CHAPTER TX.

The Baptism OF Fire.
AL the landscape in front OF Fra
casse's company seemed to have been
deserted; no moving figures we're any
where In sight; no sign OF the enemy's
infantry.
Family the town clock was heard
striking the hour. From eight to nine
and nine to ten Fracasse's men wait
ed; waited until the machine was
ready and Westerling should throw II
the clutch; waited until the troops
were in place for the first move before
he hurled his battalions forward
They did not know how the captain al
their back received his orders; they
only heard the note OF the whistle
with a command familiar to trained
instinct on the edge of anticipation. Il
released spring In their nerve-cen
tiers. They responded as the wheels
respond when the throttle is opened
Jumping to their feet they broke into
a run, bodies bent, heads down, like
the peppered silhouette that faced
Westerlings desk. What they had
done repeatedly In drills and maneu
vers they were now doing In war, me
chemically as marionettes.
Come onl The bullet is not made
that can get mel Come on!" cried the
giant Eugene Aronson.
Nearly all felt the exhilaration OF
movement In company. Then came
the sound that generations had drilled
for without hearing; the sound that
summons the imagination of man in
the thought Of how he will feel and
act when he hears it; the sound that
is everywhere like the song snatches
of bees driven whizzing through the
air.
That's It! We're under frel We're
under fret" flashed q crooked light
ming recognition OF the sound through
every brain.
There was no sign of the enemy;
no telling where the bullets came
from.
Whish-whishl Th-ipp-whingl The
refrain gripped Peterkin's imagination
with an unseen hand. He seemed to
be suffocating. He wanted to throw
himself down and hold his hands in
front OF his head. While Pilzer and
Aronson were not thinking. only run
ming, Peterkin was thinking with the
rapidity Of a man falling from q high
building. He was certain only that
he was bound to strike ground.
AN inch Is az good as mile!" He
recollected the captains teaching
"only one of a thousand bullets fired
in war ever kills q man"-but he was
certain that he had heard a million
already. He looked around to find
that he was still keeping up with Gu
gene and felt the thrill OF the bravery
of fellowship at sight OF the giants
flushed. confident face reveling in the
spirit Of a charge. And then, Just

men and women, virtually the entire
force of stewards and stewardesses8
aboard the American liner KroOnland,I
were arrested today by immigration
officers and a warrant was served on

ton of the alien contract labor law.
The entire complement Of stewards
and stewardesses sixty-nine and eight

agreement, to the Kroonland, thus
violating the law.
Conviction Of the charge carries with
1t a penalty of 81 200 fine for each alien
employed. In this case the maximum
fine, on conviction. would be $4,000.
George w. Moore, the officer making
the arrest, said the government plan
ned to send the men and women to
Ellis island temporarily and would de.
port most Of them, retaining few a.
witnesses.

Paris, April 14.-The real name oi
the man known as Raymond Swoboda
now on trial before court martial on
charges Of arson and espionage. is
Raymond Ruff Schwind, it was devel
oped at the hearing yesterday, accord.
ing to the Journal The prisoner,
whose arrest resulted from the inves.
tigation of the fire aboard the steam
ship La Touraine, answered without
cessation question asked by Captain
Julian In an effort to establish his
identity. This was the most important
point brought out during the exami-
nation.
Schwind, declaring the charges
against him baseless, complained of
the slow progress made in the investi.
cation and appeared disappointed be.
cause his lawyer was not permitted
to be present during the inquiry.
Schwind obtained an American pass
port by subterfuge, according to
the Figaro Knowing that the mu-
nicipal records OF San Francisco were
destroyed in the fire which followed
the earthquake, he is said to have in.
formed the embassy that he was born
in that city. Since it was impossible
to obtain proof OF this statement the
embassy accepted his word and issued
the passport. The paper says his con.
duct aroused suspicion and he was
under surveillance both in Paris and
New York.
A London business man is quoted
as asserting that he recognizes in
Schwind man once employed by him
as a German clerk who said he was
born in Bremen and that his father
was a German fiscal official.
