PARIS, Nov. 9.-(By Mail to New
YorD.-The 2l9th Reserve Infantry
Regiment has made a reputation for
pulling of queer stunts. One of its
heroes, a sergeant who has been
killed, won for himself the name OF
the hunter OF fed glasses" on ac-
count of the marked attention ne
paid 10 German officers carrying
field glasses. Risking his life dozens
of times in foolhardy adventures, the
sergeant managed to equip nearly
every man in his company with Ger
man glasses. Just before his last
exploit he was asked TO describe his
plan OF campaign and he replied very
simply; 1--WE just wriggle on hands
and knees as near the Bosch as pos
sible. then we pick up a stone and
throw II In the opposite direction so
as to make him turn his head. Then
we jump on him. That's ALL" He
met his death in just such an ex-
plot, and died with a smile on his
lips.

private IN the 2l9th, prepared the
crayfsh for the colonel, who divided
II into small pieces so that as many
Of his men as possible could share
the dainty with the officers. The
eating OF the oysters was disturbed
twice by the enemy's batteries, and
when all was finished the colonel
turned TO his guests and said.

At a special meeting of the Dia-

to postpone the proposed poultry
show which was to have been held in
Turn Hall next week This action
was taken following the reading Of a
letter from the State Lick Stock Sani-

show be cancelled at this time owing
to the outbreak of the foot and mouth
disease in cattle. II was said that no
poultry could be shipped from the

The Poultry Association has not yet
decided when the show will be held,

LONDON. Sept. 26.

LONDON, Sept. 26.
London is nervous over the constantly
increasing raids OF the German Zeppelin
balloons, and there is a feeling of appre-
hension that a flight may be made over
this city
The precautions taken by the Govern
mcnt. such as the ceaseless swing of
darkenng of the streets and the patrols
Of aeropanes by day have not tended
to decrease the fears of the people.
News of recent flight of German bal
looms over Ostend. Boulogne and Jut-
land make plain the possibility of Ger
man balloon reconnaissance over London
The fear is not that the Germans will
drop bombs upon the city, as they did at
Antwerp; the feeling Of panic, which
would probably follow the appearance of
a Zeppelin here would arise from the
heightened possibilities of danger from
the air.
German balloon raids are becoming the
bugabUO Of big part of the people,
especially since the morning papers told
Of a German acronaut dropping bombs
upon the shipbuilding yard at Boulogne.
1t is easy to equip a Zeppelin with
sufficient fuel and other supplies for p
voyage of from 800 to 700 miles and the
distance from the German strongholds
IN Belgium and France 10 London and
return is less than that. The Admiralty
protect the coast and the warships lying
in the North Sea and English Channel.
ALL LIGHTS OUT AT NIGHT.
At night all unnecessary lights on both
sea an dland are eXtmguished. The sky
is combed with scarcnlIghts at intervals
and aeroplanos are held ready day and
night for flight aloft to give battle
t. an invading airship.
If an airship raid over English soil
should hc attempted by the Germans,
the balloons probably would be conveyed
hy acropIanes to give battle to the Eng
l~h planes. a German aviator dropped
bombs upon the race course at Amicns
on Thursday night, evidently mistakinp
the course for a British or French mill
tary aerodrome.
Tho Zeppelin observed over Jutland
was seen ny persons in Thuno, who said
il was travelling in southcasterly di-
geetion and at an enormous altitude.
