SHELLS
STILL MENACE IN
FRENCH FIELDS

LAON, France, Nov. 29.-(By AS
sociated Press. Residents of the
devastated districts of France are
still fleeing from bursts of shell and
shrapnel. The new menace is caused
by the small grass and swamp fires
which frequently set off the shells
that have been piled up to be hauled
away and exploded in some safe place.
Major H. C. Greene, of Boston,
Mass, had thrilling ride and mar
rowly escaped a hail of shrapnel on
his way from St. Quentin to Laon as
result of one of these fires. A
French woman working in field near
Bouconville was gassed and consider
able damage has been done.
In the vass desolate fields, thous-
ands of unexploded shells have been
picked up by German prisoners and
though there are details hauling them
away and exploding them in remote
valleys every day, there are still long
rank of them everywhere. Sparks
from locomotives and from small
fires where battlefield rubbish is be-
ing burned, occasionally set fire to
patches of dry weeds and the acci-
dental bursts are numerous. Roads
passing places where shells are be-
ing set off are guarded, but it is from

Grief Parties Go To

LONDON, Nov. 29.-(By Asso-

organized a series of personally con-

graves in France. The sight of wild

out from Charing Cross or Victoria

hardly less depressing than We're the

Through the Church Army, rela-

who may be unable to meet expenses
incidental to such trip, are provid-

Tinker Bob started straightwuv

"But | expect the King TO marry

But your father did not tell him
so, and now he will punish you both
and maybe he will not let Mr.. Tree
Toad marry you at all. You know
such things have happened before
and il might happen again because
big things always come from small
beginnings and this is not very big
now, but what the King is apt to do
no one can tell" At this moment
Miss Mousey fell in faint 1t was
too much for her frail body to stand
to think of what the King might
do.
Also at this moment the King
came into view and who do you
think he saw? No other than Jerry

and Tinker Bob say. A few mis-
placed words have made many
people faint.
