Persistency of Germans.

Manchester, England, April u (By
mail to New York)-"It lays with the
Germans to be persistent" said an of
ficer of the First Manchester regi-
ment, home today from Flanders with
a story of how German artillery per-
sistently pecked away at a village
church steeple for two months before
it crumbled down.
at was in a little deserted village
on the Flanders 'front.'" he said, "and
the Germans concluded we were using
It for an artillery observation post.
They fired an average Of 90 shells a
day for 2 months, but the old Fif-
teenth century masonry stood intact.
Once they struck the iron point of the
spire, which fell into the churchyard
and stuck point downwards in the
grounds. Twice their shells set the
church on fire, but we managed to
put it out. Many houses all around
had been blown to pieces. Shells had
fallen on the porch, the roof and
through the windows; the interior was
a wreck, but the spire still stood.
"Finally one day shell fell on the
roof, then another on a house nearby
and the last one right on the spire
itself. First a cloud of yellow blacl,
smoke and then-before the sound
the old spire gracefully swung over
and fell into the churchyard. The bonn
bardment ceased

Stations so licensed, Of course. are
sending stations. The number of re-
Ceiving instruments is indefinite. since
the size that a receiving outfit NAV
be has constantly been reduced until
now they are made small enough to
carry in ones pocket. 1t is figured.
of course, that the damage one NAV
do is in sending, not in receiving. so
that the safeguards are thrown around
the sending stations. These. if thew
are capable of harm, are large enough
to be seen-or, rather, too large to be
concealed-since the distance that the
radiogram may be sent depends on the
size of the sending outfit. An anna
teur could make himself a sender ont
of the 2 iron posts of his bed, but he
would not send messages far enoupb
