The gunfire In Flanders: has been i hoard lit London -countless times, while It .Is finite Impossible to , say how far (lie famous inlneburst on the Vliny ridge, produced by human agency, though not gunfire, could ba heard. But it la doubtful whether the loudest thunder that ever peulcd has I been heard 20 miles away. One of the greatest thunder storms of recent years occurred III the Rich mond area, hut not a sound of It reached London, and It Is on record I hut when the;ehurch steeple of Lost wlthlel was destroyed by lightning to tho accompaniment of such a roar of thunder us the oldest Inliabllnnt could nut reineinbitf, no Bound was heard 80 miles distant. -' j Thei explanation Of this seeming nnomaly is possibly the, fuct that thunder Is produced In the air, and the sound Is conveyed . by rairth wiives rnthor tliun by air wuves.

Later It became necessary for them to turn nut larger shells, and doubts were raised as to whether the women were strong enough to handle them. : A young mother settled the question. "Let me heft the shell," she said, picking one up from the floor. "Aye," be commented, "this shell Is a mite heavy, 'tis true, but It's not bo heavy as my baby." There Is a shell factory In the Liv erpool district operated almost exclu sively by the daughters of business and professional men. Many are voting girls who had never done any kind of work other than needle work und cooking. The heavy work of the establishment Is performed by the wives of sailors.

The desperate malevolence of a Ger man airman, who, falling to his death, tried to "go west In style" by taking with him ns ninny women nnd children as he could Is graphically described by Mrs. Laura Forest of the American fund for French wounded In a letter from Epernny, where she had taken pnrt In the evacuation of a hospital before the Germnn advance and wit nessed the fall of the Hun plane. The letter tells how the Hoche even nfler he had fallen deliberately continued, to fire upon noncouibatiint spectators. Mrs. Forest's letter follows: "It wns just after breakfast on Sun day when tho guns announced tho np- proach of nn enemy plane and we crowded around the doors of our ho tel nnd watched what we thought was the successful carrying out of u dan gerous move, the sudden dropping down of the plane through the urea of bursting shells and out of the reach of the guns. Right over the building he came, raking tho street with mu-chlne-gun fire and then came such a hurst of Joy from the throats of the people us Is seldom heard: 'II est tombe! II est tonibol' (He bus fallen.) "When I found myself I wns run ning with the men and women nnd children of Epernny, and with them I kept on running till the fallen plane wns In sight. Wounded ns the avia tor was, he turned his machine gun on the crowd und fired, killing n woman and a child. And still "we ran on and found him nnd only, the arrival of a motor with the police let him live ns long ns he did. He died within a few hours. The second niiin was burled under the machine and the crowd wns well dispersed before he was brought out, badly wonnded, and carried away. I never heard whether he lived or died."
