LONDON, Aug 2g.-There are
heroes by the tens of thousands
in this greatest of all wars.
A boy Is the first great hero of
this war. the story of whose des-
perate deed has Just come out of
the war zone. He was a Belgian
Corporal Jules Lupin, 10 years
old--and he won glory - and
death-in the fighting with the
Germans between Liege and
Brussels.
The story is fully authenticated
by Major Jeanne, the boys com
handing officer, who, himself,
was dangerously wounded in the
same battle. Maj. Jeanne, from
his bed in the hospital at Ant
werp, has taken pains to send the
facts to the Belgian war office.
The brave deed of Corporal
Lupin is told as follows by a com
rade:
I'VE were on the right bank of
the River Mouse at Bellaire, and
we were in close touch with a
German battery. The musketry
on both sides was terrible. | was
stretched out flat, continuously
loading and shooting. and could
feel my gun getting hot.
Bullets were flattening their
moses in front of me, raising
clouds of sand and dust. My
mouth, eyes and ears were full of
powder. Corpses were heaped
round me, their faces black with
powder, and stamped with the
horrible grimace of death; their
hands, with swollen veins, grip
ping their Mausers. Yes, war is
magnificeDtly terrible.
"All at once the Germans
adopted new tactics, and / must
give them credit for being a cute
lot. They seemed to withdraw
from their position, and we could
distinctly notice their ranks split
ting as If in great confusion, but
it was only to bring to the front
some more artillery which had
been rushing from behind.
The move was smartly execut-
ed, the ranks closed again, and
for a time they seemed as IL they
were going to have the advantage
over us.

which passed here today was a
Young French officer, Albert
Palaphy. whose unusual bravery
on the field of battle won for him

AS a simple corporal of the
Tenth Dragons at the beginning
of the war, Palaphy took part in
the recent violent combat with
the Germans. In the thick of the
battle Palaphy's colonel was
wounded. Palaphy hoisted the
injured man upon his shoulder
and, under a rain of machine bull
lets, carried the colonel safely to
the French lines. That same day
Palaphy was promoted to be SER
geant.
Shortly afterward, although
wounded, Palaphy led a charge

OF how the Germans were har-
assed by artillery fire during
their retreat near Meaux, the
scene of a severe fight YESTERDAY.
The German Infantry had taken
a position In a sunken road on

ed In extended lines hammocks,
some of them natural and some
the work OF spades in the hands
OF German soldiers.
Besides MANY bodies were 40
or so empty cartridge shells,
while fragments of clothing, caps
and knapsacks were scattered
about. This destruction was
wrought by batteries a little more

ed between the batteries and
their mark but the range hal
been determined by an officer on
an elevation a mile from the
gunners. He telephoned diree-

glasses watched the bursting
shells.
The sunken road was Uttered
With bodies today. The road is
lined with poplars. the branches
of which, severed by fragments
OF shells, we're strewn along the
road. In places whole tops of
trees had been torn away BY the
artillery fire.

Commission more than
 Selfsupporting

During the month of February, the shortest in the year, the Arizona Corporation Commission has col lected and turned into the gen. eral fund of Arizona the sum of $31, ,O3O.51, or $1 ,475.25 for each of the twenty-one working days in the month.
 Compared with the fees collected in February, 1913, the increase in the amount of work done by the | Commission be comes at once apparent. In February of last year the Commission collected from all sources the sum of $4, 95S. 29, .or $234. 20 for each of the twenty-one working days. Taken from another angle, the past months fees become import ant for the reason that the Com mission collected $6,O3O51 more than the total appropriation Of s25, ,OOO made by the last State Legislature for the payment of the annual expenses of the Commis SlOn.
 Should the collection for one year continue as great as during February, the collections would amount to $4O4 ,695.15.
 Every cent colle cted by the com omission Is turned over to the State Treasurer, and by him credited to the general fund of the State to be used in paying the expenses of State Institutions which are not self-supporting.

OAK CREEK ECHOES

At last the inordinate spell of high water has abated and once more the waters of Oak Creek are pure and clear. Last Wednesday 25 sacks of mail that was held on account of the rise in the Verde were unloaded at the Cornville postoffice and the force in charge worked from early the evening before until 5 A. M. the next morning. This is the largest amount of mail ever received in the Cornville Postoffice in it's his- tory.
 A Mexican whose name we failed to learn was drowned in the Verde river during the recent rise. He was catching driftwood when in some unaccountable way he fell in the dark waters and was drowned. His body wa found in the Cottonwood dam several hours after the accident. He was inter- red in the Cottonwood cemetery. Mir. William Schlosser, the can nery man, left for Flagstaff the first of the month. This will be his first visit home in several months. He says that the can nery will run full blast this com ing season. He and his partner, MT. w. D. Thomas are very busy buying maternal in the way of cans etc., and making arrangements with help for the coming season.
 Ben Taylor has returned from the mountain after an absence of about ten days. He could not get over the roads sooner as the severe storms that prevailed for several days made the streams high and the roads impossible. He will go back in day or two to prepare for his family which he intends to move to Flagstaff this spring
 The folks in Sed na and the sur rounding country had an enjoyable dance the night of the 27th. and about 20 couples participated in the event. All report an enjoyable time. There is big barbecue toi be given on the Doth of next month.
 Mir Elijah Lay who has resided in this vicinity for the past six years has sold his forty acre tract of land to MT. Ed Hart of the Red Rock settlement. The place con- sists of about or 10 acres farming land, balance in Creek and hills. A good room house, a small barn and couple of small hydraulic rams in operation and building used as a shop are the extent of l the Improvements. The consider ation is said to be $35OO.OO. This will give the outside sections of the country the value of Sedona real estate. There are about 6 acres of | the place in fruit trees and the bal ance is in strawberries and fruit. |
 Frank Owenby left on the 2nd for Jerome to get some supplies and to attend to business he repre- sents in this section of the country.
