Brave SOLDIERS OVERCOME BIG
ODDS and ESCAPE WAITING FOE

PARIS, Dec. 1.-(By Mail to
New York)-After fifty-eight
days of adventure and suffering
within the German lines a lieu
tenant and private of the 14Oth
infantry have managed to rejoin
their regiment. They are all
that succeeded in escaping out of
a total of forty officers and three
hundred men of a detachment cut
off their regiment.
Although surrounded by over
whelming hostile troops the de-
tachment resolved to fight their
way out, IL possible, and they set
to work the very same night. The
Germans were on the watch for
them, and although they charged
again and again the little band
was borne back by sheer weight
of numbers, so that when the
roll-call was gone over only
eighty men were left to answer to
their names.
They kept up a running fight
all next day, and into the night as
we'll, by which time they had
been reduced to 81 all told. They
took to the woods, and for a
month managed to subsist on
roots and fruit. Now and again
some of them would venture out
to forage, usually with disastrous
results, for the whole country
side was swarming with Germans.

out its kitchen in the middle of
q street when the place was being
bombarded.
They cooked their dinner as
quietly as If in barracks, and
were eating it laughing and jok-
ing. A shell fell, however, plump
in the middle of the party, killed
four, and wounded dozen more.
Do you think they took shelter
after that? Not a bit! They
merely moved about a hundred
yards further down the street
and finished their meal as If
nothing had happened.
when we take a village we
never dare go boldly in, as the
Germans always have picked
lot of snipers behind. We have
to blow holes in the walls and
take house by house, as well as
driving tunnels underneath the
roads to get across without being
shot at.
But here again our men will
never use the underground, and
whilst the bullets are whizzing
like hail you will see man stroll
across the street with a kettle
full of hot water or some such
thing wanted on the other side.
Other Brave Ones

seem to hear much about is the
work of the stretcherbearers.
They do more dangerous jobs
than anybody, and are at it night

I'VE never pick up our wound

have to bury them sometimes
and always take their names and
numbers, when frequently there
is nothing much else left of a

near to the firing line In northern
France as the ordinary non-com-
Blatant can get.
A new phase of the war has ar
rived. Daily fighting In the
trenches and from village to vii

new phase is that fighting is now
a business. The soldiers work
on the firing line is a job. Nobody

They would all have died of
starvation had they not provi-
dentially happened upon some
woodcutters, who henceforth kept
them supplied with food of a
sort.
They were unable to obtain
any change of clothes, and were
reduced to rags owing to their
constant exposure. The increas-
ing cold also began to tell on
them and halfway through Oc-
tober three out of four of them
were on the verge of collapse.
Lieut.. Bernard and Private Mo-
rand de Jouffrey decided to make
one last dash for freedom, and
the others to give themselves up,
which they did the next day, after
burying what was left of their
arms and ammunition. The two
made across country and after
three days continuous walking
stumbled into the French lines
almost without a shred to their
backs, no boots, and after eating
nothing for forty-eight hours.
1t took them barely a fortnight
to pick up their strength once
more, and they are now back at
the front, the lieutenant with the
Cross of the Legion of Honor on
his breast, and the private with

The reason Is that the oriental is the

enough, he makes her like il. But in

reverses the custom OF lovemaking.
The woman becomes the sutton; man
