drew his revolver instead, but the
Frenchman YVES quicker and shot him
dead.
The report was heard by the sentry
at the chateau and brought strong
t9rce of Germans on the run. The
French soldiers were waiting near by
to assist their chief. but one glance
was enough to see that they were
greatly outnumbered and all fed back
to the 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 a
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-
tinued 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 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 will be shot"
On the following morning the Ger
mans were amazed to find written in a
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.

LEARN TO DISCOUNT DANGER
British Medical officer Studies the
Psychology of Courage Among
the Soldiers.

London.-A medical officer who has
been making study of the "psychol-
ogy of courage" at the British front,
says that most men confess to feel
ing of fear which only wears of 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
just 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 hour
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. I'm
der fire he may lose every precon-
ceived notion he ever cherished or
stunned, but it is highly probable
that he will find himself"
