 SHOWS HOW THEY CONDUCTED INVASION
Aeopans Open the Attack By Dropping Bombs Which Kill or Wound Many Citizens and Then Artillery Fire Is Directed
 on Buildings But Defenders Have Their Revenge Days Later When Three Regime ntS Are Engaged and Destroyed

PONT-A-MOUSSON, Nov. 1O.- Astride the last 3inch niu o. a col umn of artillery flanked on either side by a Bavarian soldier with fixed bayonet, Monsieur Bertrand, a round shouldered, white-haired veteran of the war of 1870. and deputy may of Pont-a-Mousson was carried from the city as chief hostage of Germans in the procession which marked the end of the occupation by three Bavari regiments
 Pont-a-Mousson is a quiet town of twelve thousand inhabitants, the pos session of which was valuable to the Germans only because ol it's bridge which furnishes convenient cross ing of the Moselle on the road from Metz to Toul It was attacked early in the war, partly for this reason and partly as the result of the defective vision of captive balloon observers, who mistook for Notifications the an tique ruins of a castle at the village of Mousson on a hill to the east of the bridge

 The captive balloon was seen again to rise in the distance and soon after the German heavy artillery began tG play on the dilapidated antique cas- tls on the hir During thirty-six hours they showered great proiectiles on that spot, literally pulverizing what remained of the walls, occasion. ally diverting a shell to the town after which they crossed the Moselle on improyised bridge and rushed up to the assault of the supposed fort ress, which they found as quiet as the grave No French soldiers had ever occupied it, and what the Ger mans took for guns from their cap tive balloon were simply cleverly dis posed tree trunks and the fire which replied occasionally to their guns to complete the illusion came from be. hind the hill

A moujik, a Russian peasant, once PAID
a visit 10 the city. While admirtng the
Kremlin he noticed a lot OF crows tlying
about it's gilded towers and turrets. The
crows were so many he began to count
them.
A swlndler saw that the mouJik looked
easy and seized him by the arm.
Young man, what are you doing he
Nothing, sir" said the mouiik; nothing
but counting the crows .
What! Counting the cars crows!
That will cost you ten years in Siberia
Come along with me-
But the moujik. holding back, Whls-
pered that he had a pocketful OF money
and would be glad to buy his freedom
from the supposed official.
"Humphl How many crows have you
counted?" the latter asked, relaxing his
severity a little.

"Humph That's 10 kopecks apiece

So the moujik paid the two roubles-
about a dollar-to the swindler, and went
back home TO his village rejoicing. Back
there he would often declare, In recount
ing his adventure:

easily swindle country folk. Well IL
the other way about. Take my case.

BISHOP HITS THE LINE HARD
Methodist Divine Calls EuEenics ga
Tragic BIundering with
sacred Things"

Scoring the scheme of eugenics as a
tragic blunder. and declaring that it
engenders a moral mendicancy. Bishop
Warren A. Gambler Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South, and one OF the lead
ing writers. and preachers OF Dixie. In
his Sunday sermon at Atlanta, assailed
the theory.
"A long process OF reformers (so-ealled)
have sought to bring to pass all sorts
OF machine-made 'millenniums'," he de-
clared, III they deal with the social evil
they proceed on the notion that purity
is only possible to those who are above
want or have good wages. They are
never deeply concerned 10 work on the
souls Of men and women, but they are
absorbed in trying 10 improve surround
inss; they have more faith in the power
OF environment than in the strength Of
conscience. They have done much to
lead multitudes OF men ana women to
wait for something TO be done for them,
rather than by them. before undertaking
to live virtuously. To distribute material
goods in such a way as 10 create
mendieancy is bad enough. but il u in
finitely worse TO engendeF a moral
mendicancy which waits 20 get something
before trying TO be something.
Now, our reformers, who have been
giving such attention 70 environment for
many years, and who have failed, turn
TO a vain attempt to regulate heredity.
Hence this huge scheme of eugenics,
which is indeed, tragic blundering with
sacred things. Already II has yielded a
oOrTupting bulk Of sslacious talk about
sex hygiene and sex instruction in the
public schools. The whole disgustins
movement rests on the assumption Of
mans sameness with the brutes. u
leaves entirely out Of the account mAn'i
freedom OF will, which divine chsrae
teristic lifts him infinitely above any
and all brutes-
