Woman Frightens
Burglars Away
Pottsville, Pa, June 12—Mrs.
! Frank Esterly, occupant of one of
tne finest bungalows in the West
1 End, was awakened with a flash-
light in her face. She tried to
trace the burglars but was unable.
Then she arranged her silverware
and a number of pots and pans
where the ntruders would stumble
over them. Soon two masked
burglars made a great noise as
they fell over the obstruction.
Loudly declaring her intention to
shoot, Mrs Esterly ran after the
men, who were glad to escape
without any booty

FRENCH BATTING AVERAGE
STILL IS 100 PER CENT
Paris, June 12—The ground over
which the French advanced in their
counter-attack Tuesday was literally
heaped with German dead, says the
I lavas correspondent at the front. In
re-taking Belley and reaching the
southern outskirts of St Maur the
French surprised the Germans who
until then had thought they were mas-
ters of the situation. The Germans
retired in disorder and brought hors-
es to the first line at full gallop in
order to carry away their guns.
The ardent and valiant counter-at-
tacks, the correspondent says, proved
that the French have not lost their
hitting power.

ballots will be sent them for their
