British War Secret of Discharging Mis-.

Disclosed.

LOndon.-"Phantom t0rpedoes' from

ing 5000 troops, just before the end
of hostilitieS. only the armistice pre-
vented other aerial ''phantoms" from
operating effectively against the Ger

These hydroplanes discharging tor

the great secret of the British navy
during the closing month of the war.
Scientific officers of this branch of
the navy agree that these mysterious
planes are designed to accomplish
from the air more effectively and
more swiftly what the torpedoes from
submarines can achieve.
An armored ship carrying twenty Of
these machines met the German sur
rendered fleet at sea ready for action
in case the Germans should attempt
some eleventh-hour tricllery.

discharge a torpedo direct at the enc

Travellers Are Welcomed.

Strangest of all are the lights at
night in the hamlets and villages, or
shining friendlily from the isolated
farmhouse, in regions further back.
For so long France seemed a deserted
land to the traveller by night. Hour
after hour the press correspondent
has Travelled at night without gllm-
mer to be seen in the countryside, and
now from every hill and vale the
CHEEKY windows shine and the villages
are ablaZe. The papers devote coll
umns to the illumination of Paris, but
it is here in the remote part of France
where war has been that lights at
night seem most wonderful, even il
they are but candle or little lamp.
Where once camions or staff cars
doomed lightless In the roads TO the
imminent threat of collision. and often
its accomplishment, the brilliant head
lights stab the night.
There in every village now the trav-
cling stranger can obtain food, not in
variety, perhaps, but enough and
very Hospitality. The deprecatory po-
lite and necessary refusal to requests
for refreshments that usually were re-
ceived in little hamlets or single farms
has given way to a cheerful offering Of
what there is, for the farmers know
now that the specter of a winter of
short rations has disappeared. The
rationing of certain foodstuffs is still
in effect. Bread tickets are necessary
in public eating places, no matter how
unpretentious butter and milk are sci.
dom to be had and cheese is scarce,
but of plain vegetables and certain
meats there is plenty, and the light red
and white wines Of the country are
forthcoming when demanded.
At this season there is game In the
small town markets, hares and rab-
bits, venison, red-legged partridges and
the large French quail and wild boar.
1t is high, but not so high as 1t always
is at home.
