sHARPsHooTING EFFECTIVE
In Picking OF Large Numbers of OPP
posing Armies.

Dnnkirk. France. Feb 3.--The actiyi-
ties of the highly efficient German sharp
shooters have been responsible for a
large proportion Of the casualties in ths
French and British armies during the
past two months. Lieutenant II. g.
Nouzire of the French army writes OF
these sharpshooters;
During the past three weeks | have
lost more men by the sniper than ] did
in three stiff engagements. Our p0si-
tion is not unlike a golf links-half a
mile from the clubhouse we are bunkered
and nicely under cover, but Immediately
one OF MS shows a head bullet whizzes
past. In one day ten were hit and for
the life of us we could not locate the
place where their snipers were concealed
At last we found IL 400 yards in front
of us in the open were several prominent
tufts OF grass one Of my men fired into
one Of these tufts and a sniper fell into
view mortally wounded. A hundred
wards to the right was another tuft
which we demolished with a fusillade Of
shots. When IL was dark we found
there two dead Germans. who were
warmly clad and wrapped in rugs.
I'VE decided to initiate the tactics Of
the Germans. Two Of our men yolun-
teered to become water rats, just a. the
Germans had become field mice. Under
cover OF darkness they wormed them
selves into the bank at the water edge Of
a stagnant pond and the next day they
picked off many Germans before they
we're discovered"

pal, died suddenly at $3.50 this morning
shortly after going to the schoolhouse
10 begin the days teaching. She entered
the building with Miss Clara Bliss,
who had been teacher in the
same school over 80 years, and they sep
arated and went to their respective
rooms.
Shortly afterwards, w. r. Turner, the
veteran janitor OF the school, Re also
having served there more than 30 years,
heard noise as of something falling in
Miss Story's room. He thought no more
about il until he entered Miss Story's
room. He saw her wraps there and
thinking that she had gone out he start
ed to leave when be saw the woman lay
ing in an aisle. He saw that she was
unconscious and at once notified the 9th
er teachers in the bnilding. They in turn
summoned Miss Story's physician, DR..
Alan Davidson. and DIR. ]. G. Iheriault.

the woman had died instantly. She had
been in ratherspoor health for some time
but seemed as well this morning as she
had been recently.
The pupils had not arrived at the
school in any considerable number and
thev were not allowed to enter the room.
