ALONE, CONQUERED, %
Extraordinary Exploit of Canadian
Corporal


A tale of an unnamed corporal in
an eastern Ontario battalion of the
Canadian forces in France, who, sin
gle handed charged party OF % Ger
mans advancing 10 an attack and
killed or wounded all OF them ex-
cept one. whom he took prisoner, is
related by the official Canadian eye
witness" in a dispatch received at OF
tawa, Ont. yesterday.
"As a result OF further severe fight
ing the Canadians have captured sew
eral important German positions and
have advanced their swn line upon a
frontage OF nearly two miles to a
maximum depth of 900 yards" said
the dispuatch. "The Germans have
fought hard and their resistance has
been formidable To minimize this
fact would minimize the gallantry and
persistence with which the Canadians
have attacked. We have. in this fight
ing. advanced in close cooperation
and sympathy with the British troops
on either flank. Despite the enemy's
resistance we have, except for tenn
porary and local setbacks. secured in
succession all of our detectives and by
every account received we have in
flicted severe losses upon the Ger
mans.
Our artillery support has been
magnificent and by the sheer weight
of metal which the gunners have
hurled upon the Germans they have
made it humanity possible for the in
fantry to come into close contact with
the enemy When this has occurred
there has never been any question of
the result. Time and time again our
bayonet men have rushed an enemy
trench and have killed or captured
the entire garrison.
''In the course of all this desperate
fighting there have been innumerable
instances of the most courageous and
devoted actions impossible at present
TO detail. The case of corporal of
an Eastern Ontario battalion is. how
ever, one OF the most extraordinary
ever recorded The battalion had sue
cessfully captured a line of German
trenches when party of the enemy,
consisting of two officers and about
20 men, began a counter attack.
"The corporal advanced alone
against the whole party. empted his
revolver, picking up first one and
another German rife each of which
he emptied, accounting for the two Of
ficers and 16 of the men. While he
was shooting one of the officers at
tackled him with bayonet and pierced
him in the leg below the knee but the
corporal shot him dead The rest of
the enemy attempted to escape. The
corporal shot four of them and made
the fifth prisoner. Although wounded
in two places. he remained in the
trenches until his battalion was re-
lieved

AMERICAN RED TAPE
Lewis Gun Did Not Even Get {
Trial

New York, Sept. 30.-Col Isaac ~
Lewis, American inventor of the fam
Gus Lewis machine gun, turned down
by the United States army ordance
board and now being used with mar
yelous results by the allies in Europe,
has just made a public statement of
the entire controversy, first brought TO
the attention of the people of this
country by the Daily Blank.
Lewis reply is made to- letter
printed in the New York Times and
signed by Brig Gen. Crozier, chief of
the lame ordnance board, in which
Crozier says:
Col. Lewis never offered his gun to
the ordnance bureau and never to my
knowledge offered it to any ether
branch of the government free OF
charge"
'It is evident then declares Col.
Lewis. that Gen. Crozier intended by
the statement quoted to convey to
your readers the impression that | did
not in good faith offer by invention
free to my own government before un-
dertaking its development and intro
duction abroad
"The facts are simple. There is
no mystery whatever.
q. | did offer the gun officially to
the war department. The offer was
made not once but several times dur
ing the period from March, 1870 to
September, 1912. which period covered
the experimental development of the
first service model The offer was
made to the chief of staff and the pres
ident of the board of ordnance and
fertilization, Maj Gen. Leonard Wood.
1t was made with the distinct under
standing that in case the gun was
adopted and used by the United States
government | would receive from the
government no pecuniary recompense
whatever for my rights and interests
in the invention.
"2. | did not offer my gun to Gen.
Grozier or to his bureau, it would have
been foolish as well as futile to have
done So know from a somewhat
bitter personal experience of more
than 80 years that it would be both
futile and foolish for me or for any
other American inventor outside the
bureau itself to offer any ordnance
invention to the ordnace bureau in the
hope that it would find encouragement
toward development and final accept

attempt to secure a service test of my
bun by the war department, when, at
the personal request of the chief sig

Springfield ammunition for use in
aeroplanes during the practical field
manoeuvers of that year This offer
was accepted by the chief of staff
