GERMANS FEAR

IN. e. A. Specially

Paris, Nov. German papers are
nervously wondering what cunning
tactics Foch and Pershing are prepar-
ing for the taking of Longwy and its
rich mining regions, stolen by the
Huns in 1914.
The position of Longwy is a natural
defense 1t forms salient in the ter

The town of Longwy dates back TO

since 1873, when the treaty of Rys-
wick coded it from the Duke of Lor-

terday by Postmaster B. S Hancock,
county chairman, and c.. B. Hervey,
city chairman Of the Escambia county
committee.
Keen competition has been resumed
among the schools of the city since
their reopening Monday and Mr.. Ham
cock believes that if the contest con-
tinues among the pupils in its pres
ent Intensity, this county is sure to
win prize. The Archibald priz, of
$500 for the school selling the largest
sum in proportion to enrolment is
sought.
Immediately at the close OF the
United War Work Campaign next week
IT is planned to reopen the down.

upon by Mr.. Hancock and Mr.. Hervey
yesterday. 1t is believed that the

RESTORING Of
MINES bEG|HS

Washington, Nov. 6.-Action of the
German military forces in the past in
conducting air raids On defenseless
towns in France, Belgium and Eng
land, and on hospitals preclude in the
opinion Of military and diplomatic OBJ
servers here the giving Of any serious
attention to the protest from Berlin
against the aerial operations of the
allied and American armies. The
plea for cessation Of the raids on Ger
man towns, delivered to the state de-
partment through the Swiss legation,
declares that since October / German
air forces have been under orders to
operate only against military objects.
In view of these instructions, dis
closed through the note for the first
time to the allies and the United States
the German government says it's has
assumed that similar orders would be
issued by its opponents. Should such
directions be not issued, the German
government declares it reserves the
right to renew it's aerial attacks on al
died territory behind the lines
The long list of German oombing
raids on towns outside the zone of op-
erations and on hospitals was pointed
TO as justifying the continuance by
the allied and American air forces Of
operation against military objec-
tives in German. That Germany's pro-
test was made too late was the gen.
eral belief in many quarters.

SWIM CANAL
IN LIFE BELTS
IN. Z A. sneeiai.,


London, Nov. 6.-How does an army
force its way over a canal or a river
The story of how British COM
pany negotiated the canal between
Passchendal and st. Quentin most
wildly reveals the manner and the
difficulties overcome.
Before going into the line these
Midlanders had been practiced in
swimming in lifebelts, in the Somme.
Armed with their lifebelts on the
morning of the attack, they came
through the smoky mist and threw
themselves into the canal which In
places is shallow, in others full of
water and in spots waist deep in thick
mud. AT another point it disappears
into dark tunnel.
Some of the men were armed with
leads attached to lines which they
threw acorss to those who gained the
further bank by swimming. ThAe
light lines were used to draw over
heavier ropes by which the men who
could not swim crossed hand over
hand.
Both ends Of the tunnel were seized
In the surprise attack and a how1tzer
was fired down one end. The noise
echoed and reechoed and out from
the further end came a stream of
N1ei hi1hs' ifAe pIfIo"HlS animals OUT
OF hole, until 1000 prisoners had
been taken, a quarter of the total Of
the entire operation.
A corporal determined to take
bridge guarded on the end near him
by machine guns and swept from the
other end by machine gun fire. In a
hand-to-hand fight he overcame the
first pair Of machine gunners, then
ran the gauntlet of bullets from the
other side and found three German
engineers prepared to destroy the
structure. He felled them and cut the
mines loose so that they dropped into
the river without damage to the
bridge.
