Washington, Nov. 24--Mail adyices
from Manila give in detail the story Of
the rescue of Capt Shields and fifty
men of the 39th infantry after their
capture by insurgents in Martinique.
The fight that Capt. Shields and his
party put up against overwhelming
odds is declared to have been enc OF
the most brilliant incidents in the his
tory Of bush fighting In the archipel-
ago The fifty men in question We're
pursuing a party of insurgents of SUI
perior force into the mountains when
they were ambushed in box canyon
by a force of $50 rillemen and 1900
bolomen. They made fight for eight
hours, killing large number of insur-
gc-ts, and were overpowered only
after having fired their last shot. and
were smothered in Il hand-to-hand
fight with their 1000 adversaries.
Sergeants Williams and Mccarthy,
who were in charge of some of the
wounded, came In for particular
praise They cut off the rest OF the
party during the retreat and in
trenched themselves on the hillside
where they stood off their assailants
for three hours. surrendering after
every cartridge had been exhausted.
Scarcely a man in the expedition es-
capped being grazed or slightly wound
ed during the fight.
The total list of the killed amounted
to only five. Capt Shields was wound
ed early in the fight but continued to
direct the operations Of the rear guard
during the four miles of the retreat.
He finally was knocked out by bullet
through the jaw, neck and shoulder
which was thought at the time to he
q fatal wound. The rescue party was
expected by General Hart, who some
months before, when only a colonel
led the party which effected the res

OF captivity in northern LuZon Capt.
Shields and his men say that they
have no complaint to make of their
treatment during captivity. Maxine
Abad was the insurgent in command,
and in response to Capt. Shields
request allowed some of his men to
secure medicines and dressings for the
wounded soldiers. The release of the
party seems to have been due In some
part to the object lesson which Gen.
eral Hare gave Lieut. Gilmore's cap
tors during the long persis- chase

If you use the blue paper wall you will
want to get some long panel frames Of
dark oak, and put in them three or four
small prints, mounted on the same blue
paper as your wall. The effect Of this

of using It.
If you have a den, you must have a
