not being bombed in an airplane raid.
The French airplanes went up, circling
around until they were almost out of
sight looking for the Germans. 1t was
not until later that they realized that
1T was a case of bombardment. I saw
the mark of one shell where it had cut
through a house, a horizontal mark,
and not from above. also saw sliv-
ef of a shell.
1.-The long-range shooting is follow
ed by nightly air raids. The Ameri-
can soldiers have become utterly in
different to them. One night recently
there was an air raid and the Alert
was sounded, the police and firemen
blew their whistles and 1 heard a sol
der protesting against being wakened
up and told to get into the cellar. His
voice beloved down the air shaft:
Bring that cellar up here"

Community but Cannot Be
Captured.

Fredersberg, Md.-Much excitement
prevails in Puckum, farming commu-
nifty between here and Seaford, about
the appearance there of a big bear
which has been terrorizing the farm
erS.
All efforts to capture the intruder or
to get close enough to see what species
he is have proven futile Farmers
who have been missing young cattle
and fowls think they have fallen prey
to the bear.
1t has been seen by persons driving
along the roads, and on several occa-
sfonS the farmers have armed them
selves and gone in search of it, but
the bear eludes them by hiding in
swamp. Traps which have been set in
the swamp have failed to capture it.
