SOLDIERS WOULD
KEEP PICTURESQUE
SCARLET TROUSERS
(By Associated Press.)

DUNKIRK, Jan. 12.-In defense Of
the old red trousers of the French
soldiers uniform, which the govern
meht now proposes to replace with
uniform of slate-gray, the French
troops assert that the red color, with
the blue of the coat, is far less cons
spicuous against background of
autumn forest and field than a gray
or khaki uniform. The red and blue
soon grow dull, and when spattered
with mud and ingrained with dust and
grease, form a sort of natural heather
mixture" which is said to be as protec-
tive as anything else against ordinary
French backgrounds in a French cli-
mate.
Khaki is only good after It has seen
some use. 1t was originally adopted the
French soldiers point out, for use in
a brilliant sunlight against yellow
sands, for which it was eminently
suited.

LIGHT INFANTRY
BUSILY DRILLING
NEXT INSPECTION
COMPANY WILL PRESENT FULL
RANKS ON FEBRUARY THIRD.

The Americas Light Infantry, Com
pany |, Second Regiment, turned out
last night at the Armory with full
ranks, this being the first Of the BIZ
monthly drill occasions. The Light
Infantrymen are getting ready for the
annual state inspection, which is dated
for February Sd, and the company, al
ready ath igh-water mark, will be in
the pink of condition when the State
and Army officers come upon the date
mentioned. Already the Americas
Light Infantry is recruited up to full
enlistment strength with sixty-five
men in ranks and three commissioned
officers, Captain James A. Fort, Lieut..
J. E. B. McLendon and Lieut. B. c.
Hogue. Quite recently two or three
men in the ranks left to join the reg
ular army, but their places were quick
ly filled by other men upon the waiting
list. Probably no other military COM
mand in South Georgia can show the
numerical strength of the Americas
Light Infantry, while the personel of
the company is the very best.

ENGLISH CENsORS
INSPECT BELGIAN
MAIL SAY GERMANS
(By Associated Press }

(By Associated Press
THE HAGUE, Jan. 12.-The Nieuwe
Courant of this city has been given a
rather surprising and wholly unexpect-
ed reply to challenge it made about
two weeks ago to the Frankfurter lei
tung to produce proof of its assertion
that Dutch mails were being inspected
by English agents.
1t was thought at the time that the
Frankfurter Zeitung would not be
able to produce anything resembling
proof of this serious charge, but in
the illustrated section of it's edition of
December 18th, which has just arrived
here, the German paper shows what it
asserts is the reproduction of letter
which, carrying the following address;
Frau Helene Colsman, Zeppelin
Works, Friedrichshafen, Bodensee,"
been opened by the British censors
and had after that found its way 10
the addressee. That the letter was
mailed in Holland is shown by the
cancellation stamp. In addition the
back of the envelope carries in Eng
lish legend: Undeliverable-L. P. S."
Letter Post Service and across the
edge cut open by the censor, the Gus
tomary strip Of paper with the in
scription: Opened by censor" had
been pasted.
Commenting upon the matter the
Nieuwe Courant says:
eve understand perfectly why this
remarkable accidents should have
aroused the suspicious of the German
newspaper, all the more when we con-
slider that the words Zeppelin works
occur in the address, The German ver-
sion of the affair-as we gather from
a communication we have received-is
that through the agency of bribed
Dutch officials suspicious letters
reach English hands. But in that case
it is impossible to understand how the
letter, after a month, reached the adj
dressee at Friedrichshafen. 1t is not
likely that the English would be fool
ish enough to again forward letter
so treated no matter how harmless its
contents.
"But our correspondent meets this
argument by saying that finally the
letter had reached its destination
through mistake.
at is more probable that the letter
was sent to England by mistake-that
it got in the wrong mail bag. But it is
unfortunate that just this one had to
bear the address: Zeppelin Works.
THAT a similar case occurred in
the Danish mail proves in itself moth
ing. A Vienna professor wrote to the
Frankfurter Zeitung that letter he
received on October %, and which had
been mailed in Copenhagen on Septem-
Der 4, had been given the same treat
ment. This letter, too, may have got
ten into the hands of the English 10y
being put in the wrong mail bag.
I'VE agree with the Frankfurter lei,
tung that an explanation of the occur
renee is urgently desired and with
this in view we have informed the di-
rector general of the postal service
and have requested him to investigate
he matter thoroughly"
{ A newspaper correspondent here
also reports the experience of having

VIENNA, Jan. 12-Sergeant Stanis-
lava Orlonsky, modern Joan of Arc,
and idol Of the Polish Austrian legion,
is to be commissioned as lieuten-
ant.
Still only eighteen, slender, pallid,
with large steel grey eyes and the face
of an adolescent boy, she earned her
successive promotion from the rank Of
private by acts OF valor. Her one
thought is for action and vengeance on
the Russians. Probably she is the last
of her family.
Born in, Galicia, daughter of an old
Polish patriot who participated in the
revolution Of 1863, her father took her
and his three sons to Warsaw declar-
ing that all the family should have a
part in the establishment of Pol
and.
N'I have three sons and half to give
to the cause" was his frequent boast.
In January of this year, a Polish rev.
dictionary plot was discovered in War;
saw. Old Stanislava and his family
were involved. The secret police sud
denly swooped down on their house
and the father, mother and eldest
son were captured. They were exiled
to Siberia and died soon afterward,
reports saying they were tortured to
death in an attempt to force them
to betray their co-conspirators.
Stanislava and her other two

GIRL, CARRIED AS BOY
IN LEADING TROOPS,
WINS HER REVENGE

brothers escaped into Austria. They
were in Cracow when war broke out
and entered into the Polish legion, the
girl disguised as boy. She saw action
from the first, finally gaining the three
stars of sergeant for valor in action.
One of her chief exploits was when
word came to her that her brothers
were prisoners in the hands of the
Russians.
At once hope was born of rescue.
She crawled through mud and swanps
to the Russian trenches to the very
place where her brothers we're held.
But she came too late. They were there
hanging dead by their necks-executed
BY the Russians.
The girl cried-her comrades admit
that-but she also swore new oath
of vengeance. The forlorn hopes which
she has since accepted have been with
out parallel in the legion. She has
covered every inch Of the enemy's
country in front Of his lines disguised
as peasant. Her maps are in posses
sion OF her superiors.
One typical incident is told by her
comrades for she Will tell nothing.
With companion she crawled up to
hut in which Russian officers were
sleeping, secured an entrance and took
from their clothing papers of the ut
most military Importance.
1t is for this that she will receive
her commission.
