OFFICIALS AWAIT REPORT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug, 25.-

German Ambassador Bernstorff's

much weight to the equipment OF the
soldier and reduced his marching efii-
cheney.
With a war of great proportions
that will probably last many more
months or perhaps years and with the
thousands of dead and the tens Of
thousands Of wounded, the war office
is believed to be reconsidering It's OBJ
lection to armor.
The men of the trenches at least
probably will be thus equipped, ac-
eording to information today.
One of Britain's leading advocates
of armor is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
the noted author Of Sherlock holm
es."
in a lengthy message from his home
at Windlesham, Crowborough, Sussex,
to London daily, Sir Arthur cited
an action OF the British in Northern
France on May 8, when several bri-
gades were decimated in an effort to
rush across 800 yards intervening be
tween the British and German trench
es. He warned:
"You must either abandon such at
tacks or you must find artificial pro
lection for the men,"
Sir Arthur suggests three-piece
suits Of steel plates for the soldiers,
but goes further in advocating mod
em "testudo"-a cover used by the
Roman soldiers in attacking a wall,
formed by overlapping their oblone
shields above their heads. Sir Arthur's
modern testudo he would put on

A young soldier of barely average
height. with nothing that was striking
ly military in his bearing, but with a
countenance pronouncedly intellectual,
and dark eyes that had a deep and
constant glow in their depths, stepped
out of the ranks, approached the group
of officers and stood at attention.
"Duprez!" said Colonel Mangin,
twirling one end of his gray mustache
with the fingers of neatly gloved
hand while he regarded the private
critically. your lieutenant says you
are intelligent"
Thank you," replied Duprez with

There was moments pause, while

rigid at attention. Duprez as a

They would, in ali likelihood. go into

had wondered not little at being
picked for this expedition. None had
become acquainted with him in the
brief period of mobilization, of equip
ment at the depot, and of transporta-

from Epinal to the front.

Duval, had learned his name, and
found him q studious, silent, curt fell
low, not exactly rude or unsympa-

he thrust his book back into his
pocket, and faced the men to make
the last appeal. something from his
own heart. clothed in his own elo-
quence, speech he had long ago
framed for some such moment of
greatness. But even as he opened his
mouth, before he could utter the first
word OF his peroration, there came
an interruption that held him and all
the others spellbound.
There was first furious outburst

There were sights that were new
