Vivid Story of Exploits of Squadron of French Ora goons That Had Become Isolated in Midst of Ger man Lines.
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcHI

PARIS, Nov 2S.-A night official sta ement says
 "On yesterdays fighting there is nothing of importance to report" The French war office supplement- ed it's official statement with an ac- count of the exploits of squadron of dragons during the early part of September.
 During the night of September g. the account reads. "a lieutenant of Dragons who had become isolated with his squadron in the midst of the German lines and had taken refuge at a farm, learned of the presence of d park of German aeroplanes on the road leading from Niviers to fac tory between Soisson and Compeigne. According to the gossip of peasants, the aeroplanes had landed about se- ven o'clock in the evening and had been joined about ten o'clock by an lautomobile convoy consisting of se- ven to nine machines which kept company with them during their flight.
 The lieutenant decided upon an immediate attack. It was then half past two in the morning It was proposed that two platoons on foot. should approach the convoy and fire three shots. The mounted platoon would hurl itself upon the automo- piles and charge with lances those who sought to escape. Another mounted platoon was to remain in reserve.
 The two platoons on foot ap- preached within forty meters of the automobiles when they challenged and opened fire Scarcely had the | fire ceased in conformity with the orders than the mounted platoon charged at gallop, shouting 'Viye Le France
 unfortunately the Germans were only partially surprised and their rapid fire guns opened fire. Three French officers were killed and a platoon literally annihilated- Not one of the troopers reached the automo- piles.

 men fell. The lieutenant received a bullet through the arm, but not be- fore he had been able to discharge
 his revolver against the chest of his adversary who sank to the ground. The other German in the automo-

Hundreds Of women.
No people in London showed more

OF them passed through hardships at the
Continental railroad stations which

from the English people. Let those who
are comfortably at home in the United

OF experienced men, aforementioned by
such a condition OF affairs as now exists,
