Another German machine which flew
over the position later dropped a bomb
from a higher altitude on a hangar.
The bomb missed it's mark, but dug a
great hole in the adjoining field.
At a certain place nearby, an enemy
squadron descended to within 300 feet
of the earth and sprayed an anti-air-
craft machine gun position with a hail
of bullets, but did not hit any of the
gunners, all of whom were French.

OF sauer kraut for civilian consump-

dish.
Prussia has received more sthan

fifth. The distribution has been
scrupulously apportloned over the en-

appear fabulous, the amount will af-

less, the fact that sauerkraut will be

deplore the lack Of raw materials, and

Many manufacturers report as their
opinions that wages will remain at
