Artilleryman Writes ot Fatal

Berlin.-A Gertnau artillerist writing
from Frnn-.e tells of the death of a
French aviator who was brought down
by German gunners
“Today 1« saw a French aviator
brought down by our guns," he said.
“The French filers had been growing

coming lower and lower, reaching final,

for our gunners In the village.
“ Suddenly two shots were heard,
and two llttlo white ctouds Were ob
served In the air not far from the aero

at the same spot until he wns almost
enveloped by the next two cloudlets.
One shot exploded just In front of btm.
the other just behind him Our men
had pot their range very quickly.
"Tbe next two ebots, fired almost
simultaneously, settled Its fate. Tbe

from tbe British.
But tbe British, who bave command
of tbe sea. are extremely cautious
those times. It occurred to tbe con
sul general lu New York, Sir Cour
tenay W. Bennett, that cannons, guns
or other contraband might be con
cealed in tbe cotton for delivery to
the German army or navy. Obviously
It would be Impracticable to open nny
of tha bales apd go through tbe cotton
for contraband. Tbe Idea of taking
X ray photographs was suggested.
Officials of tbe British government,
passing along tbe immense piles of
cotton bales on the pier, directed Steve
dores to drag out a bale here and
there. Each bale b o selected was pho
tographed, with the Idea that solid sub
stances concealed In the cotton would

GRAPPLER FOR W IREFENCES.
French Have Devised a Way to Pull
Down German Entanglements.
Paris.—! was talking with a group of
soldiers from tbe front and In tbe
course of their stories of life In tbe
trenches one of them told me of nu in
genious device with which they have
been tearing down tbe German barbed
wire entanglements, writes a corre
spondent at tbe front.
There are hundreds o f miles of these
barriers In front of the German
trenches In France and Belgium, and
they bring tbe most Impetuous bayonet
charge to a standstill until a way Is
cut through them.
Now. I am told, tbe French are ex
perimenting with an appliance similar
to a rocket apparatus, which throws a
grappling Iron attached to a rope over
tbe entanglements, which are then
dragged down and hauled Into the al-
I lee’ trenches.
.
I was not able to ascertain whether
this appliance was In general use or
wns only tbe Inspiration of the local
commander at tbe point from which
these men come.
