eyewitness;
1T was in the early times OF this
terrific struggle. Somewhere in Elan
ders the trenches stood only 200
yards apart. On one side were the
French. on the other the Germans.
The Germans had attempted 4 coun-
ter attack, and as it was getting dark
they were forced to retire. with great
losses, leaving the dead and wounded
on the field. Amid this awful carnage
two men only remained. a French.
man and a German. They were en-
gagged in bayonet duel. one trying
to kill the other. They were both
dancing around in circles like de-
mons. thrusting and stabbing right
and left. One had to go. and they
fought. II was practically dark by
this time. The pale moon shone a
sickly reflection on these two human
beings. Their features were drawn
and hagEard, their eyes flashed and
bulged out of their orbits. the ex-
preston on their faces was ghastly-
that of utmost despair. And still
they danced. each lighting for his
existence, when all Of a sudden this
uncanny performance came to an
abrupt stop. There was a sharp
click, a thrust and a mufY1ed sound.
Both bayonets went home, both men
stood transfixed. both fell dead to
the ground.

Will Answer
Supreme Court
Summons Today
West Virginia To SHOW Cause WHY
MsRdsmus Shouid Not He Granted
In Debt Case.

Attorney-Gcnera l John Garland Pol
lard will leave early this morning for
Washington wehere he will be present
at the supreme court Of appeals of the
United States. when the legislature of
West Virginia will appear before that
body in answer to the summons served
on them by Virginia. to show cause
why Il mandamus should not be issued
to force the state of West Virginia to
pay the claims OF Virginia in the long
landing debt case.
Papers in the case were served on
the West Virginia lawmakers about
ten days ago. when n body of Rich
mond men, headed by city Sheriff j.
Herbert Mercer, went to Charleston
and placed the summons in the hands
of the West Virginia Legislators. II is
believed that the entire general assem-
bly, of that state Will be represented
this morning before the court by the
attorney general Of West Virginia, 4.
y. Lilly.
For many years the claim of Virginia
that West Virginia should stand a
$4,000 600 share of the state debt, con-
tracted when the two states were one,
has been standing. West Virginia has
demurred from taking any. action in
settling the suit brought by this state.
aitnougn tue supreme court or appeals
of the United States decided in favor
Of Virginia.
Asked for Mapdamus.
Some time ago the debt commission
petitioned the court to grant a manda-
mus forcing West Virginia TO pay the
debt, but it was held that an opportu-
nifty would be given the general as
sembly OF that state to settle the
claims. The legislature met. and al
though the governor sent special
message to it. asking that steps be
taken to settle the suit. nothing was
done. In the closins hours of the ses
sion Virginia served the papers in the
case. sumnoning the legislators before
the supreme court.
The case is one unique in American
Jurisprudence. Never before has a sim
liar case been instituted between two
states OF the United States. The su-
preme court did not have a precedent
to guide it In the past when one
sovereign state had claims against an
other sovereign state, p hich were not
settled, it resulted in war, Each state
