FRENCH HAVE MACHINE
 TO RAZE BARRED WIRE

Paris, Jan. 2:-The French, soldiers are using device something like a. cross-bow for throwing hooks with lines attached over barbed wire en- tanglements and then tearing tf1en loose by drawing on the thin rope. These barbed wire entanglements are constructed intricately and form belts of lnteriacing wires 20 feet wide and about 7A feet high. Cutting them by hand is such difficult process that about the only way they could be de- stroyed successfully is by hooking them and tearing them free one by one.
 The hand grenade devised by the French to throw into the enerny's trenches when they are within reach is about as large as a baseball. A string tied to the wrist of the thrower pulls out plug from the ball after 1t has left the hand. A srping is re- leased which sets the fuse for the ex- plosive charge going. This fuse may be regulated from one second to two or three seconds, or intermediate frac- tions, and thus adjusted to explode when it reaches the hostile trench.

BEET SUGAR FIELDS
 RAVAGED BY SHELLS

Paris. Jan 2:-The sugar beet fields retaken by the French have not only been ravaged by shells, lacerated by trench diggers and furrowed by the wheels of gun carriages. but have been so trampled by infantry anu cavalry that the extraction of roots became a difficult problem, not yet entirely solved. It is the modest heroine. of the war, the French peas ant woman, who is working on 1t in the unoccupfed regions close to the battle front where she can not only hear it but see the smoke of 1t.
 In all this region the plough fol- lowed closely upon the conflict and seeding necessarily followed so hard upon the blow that some apprehen- sion was felt as to the summary pre- paratien of the soil; there was no time for narrowing but the seed caught and the new crop showed it's head even while the pointed helmets across the line were taking in the last of the belated harvest
 Statisticians say the seeding is little inferior in acreoge to that of 1913.

It was the will of

 In 1856 Laura Dorman, then a girl of IS, came with her father and mother from Franklin, Me, to the village of St. Anthony In 1858 both her father and mother died without having made their fortune in the new land and left Laura an orphan with out relatives or home Reuben Ball and bis wife took Laura into their house and gave her a home until her marriage there three years later.

MYSTERY OF ZEPPELIN
 IS BATTLING EUROPE

Basic, Switzerland, Jan 2-Oniy time can solve the mystery of the giant Zeppelin a1rsfips. Their non activity, combined with German boasts, has won them a. place in the public skeleton cupboard, but if the Zeppelin threat is all b1uff. as ls de- e1ared by various American newspa- pers that know nearly everything, 1t is a. very expensive kind Of bluff
 Bach of the improved vessels costs, roughly, f1o6. GOO ($600s so0o) for build ing and equipment, and as a new one is turned out every three WeSlzs this means more than E33. 900 a week Then there must be added the sa1aFies Of the 250 to 300 men who now work in day and night shifts on the con Would Germany pay this price for q dubious blum If so. why are 60 many troops quartered in FIsfedrdczza- haven to protect the Zeppelin dock yard? Why have such minute pre- cautions been taken against air raids plane guns always ready for 1nstant use. kept on the surrounding heights and on the roofs of the castle ana other high buildings7
 So far none Of the improved Zeppe- fins has been used. Those that have done the raiding and nnofter1nE work in Poland and France are of the old type constructed before the war. Most of the estimates put the nlxna- Der of new super-Zeppelins at fifteen to twenty. Every three weeks a new one is dragged from it's closely guard ed shed and put through it's paces over the lake. Owing to the spy scare. great care is taken to keep it away from the nelghborhoOd Of the Swiss shore. Then 1t makes 3. flight at night time, and after being brought out again for bomb dropping practice it leaves for an unknown destination.
 This unknown destination is part of the mystery Workmen do not know where the results of their la bors are stored. This much is cer- tain-it would never do for the British and French airmen to find out.
 There is talk of great air bases near Hamburg. Namur, Antwerp, Brussels and other towns hundreds of miles apart. There is talk Of new sheds to the north of Zeezrugge- There is talk. too, of trial evolutions over the KIeI Canal and the Baltic in con5uncelon | with submarines and warships
