gathered together the machine gun
belts Of his dead comrades. ANo-

sion Of about 1000 cartridges.
Adjusting his gun and placing the
cartridge belts near where he would
be able To feed them in himself, he
waited until the first Germans were
close in before opening his deadly
fire. The Germans began falling.
First one by one. Then as they
crowded 10 the attack, by fiyes, then
by twenties and fifties. Bigorne
never wasted q shot. Yet, az the

still other leaped up in their places.
In the end Bigorne found himself
with last cartridge belt and .
whole column OF Germans still
swarming to the assault. He fed
the belt in and then took a last.
long sweep across the entire front Of
the approaching Germans. II was
HIS last cartridge but II proved suf-
ficient for under his deadly aim. the
entire column broke and dashed
back TO its trench.
For two hours Bigorne continued
in his position. waiting to see what
the Germans would do. Finally. he
was relieved before another attack
was launched. and on being conduct
ed to the rear he was greeted by his
general who announced that he was
to be recommended for the Legion
OF Honor.

Paris. June I0.---tBy maiD r
Emile Alexandra Bigorne, machine
gun operator. has just been awarded
the Legion OF Honor. the highest
military decoration France can give
to an ordinary soldier. Bigorne won
the mark OF distinction by repulsing
single handed a German c0unter-at-
tack.
Not less than 500 Germans were
killed. wounded or put 10 flight.
Bigorne's exploit demonstrates 70
some extent the role the machine
gun has come TO play In the present
war whore II is without question the
most formidable weapon now known.
Its death dealing effects far exceed
those Of heavy artillery and are
probably only approached by the
"Soixante-quin9e" guns Of the
French.
Following one Of the French ad-
vances In the early part OF the pres
ent offensive Bigorne found himself
holding down a German trench in
company with dozen other machine
gun men. The Germans had kept
them isolated all night with bar
rage fire and early In the morning
had shown indications Of preparing
n countcr-attack.
With the gradual increase Of the
morning lights tho Germans fire be-
came more accurate with the result
that at one by one Bigorne's COM
rades were killed. Orders had been
given to hold the trench at all costs.
When Bigorne found himself finally
