iNTRuDERS HELPED THEM
SELVES TO TWENTY-FIVE PEN
MES AND A FEW PACKAGES OF
TOBACCO AND CIGARETTES.

Seyenty-five pennies, a number OF
SACKS Of tobacco and some cigarettes
were stolen from the H. g. II. Market
on East Wright street. early Sunday
morning. 1t was after midnight OF
Saturday, it is believed, that the burg
lars, who are thought to be nothing
but boys, gained entrance to the
Wright street business house and evil
IDENTIFY hunted for money.
The coppers were found in the cash
drawer, and whether the thieves knew
their denomination or not, Is ques-
ton. No lights are thought to have
been used In the store, and the police
figure that whoever went to all the
trouble OF forcing an entrance and do
ing all that work for rs cents. have
good reason to believe that the risk
was at least or-paying one.
Entrance was gained through the
rear OF the building, and the police
department was early yesterday noti-
fled Of the robbery.

Entrenched Camp

Paris, Jan. 3.-The army of ex-
cavators who, early in September, be-

siege was threatened, have completed
their work.
The general confederation of work

refugees hunted from their own land
have also assisted In the work
The city now lies in the center of an
entrenched camp whose diameter is
about so miles and whose circumfer-
ence Is nearly 200 miles. This Is sur
rounded by row after row of trenches
thoroughly covered In with logs and
turf through which loopholes have
been left for rifle fire All Of them
communicate with each other and con-
tain traverse banks OF earth to prevent
them being enfiladed by infantry or
machine gun fire. Out beyond them
are rifle pits and barbed wire entan-
clements placed in all positions where
an attack might originate.
Still other precautions have been
taken In front OF the advanced line of
whose existence Is hidden by a light
covering of branches and turf. making
them invisible to approaching cavalry,
infantry or artillery, and forming YER
liable traps into when an attacking
corce might fall prey to the defend
ers' marching guns and rifles.
The approaches to the trenches from
the rear consist OF subterranean gall
leries which permit the reliefs to be
made without any exposure OF the men.
All along this front posts OF obser-
walton have been established. each OF
which Is constantly occupied by at
least three men provided with pow
erful field glasses and in direct tele-
phonic communication with head quar-
ters and with the artillery batteries IN
the immediate vicinity. The emplace-
ments OF these batteries are known
only to the headquarters staff and
to the men who serve the guns, all of
which are buried in the earth, only
their muzzles protruding. For the benz
eft Of the gunners the ranges of all
prominent objects In the front have
been measured.
Behind the lines OF trenches runs a
light railroad line for the purpose OF
bringing up ammunition and food and

Unique Role In
War By Retired
Field Marshal
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Berlin, Jan. 3.--Oid Count Haeseler,
the retired field marshal. is playing "a
unique role in this war. Some twen-
ty years ago military men, both Ger
man and foreign. were accustomed to
look to him as leader Of Germany's
armies in the event OF a war as he had
acquired great reputation as STRAIT
egist. But the war did not come in
time to give him his great opportunity.
He had fought through three wars
against Denmark In 1864, against Aus
trda In 1855 and against France In
1870, but he was then too young to
attain high rank, and whom the pres
emit war broke out he was too old to
command an army, though he was ap-
preaching his seventy-ninth year, ne
went to the kaiser, IL 10 said. and beg
ged permission to accompany the
troops into France. pleading humor-
ousiy that he had lost RIB there in
1870 which he wanted to find.
Haessier got the kaiser's consent
and for weeks he was Following the
German armies astonishing the SOL
tiiers with his utter contempt OF dam
ger. His former orderly Arnold Rech-
berg. tells in q German monthly some
interesting stories about his daily lie
with the old field marshal. 1t has re-
peate.ly occurred, says Rechberg. that
the count has ridden In the firing hne
Of the infantry while making an at
tack. The men were advancing only
oy PUSHES and leaning low TO the
ground; but Haeseler would ride calra-
~ forward with his attendant, the
tsrret Of French rifles; and at times
he was even fired upon by machine
gums and cannon without being hit
In this way a superstitious tradition
has found fcothold among. the SOL
iiers as to the old marshes being sup
ernaturaliy bullet proof.
An incident illustrating his cool
daring, occurred In a certain battle
when he was approaching a village
in which the natives were firing upon
the Germans from their barred
houses. To the left and the right the
German lines were advancing. Some
body warned him not to ride through
the village owing to the ''sniping" go
ing on there; but he rode through
without getting scratch. Arrived
at the farther side he met q patrol UNI
der q. lieutenant coming back from q
reconnaissance, and remarked to him:
"Comrade. advise you not to ride
through this village; the citizens are
firing from their windows, and YOU
would be In danger"
