drew his revolver instead. but the
Frenchman was quicker and shot him
dead.
Inc report was heard by the sentry
at the chateau and brought a strong
force of Germans on the run. The
french soldiers were waiting near by
70 assist their chief. but one glance
was enough to see that they were
greatly outnumbered and all fed back
to sthe woods. not one being even
wounded.
A similar incident had occurred only
few days before at Beauraing, ten
miles away, when a German captain
had been killed, and the military au-
thorities thereupon decided to make
thorough search of the forest to round
up the French troops. More than one
thousand men took part in the search,
but not Frenchman was found
Meanwhile the attacks have con-
tlnued and the Germans in the regions
of Houyet, Geduine, Saint-Hubert,
Beauraing and Givet are terrorized.
No officer dares venture out alone, no
stranger is allowed to pass. M. Speyer,
the Belgian senator, who has taken
charge of the feeding of the remain
ing inhabitants of these regions, has
been subjected to a close watch dur
ing all his visits, and he is practically
the only one tolerated in these towns.
The authority for this story saw the
French commander ONLY two weeks
ago and succeeded in getting through
the German lines and back to Paris.
At that time the German military au-
thorities had posted throughout the
two Belgian provinces of Luxembourg
and Namur the following announce
ment addressed to the fugitive sol
diers:
French soldiers:
I'VE know where you are and have
full information regarding your
strength. In your own interest we adj
wise you to surrender and promise
that your lives will be safe. If you re-
fuse every one of you viii be shot"
On the following morning the Ger
mans were amazed to find written in
bold hand across several of the post
ers the following line:
IF you know where we are why
don't you come and get us?"
And underneath appeared the sigma
ture of the French commanding off,
Ger, with his full name and rank and
the number of his regiment

TEA FOR MEN IN TRENCHES
Englishmen Believe French and Ger
man Soldiers May Form
Habit.

London-Both the French and Ger
man troops are being supplied with
tea in the trenches. Tea is easier to
make and is a better thirst quencher
than coffee and it also keeps warm
longer. which is an important consid-
Grafton in the trenches.
1t is just possible that both the
French and Germans will get to like
tea, and both nations may become
large tea users after the war. At
present France and Germany, with a
combined population of more than a
hundred millions, are negligible as
tea consumers.
1t is likely that Englishmen too
many learn some new tastes and new
habits when the British soldiers come
home. They may bring back taste
for strong coffee, cheap wine and black
cigarettes. French soldiers brought
back from Algeria the taste of alb
sinthe, and English officers brought
from Egypt in 1885 the cigarette
habit

SAVED FOR PRINCES SAKE
Germans Spare Maubeuge, France, Ce-

kaiser's Dying Nephew.

tenant, who was brought unconscious
into the hospital at Maubeuge, and
died three days later, the city of Maui
beuge has been favored by it's German
conquerors, and is enjoying a greater
degree of freedom than any of the
other French border towns in German
territory.
The wounded German was the prince
OF Saxe-Meiningen, nephew of the en-
peror. He had suffered fractured
skull and died without regaining con-
seriousness.
AT the suggestion of the nurse, the
local authorities gave the prince the
funeral honors due his rank, photo
graphed the body and coffin, and sent
the photographs, together with the
personal belongings of the prince and
detailed account of his illness to his
family at Meiningen.
The young mans father, the duke
of Saxe-Meiningen, acknowledged the
courtesies in letter expressing deep
est appreciation and later-when the
Germans entered Maubeuge - he
proved his gratitude by directing the
troops occupying the fortress town to
treat the inhabitants with the utmost
consideration. The nurse was given a
safe conduct through the German
lines.

LEARN TO DISCOUNT DANGER
Psychology of Courage Among
the Soldiers.

London.-A medical officer who has
been making a study of the ''psychol-
ogy of courage" at the British front,
says that most men confess to feel
ing of fear which only wears off after
several days in the trenches. But
once this physical instinct Of terror
is conquered, there comes" says the
medical man, "a second courage,
which, while not despising danger, is
able to discount it. Under fire these
men find a self hitherto unsupported,
an elusive quality which for want of
a better title is called manhood"
The soldier learns first to control.
then to measure, his fear, he says.
HE learns to discount possibilities
lust as the ordinary railroad traveller
does. And the work in hand generally
engages and holds more and more Of
his attention. Then comes a time
when he wants to go back to the fir
ing line, not because it is pleasant
there, but because staying away is
just impossible.
while the man who has not yet
been under fire cannot safely count
upon experiencing this or that
particular feeling when his hou-
comes-this depending upon tempera-
ment and circumstances-he can,
believe, count upon soon achieving
the second courage. which is the price
less possession of the veteran. On
der fire he may lose every precon-
ceiyed notion he ever cherished or
stunned, but it is highly probable
that he will find himself.

German Commander Killed.

On one occasion in the village OF
Houyet, on the Liesse, 20 kilometers
from Dinant, the fugitive soldiers had
a narrow escape. A German force,
which the French believed to be small,
had occupied the royal chateau fAr-
senne and was making merry with the
contents of well-filled larder and vine
cellars of the place, while the few re-
naming inhabitants in the village
were starving. The commander OF the
French soldiers decided to put an enc

took personally to trap and capture
the German commander. The sur
prise of the latter can well be imag-
med when during a morning stroll he
came suddenly face to face with
French officer in full uniform who or

WEST END GANG ENDS
IN LEADERS, ARREST
Johnny MihaISki, Youth Who
Escaped by Leaping from

The final arrest, it is thought, in
the breaking up of the gang of young
west end bandits. was accomplished
Wednesday morning at o'clock when
Johnn Mihalsld, 16 years old, was
taken into custody by Special officer
Shannon as the alleged youthful Grim
inal was leaving the city. He was ar
rested at Olive and Division SITS.
while on his way TO the home of rela-
tives in the country.
Although short in stature and young
in years. Mihalski has been the lead
ing spirit among the west side gang
sters since the departure of his broth
er. LOttie, for a long term in the pris-
on at Ft. Eeavenworth, Kas. His es-
capes from justice have been many.
and his GOODNESS and courage and
cunning have caused the local police
and railroad detectives to style him
the mouse"
There are three afidayits in the
hands of authorities describing va
rious crimes in which Mihalski is in
volved. The most serious is his al
legged connection with the series of
rObberies and hOld-ups which occur
red last week, and for which there
are at present nine young men in the
tolls of the law, several of them al
ready sentenced TO terms in the coun-
~ Jail. Mihalski is also wanted upon
charges OF car breaking and for lar
ceny.

him behind the bars and his chief
