MOTH AND FLAME.
 IS WAR GAME NOW :.
 PLAYED IN EARNEST

LONDON, Aug. 29-"The Moth and the Flame" is little game of hide and seek which is played over London at night now and then, the moth being an aviator of the city's defense forces and the flame searchlight designed to dazzle the German Gothas when they come in droves to bombard the metropolis.
 These "rehearsals" take place at intervals, the director of search lights being notified in advance that an Allied machine is to ascend, but neither the time nor the locality are given. Then the game of the flame is to find the moth, and keep the rays of the searchlight fastened up on the flying machine.
 To Londoners, the airplane ap- pears like ao great moth, or white speck in the sky. and the search lights rays reminds one of a great white ribbon extending from the earth to the airplane and beyond
 And the moth dives and darts and flutters about and sometimes man ages to dodge the flame, but not for Hong. Down below Londoners are craning their necks and enjoying the game to the fullest extent

scribed as a new comedy by Monta-

thing else.

funct. Some German spy stuff and

intimation that he is other than he

hopping out of a raincoat, dressed
in his army uniform, whereupon he
denounces and arrests three OF the
Kaiser's agents, thereby proving his
worthiness of the heroine.
