THE MISSING HANDS.
ARJMENTIERES TOWN CLOCK. TO BE RETURNED. Paris, Aug. 10. A former British Officer has sent a letter to the Mayor of Arnienticres stating that the hands of the town clock, which have been missing since the Armistice, are being returned. As a result of shellfire the clock stopped at 11.30, and this was regarded as an omen of the time when the war would end. This was subsequently justified and the hands were taken as souvenirs.—(A. and N.Z.)
