French Dragon Tells Of Battle
With Germans.
Pomeranian Regiment Makes Desper-
ate Fight to Retain Standard
Sergeant Holds Banner Alone
After Comrades Die.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs.


Paris.-Although regimental stand
ards are no longer carried in the fore
front Of the battle, modern methods Of
warfare have not altogether eliminat'
ed those picturesque fights for the
flag dear to the heart Of the novelist
and painter. Most of the French and
German regiments carry their colors
with them, and there have been sew
eral desperate fights for these silken
trophies, the flercest recorded being
that for the standard Of the Sixth
Pomeranian regiment, which now
hangs in the chapel Of the lnvalides
for the inspection Of French sight
seers. The story of its capture is told
by a French dragon whose regiment
brought back the trophy.
Under q heavy shell fire." he said,
our guns supporting the dragons had
to move to another position, and the
enemy, thinking that we were In re-
treat, hurried their advance, the Sixth
Pomeranians coming up at the double.
Suddenly three large shrapnel shells
from their own guns burst over the
regiment, doing terrible execution and
throwing the whole column into con-
fusion.
1T was the right moment for us,
and the dragons charged home with
lances. The Germans rallied and
formed into u square, but the volleys
they fred were not sufficient to break
the charge. and We rode over them.
Trampled on by the horses, sabered
and transiixed by the lances. the Ger
mans fed in wild confusion.
"One little group, however. was raj
lied by its officers near a small copse.
We did not realize the motive Of their
resistance until we caught sight Of
gold and purple flag fluttering in the |
breeze. They had rallied to save their
flag. We rode up to them and shouted
a demand for surrender. but the only
reply was a volley which sent 20
horses cantering riderless back TO our
lines. Our officers ordered a charge |
in scattering formation. and the gal
liant little group was ridden down.
The nag fell from the hands OF q
German captain who had received q

all the man employees are in the
army.
Thus when about a dozen uhlans
came and lodged at the farm there
was no able-bodied man to protect the
women. The uhlans ate and drank
heartily, then began to make remarks
which frightened the mother, who ran
to hide In the cellar. where she had
already concealed her two daughters.
Presently the uhlans began to search
the house. One came down the first
steps to the cellar and shouted in
French;
See here, madame. were there no
woman domestics on this farm?
Where are they?"
Terrified, the daughters crouched
behind large barrel. Seeing only
the mother the uhlan disappeared and
all went away.
Nothing is more remarkable than
the simplicity with which the coun.
try. people relate their terrible expe.
riences. They utter no EXPLANATIONS
Of horror or dread, and one feels that
they are incapable of inventing the
details. They merely tell what they
have seen or heard in the same quiet
tone with which you might remark
that you had mutton chop for lunch.

ONENESS THAT PERvADEs THE
UNIVERSE.

The late Professor Shaler OF Har.
ward university said that the greatest
discovery Of the last century was that
Of the unity Of everything in the uni,
verse, the oneness Of all life.
This idea that there is but one prin.
ciple running through the universe,
one life, one truth, one reality; that
this power is divinely beneficent. and
that we are in great principle cur
rent, which is running Godward. is one
OF the most inspiring. encouraging and
fear killing thoughts that ever en-
tered the human mind.
The realization that in the truth OF
our being we are a part OF the one
great creative principle Of the uni
verse, a necessary. inseparable part
OF Il, and that we can no more be an
initiated than can the laws Of mathe-
matics; that we must be immortal our.
selves because we are a part OF Inn

take Of all Of the qualities which COM
pose our Creator-Father, that we
must be perfect and immortal because

Our genial. glorious and humorous
democracy alone could produce this
jest:
A young woman from abroad is
starting her conquest OF the country
by entering into domestic service with
naughty family. She had an after.
non of last Sunday and she put on
her finest finery and paraded down
the street with another domestic, a
friend. And as they were walking
along, talking Of this and that. compar.
ing experiences and notes and other
such things, the companion said
Look. Norah! There's the woman
you work for on the other side OF the
street,"
Heavens, Maggie! hope she don't

the enemy's searchlights, the dirigible
dropped three bombs in rapid success

ism had been set going, failed to slide
from Its tube. The dirigible was in
danger Of being blown to pieces by Its

However, the commander boldly

bullets he hacked away the tube and

as showing the very atmosphere of
the rugged life in the conquest of
the new country where conditions
were primitive, and the situations al
together unusual. 1t would appear
that the ancient aphorism, neither
God nor law existed north of 3d." had
been tried out and banished, for this
work was reformative and led to the
establishment of law and order, the
recognition of the owners in civi1iza-
ton which bow to Divinity.
The gun-play in the streets Ct
Nome, the ready. resort to the good
right arm to settle disputes, the tense
and feverish crowds that hang over
the gambling. tables where fortunes
in dust were swept away in a single
nights play, all have their part in this
big drama of realities. Never before
in the history of hlmdom has there
been a more striking and thrilling
modern gladitorial combat than the
contest between the fevered Glenister
and the wary and imperturable Nc
