painful his injuries are not considered
to be at all dangerous. Rogers es-
capped almost without a scratch.
The train they were operating was
a gravel extra in charge of Conductor

backing when, from some unknown
cause, the engine left the track, ten

five cars piling up on top of it. The
enginemen were buried underneath
Rogers managed to extricate himself
almost Immediately; Fackel was pin

fortunate circumstance that the water
in the tank broke trough and flo we'd
down over his body just in time to
prevent his burns from being mucl
more serious than they are.
The rest of the train crew, who
rushed Immediately to the wrecke
engine, rescued Fackel first witho'
noticing that Rogers had freed him
self without assistance. They bega
searching for him under the wrecl

hunting for Fackel, lent his aid ]

the Russian general, Sakharoff, in the
fighting on the Slonevka river, cap.

The British secretary for war, David
Lloyd George, in a published state
ment tonight, shows the Importance
the Germans attached to the retcn-
on Of PoZieres by quoting from 4
German divisional order issued on July
II, as follows:
Furthermore. the conversion of
villages into strong points is of the
greatest Importance. Such villages are
POZieres, Contamination and the two,
Benzatin and Longueval."
Secretary Lloyd George points out
that with the capture of Pozieres the
the allies hands. Further he points
out that today's German claim Of the
repulse of an attack on Trones wood
must he clerical error, as Trones
wood has been in British possession
since July IA.
Tho opinion OF military critics In
Londcn is that no positions AS strong
as those the British now are success,

Pozieres and Bapaume: otherwise,
they argue, the Germans would not
have risked bringing troops and guns
from the Verdun sector to defend Po-
zieres and it is inferred from indica.
tions in the official dispatches that
the British are already beginning to
establish themselves on both sides of
the road from Pozieres to Bapaumc.
