Real Taste
of War for
Americans
congressman Under German
Machine Gun Fire While
Visiting the Front Line
Trenches in Belgium.
BY WILLIAM PHILLIP sIMMs.

With the British Armies in Flan-
ders, Nov. 17.-Five members of the
American congressional delegation
were under fire on their recent visit
to front line trenches in Belgium, it
developed today.
German watchers, noting a stir in
the allied lines, figured on something
unusual and sprayed an opening in
the breastworks with machine gun
fire, the bullets splashing about the
heads of the quintet of American leg
islators.
The five congressman who frankly
admitted after they had emerged un-
harmed, from the Boche fire, that it
was just plain luck that saved them,
were Representatives Dill, Johnson,
Miller. Timberlake and Hicks.
With Representatives Goodwin, Dale,
Taylor, Stephens and Carter. these five
were being shown trenches south OF
Dixmude. The five were separated
from the remainder of the party at
one point and slipped into lines bare
80 yards from the Germans.

FURY OF GUN FIRE.

Enemy watchfulness centered on a
gap in the breastworks of the lines
observation-disclosures being made neces-
sary at this point because of the
floods. When the Americans got to
this point they were greeted with a
perfect fury of machine gun fire. The
bullets spat wildly all about their
heads. Then a German battery some
where to the rear flung a screaming
shell close by.
The visitors hurriedly duclled and
escaped, When they got out again,
all solemnly resolved that it was
very interesting but very foolish" to
visit front line trenches unless one
was obliged to do SO.

y Ell Paso. Tex. Nov. 17.--An advance

the city of Jaurez, across the river from
Ell Paso. The bandits so far have
made no effort to attack, apparently
waiting for reinforcements to join them
from Ojinaga. Their outposts are

SMALL GARRISON.
Only 400 soldiers constitute the pres

completed the organization of his
forces.
In effect, the project is to build 81
towns complete with necessary equip
ment and facilities. 1t will require
100000 feet of lumber. which was
adopted because the price of canvas is
so high and the supply too short. Ii
tents were used it would require two
complete sets a year to keep the men
under cover.
There will be 1000 buildings in each
encampment. These will include
quarters for officers and men, stables,
kitchens, mess halls, lighthouses and
stOrerooms, in addition to numerous
structures for special purposes While
some of the barracks will be of two
story construction, the majority will
be long, low one-story affairs so ar
ranged as to suit the convenience of
the regiments or larger units.
Each town will cover a little more
than a square mile of ground, not in.

sary for drilling and military opera

ing and sanitary arrangements will be

poets the environments to be the most

SAM GILES, NOTED CHARACTER,
DIES IN OWINGSVlLLE

Sam Giles. colored, aged ninety-five
years, died at his home near Owings,
vile of old age the other day. He was
born the slave of General William
Preston. of Lexington. He accompa.
MED General Preston as a servant in
the war with Mexico. when General
Preston was Minister to Spain, and all
through the Civil War. On returning
home from Mexico the faithful servant
was offered his freedom, which he de-
clined to accept, and begged that the
subject never be mentioned to him
again.
At the close of the Civil War. Sam
discovered that the emancipation proc
lamation had freed him in spite Of
himself. The old negro was disconso-
late, but General Preston gave him
sixty acres of land about two miles
south of Owingsville and provided
him workmule. This enabled him
to live comfortably for several years.
Later his mule set crippled and the
exposures and hardships of two wars
undermined the old mans health, and
for several years he eked out a pre-
carious living.
Finally a photograph Of the old man
sitting on his crippled mule in street
of Owingsville was procured by Mr..
James NJ. Ross, who was then a news
correspondent at Owingsville, and who
is now on the Lexington Leader, and,
together with a brief history of his
life, published. The paper coming to
the notice of Mrs. George Draper, of
Boston, a daughter of General William
Preston, the forlorn condition of her
fathers faithful old servant touched
her heart and from that time on she
sent him regular remittances, which
enabled him to live il comfort.
