Algerians, With Fixed
Bayonets, Fearlessly
Charge Through Fire

Paris, Sept. 9. S.45 A. MA feature
of Mondays action was another heroic
charge by the Algerian rifiemen. AT
a critical moment ii became necessary
to carry a certain position and after
the artillery had prepared the way,
1000 Algerians with fixed bayonets
charged the position at double quick
without fiinching under the storm OF
shot and shells.
They never stopped until they reach
the trenches where they wrought fear
full carnage. Many pieces of artillery
and machine guns were captured.
After the Algerians came, the infan-
try and artillery and the wedge driven
into the line forced the Germans to
retreat. They were pursued by the
same Algerians who inflicted the terri
bile losses.

WHERE Is THE WASP
A CENTURY-oLD MYSTERY.

The subject of war being the
main topic of discussion at pres
ent serves to recall a "reminiscences
of United States and British war
fare strange and interesting.
A mystery of the sea which has
never been solved, and which
must always remain an unwritten
chapter of naval history, en-
shrouds the disappearance Of the
United States sloop-of-war hun
dred years ago. 1t has been Just
n little more than a century since
the Wasp received her baptism
Of fire and emerged from her first
battle. A few months later the
gallant vessel vanished from the
face of the deep and was heard
of no more. Doubtless her rot
ting remains lie upon the ocean :
floor, a tomb for all the brave
men who shared her fate.
The Wasp-although she was
not the first American warship of
that name-was built at New
buryport, and was launched ear
ly in 1914. She was staunch
and able craft, and a fine exam
pie of the workmanship of the
Massachusetts shipbuilders of
century ago. She mounted %
guns, and seemed to her fond
builders, TO be equal to the task
of living up to her name and in
flicted serious "stings" 10 the
enemy, the British.
1t was on May Day, 1914, that
the Wasp put out to sea on her
first and final cruise. In com
mand was Capt. Johnston Blake
ley, lrish-born and pugnacious,
always spelling for a fight. The
commander was then in his thir-
ty-third year. He had come TO A.
merica as a lad, and at Is entered
Uncle Sans infant navy as mid
shipman. When the second war
between the United States and
Great Britain broke out he was
placed in command Of the Enter
prise and his ability and gallan-
try won for him the command Of
the Wasp when the vessel Of taat
name was ready to put 30 sea.
Under Capt. Blakeley were 1860
men, mostly young, bat season
I'd sea fighters for all that and
willing to follow the gallant Irish
man to Ellen Back, wherever that
lady may have been.
The Wasp, cheered on her way
by the patriotic landsmen and sea
men of Portsmouth, set gallantly
out for the enemy S country. On
a June day a hundred years ago
the Wasp found herself on the
British coast. On June 2S the
British brig Reindeer sought to
teach the daring invader lesson.
Calamity. as British tarS have
ever fought, they engaged the in
truder, but it did not take long
10 decide the issue, and the Rein
deer became the Wasps first
prize. After a couple of months
spent in harassing British ship
ping, the Wasp became involved
in another battle and captured an
other British brig, the Avon. In
October the Wasp stopped and
boarded the Swedish brig, Adams,
and took from her two American
sailors who were being taken 10
England from Brazil. That was
the last exploit of the Wasp.
Since that day she has never been
heard from.
An earlier Wasp Of the Ameri-
ran navy was built at Washing
lon in 1905 and was commanded
by Capt. Jacob Jones. In Octo-
Der 1872. she captured the British
brig Frolic. and was herself cap
Iured by the British ship Pole
tiers.
