WILLIAM P. s|MMS TELLS Of THE
| CONDITIONS Of FRENCH BATTLEFIELD

In the sky. Aeroplanes Of both sides
are exceedingly busy photographing
opposing trenches and plotting them
to scale.
The rat-tat-tat-tat OF machine
guns exchanging courtesies in the
clouds wins only passing glance.
but every little while one Is deafen-
led by the pandemonium Of anti
aircraft batteries driving away in
quisitive aerial enemies,
The combined scream Of shells II
absolutely cyclonic, with countless
fiecks Of smoke giving the impression
that the sky has broken out with .
white rash.
The French advance was gained
with small losses. but considering
conditions even had the Gallic losses
been enormous. the Champagne vic
tory would have been cheap.
The country was not only electri-
fed but French troops are surer than
ever that they are fully equal to the
mightiest blow that Germany has to
offer.
My personal impression is that the
line will stick about where It is all
winter. as indicated by the statement
Of a general talked with to the effect
that much preparation Is necessary
to score an advantage under present
conditions. One therefore Is newt
ably led to ask the question:
when viii the war end?"

RAIN FROM A CLEAR SKY.
An Alleged Phenomenon Linked With
the Falling Of Dew.


the Falling Of Dew,
In English dictionaries we find the
word serein defined as a fine rain
which sometimes falls from clear sky
shortly after sunset. The word Is
French. but has become the interna-
tional designation in meteorological
works for this alleged phenomenon.
which Is always described as quite
rare.
Has the phenomenon real exist
ence?
The fact that stereotyped descrip-
ton Of 1t has been passed on from one
meteorological writer to another since
the latter part Of the eighteenth CEN
ury is by no means conclusive evidence
on this point, for science has perpetn.
ated many myths by the process Of
reiteration.
Professor Gustav Hellmann, In q re-
cent publication Of the Russian Mete-
geological institute. sees in the concep-
ton Of the serein merely the survival
Of the old fashioned belief that even
ing dew falls from the (clear, sky. and
he finds that the serein Of early French
writer's was identical with that even
ing dampness" which was supposed to
be injurious to human health.
II still remains possible that rain
may sometimes fall from q clear sky,
though this is not likely to be a phe-
nomenon peculiar to the early evening.
Some cases can be explained as due to
the oblique falling Of raindrops, carried
horizontally by the wind. when the
clouds from which they came have
passed away.--Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Tendon, NOV. After two days and a night of furious fighting, the Ger mans remain in possession of part of the French line on hill No. 199, north of Masseges. On small front one of Fhc most terrific engagements of the war has been fought here, accord- ing to all accounts reaching London.

 Early in the day, the French suc- ceed d in driving the Germans out of nearly all the positions. when wave of gray coated Teutons swept down upon them and they again were forced to fall back. The Germans, Paris officially admits, remain in pos- session of the trenches they won in that lasl; fierce drive.
 Furious artillery actions are being waged alorg the Lille road, where the French recently gained success, and in Belgium, where the Teuton posi- tions are being subjected to violent bomba rd ment The Givenchy sector of Artois also was the scene of duel of the big guns.
