YOUNG SERv|ANS FILL
PLACES OF OFFICERS
NATION THROUGH CONSTANT
WARFARE is SHORT OF
COMMANDERS.

tRy Associated Press.I
NlSH, Servia, Dec. 1S.-There is
shortage of officers in the Servian
army, due not only to the severe
losses sustained in the earlier battles
of the campaign, but also to the
losses of the two Balkan wars. The
gaps have proved source of consid-
cradle embarrassment to the army
chiefs, and a number of youthful
cadets from the military college have
now been given commissions and sent
to the front
Another matter of serious concern
in army circles is the difficulty OF
caring properly for the wounded, who
are being sent into the interior towns
as rapidly as possible. Although
there are number of Red Cross
units from foreign countries on the
ground, there is still a shortage oil
trained help. and still more serious
shortage of drugs and Of surgical and
hygienic appliances.

tBy Associated PressJ
HAVRE, Dec, 1S.-How a single
of French infantry, told off
to cover a retreat, withstood large
force of Germans for several hours
during a battle at night and then
escaped through a ruse is related
by a wounded officer.
The entire division had been or
dered to withdraw during sharp
counter attack at Charleroi. One
company was selected to check the
German advance. This lot fell to the
company of which the officer, now
in local hospital, had command.
1t was s o'clock in the evening
when the company was ordered out.
The men ran through heavy rifle
and machine gun fire to a farm
house, in which they barricaded
themselves, stuffing the walls. Every
time the enemy tried to approach
they were stopped by volley firing
This lasted nearly three hours.
Twenty times the enemy's bugle;
announced bayonet charge, ant
twenty times the rush was repulsed
But the defenders began to run shor
of ammunition.
The vigor of the German attacks
was now broken. This the Frencl
commander quickly took advantage
of. He ordered a bugler to soun'
the French charge. The Germans
stopped firing and braced themselye
to meet it. During the pause. so a
not to break the still of the nigh
with suspicious sounds, the Frenel
stole out of the house, man by man
and ran for the rear. When tn
Germans, firing of the strain c
awaiting the attack, took the hous
by a rush, they found in 1t nothin
but empty shells.
