy them. An official nolo issued tonight says: , "The Gorman long-range cannon continued con-tinued during the- day to bombard the Paris district. One person was killed nnri onn Inlured." 1
