A FRENCH MAYOR'S PUNISHMENT.

[By The Associated Press.]

Nancy, (via Paris,) Jan. 30.--The Mayor of a large township in the

vicinity of Nancy has been suspended from office for a fortnight for

shooting at a German aeroplane as it was flying over his town.

In taking this measure the authorities of Nancy held that a civilian

had no right to act as a combatant, as by so doing he only brought

upon the heads of the civilian population severe reprisals.
