Refused to Let American
Flag Be Raised.

NEW HAVEN. July 10.-Several
young men OF Woodmount. a fashion
able summer resort near here, took
exception to what they considered
Prof r. G. Wieland's lack of patriot
ism at flag raising by hanging the
professor in effigy and otherwise
demonstrating their difference of opin-
ion with the Yale man.
When they started to raise the flag
Professor Wieland presented himself
before the group and announced that
for him patriotism did not consist in
displays of the national emblem and
useless prating about the glories OF
American independence. Moreover,
he added, he was opposed to having
a flag raising in front of his hoa3e.
The professors remarks angered
his hearers who withdrew. The band
marched down to the shore and plant
ed their flag there. at the same time
hanging up the efigy.
These people are absolutely crazy"
said the professor. "a lot of riff ran

Germany. believe, with Professor
Henderson. that Germany's side in

Description Of Deadly Piece ct Artll.
Ierv Used by kaiser's Troops That

In Allied Trenches.

Paris.-In reports on the warfare in
the trenches of Flanders reference
often is made to a certain supposedly
new instrument of destruction which
the Germans are using. Lacking an
equivalent translation in their own
language. the French and Belgians
have come to call the weapon by its
German name, "Minenwerfer." Many
descriptions of this more or less mys-
terious piece of artillery, which has
played considerable havoc in the al
lied trenches, have appeared in the
newspapers, but they have all diff.
fered in some essential details.
A contributor to LIE Figaro, Paris.
who was in Havre about the middle
of January, saw one Of these "Minen.
werfers" there in the yard of the
building where the Belgian ministry of
war has its quarters. The bomb
thrower," as the weapon might appro.
priately be called in English, had
been found in a trench formerly oc.
cupied by German troops.
The writer in the Figaro describes
the weapon as "a hideous little can.
non with an ugly look about IT," II
is about IS centimeters long and has
q caliber of ITO centimeters. Its bar.

The gun is mounted on a carriage
of steel plates resting on wheels, and
the unwieldy little thing weighs about
five hundred Kilograms without the
wheels. The projectile is inserted at
the muzzle and is discharged by
means of an ignition cap in the
breech. When the aiming device is
removed the gun does not look more
formidable than one of the old bronze
mortars at the Invalides. the writer
says.

than 500 meters. To be exact. it does
