THIS "HELI0" WAS CHARMED
Terrific Bombardment BY oernans
Failed 70 Put Supposed Signaling Z
Party Out Of Commission.

One morning-it was along the Aisne
early In the war-a sudden burst OF
sun from bank of cloud found two
British officers lying on grassy ridge
enjoying q respite from the usual sod
den weather and overcast skies. To
gether, says Mr.. Frederic Coleman In
"From Mons to Ypres," they gazcd on
the enhancing panorama. .
As they looked down the wooded hill
sides into. the lower land that Dor
dered upon the river, one Of them sud.
denly called out: "Look! A hello!
From hedge behind Moussy came
the flash, flash, fash Of Telegraph,
in regular intervals.
Must be some fool sort Of code. v
said the junior officer. II never saw
anything like it before"
As they watched it the Germans saw
it, too. Bang! went big, black "Jack
Johnson" not far from the spot,
Smash came another. Still the flashes
twinkled from the surrounding green.
The first two shells were the forefun.
ners Of dozens that crashed through
the hedge and into the turf all about
the tiny center Of light. And then the
clouds shut out the sunshine and the
flashes ceased.
The next morning brief ten min
utes of sun caused eyes on the ridge
to wander valleyward again. Sure
enough, two flashes, intermittent and
apparently quite without conference,
came from the spot at the hedgeside.
Soon the enemy howitzers played on
the vicinity more fiercely than before,
and after the sun had gone from sight
they kept up their bombardment of
the unfortunate spot for half an hour.
Dozens Of shells fell Whereabouts, then
scores on scores.
That afternoon a cavalry officer had
a journey to make. which took him to
General Monro's headquarters, near
Moussy. When his work was done he
continued a few hundred yards and
sought the spot that had suffered the
awful Smelling. 1t was not hard to
find. The hedge was smashed and
great. black holes gaped in the green
fields round it. No sign could be seen
of the hello party; but that was not
surprising, since for more than half
an hour shells had fallen all about the
Pickering light, until it seemed that
no man could live in it's vicinity.
The staff officer strolled over to a
battery position not far distant and
asked for news Of the signalers. The
gunners had wondered at the heavy
Smelling, but had seen no human be-
ings near the hedge before or after the
bOmbardmcnt.
Nonplused, the officer walked back
to the devastated area, and, just as he
was leaving, discovered the cause Of
all the trouble. There, caught on a
twig Of the hedge, swinging lazily In
the wind, was c bright-bottomed,
empty sardine tin. thrown carelessly
aside by some satiated luncher. The
sun. catching the bright bit of moving
tin, had made Of it q tiny reflector.
Surely, never had so insignificant an
object caused the Germans so great an

SAVED HER Jewels:
Former Russian Czarina Sent
Gems to Germany.
7reasure Estimated to Be Worth $1OOs
100000 Kept Out Of Hands OF the
Revolutionists.

The Russian royal jewels, Including
the gems that incrusted the lmperiaA
Romanoff crown, are safe from the
democratic hands of the new rulers IN
Petrograd. With woman's intuitiVe
knowledge of trouble ahead, the for
mer czarina had them tucked away IN
safe deposit vault in her ancestral
city Of Darmstadt, Germany, right at
the beginning Of the war.
And there they will remain until Mr..
and Mrs. Romanoff claim them again,
saws the New York Tribune.
The story Of the Russian royal jew
els is told in the Chronicle by a writer
who says that the former czarina
was largely responsible for the war, In
that she assured her German friends
and relatives that Russia would not be
formidable antagonist She proceed
ed to prove this antebellum prediction
by pro-German intrigue which ended
with the revolution and the overthrow
of the Romonoff dynasty.
But the former czarina, who, before
her marriage was Princess Alexandra
Alice of Hesse, had no illusions about
Germany. Accordingly, she packed up
the family Jewels in the summer Of
1914, when she saw the International
war clouds appear, and sent them in
charge of trusted messengers to her
brother. the grand duke Of Hesse, for
safe keeping till peace was restored.
The royal emissaries travelled by the
way of Finland and Sweden. They
reached their destination before the
mobilization Of the Russian army was
complete.
The tale of the czarina's German
forehandedness in the matter Of saving
the family gems is said to have been
revealed by members of the Russian
commission, who visited New York
city recently.
A New York society woman had her
eye peeled for bargains in royal jew
elry and approached members Of the
commission on the subject of purchas-
ing a string Of rare pearls which she
had seen the former czarina wear at
a fashionable European resort some
years ago. She was told that she would
have to talk to Mrs. Romanoff or her
BROTHER the grand duke Of Hesse.
Ivan Narodny, Russian business
man and writer of New York, cor
roborated the article in the Chronicle.
Mr.. Narodny said it was impossible to
place an exact value on the royal jew
els, but estimated that they ought to
bring close to 800, 100000 in the mar
ket. He said they were of far greater
intrinsic 7alue than the historic jewels
deposited in the Kremlin, which are
safe.
The disappearance of the royal jew
els became known about a month after
the revolution, when the provisional
governments appraisers were taking
an inventory OF the Hermitage, one OF
the structures of the winter palace,
where the treasures were supposed to
be kept, according to Mr.. Narodny.
"When the vaults Of the Hermitage
were opened the jewel boxes were
gone" said Mr.. Narodny. 'Thc inn

cushion in one chamber Of the vault,
but all Of its stones were found to be
