The action Of the city council to
provide a barn for the farmers
horses is a big step forward. 1t

Suddenly they heard stream Of dis
loyal German, such as "Hoch :"
"Raus!" and "Gott NIT uns," issuing
from bush. Garerane and GraSSe-
ponie looked at each other. Then by a
common impulse they clutched their
shotguns and advanced on Pluto.
There was q roar of artillery. Pluto
and his tail feathers parted company.
A game warden, J. l.. Bundock, who
was in the vicinity, rushed to the
spot. He found two indignant hunters,
dcnuded parrot babbling German and
some tame pheasants. The hunters
said they We're after Pluto, but the
warden looked askance at the pleas
ants and brought the men to the city.
The parrot according to Mrs. Rath-

The Greek navy already had two for

The chasers are now at Malta for over
hauling, but In the meantime the
Greek government is making overtures
for theil purchase. These proposals
may be entertained, as the close of
the war makes 1t probable that there
will be little further need of the chaS-
