in certain inspired quarters sedulous

French Gunners Prove

operations in Alsace:

machine-gun sheIter that had been
annoying US a. great deal and while
we were about it to knock the front
line of German trenches to pieces. The
lines were so close that the colonel or
dered all the front trenches to be
evacuated except for my lieutenant
who had volunteered to stay there
aand direct the fire.
my battery opened fire and after a
few rounds my lieutenant telephoned
that we were doing well but that if we
shorten our range twenty yards it
would be still better. AS the range
was over $500 yards, I asked him if
he was sure I could shorten it with
out danger to him. He answered that
it was quite safe. After a number of
rounds he te1ephoned me again to
shorten the range, this time by ten
yards. Chen he said, your shells

I would do it, but that he would of
course retire to the second line. -
gave him time to get away, and
then began again. Ten minutes later,
to my amazem ent, the telephone rang
again My lieutenant had stayed at
his post although a perfect hail of
trench shells was bursting on the Ger
man trenches just seven yards away
from him. We measured the dis
lance 1t says something for our
gunnefs that only one shell had burst

BEGIN CAMPAIGN
FOR ELIMINATING
OVERHEAD WIRES
Alderman Heads Movement
to Have Lines Placed in
Conduits Underground.

Alderman Malcolm MacFayden,
president of the common council, it is
believed, will soon lead a movement
for the elimination of all overhe cad
wires n the city of Bridgeport. Many
counci1men have been appealed to for
relief from overhead dangers brought
prominently to the attention of the
public during the last severe storm
when the fire department were called
upon to order all power shut off Of
trolley lines in certain sections of the
city. It is confidently expected that
the fire board VIII make drastic recon-
mendationS for the clearance of all
wires in the city of Bridgeport Many
ground, after the campaigns began.
Alderman MacFayden, seen by a re-
porter for The Evening Farmer,
readily admitted that tentative plans
looking towards having wires
throughout the city placed in con-
Quits, are being considered by the
administration. The United I1lun1in-t
ating Co. is said to be willing to con-
sent Immediately to an ordinance to
that effect and will carry it out in
streets being resurfaced or just open
ed.
The plans now being discussed, not
only contemplate laying underground
all wires along streets now being re-
paired but are designed to demand
that in the heart of the city all poles
be removed and the streets dug up
They may go SO far as to ask the
Connecticut Co to lay its overhead
feed wires for trolleys in underground
slots as is done in New York and
many western cities. /
'sAIl that is needed now for the
of such measures in
the council said Alderman Mac
Fayden, ttis the endorsement of a few
more business civic and social or
CARNATIONS, and there is no question
that the plans will become an ord1-
nance"

The bitches were full of dead and

MAD DOG RITES YOUNG
FARMLAND AFTER FIGHT


Believed to be an exceptional thing
at this season of the year a mad dog
scare occurred at $50 Sunday morn
ing at the Beards1ey Park farm on
East Main street Extension when a
strange black water spaniel dog at
tackled Fred Meyers, aged II, employed
on the farm and necessitated his re-
ceivingt treatment at the Pasteur In
stitute at New York city.
Meyers was doing his morning work
about the farm when the dog entered
the barnyard. Froth was dripping
from its mouth and with head bent
low it charged upon the young farm
hand, who took flight, but was over
taken. A struggle ensued.
During the encounter Meyers re-
ceived a bite on the right forearm
and lit was with great difficulty he
released the animals hold on his arm.
The dog was then tied to small
post in the barn and Monday It was
shot by Dog Warden George F. Hail.
Meyers applied for treatment at
the emergency hospital and the mat
ter was reported to Health Officer
e, A. Mcclellan The animals head
was sent to the laboratory at Mid
dletown where it was found that the
animal was suffering from the ra-
bies.
DR.. Mcclellan is treating Meyers at
the emergency. hospital. Three
rreatm ents< are administered the first
day, two the second day and one
every day for 2 Z days thereafter In
the opinion of the health officer, Mey-
er's case is not serious as it received
treatment in time.
The name of the owner of the dog
is not known and it is believed that
the animal wandered from it's home in
this city as is the custom of dogs
suffering from the rabies.
