The shells crashed into the principal streets such as the Gran Via. the Broadway of Madrid, and the central squares. Fire engines and ambulances raced through the treots as the shells whistled past high buildings or ex-

These pigeons arrived at Greencastle Thursday, from Cleveland, travelling in state in a special railway express car. with a man to look after their needs. He has been coming here as often as twice a year, each time with a special travel party of
