posa1, but 1t was decided to postpone
any further action on this question
until the ash problem was disposed
of,
City commissioners estimated thai
the city can not properly equip fol
IN nicipal ash collections in less thar
ninety days, and the health bureau
was asked to start at once outlining
plan for this work so that all neo-
essary legislation can be prepared
and passed in time to provide for the
installation of the system,
Favor District Plan
Officials agreed that additional
regulations may be necessary anG
must be enforced. The plan of di.
viding the city into six districts was
favored. This was originally the sys-
tem used by the Pennsylvania Re.
duction Company but was not main
tanned.
According to DR.. j. NJ. ]. Raunicl'
the ash collection problems would
never have started had the reduction
company been successful in carrying
out this plan.
The six districts as proposed last
night were: Two on Allison Hill
from Cameron street west to the city
line, probably using Market street 'as
the dividing line; one district from
and Cameron street east to the Sus-
quehanna river; three districts from
Market street north to city limits ano
between the river and Cameron
street, to be divided into sections AZ
nearly equal as possible.
Under superintendent
The proposed plan if adopted will
place the entire disposal system un,
der the direction of a superintendent
who will district inspectors under
him, making daily reports, receiv-
ing complaints and directing the
work of the men in his district. Ash
collections will be made twice g
week in winter, and once a week In
summer; garbage twice week In
summer and once a week in winter
Householders will probably be re-
quired to keep ashes and rubbish
separated.
By letting a contract for garbage
collections for another year the com
missioners believe ample opportunity
will be given to study the best and
cheapest method of disposing of this
waste.

district. More bombs appear to hav e
fallen in the streets than hit build
ings. The Chronicle estimates that
eight or ten raiders visited London.
Two Attacks
There were two separate attacks
over the London district, the second
occurring about l o'clock this morn
ing. Some people claim to have seen
a half dozen airplanes but they wore
quickly lost sight of in the haze.
After dropping bombs the raiders
flew Seaward.
One machine was located by seach-
lights at an estimate height of 5000
feet. 1t was severely shelled and on
lockers declare 1t was hit. At the
same time British airplanes were
seen maneUvering for attack on the
raiders.
Has Germany got her great air
offensive ready before ours?" is u
question asked by a morning paper
apropos of the invasion of England
on three successive nights, and Field
Marshal Haig's overnight report of
aggressive enemy aircraft. Another
paper, which assumes and frequently
warns of Germany's intention to in
wade England with aircraft in very
large fleets says:
Germans Move Fast
THE enemy seems to be getting
on rather fast with invasion plans.
The German aircraft came, bombed,
and departed. Our guns fired and
our aircraft went up but without re-
suit, according to the latest official
reports. This is the ninth serious
raid this summer and of 127 ma
chimes which have crossed our coast
Germany only admits the loss of
SEVEN"
The paper refers to the growing
casualty list and the relative immu-
nifty of the invaders and adds:
"It cannot be said that we are
getting on with our invasion plans
faster than the enemy"

"Tim" O'Leary Charged
With Stealing Chickens

Tim O'Leary, who in times past
has received more than his share
of attention from the police depart
ment because of his propensity for
being arrested on charges OF
drunkenness, is now facing a more
serious charge, and it is probable
that he will be held for court upon a
charge of stealing.
Mrs. Andrew Kuble, of ShaffeI
alley, alleges that Tim" when the
desire for drink was strong upor
him, took three of her chickens. The
chickens, it is claimed, were pawn
ed to procure money with which to
satisfy Tins" desire for liquid re-
freshments.
Although O'Leary has been before
the police court many times, this is
the first time he has been charged
with stealing.

Flanders as far as the Thorout-

some 200 square miles.
One theory advanced for the re-
ported evacuation is that the German
command, dreading the effect of the
next drive is preparing to flood the
lowlands by diverting water from
the river Scheldt, thus blocking al
lied progress. Another supposition is
that the Germans lacking the men ia
hold the present lines firmly enough
are preparing for another strategic
retreat.

SHE WAS HAPPY
Mrs. De SauIIes, Under Cross
Examination, Explains
Her Letters.

Mineola. y. Y, Nov. 27.-Contrary to
predictions yesterday. Mrs. Blanca De
Saulles. on trial for the murder of her
husband, was returned to the witness
stand this morning for cross -eXamina-
ton by District Attorney Charles r.
Weeks, who is conducting the prosecu,
ton.
Weeks first question was in relation
to her closing statement yesterday.
that she remembered nothing from the
time she feared her former husband
would refuse to give her custody of
their son until she awakened in the
Nassau county Jail. He asked whether
she testified to that effect. The wit
ness answered in the affirmative
Other questions brought a statement
from Mrs. De Saulles that she had
suffered considerably in the heat dur
ing her three months Imprisonment
The defendant said she had not suf-
fered any lapses of memory while in
jail. but that her finger nails had
been very brittle and that her hair
had fallen out to an appreciabie de-
gree.
The defense maintains these symp-
toms indicate the disease of the thyroid
gland. hypothyreosis, from which II

time of the tragedy
