Allies Hopeful.
Belief in their final success appears
TO have taken a firm hold on the allies.
All the men display confidence In their
commanders. who are doing everything
possible to spare their troops. The
allied soldiers are fighting with vigor.
They often perform marches which
seem beyond human power.
This is made evident often when
small detachments are acting apart
from the main bodies. French dra-
goons recently were entrusted with
the task of covering the passage OF a
river by artillery. They met a body
Of German hussars in a clash. Both
sides charged simultaneously. and the
melee lasted ten minutes. during
which the men slashed and pierced
each other with swords and lances
while the officers revolvers cracked.
Finally the hussars broke ranks and
galloped OF. leaving many of their men
on the field. The dragons also suf-
fered severely. but attained their OBJ

for their comrades.
