SAD TURN TO A JOKE" Paris, June 4.
A practical joke ended in the sudden death, on Monday, of the noted French writer of detective thrillers, Gabriel Bernard.
A mischievous newsboy amused himself by doing the remains of an old brush in iodine. holding this under the noses of elderly gentlemen who were passers-by. Nothing ragic occurred until the boy leapt suddenly in front of M. Bernard and repeated the per- formance."
The writer evidently 'mistook the brown-black stick for a revolver and took fright and sank, sense- less, to the ground. He was taken ta hospital Immediately where the authorities certified that he had succumbed to heart failure due to shock.--Transocean Kuo Min.
MODERNISING OF ARMIES
Brussels, June 4. Another sign of the feverish haste with which all countries are modernising their armles came on Monday from Belgium where the demand of the military general staff, made for several years past. that the Belglan field Artilety should be brought up-to-date, was at last granted. The gun factor les at Liege have just delivered the cailbre twelve centimetre new artillery guns of eighteen kula- metre range, to the heavy artil- lery regiments and three army corps.Transocean Kuo Min.
