WITH THE FRENCH ARMY AT
THE FRONT. Nov 29.-(By Mail to
New York. Just how thoroughly
the Germans were prepared for this
war does not really sink in on one
until one crisscrosses about the war
zone. The stories one hears OF their
preparations are amazing and II a
tenth Of them are true one can not
be surprised at the rapidity OF their
invasion at the beginning Of the war.
French army officers were dunn
founded. for instance, at the rapid
crossing of the Marshes Of Saint
Gond. northeast OF Paris. by the Ger
mans. These marshes are miles and
miles in extent, covering the lowlands
in the region OF the source OF the
Petit NORM. The marshes resemble
from a distance a beautiful meadow
but even the natives OF the region
do not venture in the tall grass for
fear OF being swallowed up in the
ooze. Perhaps a half-dozen guides
know the swamps intricacies and
these make living leading hunting
parties through them. For an unguid
ed person to attempt to cross the
marshes would be as much as his life
is worth.
Nevertheless the German troops
crossed the marshes without the
slightest trouble or delay. They did
hot even hesitate. The native guides
were all well known and accounted
for: they did not lead the German
soldiers over. How did they escape
the bogs?
Well, here's a story told me by a
civil officer Of the district He had
hal part in the deal and he ought
to know. About three years ago
company was formed in Germany for
the purpose OF buying up and re-
claiming swampland. The first land
this company set its heart upon was
the Marshes OF Saint Gond These
lands belong to the commune. or
county-or rather several counties
and the officers representing the COM
munues were asked TO get together
for a deal with the Germans The
German company proposed to drain
tbs swamp and turn the land into
the richest OF farms, which would be
sold off in lots TO French farmers.
How much would Germany give for
the swamps. The company would
make an offer as soon as the proper
estimates Of the cost of drainage
could be made out.
A score Of German engineers there
fore began work I'm the marshes. Ev-
cry rod OF the district was explored.

Walter Smith is the young man Of
Buffalo. who was shot to death by
Canadian soldiers while he was hunt
ing ducks on the Niagara river near
Fort Erie Can International COM
plications with Great Britain have
been suggested as result, but Off
cials Of both governments insist
there will be no serious consequences.
Smith. with a friend. Chales
Dorsch, according to accounts OF the
affair. were out early in the morn
ing. They took their poat over into
the Canadian side OF the river. The
Fort Erie chief Of police rushed to
the bank to warn them off because II
was closed season for hunting ducks
in Canada. Later he called members
OF a military company from the fort.
They fired on the two men in their
boat Smith was instantly killed.
While Dorsch was wounded.

jaw of the opponent-he has knock

third shows the straight right start

from short distances are sufficient
blows to make any fighter famous. but
Gibbons has more, for his right up

 Hartford, May 7-As usual there was less than 2 quorum present at the Friday session and, although there was some lively discussion, care was exer- cised that matters were not brought to the point that would disclose lack of quorum and carry with it automatic adjournment. There was a deluge of reports received, the unfavorabIe be- ing promptly rejected and the favor able sent through the required chan nel to final action. At present there is indication that much that should have been done right will not so be done, if the general assembly adjourns May 18th. as planned, unless radical improvement has been made on the methods that have marked the pre- ceding days of the present session.
 Concerning Cooperative Associations.
 Section 3994 of the general statutes was amended to read as follows: The business of the association shall be managed by a president a treasurer and board of not less than five di- rectors, who shall be styled a board of managers, shall be chosen annually by the stockholders and shall hold their offices until others are chosen and qualified in their stead. except that when the bylaws of such asso- citation shall so prescribe the board Of managers may be divided into not more than three classes, each class to hold office for not more than three years and one class to be elected an nually. Such association shall have such other officers as. it shall pre- scribe by it's bylaws, and the mode of appointment and choice of such off, cers shall be prescribed by the by laws.

The Ger man governments decree defined the war zone as including "all the waters surrounding Great Britain and Ire channel. although stating specifically that shipping north of the Shetland Islands, in the eastern area of the North sea and in a strip thirty miles wide along The Netherlands coast would not be imperiIled. The Lusi- tanfa, therefore, was in the war zone when sunk.
 To Destroy Every Merchant Ship.
 In the war zone decree the German government announced it's intention "to destroy every merchant ship found in the area of war" stating that this ac- ton had been made necessary by the conduct of Great Britain in carrying on "a mercantile warfare against Ger many in a way that defined all the principles of international law
 Newly Constructed Submarines.
 The German admiralty is reported to have sent newly constructed sub marines of large size and high speed for the present campaign. Few de- tails are available as to the specified tions of these vessels. It is said they are able to carry supplies for three months, enabling them to remain out for that length of time without put ting into a port or having recourse to a parent ship.
 Four Torpedo Tubes.
 The UPS. one of the powerful Ger man submarines, which sank the Brit ish steamer Falaba off St. Georges channel March 28 with the. loss of all lives, was equipped with four torpedo tubes, two 14-pound disappearing guns and two one-poUnders. The Lusitania with her speed of 25 knots an hour, probably was several knots faster than the submarine which sank her.
