VERDUN HAS DEVELOPED
 A NEW TYPE OF SOLDIER
couriers Who Maintain Communica-
 tions Between Officers and Men.

Paris, Aug. 1. - The uneXampled conditions of fighting before Verdun have developer a new type of soldier called 'the cOuriers of Verdun" They are the men who maintained cOm- muniCation between the troops in the midst of the meIes and officers com manding from the rear. The battle field into which they dart with orders or after information is a desoIated zone where nothing but thick smoke sometimes black, sometimes white, gives appearance of life: excepting during the brief time Of an infantry attack, it is to all appearances de- serted; the shapest eye discovers no movement of humanity. That earth is everywhere furrowed by freshly stir red earth. but no one sees %sle hand that stirred it.
 Occasionally Q form is seen going over this desert land something after the manner of a rabbit, bounding into sight out of the herbs and above un- even ground to disappear again; Ieap- ing from obstacle to obstacle, from ditch to ditch, from shell hole to shell hole as it approaches the front line, at times vaulting, at others crawling, and sometimes kept motion less for considerable periods by the showers of projectiles sent over from the other side of the line for his per- sonaI' benefit. This is the messeng- CT of modern battle; he was never more needed nor more useful than at Verdun and the type will probably bear the name for years to come of ''the courier of Verdun.'

It is not difficult to imagine that the next step to be taken by those who are complaining about racing driving in streets Of the borough is an appeal to the state police for action and the reporting of speeders' numbers to the secretary of state, with a demand for the suspension of their licenses
 From the West Side also comes complaints against the high speed boys. Grand Juror w. E. Kech said Tuesday afternoon that he has re- ceived number of complaints against particular drivers and that if the speeding doesn't stop petitions will be signed and forwarded to the secre- tary of state, asking that the Ecens- es of these drivers be revoked.
