state it's removal. The wound was
received in the gun fight on February

to arrest the Powers brothers as al
legged draft evaders were killed.
Sheriff Stewart was notified last
night by Captain Hugh Mitchell, com

three men and left Immediately by
automobile for Hachita, arriving there
early this morning Captain Mitchell

The men were captured by six cav
alrymen who found them hiding in
the brush and took them to the patrol
camp near Hachita. The men had
been fugitives since the day of the
fight with the Graham county officers
and had successfully eluded a civilian
posse which at one time consisted of
more than 1000 men.

British Army Headquarters in
France OFriday)' March S,--By the
Associated press) )--Great gallantry
and individual heroism was displayed
by the Belgian soldiers in the face Of
great odds in the flooded zone north
west of DiXmude Wednesday. The
German attack was futile.
This operation has been character
lied as raid but as in the case of the
recent attack on the Portuguese there
is little doubt that the Germans meant
to occupy certain posts permanently.
They succeeded in one place but were
driven out with heavy losses after
spectacular fighting.
King Albert personally congratu-
lated his troops yesterday on their re-
markable work.
Artillery Fire Terrific.
The Germans began their opera
tons at daybreak against the Belgian
positions at Beverdyk and Regersvl-
let by putting down n tremendous ar
tillery hombardment. For an hour
lIIe btlHldn dTUlIeIN continued TO
pour an avalanche of explosives,
which were many gas shells. against
these defenses, and then followed
with an infantry attack in force.
The Belgian artillery replied with
a heavy barrage and this, coupled
with the fine work of the riflomen
and machine gunners promptly check
ed the German advance at Beverdyk
and eventually completely repulsed
the enemy.
At Reigersvliet, however, the Ger
mans secured footing at various
points which was due to the fact that
the floods had largely subsidized and
the enemy was able to cross with
comparatively little difficulty.
Heroic Resistance.
A Belgian commander at this jun
cture, with only nine men and
Tachine gun, occupied a bridgehead,
where he resisted three hundred Ger
mans and twelve machine guns for
an hour before help arrived in the

fiercely upon the invaders.
Sanguinary fighting followed and
at l o'clock in the afternoon the Bel
gians succeeded in re-taking the first
of seven posts lying in a semi-circlo

age battle continued until $40 o'clock
in the afternoon when the last of the
posts was regained.
The German losses were exceedingly
heavy. Forty bodies were found iy-

many pertshed under the grnelling
fire of the Belgians.

One German officer was decapitat-

Five officers and III men were cap

brought prolonged applause from 800
Illinois editors here today by an at
tack on the war departments order
that only the names and not the ad-

The editors were the guests of the
Illinois state council Of defense at a
luncheon.
Mr.. Keely, in addition to criticisng
the war department order as inflict-
ing the cruelty of uncertainty in thou
sands of homes, remarked that there
