The story Of the stirring incident
has been told to me by Henri Roger, a
young soldier Of the Fifth infantry,
who saw It from the trenches and who
is now lying wounded in hospital here.
During one Of the engagements
last week on the River Aisne, the NTH
was holding an ~intrenched position
and was faced In the distance by a
strong force Of the enemy. To the

"A road ran beside the wood In
which the enemy lay hidden, and
along II a force OF French infantry was
seen TO be advancing. How we're they
to be saved from the ambush into
which they we're marching? That vas
the problem, and It was a diflcult me.
Every time the French troops In
the trenches endeavored to signal to
their oncoming comrades. hidden Ger

be almost desperate; every moment
the intrenched French soldiers ex-
pected t hear the hideous swish OF
the Maxims moving down their un-
%suspecting comrades.
Suddenly, however, something hap
pened which attracted the attention
Of the French and German trenches.
From the wood where the English lay
hidden a cyclist dashed-the English,
too. had seen the danger, and a cyclist
had been ordered to carry a message
Of warning to the advancing French
column, several hundreds strong.
THE cyclist bent low in his saddle
and darted forward; he had moi gone
a hundred yards before he fell, killed
by a well-aimed German bullet. A
minute later another cyclist appeared,
only. in a second or two, to share his
comrades fate.
Then a third-the thing had to be

but on he went over the fre-swept
zone. The Frenchmen held their
breath as they watched the gallant
cyclist speeding toward the French
column.
THE Frenchmen could not resist a
loud 'Hurrah!' when they saw the
daring cyclist dismount on reaching
the officer in command Of the troops
which he had dared death to save.
THE officer heard the message and

gave an order or two instantly, and
turned to the Englishman.
Then was there a fine but simple
battle picture which should live.
The French officer saluted the gal.

Then, with a simple movement, took
the 'medaille milltalre'-the Victoria
Cross OF France-from his own tunic
and pinned II on the coat OF the Eng
