The main defenses of the city had

NINE SOLDIERS CAPTURE 113
Frenehmen Trick the Defenders Of a
German Field Fort on
the Somme.

One of the most striking episodes
Of the great Somme offensive was the
recent taking of the field fort at BIZ
aches and it's garrison of 113 men
by o French soldiers.
All attempts to storm the position
had been checked by murderOus ma
chine-gun fire until a French officer
discovered a vulnerable point. Sc
lecting q second lieutenant, two ser
geants, corporal and four men, he
led them on hands and knees through
the long grass to the spot where he
knew there was a breach in the de-
fenses. Then three of the French Of
ficers abruptly leaped into the work,
shouting in stentOrian tones, For
ward with the bayOneti" and throw
ing bombs which exploded in the
dugOut.
The Germans, believing a large
force was with the Frenchmen, had
no time to get their weapons and sur
rendered. But now the three French
captors began to feel nervous, as
they saw no reason why the Germans
should not fall upon them and ex-
terminate them. They were saved
by the six comrades, who came rush
ing In Just at this moment. Again
fooled. the entire German garrison
was marched to the French rear
escorted by the nine 'pOilus," who had
not lost a man.

ure in shrubbery and weeds infested
with "chiggers," or "red bugs" no ill
effects will be experienced. After a

After irritation has set in, and small

moderately strong solution Of ammo

ed by the department of agriculture's

The stoker in Battle.

In the modern battleship. as is well
known, the stoker, like the oarsman Of
ancient Roman galley, has his work
all below deck. The seafight RACES
above him, and he can rarely if ever
see a battle. One of the stories con-
nected with the battle of Jutland IL
lustrates the stolid character of the
British stokers. A chance was given
two of these during the fight to come
from below. They were on the War
spite, which was heavily engaged. One
of them was telling a domestic story
to the other as they went up to the
deck. At the hottest moment of the
fight their grimy heads appeared at the
top of the hatch round which splinters
Of shell were crashing. Above the
hellish din the impassive voice Of the
storytelling stOker was heard, as calm
as though at pub" over a mug of
ale, saying, II always thought e ort
to ave married 'er.".

Method of Locating Guns.

Science has discovered that gun
fire affects the earths surface much
as an earthquake, so it is not surpris-
ing to learn that guns are being To-
cated by the seismograph-the deli
cate little instrument which records
terrestrial tremors. An Austrian au.
thOrity on the subject of earthquake
disturbances announces that the seis.
mOgraph can record. the position OF
hostile artillery as well as the caliber
of the guns.
= In fairly recent engagement be-
tween Italian and Austrian troops on
the IsOnzO, the tremors induced by the
heavy cannonade were duly registered
by the apparatus, and the operator
was able to detect, by means of dia'
grams Of artificial movements of the
ground, the difference between the
shocks produced by the fall of projec'
tiles and those caused by the recoil Of
the guns. Moreover, the form of the
tracings revealed to the practiced eye

TREATY WITH DANES
DENMARK TO CONVEY HER WEST
INDIES TO UNITED
STATES.
WILL MAINTAIN CONCESSIONS
America to ReIinqulsh All Objections
to Scandinavian Domination Of
Greenland - Can Extend Political
and Economic Interests.

Washington, Aug. 12.7-President
Wilson has sent to the senate for rati-
fcation the treaty with Denmark for
the sale of the Danish West Indies to
the United States. Although the
treaty has been carefully guarded from
publicity, the International News serv-
ice correspondent is now able to fur
nish the full list of its exact terms.
The convention is preceded by a
declaration by Secretary Lansing that
the government of the United States
will not object to the Danish govern
ment extending their political and eco
nomic interests to the whole of Green
land"
This treaty consists of II articles,
as compared with seven In that OF
1902. In many respects they are SINH
lar. The most important changes are
found in Article III, in which are
enumerated the grants and concessions
the United States will maintain in ac-
cordance with the terms Of the grants
when made by the Danish government.
Article l describes the territory
ceded as the Islands Of Saint Thorn
as, Saint John and Saint CrOix, to-
gether with the adjacent islands and
rocks" and including "the right of
property in all public, government or
crown lands, public buildings, wharves,
ports, harbOrs, fortifcatiOns, barracks,
public funds, rights, franchises and
privileges and all other public prop
erty of every kind or description now
belonging to Denmark, together with
ali the appurtenances thereto" 1t in
cludes also all public archives.
In Article II Denmark guarantees
that the cessiOn is free and unincum-
bereda 'by any reservations, privi-
leges, franchises, grants or posses
sions held by any governments, cor
porations, syndicates, or individuals
except as herein mentioned"
Article III contains many special
agreements. The arms and military
stores of the Danish government are
to remain its property, to be removed
as soon as pract1caDle.
The United States agrees to main
tain certain grants, concessions and
licenses given by the Danish govern
ment in accordance with their terms.
Article w provides for the appoint
ment of proper agents for the pur-
pose of formally delivering and ac-
cepting the territory ceded.
Those who remain in the islands
may preserve their Danish citizenship
by making within one year from the
date of exchange of ratifcations dec.
laratiOn Of their decision to preserve
such citizenship. In default of such
declaration they shall be held to have
renounced 1t and accepted citizenship
in the United States.

While improved roads will not in

reducing the cost of hauling the pro-

The building of good road frequent
