Girl With FRENCH
"Sbe' Is a Bombing Machine and
Powerful Fraulein

Behind British Lines in France
Aug. 20, Correspondence of the As
ISOLATED Press)- Minnie" is a very
forward young lady who lives as a,
rule in German front line trenches.
She has no pretensions at all to
beauty. She is for use, not for or
nament. She is a trench gun. and
her propectiles remind one of plum
buildings attached to sticks They
fly very irregularly but burst very
regularly in that part of No Mans
! Land furtherest removed from Min
MES temporary lodging.
just before the latest push around
Ypres, there was a particular Minnie
located few miles from Ypres,
which was more than usually q nui-
sance. The British trench was not
we'll sited. nor very well protected
Consequently when Minnie was ac-
tive, she made things very uncom-
Portable for the occupants Of that
British trench. Moreover she had
no regular habits, she worked on no
plan, ladylike she did Just about as
she wished.
The young British subalterns hated
her with a persistent, pervading ha-
/ tired, and concocted many schemes
for her undoing, but to no avail. But
one night, chance brought into the
trench very irrftab BILE old artillery
officer, just as Minnie was active
One of Minnie's buildings soiled his
boots, and thereby aroused in him a
grim determination to devote himself
to her destruction.
He stayed in the trench all that
night, studying Minnie's location and
characteristics and on the morrow he
returned, followed by his orderly, I'M
coiling wires as he walked. At the
trench end of the wire a temporary
telephone was fixed. The far end of
the wire led back mile and half
to battery of field artillery.
Along about noon Minnie opened up
for her midday strafe. Promptly the
artillery officer verified his observa-
lions of the night before and spoke
a few figures into the telephone. A.
minute later loud boom announced
the arrival of British shell just
across on the other side Of No Mans
Land. The British officer swore soft
ly and spoke again into the tele-
phone. The first shell had been at
least thirty yards off, The second was
perhaps twenty yards on the other
side Again the officer spoke into the
telephone, and for the third time the
gun spoke. Bulls Eye" sang the
officer into the telephone and packed
M his belongings in business-like
fashion. Minnie was deceased.

electrical GOODS
Exports in 1917 Fiscal Year
Amounted to $50,0o0,0o0

New York. Aug. 31.-Amcrican
electrical apparatus is gaining rapid
ly in popularity the world over. A
compila ton of The National City
bank of New York shows that the
value Of electrical machinery, ap-
planes and instruments exported
from the United States in the fiscal
year 1917 aggregated more than $780,
100000 against $30,000,o00 in 1916.
s20,O00,0O0 in 1914, 100000 in
1911 and 100000 in 1900.
The American telephone lends itself
with equal facility to the Chinese,
Hindustani. Malayan or English Ian
guages. Our electric fan is a graft
flying substitute for the Oriental
''punkah," whose operator falls asleep
on the slightest provocation and at
provokingly inopportune moments.
The dynamo goes to any and every
section of the world where power is
available for the generation of cleo
tricity. The incandescent lamp shines
as brightly In the mines Of Africa or
on the rubber plantations of the
Orient as upon the Haciendas Of
South America or the streets Of the
European cities. The telegraph in
strument adapts itself to languages
and climatic conditions the world
over, and the American wireless
speaks from continent to continent
from steamship to steamship, or
from tho flying machine at an eleya-
ton Of thousands of feet to the mill
itary commander in the midst of the

A Russian invasion Of Rotterdam IL

and the burgomaster has just had an
interview with the premier Cort van

as 5000 Russians have been added to
Rotterdam's populat ton since the out
break Of war, most Of them refugees
from Germany and others escaped
prisoners-of-war. The formers stay
in Germany dates from before the
war. They were employed in the
mines there, and were not permitted
to leace when hostilities broke out
Ultimately food scarcity drove them
to seek refuge in Holland, but they
are in many cases even pro-German
in their sympathies. In Rotterdam
their wants are supplied by the Rus
sian Consul.
The authorities now complain Of
the habits of the newcomers and the
trouble they give the police with
their street fights and the like, while
a large number are said to be suffer-
ers from diseases and thereby con-
stitute a danger to the public health.
Moreover, the invasion still continues.
and In the absence Of further &C.
comm odation In Rotterdam some
5000 have been recently sent on to
the small neighboring town Of schie-

Believe Kerensky is Kitchener.

London, Aug. 23.-The curiously
widespread belief in England that
Kitchener is still alive has now taken
a new form, namely, the belief that
Kerensky is Kitchener. Everybody
in our street is saying So, writes a
correspondent to one of the London
newspapers. The paper in reply
points out that Kerensky is a young
man of thirty. but remarks that this
fact probably will not weigh much
with the people who like to believe
this kind of thing.
