IS LATER WOUNDED IN
HAND BY A BULLET
First Rcgimental Flag To Be Carried
By Our Forces To the Front Line
Trenches Has Been Returned to
Officers Inscription-Stan Officers
Narrow Escape.

With the American Army in France,
Nov. 20, (By the% Associated Press)-
Only the fact that the Germans failed
to venture into No Mans Land on a
recent night saved them from all
American surprise. One hundred and
sixty men Of the first battalions to
enter the trenches for week were
given special training and after being
transported to the front, crawled
across No Mans Land and took posi-
tons in front of and in the German
wire entanglements at a point where
it had been discovered the enemy
came out every night
Each man had been trained to p
special task, and the entire unit had
rehearsed the part it intended to play
under conditions similar to that in
front of German lines. The Ameri-
cans reached the positions soon after
dark and remained in waiting all
night but not one German appeared.
The plan was to allow several
groups of 10 to Is Germans to emerge
and to meet at a rendezvous. Then
the Americans would fall on the enc
my and repay them fully for recent
trench raids.
A cold which soldier caught in the
hand and gave warning to a German
patrol Of an ambuscade on another
night. An American patrol had ar
ranged an ambush near q shell-ruined
farm house in No Mans Land. Several
Of the Americans had cold and coughs
but managed to control them. Final
~ when the shadowy forms of an ene-
my patrol were seen approaching, one
Of the Americans coughed. The enc
NV patrol promptly disappeared to-
wards its own lines, from where soon
afterward came hail Of machine gun
bullets, one hitting the man who had
coughed.
Two staff officers recently had
narrow escape while walking along
road in the rear Of the lines. They
heard the whizz of an enemy shell and
Jumped, thinking it was close by when
the projecti1e came down in the cen
ter of the road on either side OF
which they were walking.
The first American regimental COL
ors to be carried on the battle front
in France have been returned to regl-
mental headquarters. Written on IL
in ink over the signature of the
French commander is a certifcation
that this was the first flag to reach
the front lines. The flag did not fly
at the front, as no flags are exhibited
there. 1t was actually carried, how
ever to dug out in the rear OF the
second line, remaining there several
days.

COAL DEALER KICKS
severin johnson Intimates to Mayor
Quigley City Has Only Two Weeks
Supply ON Hand.


That there is still a. pronounced
feeling of dissatisfaction among the
local coal dealers at the prices fixed
for coal in this city by the New Brit
ain Fuel administration was stated to
Mayor G. A. Quigley this morning by
SEVERN johnson of the Stanley Svea
Coal and Grain company. Mr.. john
son submitted figures to show that it
is impossible for his concern to sell
coal at the fixed prices and make any
profit and, the mayor is led to be-
lieve, other coal dealers have similar
alleged grievances.
In his talk Mr.. Johnson said that
if his company has to sell coal at
1855 per ton the income will not even
pay the interest ON the money in
vested and the company would be
doing business at a loss. according
to Mayor Quigley. Furthermo the
mayor says that Mr.. Johnson eX-
pressed a fear of N coal famine in
New Britain and estimated that there
iS only about two weeks supply in
the city.
While Mayor Quigley has made it
plain that he has absolutely nothing
to do regarding fixing the price Of
coal, that matter being in the hands
of E. w. Christ, w. F.. Farley and
A. N. Able, he also states that he
is interested to the extent that he
does not want citizens to suffer
through a scarcity of coal. Neither
does he want the public to pay an
excessive price, the mayor asserts.
Mayor Quigley intends to- have a
consultation with Chairman E. W.
Christ of the fuel committee as soon
as he return to the city from a bust
ness trip.
