LONDON. Sept. Miss Edna

OF how Frenchmen in the town Of
Harheur. infuriated because her run
away automobile killed a six-year-old
boy. injured two French soldiers and
smashed into a cannon, tied her up
against a wall. together with her
mother. grandmother. aunt and
maid and planned to shoot them TO
death.
The timely arrival Of an English
officer. who had been summoned by
Daniel Frederick Daley Of Worcester.
Mass, who was in our party. was the
only thing that saved our lives, said
Miss Goodrich. HAD that officer
come five minutes later ] am sure We
all would have been dead.
When we found that no trains
were running cut OF Paris for Havre,
Mr. Daley whom we had met in
Paris, suggested that our party make
the trip by automobile. telling US that
il we delayed very long We might not
even be able TO get away in that
fashion.

"It was just rusk when we ap-
preached Harbour about an hours
ride from Havre. When we were de
scending a long hill that leads into
Harfeur. our brake broke and the car
began 20 gain terrific momentum.

soldiers drew back little when they
discovered that the only man then in

us, grabbed US and tied us against the
same wall where five German spies
had been shot just a short time be-

The crowd became frenZied in its
attitude toward us when IL saw the
mother Of the little boy we had killed
with the poor little mangled form in
her arms. Those among the civilians
who had guns were aiming them at
us when Daley. who had not been as
seriously injured by his fall as we had
feared. broke through the crowd with
the English officer in tow.
Daley showed our broken brake to

Murderous Rain of Lead

There can be no doubt that 1t Is the ar
tillery rather than the infantry which Is
playing the most deadly part in the
pi esent conflict says Tit-Bits The arms
which are principally employed in the
former branch OF the service are the
machine guns, which pour a terrifying
rain of lead into the opposing forces, and
the weapon which hurts the shell known
as shrapnel, probably the most destruc-
tive arm in light artillery. The injuries
of the greater portion of the wounded
have been inflicted by the bullets flung
plodes.
Shrapne receives its name from Gen.
II. Shrapnel who invented the shell dur
ing the Peninsuar war. This ingenious
artillerist conceived the idea of filling a
hollow shell with small metallic odds
and ends, and providing 1t with an ex-
plosive charge. When the latter was de-
tcnated. naturally the contents were scat
tered in all directions. The shrapnel,
however. has undergone considerable i'm
provemcnt in recent years, its deadliness
and destructiveness having been accentu-
ated to a remarkable degrees, says Navy
and Army illustrated" Its design is
somewhat varied, for while under GER
tain conditions all requirements are full
filled by the shell striking the ground
and exploding under contact, at others it
is necessary to cause the shell to explode
while in mid-air and at a predetermined
range.
The modern shrapnel shell is steel CYL
