8 'lA0N iNFORMERS' TO DIE
Three Others Are Condemned 70
Death by Default in French
Court

Paris.-Sentences were delivered IN
the case known as the "Laon inform
ers" after a trial of more than sixty
days.
OF the twenty-eight persons accused.
eight were condemned to death. two of
them being women; three others were
condemned TO death by default. Six
were acquitted and the remainder re-
ceived sentences of from one to twenty
years Imprisonment.
The charge against the accused was
denouncing cOmpatriots to the German
authorities during the occupation of
Laon. In many cases the hiding
places Of French soldiers. who had es.
capped the German advance, were point
ed out, with the result that a large
number Of soldiers were executed.

PACIFIC FLEET
HAS BIG GUNS

drawing had been started. On April
%, 1918. a completed gun was rolled
or its own wheels to Sandy Hook prov
ing grounds for long-range tests.
The guns, Secretary Daniels said.
originally were intended for the new
battle cruisers. but a change in design
of the vessels made the guns avail
able for land service.
The guns were mounted on car
riages which could be moved freely
over the French railroads. With them
went their naval crews. Twelve cars
were required for each gun-machine
shop cars, armored ammunition cars,
kitchen, berthing. crane and wireless
cars. The batteries were sufficiently
mobile that If an order came to move
while in action. they could be on their
way in an hour.
Greatest Range of Mobile Guns.
The 14-inchers had greater range
than any gun ever before placed on
mobile mountings. The German guns
which fired on Paris were freaks

and concrete foundations. Their pro-
jectile was small and specially built
for long flight. This reduced their ef-

Because of their permanent position
their location was discovered by allied
ayiatOrs and the guns silenCed.
| The German 15-inch gun In Flan-
ders also became famous for its long
range bombardment of Dnnkirk and
other allied bases. but neither could

ISSUE CURIOUS STAMPS

CZechO-Slovakia stamps recently re-
ceived here are simply the united
arms of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia
with the inscription 'Ceska- Slovenska
Statni" printed on the Magyar stamps.
They were issued when the CzechO-
SlOvak troops invaded Hungary.
The disputed port of Fiume has been
provided with striking series of pic
tOrial stamps, apparently in anticipa-
ton Of an Italian mandate. for they
all bear the words "Fiume proclaima
I annessione all Italia" and the date
3O-1O-191S. The four designs include
the statue of Romulus and Remus fed
by the she-wolf, the piazza of st. Mark.
and ancient Venetian gaIleon and the
portrait of DR.. CrOssich.

no crime on the calendar of which he
might not be guilty.
| should like to see a law passed so
that the writer of an anonymous let
ter, in an effort to hurt. would be di-
rectly sought out and punished ac-
cordingly.
His offense is great indeed, for he
tries not to steal the material thing
which you can replace but he attempts
to rob you of your good name.
Ask the expert of anonymous let
tiers and he will tell you that in nine
ty-nine cases out of a hundred the
writer of an anonymous letter has an
axe to grind in which he is directly
concerned.
The personal equation always is a
big part in the letter that is written
by the holder of a poisoned pen.
! wish it were possible TO print a
sign of the writer of anonymous let
ters, so that everybody might know
him and that he might be pointed out
to little children as a warning, in the
interest of straightforwardnes and
fair play.
The great trouble of it all is that
the weaker sisters and brothers who
receive these letters do not consign
them to the waste basket and forget
them. They harbor them close to their
hearts and allow them to gnaw at life
itself
TO the sensitive spirit l would say:
