Tells Of Taking German Flag.

Partisan officer of French rife
regiment gives to the Petit Troyen the
following account of the capture of the
first German flag:
The engagement of the French
troops with the Ninety-ninth brigade
OF Germans lasted from $3.50 a. m. to
8 at night.
THE artillery combat was terrible,
The French 75-millimeter guns made
havoc among the German horses and
then reduced the heavy German guns
to silence. The gunners were decim-
ated by the French fire and they aban-
doned their pieces. which fell into
French hands.
The German machine guns from a
church steeple continued to ravage the
French, but the church finally was de-
molished.
AT nightfall the French charged
the enemy's defense work with ire
sistible energy and took them at the
point OF the bayonet. They estab-
lished themselves there for the night.
in this action the Fifth company
Of the First battalion captured a Ger
man flag, with eight guns. 80 horses
and 537 prisoners. including ten off,

The Famous East End Characters
q London.

London. Emanuel Barnet, known a.
the Kosher King" one Of the famous
East End characters Of London, died
recently after remarkable career.
From . little shop In Hounsditch
which he opened nifty years ago he de-
veloped an enormous organization for
the supply Of kosher food to the Lon
don Jews. and supplies not only the
orthodox poor but the orthodox rich
with meat and poultry killed accord
ing to the requirements OF the Hebrew
code. Practically the whole Of the
high class West end trade In kosher
food was In his hands. The West end
hospices entertaining orthodox Jews
had always looked upon Barnet a. .
solution Of delicate points OF dietetics.
Barnet was known to Petticoat
Lane as uncle Nanny" and was well
known for his generosity to his poorer
co-religionists. While his firm was
converted into limited company. he
was always the central figure. In this
capacity he made practice Of se-
curing the best beef animals on the
market. and many of the winners at
Smithheld show have in times past
borne the additional ticket sold to
Mr.. Barnet"
Among the more renowned Jewish
delicacies his Kosher ham," an imita-
ton Of the real pig, but made OF
smoked shoulder of mutton. and the
celebrated "kosher aauaa Rea +" alaO
free from pork. were notable lines.
Another was the penny pie" which
sold to the enormous quantity Of Ave
hundred dozen a day.
In the days when the unexpected
landing Of host OF Jewish immigrants
strained the resources Of the Jewish
benevolent committees Uncle Nanny"
helped materially by sending neces-
sary supplies.

DOG PERFORMS WITH MASTER
Canine, Through Patient Kindness Of
Owner, Does Act on Two
Tight Ropes.

San Diego. Gala strange sight at
a beach near San Diego was the per-
Torrance of dog on two tight ropes
suspended above the waters edge.
Through patience and kindness his
master had trained the animal to ven
ture out upon the slender supports
and, by carefully edging his way along.
to traverse the distance between the
posts. The man, who was barefoot.
continually spoke to the dog. encour-
aging him. and the two proceeded
slowly but safely to their destination.

backed their steeds into the closely
packed ranks of the spectators. threat
-ening them with uplifted swords and
shilling the momentary revolt.
At one point OF the march lame
hawker offered flowers for sale to the
soldiers. AS he held up his posies a
captain Of hussars. by movement of
his steed. sent the poor wretch sprawl
ing and bleeding In the dust Then
from the crowd French. woman, her
heart scorning fear. cried out: you
brute" so that all might hear.
Bear In Belgium Uniform.
There was one gross pleasantly. too.
perpetrated by a gunner. who led
along a bear. evidently he pet of his
battery. which was dressed In the full
regalia of Belgian general. The bear
was evidently intended to represent
the king. He touched his cooked hat
at inervals to his keeper
This particularly irritated the Bel
CLANS. but they wisely abstained from
any overt manifestation or any un-
pleasant feature OF behavior.
The soldiers as they passed tore re-
peatedly at the national colors. which
every Belgian lady now wears on her
breast.
Refuse Gold In Payment.
A more pleasant incident was wheA
a party of Uhlans clamored for admit.
lance at villa on the Louvain road.
They disposed of a dozen bottles Of
wine and bread and meat. The nom
commissioned officer in command
asked what the charge was and offered
some gold pieces in payment. The
money was refused.
Near the steps of st. Gudule party
of officers of high rank seated In a
motor car. confiscated the stock OF
the news vendors. After greedily
scanning the sheets they burst into
loud laughter.
March Forward for Hours.
Hour after hour. hour after hour.
the kaiser's legions marched into
Brussels streets and boulevar5s
Some regiments made fine appear
ance. 1t was notably so in the case
of the Sixty-sixth, Fourth and Twenty
sixth Not one man of these regi-
ments showed any sign Of excessive
fatigue after the grueling night OF
marching. and no doubt the order to
break step was designedly given to
impress the onlookers with the pow.
ers Of resistance Of the German SOL
diers.
The railway stations, the post office.
and the town hall were at once closed.
The national flag on the latter was
pulled down and the German emblem
hoisted in its place. Practically all
the shops were closed and the blinds
drawn on most of the windows.

Druggists Meet In Detroit
The dificulty OF securing crude
drugs which heretofore have bean i'm
ported from Germany and other coun-
tries now at war. the possibility Of
substitutes and OF producing many Of
these drugs In America loom large In
the discussions which are to be heard
by the American Pharmaceutical az
ISOLATION.
The annual meeting Of the associa-
ton opened with session Of the ex-
ecutive council in the convention hall
Of the Hotel Pontchartrain. Detroit.
The convention IL being held in con-
junction with that of the Michigan
State Pharmaceutical association and
the Michigan Pharmaceutical Travel
ers' association.
For manufactured drugs the United
States leads the world. Nbut crude
drugs and chemicals. cannot be pro-
duced here In competition with the
cheaper labor of Germany or other
foreign countries. Hence when the
imports from these countries ceased
the United States found itself with
very limited supplies or none at all.
This Is situation which has been dis.
cussed from day to day In the news
papers.
Advances in prices on these drugs
have brought forth condemnation
from the public in many cases. or
ficers of the American Pharmaceutical
been made only on drugs which have
association assert that advances have
been secured with difficulty at ad-
vanced prices and that prices had not
been advanced on supplies on hand
purchased before advances went into
effect.
"Disabuse the minds of the public
of the idea that either the jobber or
the retailer has advanced prices to
make a greater profit. In many lines
1t. has now come to the point of get
ting no supplies at all. For instance
carbolic acid, which comes from Ger
many and England, bandages and ely
cerin are among the articles the en-
tire output of which is now kept al
home. There was small factory
manufacturing carbolic acid in this
country, but 1t could not compete with
the German labor
Crude drugs are produced SO much
cheaper abroad that there has beer
no attempt at raising the plants here
However, the pharmacy department.
of the University of Michigan, the
Minnesota university and the Univer
sity of Wisconsin are experimenting
extensively with such plants and have
established that digitalis and bella
donna can be cultivated In this coun
try, which Is four or five times a.
efficient as the plant grown in Ger
many. II we can raise these plants
with this increased value we can af
ford to pay the higher-priced Ameri
can labor to grow them"
This is one of the interesting topics
which will be discussed in the profes
sional sections of the convention
Then there are legislative and educa
tional sections which will take up mat
tiers within their province. and com
mercial section, where cost and price
are considered.
