INDIAN WARS REFOUGHT
BY UNITED STATES ARMY

Under the direction of Lieutenant
General Nelson A. Miles and Colonel
William F. Cody, dear to the hearts
of hundreds of thousands the world
over as Buffalo Bill, the Indian fights
through which he passed as a chief
scout with United States troops were
re enacted last summer on the scenes
of the original engagements.
The war department loaned United
States troops for the purpose and the
interior department permitted the mo
bilization of Indians, and then vir-
tually all survivors on both sides of
the conflict were gathered into a
council to make the scenes historical
ly correct. The result is a set of films
almost uncanny in their realism. The
realism was carried even to the point
of having officers of general rank "ac-
tive and retired" re-enact the parts
they played in battles as young lieu
| tenants. Major General Miles is seen
reviewing again on the plains of
South Dakota the victorious troops
following the Battle of Wounded
Knee, the last battle of the great In
dian uprising. And gathered around
/ him are many who sat their horses
during the review twenty-five years
before. In an earlier picture, Colonel
| H. G. Sickles, now in command Of the
Twelfth cavalry, is seen scouting on
his stomach through the sagebrush, in
company with Buffalo Bill, watching
wagon train which was about to be
attacked by band Of Cheyennes-a
part he played as a young lieutenant,
and upon the identical spot.
Many national figures appear in the
presentation. Besides Lieutenant Gen
eral Miles are Major General Jesse
M. Lee, Brigadier General Charles
King, Brigadier General Frank Bald
win, Brigadier General Marion Maus

happened, and they, too, raised them
selves one by one to have a peep.
Benoist was busy all the time and
shot seven more of them in quick sue
cession before the episode closed.
Now it so happened that only three
days before Benoist had shot no few
er than nine of the enemy in a very
similar way. And that explains how
he is one of the most popular men in
his regiment and how he has been
christened "Long Carbine."
When the history of this war comes
to be written it will probably be found
that the deeds of the aviators will
furnish one of it's most glorious chap
ters.
An action had been in progress from
daybreakin the western theatre of war.
The French artillery had been playing
havoc in the German lines, yet con-
stantly, as the enemy staggered un-
der the effects of the French shell!
fire, as persistently did they receive
reinforcements and advance again to
the attack. And so it came about that
in the face of one of these fresh as
saults, more violently pushed home
than its predecessors, the French
troops were ordered to retire slight
ly. Presently, to their horror, they
observed one of their own aeroplanes
soaring calmly, in the MINDLESS after
noon, at dangerously low altitude
over the enemy's lines.
"Those fellows must be mad" said
the French soldiers to one another, as
they set themselves to watch the fate
of the aeroplane carrying the tri-
color.
They had not long to wait. High in
the air rapidly rose three German
aeroplanes, ready to encompass the
doom of the audacious aviators, who
seemed to court disaster so lightly
while at the same time the Kaiser's
troops, drawn on by the feigned re
tirement of the French line, advanced
boldly. The day was theirs and they
seemed to know it, Then, all of a sud
den, the German aeroplanes began tc
maneuver swiftly above the French
machine, the occupants of which
seemed to be quite unconscious OF
their danger. Each of the three craft
in the upper air dropped bomb ir
turn, and the fate Of the officers il
the French machine was sealed. In g
series Of loud explosions down came
the French aeroplane like log.
But midway in it's descent strange
thing happened. The car of the ma
chine seemed to fall bodily out, anc
tongues of angry fire were splitting ou
in all directions, carrying dismay int
the German ranks below.
Only then was the mystery of tn
foolhardy airmen explained. The ca

Sharpshooter
Wins a Medal

(By the Special Correspondent of the
international News Service and the
London Daily Telegraph.)
Paris, Dec. 22.-Among the latest
recipients of the military medal-the
highest honor which the French au-
thorities bestow for prowess on the
battlefield-is non-commissioned Of
ficer named Benoist, of the Sixteenth
Regiment of the Line, who has won
the coveted reward by remarkable
feat of craftsmanship. According to
the official report, Benoist, with nine
teen cartridges, placed seventeen Ger
mans hors de combat at 100 meters"
Benoist, a retired non commissioned
officer, had engaged for the duration
of the war, and he was, as we learn
without surprise, an old marksman of
international celebrity. His latest
feat, which finally brought him to the
notice of his military superiors, took
this form. His fame as a marksman
was universally recognized in his reg
iment, and, naturally enough, he was
set apart as sharpshooter
Late one afternoon, willie advan-
tageously posted in barn, Benoist
observed from the loophoule through
which he was prepared to take aim, a
mark that deeply interested him.
There, in front of the German
trenches, little more than 100 yards
away, lay haversack. The sight fas-
cinated him as marksman, because
he presently discovered that behind the
haversack lay a German, sharp
shooter like himself, who was taking
effective potshots at the French
lines.
The Germans cover was perfect,
and Benoist's fingers itched on his
trigger. If only the haversack were
out Of the way! One Of Benoist's COM
rades, a corporal, instantly volunteered
to remove the haversack, or, at all
events, to try. With that object he
crept around by the gardens of the
village across which the Germans and
Frenchmen were watching each other,
and actually succeeded in grasping the
haversack and pulling it sharply to-
ward him.
That was Benoist's moment. Abb
sorbed in his own craftsmanship, as
an expert rifleman usually is, the Ger
man was puzzled to know how his
haversack had been removed and got
up to discover what was amiss. AS he
did so, Benoist fired from his perch
and hit the. German full in the fore.

my's ranks, the French pushed for

the morrow, the official communique
contained the phrase:
"On our right flank, some progress"
