 Here" said the Frenchman, reaching over and taking the German by the left arm. He dragged the prisoner into the light.
 We saw then that his arm was not in the sling. Instead it hung limp and bloody, in a most gro- tecque position, for the great swollen fingers of what had once looked like human hand were in the mans coat pocket.
 "Take your hand out of your pocket" said the officer.
 The upper part of the prison- CTS arm twitched with the eff fort; his face writhed in pain. His arm was broken and he could not move the lower part of it.
 Bring doctor, ordered the officer. A Red Cross official came and gently lifted the ter rible swollen hand from the pocket and put it back into the sling. Then we saw the doc- tor put his own hand into the pocket and bring out five watch es and a small handful of French silver money.
 "Stolen from the dead" said the officer. ''No wonder he was trying to empty his pocket with that broken arm."
 The officer examined the watches and found they were all French.
 He doesn't belong in Red Cross hospital" said the officer. Take him to a cellar. It's fin ished for him."
 And the next morning, after z short court martial, he was shot

On rhe Battlefield of Soissons, Oct. 3.-(By Mail to New York; When l was almost at the door of the house where 1 am stop ping, this evening, l saw, in the glare of the lamplight from the doorway French soldier with a German prisoner. The soldier was looking into the lighted hallway and the Ger man stood dejectedly, with his head down and his right arm in a sling.
 A Swiss fugitive was with me, young man from the devastat- ed town of Senlis, and he asked permission of the soldier to speak to the prisoner.
 Don't let the officer see you talking when he comes out of the house." said the French iman.
 At the first words of the Swiss the prisoner smiled with relief, and, steping aside in the dark ness, seated himself wearily on a stone. He said his arm was broken. In the light had seen that the sleeve was torn and bloody.
 'I'm suffering terribly" he said to the Swiss. My hand is swollen to twice the size and I am in terrible pain. was caught because l was too weak and sick at the stomach to get away. Now, instead of taking me to the hospital they bring me here. 1 am very much wor- ried."
 Don't worry" said the Swiss. "The French are very kind to their prisoners. They will take you to the hospital and get your arm well and then they will make you do easy work"
 As the two men talked, 1 mo- ticed the injured arm moving in 1 the bandage. It seemed to me that the sling hung loosely from the neck instead of being weight ed down with the wounded arm.
 The French soldier was worri- edly keeping his eye on the open doorway, waiting for the officer he had been sent to ask for My Swiss frind, unnoticed, talk ed on, trying to assure the young German giant that no harm would come to him.
 We've seen. hundreds of Ger man prisoners in this town" fsaid the would-be-comforter, "and not one of them has been harmed by the French. I've hospitals are full of wound ed Germans, and you'll go to a hospital, too"
 "But why do they bring me here?" asked the German, al- most in a whimper. ''I'm afraid Jhey'll shoot me. Help me if you can," he pleaded.
 Then I saw a thing that made Ime give a half yell.
 Look out!" think I shouted, "His arm is out of the bandage.' I thought the German was

 Clean up the bowels and keep them clean" is the advice of all physicians, because they realize the danger resulting from habitual con stipation Do not delay too long, but begin proper curative measures.
 Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets are new remedy for this old complaint, and a great improvement over the cathartics you have been using in the past. They taste like candy and work like a charm. A trial will convince you.

GERMANS DRIVEN OVER USER
Most OF Them Pushed Across EN-.
battled River.

London, Oct. 27.-A Central
News dispatch from northwestern
France says the Germans. in great
part, were driven back across the
fser yesterday. French infantry
aided by monitors, accomplished the
task.
When the Belgians undertook the
defense of the Yser," the dispatch
continues. they held 1t for a week
Then by sheer weight OF artillery
and men the Germans pushed them
back, but not before they had paid
the full price OF the temporary
gain.
AT least two army corps faced
the Belgians. Their object was to
force them right into Franco and
thus turn the allies right. 1t cost
the Belgians a thousand casualties
to prevent this. 1t is reported on
reliable authority that the German
emperor has placed six army corps
In this part Of the field. Their losses
have been frightful; their Successes
virtually nil.
Towards the end OF last week the
situation was doubtful; now there
Is no reason to fear failure. On the
contrary first class success may be
looked for, which will place the Ger
mans finally on the defensive in the
west Great progress is being made
in the reorganization of the Belgian
army"
