Rome.-An incident of the battle be-

Esternay and Sezanna is thus de-
scribed in Paris dispatch to the Cor
rierre Della Sera.
"A German battery, which had been
caught in a swamp, and which for
this reason had been cut off from the
main force, managed finally to free
itself from the mud. Instead of sur
rendering it continued singlehanded
the fight against the advancing
French. The German artillerymen
beat their assailants of with ter
rife fire, which the French artillery
tried in vain TO silence. Until late in
the evening the battery continued its
deadly work until its ammunition be-
came exhausted and the men were
either dead or wounded. When ] ar
rived the brave crew had already been
buried and the guns still rested on
trees which the men had placed un-
der the wheels in order that the pieces
might not disappear in the mud"

had taken cover in a ditch along the
road, offered resistance to the very
last-the last dead Frenchman lay
three meters from the ditch. Then
the storm passed over them and killed
the last one. Stabbed through and
through with the bayonet, the German
soldiers lay against the embankment
in a row. Bent bayonets and broken
rifles spoke of the violence of the des,
perate struggle.
The first in the row was a ser
geant. 1t seemed that even in death he
still uttered commands. Another
