Result OF Heavy Can
nOnading.

OSTEND. Aug. 29.-The Germans
took the Namur forts by using 1920
siege guns, most Of eight-inch dame
ter, but including a few Of 11-inch
diameter. The latter were so heavy
that il required 40 horses 20 lay each
gun. They throw a small shell IL
miles.
The Germans did their best work at
5000 yards range. from which dis
lance most OF their shells hit the
mark The cannonading was kept up
for rs hours uninterrupted night and
day.
one wounded survivor who was
brought here said ne had never seen
shells Of such size and power. All the
gunners within the forts were stone
deaf and some were entirely out OF
their heads before the French regi-
ment sent to relieve them was ordered
20 retreat and reiOin the main army.
Then they marched gallantly out with
what was left of the garrison, the
band playing the Marseillaise.

CHARGE OF BEING SPY
Author i Held for Some Time Before
He Establishes His
Identity.

LONDON. Aug. 29.-Rudyard Kip
ling. who lives near Brighton, on the
south coast. was recently arrested as
a suspicious person while taking one
OF his regular constitutionals along
the sea front.
He entered into the FUN" of the
thing. In fact he was delighted at
being mistaken for possible German
spy. inasmuch as IL proved to him In
a convincing manner that a v.gilant
watch was being kept.
Kipling was detained for some
time during which he was searched
hut eventually his identity was estab-
lished and he was set free with apollo
gies.
Cyril Chesterton. brother OF the
more famous q. X. also had a similar
experience recently.

reactionary leaders have no consider
alton for anyone but themselves and
are bound to manipulate the situation
as best serves their purpose.
Notwithstanding the fact that Gov.
Ferris has positively announced his
neutrality as to the contest for CEN
trail state committee man, these anti
progressiyes are maliciously misquot-|
ing the governor as being favorable
to continuation of the present dis
credited combination that has brought
humiliation and defeat to the Demo-
cratic party, which Is 30 strongly IL
lustrated In the First district, which
is made up Of the city OF Detroit,
where Boss Connolly has full control
and where the Democrats used to be-
strongly entrenched. but where now
the present situation Is Just reversed
Under the present Connolly dicta-
torship, the Democrats haven't one
city official, one county ONCE. one
member OF the state legislature. and
but one member Of the state senate.
II Boss Connolly's methods are TO be
put In practice over the whole state,
Democracy will be as helpless as II
now Is In Detroit and Wayne county.
But the sentiment throughout the
state Is against Connolly and his
allies and favorable to pure, clean
and honorable measures and men.

state Democrats are going to the state
convention prepared to make. : them

a.x.r,.c Distances,

In the Bavarian highlands signposts
along the roads. instead Of stating the
number of miles or kilometers to the
various villages, give the amount Of
time which the average pedestrian will
supposedly take to traverse the dis
tance. This is merely an onicial ex-
preston of the very general custom Of
the peasants in the region. who invari-
ably tell inquirers on the roads not
how far 1t Is to a place, but how long
1t takes to get there.
For instance. one asks, "How far Is
1t to Oberammergauf"
"a small half hour" will be the an
swer. or perhaps "A good half hour"
or "a big half hour"
Which is puzzling until the stranger
learns that "small half hour" means
twenty-five minutes. "a good half hour"
thirty minutes and "a big half hour"
thirty-five minutes.

In his young days the poet Coleridge
had little love affair which ended In
disaster. for the lady refused him. In
despair he enlisted In a cavalry regI-
ment, which he hoped would be or
dered ON foreign service, that he might
end his blighted career on the tented
field. For family reasons he dropped
his correct name, but from feeling Of
sentiment retained the initials, so Sam
uel Taylor Coleridge became Private
Sins Tompkins Camberhatch.
The regiment did not leave the coun-
try, and 1t was not long before his soul
wearied of barrack life and its utter
absence Of romance His military life
ended In a curious fashion. One day
while CoIerIdge was doing weary
sentry go two officers strolled past.
One Of them made use Of Greek quo
tation. which the other corrected. The
first insisted ON his correctness, while
the other was Just as positive he was

While they disputed, the sentry sud

informed them that they were both in
error. He gave the exact quotation.
