Thiel "and the men all about me were dropping
from the terrible and well-directed fire Of the
French machine guns. Shots from the mitrail-

postion and bowled the greater part OF a
squadron of cavalry that trie0 20 capture them.
Several times infantry tried to advance only

the French position. Thirteen responded and
was among them We left the shelter of our
trench and made short advances, seeking cover
in every furrow and behind the bodies Of the men
and horses that were strewn about the field until
we gained the ground that lay between US and
the battery.
"Not without great cost, however. Little by
little the squad of volunteers melted away.
Finally the fire of the enemy seemed to slacken,
as il their ammunition running out and we
thought favorable time had come TO make the
final charge with a shout we leaped to our feet
and went forward, supports of infantry following
close behind US It was our task to engage the
enemy until they could come up with US. There
was short but hot encounter as bayoneted
the gunners, and the battery ours. BY the
time the fight was over only four of the thirteen
volunteers were left alive. All four Of US re-
ceved the Iron Cross"
A German soldier one occasion won the
Iron Cross by dsobedience to his officer. This
veteran who lives in New York City, was I'M
willing, for various reasons, to have his name
printed in connection with the story but the tale
in itself is worthy Of telling. With five other sol
diers Of the Sd Prussian Dragons, in which he
served as corporal, he sent on patrol duty by
one Lieutenant Won Frankenberg to ascertain the
strength Of group of Frenchmen who had
pitched their tent within sight of the German
lines. The little band of Germans approached as
near as possible to the French and Of them
was sent ahead to reconnotre stu further He
returned with word that fourteen guns
stacked outside of the tent, with two men on
guard.
I'VE had completed orders" the veteran
said, "but we had been without food for three
days and were frightfuly hungry. We knew, too,
that there must be food in that French tent, and
I asked my men if they did not approve of the

Our English major, before he reached his
own firing line, was hit by bursting shell in

The stories the English officers told US at
La Rue's and Maxims by contrast with the
surroundings were all the more grewsome.
Seeing them there it did not seem possible
that in few hours these same fit, sun-tanned
youths in khaki would be back in the trenches,
or scouting in advance of them, or that only
the day before they had been lodging death
and destroying their fellow men.
Maxims, which now reminds one only of
the last act OF The Merry Widow" was the
meeting place for the French and English Of
hcers from the front, the American military
attaches from our embassy among whom were
soldiers, sailors. aviators, marines; the doc
tors and volunteer nurses from the American
ambulance, and the correspondents who by
night dned in Paris and by day lodged arrest
and other things on the firing lie, or it
as they could motor without going to jail.
For these Maxim's was the clearing house
;or news OF friends and battles. Where
once were the supper girls and the ladies of the
gold mesh vanity bags now were only men in
red and blue uniforms, men in khaki, men in
bandages. Among them English lords
and French princes with titles that dated rom

had met enemies. Now those who had sue

Bishop Wilson has written "A PRAYER

Of all things good. q Thou, who art
able TO make the wrath Of men praise
Thee. out of the ills of these troublous
times bring forth, We pray Thee, the
wisdom Of Thy love. that where men
seem to see the end Thou maycst make
Il the beginning Of better things, a new
and better age; an age in which love
shall supplnut the selfshness which
ha 700 often marked ard married the
rule of kings; in which sword and spear
shall be wrought TO plough and prun-
ing hook, and the fields shall bring
forth gladdening harvosts."
II is a new feature in New York
Protestant churches when so many as
will do so tomorrow use uniform ser
vices, prayers that are printed and
Psalms that have been selected in adj
vance. There are heard some objec-
tons, but the vast majority will follow
the new order. Ii marks a significant
change.
few churches tomorrow will re-
frain from decorations and make their
services of an extremely solemn char
actcr; but the larger numbers will dec
crate with American coiors, avoiding
coloUs of nations at war, and will en-

RIGHTFUL MOOD OF
HOUR, ONE OF HUMILITY

This hour of crisis in the worlds
life is Just the hour for humanity
to come and gladly cast it's load OF
cares on the altar stairs that slope
through darkness up to God. If for
some il is day of disbelief for
others, even for a multitude. II
should be day of faith. Yet
cleansed faith, a faith that has
cleansed itself of human pride and
-sufficiency, of bOastfuiness and
arrogance, of distrust and doubt.
The rightful mood for this hour is
the mood of humility. We know
now what is in the human heart, and
We know that We need God.
