As the turkey is the native bird of the United States, so is the goose the native bird of Russia and Poland.

When the victorious Germans made their triumphant entry into Russia countless numbers of geese were left be

hind in the flight of the Russian farmers. These were commandeered by the Germans. In the rear of the Ger

man army, as it made its way into Galicia and Russia were thousands of Jewish refugees who had fled from

NEW YORK, Aug. 26. The

scream of shells and the rear of

cannon rolled over the waters of

twelve-Inch mortars at Fert Tot

trance of New York harbor, found

their tongue and sent eighteen

700 pound projectiles hurtling to

fare were duplicated as far as pos

sible. The hits seared will not

In the little observatory on

officer directed the sighting of

the mortars by telsphene, comput

The artillerymen saw nothing of

the' target but followed the com

mands of the officer, relayed to

them by the battery commander

Observers, by shading their

eyes against the glare of the sun, ,

on the water, saw the target as

a dot on the horizon. Its actual

measurements were ten feet high

by ten feet wide at the base. The

flight of the projectiles could be

followed without glasses for the

first few seconds, but so far away

were the targets that when the

shell.s foil the great columns of

water that spouted up appeared

but a few feet in height. With

searchlights playing on the tiny

float the firing was repeated tonight.

support of Liberals in Germany, who

have been opposing tbe anti-American
