A|RPLAN[ST TAKE
GERMAN BATTERY
Two British Machines Make
Unique Capture STAMPEDE
Horses and Drive Off Men

Bv Associated Press. 1895,
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
ON THE BRITISH FRONT, Ang 70.
THE capture Of q German battery
nv two British airplanes was the
unioue incident of the recent hgnting
in this area
The two airplanes, fighting scouts
sent out to harry the German lnIan-
try in the course of an important 10,
cal action" undertaken by British n
American troops, had dispersed a
battalion of German infantry march-
ing up toward the battle area wnen
they sighted, a quarter mile Denlno
the German line. a suspicious group
of objects under some trees. wear
the group of objects were forty OF
fifty horses which were evidently De-
fng harnessed 30 something.
The secret was soon out the Ger
mans were trying to remove a battery
Of field guns before the British ana
American infantry appeared on the
scene. Without horses, this TASK
would be impossible, so h alrmen
decided quickly that the horses must
be either killed or stampeded. fhe
afrmen Owed down until they were
less than 100 feet from h ground
Then they opened fire, aiming on the
guns and the d-emoralized gunners'
eexirg chiefly to frighten tho horses
as much as possible. The horses re-
ouired little encouragement In this
direction for their drivers deserted
them in search of cover and soon the
animals were galloping off In all d.
rections.
For nearly a mile the afrmen Iol-
lowed them Gro the Held. fhen
the airplanes were turned once more
toward the battery. Here 1t was FOUND
surprisingly easy to drive off the re-
manning men of the battery and very
soon the reason became obvious, Tor
onIy a short distance away across the
ridge the British and American
guards were advancing. The last
cartridge in the airplanes was gone
and the two scouts landed In the neld
nearby, then walked up to the guns
and in a few, minutes, calmly named
them over to the British commander.

serves whatever assistance "a reas-
onably be rendered by the BOARD. The

in giving its approval for the stock
issue for the purpose which the petit

proposed to issue $4,000 of stock
dividends. On April s last a new pc

the issue of $125,000 common stock
ito be sold at not less than par and
the proceeds of which are to Dc used
for the payment and cancellation or
debts incurred for extensions to the
plant and to reimburse the treasury
of the company for the cost of such
extensions" The petition of Febru-
ary 2g was withdrawn. After a hear-
ing the petition was denied luz TO the
failure of the company to file an ap-
praisal of its property in accordance
with the Boards conference ruling.
The matter was later r~e-opened n
an appraisal was submitted. The
total fixed capital of the company as
of December 81, 1917 is $3,34s,137.o4.
