 Paris.-Although regimental stand ards are no longer carried in the fore front of the battle, modern methods of warfare have not altogether eliminat- ed those picturesque fights for the flag dear to the heart of the novelist and painter. Most of the French and German regiments carry their colors with them, and there have been sev- eral desperate fights for these silken trophies, the fiercest recorded being that for the standard of the Sixth Pomeranian regiment, which now hangs in the chapel of the Invalides for the inspection of French sight seers. The story of its capture is told by French dragoon whose regiment brought back the trophy.
 Under heavy shell fire" he said, 'our guns supporting the dragons had to move to another position, and the enemy, thinking that we were in re- treat, hurried their advance, the Sixth Pomeranians coming up at the double. Suddenly three large shrapnel shells from their own guns burst over the regiment, doing terrible execution and throwing the whole column into con fusion.
 Tt was the right moment for us, and the dragoons charged home with lances The Germans rallied and formed into square, but the volleys they fired were not sufficient to break the charge, and we rode over them. Trampled On by the horses, sabered and transf1xed by the lances, the Ger mans fled in wild confusion.
 One little group, however, was ral- lied by it's officers near small copse, We did not realize the motive of their resistance until we caught sight Of a gold and purple flag futtering in the breeze. They had rallied to save their flag We rode up to them and shouted a demand for surrender, but the only reply was a volley which sent 20 horses cantering riderless back to our lines. Our officers ordered a charge in scattering formation, and the gal lant little group was ridden down.
 The flag fell from the hands of a German captain who had received a terrible saber gash across the head. It disappeared for a moment in a tur- moil of horses and struggling men, and then we saw it again waved de fantly by a German sergeant, who with three other men fought them selves free. They retreated shoulder to shoulder few yards, and then, with his back to a tree, the old ser geant was left alone with the flag. But he sank to the ground moment later his chest transfixed by a lance. He was a brave man.
 When we brought the flag back we saw in golden letters across, its torn and blood-stained folds the words, 'Champigny 1S71.'"
