Private Lost Life, But Corporal Gou-
taaubier Lived to Receive Unusual
Honor mt Hands of France.

Paris. Aug. Corporal Gouteau-
bier OF the French light infantry, has
been decorated with a military cross
by President Poincare for capturing
100 Germans, including two officers,
aided only by single companion.
The curt reference to Corporal Gou-
teau bier's exploit in army orders
reads:
For bravery and contempt of
danger which struck terror into the
trenches and shelter of the enemy.
With a single comrade he has made
100 prisoners, including two officers,
whom he took to the rear and then
returned to his post"
When Corporal Gouteaubier was
pnraded before President Poincare on
the recent visit of the latter to the
Somme front he told the story of his
feat at the request of the President.
1t was on July 20 before Hem wood.
Tho French troops had just dashed
forward at the German positions. The
first wave had swept over the enemy
trenches and the second had failed to
complete the operation. However.
from a hollow toward the right a
well-sustained fusillade was being
poured on the flank OF the attackers.
Contender, who was at the right
wing OF the second wave. called out
The two men approached the spot
whence the firing came. They glided
from tree to tree until they were close
to the shelter where a German COM
pany was holding out. Guillot threw
bombs as fast as he could into their
midst, and the firing ceased.
Surrender" shouted the corporal
in a stentorian voice from behind a
tree.
In response to his demand. 100
Germans emerged from the shelter
with upiifted hands led by two off,
GERS, Pass along this wayl" shouted
Gouteauber from his hiding place.
Go out OF the wood at once and
march to the rear" Two minutes
later the 100 Germans. shepherded
by the corporal and G'uillot arrived
at the French lines.
The prisoners admitted that some
OF their comrades remained in the
shelter, Come on, Guiilot; let us so
and fetch them" said Gouteaubier.
The two men started back. but Gull
lot fell with a bullet in his breast and
the corporal had to abandon his en-
tcrprise.
