GENERAL SAW DEATH COMING
Eindlay Gave Belongings to Chaplain;
Remained In Danger Zone Against
Protest.

London, England.-A correspondent
OF the Daily Mail in France describes
the death of General Neil Douglas
Ffndlay of the royal artillery as fol
lows:
when at dawn the British advance
continued toward Scissors the enemy
was fighting an exceptionally fierce
rear guard action. A terrible shell fire
was directed against our artillery un-
der General Findlay, temporarily situ-
ated in a valley by the village of Prise
1t seemed a matter of moments when
we should have to spike our guns, and
General Findlay saw the urgency for
action.
Boys his voice echoed down the
line, we are going to get every gun
into position Then, deliberately. the
general approached a reglmental chap
lain kneeling beside a gunner.
Here are some of my personal be.
longings, chaplain he said. See that
they don't go astray.'
"One by one our guns began to blaze
away and the general had a word of en-
couragement and advice for every man.
In vain his staff tried to persuade him
to leave the danger zone. Our range
was perfect the German fire Stacked
and died away and with a yell our men
prepared to advance. The outburst
came too soon. One parting she'll ex-
ploding in contact with Findlay's horse,

ed upon the face of a soldier, the Sikh
has il. Other soldiers may be as
brave, or may fight more tenaciously,
or die more willingly, but for simple
tierceness Of personal appearance all
medals go TO the Sikh.
He is so fierce to look at that won
der his English officer can calmly face
him without fear. You have read how
trainloads of these East Indian troops
are hurrying across Canada to show
their fierce faces to the Germans.
Does not Caesar relate that the Ro-
man soldiers were frightened by the
terrible looks of the early German
tribes? Now the boot goes upon the
other foot.
A Sikh-and I've seen many regi-
ments Of them on their native heath
is a tall man with black hair and
long black beard. The beard is what
makes him look so fierce, because he
plaits it into two thick braids and
draws these back of his ears, where
they are tied.
II you think that doesn't make
soldier look fierce, you make a sad
error, which one glance at him would
correct.
The Sikhs are Hindus, and so strict
are their religious beliefs that all the
food they eat must be especially pre-.
pared according to their own rites.

The lieutenant and fifty men of his
company were reconnoitering ten
miles in advance of the main body on
the Oise river when they encountered
5000 Germans. The Frenchmen took
refuge in nearby woods and. from this
shelter fired volleys until only thirteen
of their detachment remained alive,
and Of these four were wounded. The
party then crept away.
The Germans hesitated to attack the
woods for fear of trap.

Wounded French Soldiers Tell Story

London.-Geoffrey Young, a CORE

fighting All told practically the same
story.
1T began at six o'clock with heavy
shell fire." a soldier related to him.
There was a short interval at which
it stopped at about $3.50 every day.
Then in the night often came the
charges, and one night l couldn't
count them. 1t was awful-kill, kill,
kill, and still they came on, showing
one another over on to US"
No man but had his story Of com
rades on either side shot or smashed
of the shock of shells day after day,
and of the perpetual groaning Of the
wounded as they lay in the wet
trenches.
Seven days and nights Of it and
some nights only an hours sleep; 1t
was Just absolute hell"
No one found another word to de-
scribe it, and the sight of the men
bore it out Muddied to the eyes,
wet, often with blood caked on them,
many were suffering from the curl
GUS aphasia produced by continued
trouble and the concussion of shells
bursting. Some were dazed, and
speechless; some deafened, and yet no
face wore the terrible animal war
look.

Triumph of Mutes,

It was but the other day when the
triumph of the deaf and dumb faced
me. 1t was a ship just starting from
Southampton to Canada. You know

men, deaf and dumb, talking quietly

the unheard tumult.--London Chron

BLOOMF |ELD THE
RECOUNT WINNER
Chief Justice Gummere Will
Sign Order Declaring Sad
Ter the Victor.

Frederick Sadler who was elected
mayor of Bloomfield, according to
the original returns, by a plurality
of forty-nine votes. was also the
victor in the recount finished by the
County Board of Elections last night.
His plurality over Charles \. Hun
gerford, his Fusionist opponent, was
increased by the recount, to sew
enty-three. Sadler Is a Republican
and will succeed Henry Hauser, the
present mayor, who is also a Repub-
lican.
Chief Justice Gummere will not
have to pass on any ballots from this
recount because there were only five
referred to him and If they were
counted for Hungerford the result
would not be changed. He will mere
~ sign the order declaring Sadler
elected.
Hungerford will have to bear the
cost of the recount because he was
the contestant and the results show
ed that the original returns were
accurate. The cost will probably be
in the neighborhood of $3.50, the
amount OF the bond filed by the con-
testant before the recount started.
This is the first time in more than
year that the county mas not mac
to bear the cost of the recount. In
the Lehlbach and the Del Tufo re-
counts the contestant was victorious
and had his bond returned to him.
In the IIahn-S cheininger recount
the result will be in doubt until the
chief justice passes on referred bal
lots Saturday night.
The Fifth ward of West Orange
will be recounted Saturday night.
The Township of Cedar Grove will
be taken up Monday. The recount
