MAN POWER MOVES BIG FRENCH GUY

In the photograph may be seen detachment of French soldiers work ing hard to move one of the monster guns, mounted on railroad trucks, which destroy German trenches at distances of ten miles and more, These guns are moved by steam, but occasionally the motive power fails, and then man power is called upon.
 The map shows part of the power full defenses which confronted the British troops in their offensive on the Somme and makes clear why it took them nearly three months to capture Thiepval, which at the outset was only mile beyond their lines
 The black lines are trenches, and the barbed wire entanglements show which are defensive and which com munication trenches. Besides the snarl of trenches marking Thiepval, the two knots of trenches north and northeast of that point apparently mark the "Schwaben" and "Stuff' redoubts, where the British have re- ported heavy fighting in the past few days
 Complicated as is the tangle of trench lines on the surface, the map does not reveal the immense cata- combs underground, the result of two years labor, which formed an equally

ANNEXATION DEAD IN kENSINGTON
New Britain's Attitude on Propo-
 SitiOn Killed It
WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF
Sunday at the Local Churches-Sur- prise Party Held at Home of E. O. Dean-2O Electors Made-Other News.

Annexation of Kensington to New Britain, which seemed so bright a few weeks ago, is dead," declared a promi- nent resident of that village in con- versation with the Herald correspon- dent this morning. "Kensington was more than willing to go half way with NeW Britain on the proposition, too, declared the speaker, but the attitude of the New Britain charter revision committee the night of the hearing some three weeks ago put another complexion on the situation and to- day kens1ngtonians are planning to paddle their own canoe.
 Tn this connection there is a move- ment on foot to establish a borough bond the community and establish water works, a fire department and ostan other needed improvements and when Kensington puts her shoul- der to the wheel, as she can, things arc going to happen in this village as they have never happened before, he declared.
 "The attitude of the New Britain be that the Hardware City has every thing to give and nothing to receive by 8 union with Kensington But Kensington residents know that Now Britain would gain many things worth while to an up-to-date city, such as the Hardware city is admitted to be. For one thing she would gain about 2 mile or more of valuable railroad frontage, something that is growth g rapidly scarce there For another thing she would take over nearly s2,o00 worth of valuable property in csuding several large factories, not to speak of a dozen or more brickyards.
 Added to this the city would be put on the main line of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and would add several thousand to her population. Kensington would not be tf1r only gainer by a union of the two places, but apparently New Britain takes that attitude and they have suc- ceeded in killing the proposition Kensington will now proceed to take care of herself

The careful business man con- serves his income and anticipates cer- tain pay ments by deuositing his money with a strong, safe bank; and when taxes, insurance, special as- easements, payments on real estate, etc., fall due, he writes a check for the amount.
 Regular deposits, small, perhaps, make these payments easy and cer- tain. The cancelled check, returned by the bank, affords the lest legal re- ceipt. The transa ction is closed in convenient, business-like way.
