HAUTMONT

FLYING SAUCERS...

Mrs. Madeleine Brabani and her son saw a flying saucer over the Bois de Boussières.

We do not doubt the good faith of these people, and after all, the population of the Sambre Basin also has a right to its "Martians."

So your servant has decided to go hunting and he is waiting for the saucer and cigar on the right foot. However, if it does land in your garden, do not hesitate to alert him.
