NINE FRENCHMEN
CAPTURE A FORT
ON NERVE ALONE
German Garrison of l13 Men
at BiacheS Thought French
Army Had Arrived and Held
Up Their Hands
NV Associated Press.)

PARIS. July I9.-One of the most
striking episodes OF the great Somme
offensive was the taking OF the field
fort at Biaches and the garrison of
lis men by nine French soldiers.
The fort had resisted throughout the
artillery bombardment and the infantry
attacks had been checked by murderous
machine gun fire. BY a lucky chancs
a French officer discovered the precious
secret that the terrible bombardment
had made the fort vulnerable at one
point.
Selecting a second lieutenant, two
sergeants, a corporal and four men, ne
led them on hands and knees through
the long grass to the spot where he
knew there was a breach in the de-
lenses They reached their objective
point without the Germans learning of
their approach. Abruptly three of the
French officers leaped into the work
shouting in stentorian tones:
Forward with the bayonet" and
throwing bombs which exploded in the
dugout The other six daring French
men remained behind ready TO retreat
il the attempt failed.
But the Germans. taken unawares,
had no time to get their weapons, and
surrendered almost without a show of
tight. When one of their number fell
shot by a revolver fired point blank
by the commanding officer. the Ger
mans, lib in all. came out of them
shelters and threw up their hands, the
French assert.
The three French captors now began
tn feel nervous, as they saw no rea-
son why the Germans should not fall
upon and exuerminate them. But at this
moment the other six hurried in. Their
resolute attitude deceived the Germans,
who believed that the new arrivals were
followed by many others. The German
officers in the fort then threw down
their arms and the entire garrison was
marched to the French rear, escorted
by the nine captors, who had not lost
man.

Alabama Flood Victims
Are Facing Starvation

LOWER PEACHTREE, Ala, July 10
Unless aid comes from some direction,
we face starvation" was the word sent
out from here by f. p. Morrissett in an
effort TO relieve flood victims in the
Lower Peachtree section. His message
to newspapers said: MANY families both
white and black are absolutely without
food. Negroes who have been without
meat for weeks, now are without bread.
The waters of the Alabama river have
totally ruined all the crops in the bot
toms. Some cotton in the uplands is
safe. But that is about all. We can
stand the crop loss but we must feed
thestarving. Who will send US help?
The situation is indescribable."
