OVER THE
 BATTLE OF 1870
ALSAcE BELIEVES GERMANS CAN NOT DO MORE THAN THE
 NATION DID THEN
Strong Defenses Are Built to Oppose the Terrific Big Gun Fire That the Germans Have Made Famous in Their Attacks.

Belfort, Nov. 28.-"You know said one of the old Alsacians who sought refuge ia this last little corner of Al sace that was saved to France after the war of 1870, they cant do much more than they did before, while We can do lot more."
 The news had just arrived that the Germans were forcing the fighting in UIper Alsace and the sound of can' nonadiag seemed to bring nearer tho eventuahty of a third siege of Bel fort. The town was none the less tran quil for that; most of the inhabitants shared uhe confidence of this old vet eran, who, as he talked. pointed sig nificaltly to the great Lion Of Bel fort that Bartholdi carved in the solid red sandstone on which the citadel is built.

"BABY HOWITzERS"
 THROW BIG SHELLS
UNlQUENESS OF LITTLE GERMAN GUN IS THE ADMIRATION
 OF THE BRITISH.
Throws Extraordinary Shell for the
 CaIiber of the Gun and the Damage
 the Shell Does is Extremely Heavy.

London, Nov. 2S-Krupps baby minenwurfer. it is called by the Genmans--is the latest terror the allied armies are called upon to face in the trenches; and its novelty. its comparative simplicity and it's de. structiyeless attest to the complete ness of the German fighting equip ment. The huge howitzers with which the Germans battered down the strongest Belgian forts were for a time the most talked of feature of the German artillery; but now that Colonel E. D. Swinton, the British eyewitness" with the eNpeditiolary forces has drawn the attention to this trench howitzer, the British press is describing it.
 The miqueness of the little how. itzer lies in the fact that thOuel its ralibre is less than three inches, it throws a shell whose diameter Is more than a foot weighing with it's charge of high explosive, nearly 200 pounds This is done by the simple expedient of attaching a small adapt CT" to the shell. while the shell itself rests in hhe mouth of the gun in a sort of a cup.
 The "adapter' is a metal bar. w3ich fits perfectly into the bore of the gun. Being expelled it takes with il the shell which promptly separates itself and continues its flight alone 10 fall in a trench where its eXplo- sion demolshes earthworks SO ardu- ously prepared by the Allies. To visualize now it leaves the howitzer one has but to imagine a small boy placing cherry with a pin thrust in it over the mouth of blow gun. The "Minenwurfer's" shell is the cherry: the "adapter' the pin
 The velocity of the shell is low only 230 feet per second The lowest elevation from which it is fired is 45 degrees. an angle at which the shell travels $50 yards Eighty degrees is the highest angle at which it may be fired an elevation used when trenches are only l90 yards apart

FEATHERED TRIBE
 FLEES WARFAR
iSPORTSMEN THINK IT WILL RE QUlRE MANY YEARS TO GET
 GAME BACK IN PRESERVES
Shooting of Hare or Other Game by the Soldiers was Prohibited Under the Strictest of Orders.

Paris, Nov. 26. -{Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-The feathered tribe of Belgium and Northern France has been dispersed by the din of war.
 In all the districts of the Marne it was noticed after the battle that the birds had disappeared The Argonne forests also have been nearly depopu.
 lated of all kinds of game by the con tinual turmoil in those regions. Driy- en to detached woods and thickets where their dangers would have been increased in time of peace, they now find security
 Apart from their enforced exile, birds are not the least fortunate of beings ill these times, game shooting being prohibited in France.
 The markets furnished evidence that some poaching was going on, however, and the minister of war is- sued warning that the sale of no oth- CT than imported refrigerator game would be tolerated. Early in the war soldiers supplemented their rations by taking a hare or a pheasant here and there, but this was stopped by order. Scarcity of game in the market is no hardship for it is a small part of the alimentation of Paris. The arriv. als amount annually to only 1 1,000 tons of native and 450 tons of imported
 game, while the arrivals of domestic poultry alone, aggregate 2l,000 tons. Belgium sends 5O,000 larks to Paris each season, while the game importa- fions from countries are: Austria, g. 500, deer, SO,O00 cartridges, 50O0O
 hares; Italy, 25,00O quail; Australia, f1OOOOO rabbits, 20,O0) mares and 5O,-
 900 larks; England, 10000 pheasants
 and 30,000 cartridges.
 An effort is being made to substi-
 ute the Russian reindeer for Austrian deer.
 No doubt considerable game that
 did not get away from the continually beaten war zone has been destroyed,
 and the sportsmen who have shooting | preserves in these parts of the coun- l try are pessimistic as to the future,
 they think it will require several years
 to repopulate those regions. On the
 other hand, the prohibition of one seasons shooting in the territory not
 affected by hostilities, it is thought,
 will result in immense benefit to game l in general, and that next year and
 for many years to come all kinds of game will be more plentiful than ever l before.
