ding.
Number % is ditch which is to
be built south of Williams and will
be forty miles in length, will cost ap-
proximately $4,000 and will benefit
about $4,000 acres. Much of the
territory which is to be benefited by
the drain is already we'll populated
and the settlers have small clearings,
but must have better drainage before
they will be enabled to properly farm
their land.

west of Baudette, in the Baudette
River country, in which there is much
fine soil. This ditch will be sixteen
miles in length, will cost about $31,-

acres.
The other ditch is No. 28, and will
be located northwest of Baudette, op-
ening up large territory of good ag-
ricultural land in the townships of
Baudette, Wheeler and Wabanica.
This ditch will cost about $4,000
and will benefit $4,000 acres. 1t will
be 80 miles long

AER0PLANES OF GERMAN ARMY ~ :
LONG EXPECTED RAID UPON ENGLAND
And king GEORGES PALACE SHELLED

London, Jan. 20.-German aircraft
made their long threatened raid on
England last night and attempted to
blow up with bombs the kings royal
residence at Sandringham, county of
Norfolk
King George and Queen Mary, who
had been staying at Sandringham
with their family, only yesterday re-
turned to London to resume their
lace.
At first it was not known whether
the raiders were zeppelins or aero
planes, but the latter are now be-
lieved to have been responsible, al
though some claim to have seen the
zeppelins.
The government as yet has nothing
to say, although it is certain that a
complete investigation will be had
Eight Are Dead.
According to the best information
obtainable, eight, and possibly nine,
are dead as the result of the attack
The property damage at Yarmouth
will total about $15O,OOO.
Night Aided Raiders.
The night was quite calm but very
dark and cloudy, which made it i'm
possible for the people in the towns
over which they passed to distinguish
the outlines of the raiders, though
the whirl Of their propellors and the
roaring of their plotors could be heard
distinctly.
Yarmouth First.
The first place visited was the sea-
side resort and fishing town of Var
mouth, at eight-thirty, dropping sew
eral bombs Considerable damage
was done and four are reported kill
ed. One man was found inside his
home with his head crushed in. An
unindentifed woman is also dead, and
a soldier wounded. One of the bombs
fell there in Norfolk square, near the
sea front and another on the south
quay Others fell on buildings.
Great excitement prevailed among
the people. Electric supply was i'm
mediately cut off and the town plung-
ed in darkness, adding to the general
CONSERVATION and terror.
Apparently the raiders, after visit
ing Yarmouth, flew over Cromer,
where they dropped bombs, then went
to Sheringham and Beeston. Turn
ing inland from there, they made for
Sandringham, dropping explosives
there, also at Kings Inn, where boy
was killed and man, woman and
child injured.
Two houses were destroyed. The
damage at Sandringham is not re-
ported 1t is known that the royal
palace was not harmed.

SIEGE OF VERDUN
NOW IMPOSSIBLE.
Mason Tells How German Guns Have
Caused Desertion Of Steel and
Concrete Forts.
NOT TO FOLLOW MAUBEUGE FATE
Forti6cations Prove Useless When A.
Centimeter Monsters Are Used
-Entrenched in Ground.
(By ]. w. T. Mason)

New York, jan 2O.-German re-
ports that the great French entrench-
ed camp at Verdun had been encir-
cled, are without substantiation. The
Paris government ridieules the state
ment. Probably the Berlin dispatch
es mean that a thin securing line has
succeeded in getting around the
French position and not that an in
vesting force has settled down to a
formal siege of the flank fortification
Of the Meuse defenses. ~
Indeed the siege of Verdun has be-
come an ,impossibility. Since the
German 42-centimeter demonstrated
their superiority over all modern for
titled places the defensive strategy at
Verdun has been radically altered.
The elaborately constructed forts Of
steel and concrete are not protecting
the eastern gateway of France. Ex-
tending for miles beyond the forests
are artillery and infantry positions
dug into the earth and concealed in
wooded lanes

Not Anticipated.

These defenses in no way antici-
pated when the war began, have been
prepared since the 42-centimeters
provd the futility of Notifications.
The mobile and not immobile forti-
fications are protecting Verdun. Prob
nuded of their guns, which have been
moved forward to the battle front
for operations in the open.
These entertainments thus explain
how the fate of Maubeuge has not
overtaken Verdun
