effort at sucking dry every inch Of
the invaded regions of France before

just come to light IN the discovery
that the canals and rivers Of northern

The discovery was only made when
the French recently undertook tbe
task OF rendering these waterways
navigable after the German destruction
Of bridges, locks, entertainments and
barges.
The necessity Of draining dry many
OF the canals and portions Of river
beds rendered unusabIe by the Ger

IN order to catch absolutely everv

OF the use of explosives for stunning

Previous to the German invasion OF
France. the canals. rivers and water
ways had been brought to high state
or nsh productiveness both by stock
ing them and by the enforcement ~

idea was to keep the productfveness
Of these streams up to their highest
pitch at all times. River fishing CON
stitutea one Of the very important in
dustfies of the country. and careful
Observance Of the fishing laws in
insured the permanency OF the river

The one idea dominating the Ger
mans appears to have been to make
certain that after their evacuation #
,would be years before the rre,cb
would again be able to restook the

HAUNTED RIFLE IN TRENCHES
German Gun, Captured in Abandoned
Duoout, Brings Trouble to New
Owner, the Latter Believes.

An officer In the European trenches
writes:
have heard many III omens aI-
piled 10 certain towns or villages.
There Is one on the tower Albert, for
instance; while certain dugouts are
always unducky. II is bad omen in
some parts OF the line 10 stumble over
grave.
During the late offensive certain
young officer found IN captured
trench German sniper's rifle with two
small ivory disks let into the stock.
He kept IL In his dugout. intending To
take II back TO billets when they VA
Gated the trench. One morning he
brought IL out In the trench TO clean.
and Fritz thereupon started strafing,
30 that he had to retire again to his
dugout. Next day the same thing
happened. and whenever he brought
the rifle out Of the dugout shells would
begin 10 come over Finally the thing
got so on his nerves that he refused
To let any one touch the rifle II is
probably still In the dugout. for II is
certain that the legend was handed on
10 the next occupants.
