{ forTreasof. Hs'

Chalons-Sur- Marne.- "A Frenchman.
Alfred Durot by name. has been sen
fenced to death by court-martial for
treason.
During the battle which ragged
around Reims the French artillery, op-
Grating near the village of Puiseulx
was subjected to terrific lombard,
ment by the Germans, no matter how
often they changed their position. A
careful watch was kept, and 1t was
discovered that mile in front of the
French batteries a shepherd was feed
ing his flock, among which were five
snow-white goats.
The shepherd was arrested, and in
Quiries showed that during the Ger
man occupation of Puiseulx he was the
only inhabitant who had not been mo-
Tested, and that he had been given the
white goats whose presence was to
signal the position of the French
guns.
Durot, at his trial. admitted his
guilt.

TELLS OF DEED OF DARING
English sapper Describes Attempt to
Blow Up Bridge In Face OF
Germans.

London-A thrilling incident in the
wonderful retreat of the British from
Mons is described by Sapper Wells OF
the Royal Engineers, who passes light
~ over his own part in an extraordi-
nary act Of heroism.
Our officer asked for man to go
with him to blow up a bridge so that
the Germans could not follow US, and
went with him." said Wells.
well, to blow up bridge we use
gun-cotton and a wire fuse. 1t is safe
enough If you take your wire well
away, but this time it would not work.
Our men in running back had stepped
on the wire, and so we had to go near
er to the bridge and try again. Even
then it would not act, so the officer
said to me: Get out Of the way, Wells.
I said: No; I'll go with you We
were the only two on the bridge and
the Germans were shooting at us, but
our luck was in.
,''Well, we both lay down and fired
tea rounds at the gun-cotton with my
rifle and he did the same with a pistol
but it wouldn't work. If 1t had we
should both have gone with 1t, so you
see what a shave we had. We made g
dive back and got some more gun
cotton and were making to have an
ether go when an officer ordered III
back, saying 1t was no use trying"

GRABS RIFLE BALL
French Aviator Thinks 1t Is a
Strange Insect.
When High In the Air He Stretches
Out His Hand and Grasps What
to His Amusement Proves
to Be Bullet.

London.-A French aviator is re-
ported to have brought from the skies
q German rife bullet which he had
caught in his hand. The story goes
that he was flying at a height of about
seven thousand feet when he sudden
ly became aware Of a small black OBJ
ject close to his head. He thought it
was an insect Of some kind, and was
sufficient of an entomologist to realize
that a flying insect at such an alti-
tude was a curiosity. So he stretched
out his hand and grasped what to his
amazement proved to be q bullet.
He explained afterward that it was
evidently a rife bullet that had been
fired almost vertically and had
reached its utmost elevation. He
arrived. on his aeroplane just at the
moment when the bullet slowly turned
over and was about to fall again.
Looking for bullets in the air is a
new interest, and calculations based
on the known muzzle velocity of the
rifles are made as to the most favor
able attitudes. A wag suggests catch
bullets" as a new aerodrome game aft
er the war
The kite balloons" employed by
the Germans promptly became Ger
man sausages," in the language Of
Tommy Atkins. They are not first-rate
craft for observation, being stationary.
but they are not SO easy to bring down
as aeroplanes. THE sausage drive
therefore, provides good sport for
bomb troopers.
A story is told in the Aeroplane OF
an officer of high rank who had never
before been up in an aeroplane, and
who was taken up as an observer by
an English pilot Coming into the
fire zone the aeroplane was hit several
times and one of the contact cables
was cut through, rendering the tasH
of keeping the machine in hand al
most impossible. The pilot very skill
fully, however, managed to make 6
safe descent and to land within his
own lines.
Then his passenger, who had not II
the least understood what had hap
! pened, roundly abused him for his
cowardice When the situation was
explained, and he realized that hi
had had a narrow escape with hi:
life, he was duly apologize and crate
! full.
Some curious souvenirs are in pos
session of members of the corps. There
are, for example, altimeters, speed in
dicators and revolution indicators
pierced and smashed by bullets.

NURSES FACE DEATH
Women Work FearIessly Amid
Bursting of Shells.
Correspondent Describes Trip Into a
Burning Town to Rescue Wounded
Soldlers-GlrIs Take Risks
With Laughing Courage.
BY PHILIP GIBBS.

Furnes.-The staff of an English
hospital to which mobile column is
attached for field work has arrived
here with convoy of ambulances and
motor cars. This little party of doc
tors, nurses, stretcher-bearers and
chauffeurs has done splendid work in
Belgium.
Many Of them were in the siege of
Antwerp. Lady Dorothie Fielding, one
of Lord Denbigh's daughters, won
eyerybody's love by her plucky devo-
tion to duty in many perilous hours.
This girl takes all the risks with
laughing courage. She has been in
der fire in many hot skirmishes.
In defiance of bursting shells fly
ing column Of the hospital was ore-
! pairing to set out in search Of wound
ed men on the firing line under the
direction of Lieutenant De Brogville,
son Of the Belgian war minister. Lady
Dorothie Fielding and two other
nurses stood by their cars waiting
for the word.
De Brogvtlle invited me to accom-
pany the column In q car, which I

We set out from Fumes at noon.
We were asked to get into Dixmude,
about sixteen kilometers away. We
passed many refugees and German
prisoners. AS we approached within
two kilometers of Dixmude we heard
the boom Of the cannon and saw many
villages in flames. 81
Close to us, across the fields to- the
left, Belgian batteries were at work,
and rife fire came from many
trenches. We were between two fires
and Belgian and German shells came
screeching across our heads.
Farther down the road we left two
of the cars in charge of Lady Doro-
THE Fielding and her two nurses. Two
of the ambulances came on with our
light car. We went forward at what
seemed to me a crawl, shells bursting
around us now on all sides.
Then we came into Dixmude. II
was wrecked from end to end as
though by an earthquake.
Soon we had full load of wound
ed men. I put my head outside the
cover and gave the word to the chauf
feur to start back. AS did SO shrap
mel bullets came past my head an6
striking piece of iron work fattene6
out and fell at my feet.
There-was an incessant cannonadt
and crashing of buildings. Mitrail
leuses were at work now splitting out
bullets. Along country roads ths
fields were still being plowed by
shells In the half hour since we hat
left the town, Dixmude had burst int
flames and was great blazing torch
By this time there were five towns
blazing in the darkness. The enemy
bombardment was now terrific.

Belgian ambulances which had com,
