Woman, As Soldier,
Killed in a Duel
Amazes Belgian Adversary When
She Leaves a Last Message
For Her Husband.

LONDON. Sept l3.-The strange story
of a German woman who disguised
herself as a man. fought In the Ger
man trenches and then engaged in a
death duel with a Belgian soldier, was
brought here tonight from northern
France.
A Belgian soldier found himself en-
gagged in a death combat with a
"Boche" in narrow communication
trench near st. Julien. His adversary
was taller and heavier. and skillful in
welding knife. They spared and
danced until the German executed a
thrust that cut the Belgian's check.
The Belgian closed in. rushed his heav-
ier opponent to the ground and stabbed
quickly to the heart.
4 sigh escaped the fallen Germans
lips; then the startling words:
''rell my husband l died happy"
The Belgian bent over his adversary
In amazement. Her hair had been
closely cropped. her form was mascu-
lire. and for moment he refused %
believe the dead soldier a woman. But
in her uniform was her husbands ad-
dress and a few personal belongings.
He gathered these up and saw to X
that they We're sent to GeCmany
How the woman evaded the German
military authorities in passing for a
man Is a mystery.

his ecclesiastical studies to join the Tooth
Pennsylvania Volunteers. being assign
ed to Company B. Although not Of mil
itary age. he was allowed to enlist be-
cause of his size and development.
The Tooth Pennsylvania Volunteers
were known as ''Roundheads." They
derived this appellation from the fact
that they were the descendants OF tho
Covenanters who came to this country
from England. The Covenanters were
Scotch-Irish. They fought with clean
shaved heads and opposed the aristoc-
racy, the members OF which wore flow
Ing wigs. The 1oOth was assigned to the
Ninth Army Corps. known as Burn
sides Geography Class" because OF its
being shifted around repeatedly. Father

MORE GUNS TO GUARD
THE PANAMA CANAL
Plans Completed for Putting High
Power Batteries On To-
boga Island.

PANAMA. Sept. 13.-Army officers.
without any public announcement. have
completed plans for the strengthening
of the canal defense by placing high
power motors and other guns on Ia
boea Island. twelve miles out in the
Pacific.
This new battery Is Of twofold in
terest. Two years ago the fortifica-
ton OF Taboga Island was proposed
as necessary to prevent a hostile fleet
using It as a shelter from which to des-
troy the present forts, but the military
authorities held that the guns on the
present forts could prevent this.
The present plan to fortify the island
after two years delay also suggests
whether after such a delay II will be
realized that the canal dredges with
out the assistance OF steam shovels are
insufficient to prevent such canal
blockades as the recent one which may
occur again at any moment.
