LIGHT INF ANTRY FLAG TRANSFERRED Eleventh Battalion of Chas- seurs Wins It by Work
 in the Alps

Paris. September 10.-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press )-The flag of the Chasseurs a Pied Qight infantry) that was carried into Alsace by the Tenth battalion in the early rush to- ward the Rhine. and was decorated with the military medal after the af- fair of Saint -Blaise where the chas- seurs captured German flag, and was afterward carried to the north Of France with the Tenth battalion, has just made another voyage along the front, after having the war cross pinned upon it by General Joffre. With its special guard it was received at gem eral headquarters and saluted by the general staff, including a convalescent officer of the chasseurs who lost a leg in the Vosges. The following day 1t was en route again for the Vosges to be transferred from the Tenth to the Eleventh battalion with impressive solemnity.
 Guarding tke flag of the chasseurs is one of the highest honors in the French army. It is the first French flag to be decorated with the military medal and the cross of the Legion of Honor. It is generally confided to battalion that has distinguished itself Until 1913 it was held by the Twenty-sixth battalion at Vincennes. By decision f9 the gen era1 staff and the President of the puDl1c II was cOnIlueu 10 the Ienln battalion In reward for the exploit of Sergeant Garnier in capturing an im- peral flag in the cemetery at the battle of Solferino. It is given to the Eleventh in recognition of the valor of the All pine chasseurs. to whom is due the progress of the French toward the Rhine in the valley of the Fecht and in the valley of the Thur.
 There is perhaps more esprit de corps among the ChaSSeurs than in any other arm Of the service. The men are so carefully chosen as to make it an honor to be incorporated in battalion of chasseurs, and noEe but the brave seek it, for everyone knows that his place is in front.

to purchase his kit at a store operated by Schwartz before he would give him his shipping papers.
 On his second trip Dwyer shipped on the Baron Polwarth of the Baron line for Ayor mouth about 50 miles up the channel from Liverpool Ii was on this trip that his boat rescued the crew of the Baron Erskine. a British mine trawler that was sunk by torpedo. Dwyer says the crew of the Baron Erskne had nothing but praise for the Germans. The British boat crew told members of the rescuing vessel that the German commander not only gave them 15 minutes to take to the small boats, but inquired through a meg aphone if every one had left the ship, and did not let the torpedo go until in- formed by the British captain that every one was safely off the vessel.
 Dwyer says the crew of the Baron Erskine were landed on English soil with gut little clothing. many of the crew having nothing more than a pair of trous- CTS. Those of the crew who did have clothes went from house to house and begged 5Narments for their less fortunate comrades There were several American citizens in the crew of the Baron Erskine ane Dwyer says they were refused aid from the American consul at Avonmouth. wht refused to recognize them Amer- jeans. The Baron line, the owners of the Baron Erskine, furnished transporta- tion to the crew to America after two weeks. but during those two weeks ashore the crew had to beg for bread.
 Smoking Was Expensive
 On the return trip Dwyer says cigar sold tive for a quarter-not two packages. but only two cigarettes The chief stew ard. whose duties it is to provide the stoies neglected to purchase cigarettes. and the engine room crew sold its small supply to the other members of crew at the price above given. Dwyer says one men Der of the crew was waiting outside the door of the officers quarters every morning at o'clock to get the 'snipes'' which the officers had dropped the pre- vicus night, and which Dwyer swept out wher cleaning the quarters. Dwyer him self does not smoke.
 He says the boys who ship out on cattle boats as a rule are college graduates clerks in department stores and country boys. On the boats he travelled on there were several college boys and few farm hands from Texas. He says the ship ping master at New Orleans advertises for help far north Montgomery, and the northern part of Mississippi and throughout Texas.
 Dwyer's home is AIS Pine street. Chat tanooga. He left last night for him home ana says he expects to go to Norfolk with in a few days. and ship out of that port on horse boat
