Huns Have a Town Crier.

The officers of the regiment have on the burgomaster of Polch when it comes to having a striker. The only difference is that he is a clanger, tor he rings the bell to announce hew tidings to the populace. For instance, if the square-heads are not on the square with Americans and a fine is imposed, the tidings of Helnie’s hard luck must be published broadcast So the chief mogul of Polch crooks his ■ finger and explains the mission to the bell ringer, who in turn goes to each streel corner announcing that Herr HawShfeffer hag been fined 200 marks for not having the outside door unlocked. All this time the bell plays a clanging accompaniment — Barrage, Polch, Germany. *
