HOW TWO MEN
FOUGHT A DOZEN
(By Lawrence Elston.)
(Staff Correspondent of the Interna-
tional News Service.)

(StaH Correspondent of the Interna-
tional News Service)
London, Oct. 28.-How two men,
one of them wounded, fought a dozen
Uhlans is described by a trooper Of
the Royal Irish Dragon Guards.
There was man of ours" he
states, "who carried chum to a
farmhouse under fire, and when the
retreat came got left behind. The
German patrol called, and found
them. There were only two, one
wounded, against dozen Uhlans. Be-
hind barrier of furniture they kept
the Germans at bay, wounding or kill
ing nalf of them.
"The Germans made off, and brought
machine gun to the house and
threatened to destroy it. The two
soldiers were not unmindful of the
kindness shown them by the owners
of the farm, and, rather than bring
loss on them or the village, they made
a rush out, with some mad ideas of
taking the gun. Just over the thres-
hold of the door they fell dead.
"People may call them pig-headed
for not surrendering, but that sort of
wrong -headcdness is worth a lot as
inspirations to others.
'There was young chap of the
Irish Rifles. He was kneeling beside
a wounded man of the Gloncesters,
think, keeping off the Germans, who
were circling around like carrion
birds. He had been hit himself, but
was gamely firing at the enemy as
fast as his wounded arm would per-
nit.
owe went to his assistance, bu.
they were both worn out when We
reached them, and, greatly to our re-
gret, we had to leave them to be
picked up by the Red Cross people
That was hard, but if you tried tc
pick up every wounded man you saw
you wouldn't be much use as a fight
er, and as we were under urgent
orders to take up position from
which to cover the retreat, we had nc
time for sentiment.
"Thcy knew that, and they weren't
the men to ask us to risk the safety
of the army for them. Never mind,
the riflemen said, with a faint smile,
the sisters will pick us up when it's
