French Fall Into German Trap.
Paris, Aug. 2S.-A dispatch received
here from Bourges gives the recital OF
a French officer wounded in Lorraine.
He relates how the Germans were aid
ed by the local inhabitants who had
prepared for every eventuality.
The officials OF villages OF Lorraine
fell upon the necks of the French SOL
diers when they came into town and
greeted them as saviors. No sooner
had they done this than they would go
to the edge OF the village and hang
out French flags, big white sheets, etc,
to indicate To the enemy the exact po-
sition of the French soldiers.
The mayor Of one village tapped n
French field telephone wire for the
benefit OF the enemy, after having Of
fered room i'm his house for the in
stallation of the station. A local
schoolmaster corrected the range of
the Germans guns by moving the
hands of the church clock.
At Dieuse, the French were persuad-
ed that they would meet no opposi-
ton. Despite these assurances, how
ever, they came upon concrete trenches
filed with German troops and support
ed by quick firing guns. After they
had stormed the trenches with the
bayonet and were resting, they heard
the strains of Chopin's funeral march
played by n military band in the dis
tance. This music served as n pre-
lude to storm Of shells from a
masked battery.
