The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1918-08-19

A few days ago an advertisement
appeared in one of our papers:
Wanted a gentlewoman with a
pleasant telephone voice." Gentle
woman-the word takes us back to
the good old days. Gentlewoman
means a woman of good birth and
breeding In America we can easily
pass the matter of birth for accord
ing to Thomas Jefferson and his
friends and the French philosophers,
all men and presumably all women
are born free and equal. Surely
there is no better opportunity for
showing good breeding than when
the telephone is taken in hand.
Pleasant telephone voices are by no
means rare in Ocala, and there are
several Offices where the telephone
voice sheds cheer even when they
cannot give the desired information.
Speaking personally, our telephone
girls are always anxious to be Of
service, and their voices imply their
anxiety to be Of service, and express
to all their regret at not being able
to answer any question satisfactorily.
But back to voices in general. They
are many, and to student in the
arts varied. There ere the calm,
subdued, and one might say leisure
voice. The calm voice Is low and
fluf1iness in dress and certainly and
surely are not associated with the
chewing gum and gentleman friends
voice. The calmn voice is low and
distinct even in giving numbers, for
it is the gentlewomans voice. One
recognizes it at once. The wonder
is that women not connected profes-
sionally with the telephone do not
| consciously or unconsciously learn by
instinct from those calm, delightfully."-
intonated ladies-the gentlewoman.
Was it Oliver Wendell Holmes who
said that the Boston telephone voice
was the product of the east winds
and Goldfish? And that some sounds
like the maids cracking ice so cold
and brittle-a shrill staccato, that Is
nerve-racking and embarrassing,
highst4ung and domineering. Poets
and novelists all endow their women
with beautiful voices, charmingly
suave, clear and distinct. A gentle
woman Of the old south so far for.
gets her dignity and breeding. It's
mate, paramount under all condi-
tons; and the world knows.-Ocala
Banner.

Germans Captured at Xivray Show Respect
&, For Fighting Quality Of Americans

ravines and slipped through the hol-
lows. The sharp ears of sentries
alone prevented total surprise.
Their guns laid down a heavy box
barrage that prevented the reinforc-
ing of the front line. One platoon,
led by Lieutenant Doan, from Maine,
got through the first curtain Of fire.
Doan even went through the second
with some volunteers, but that was
all the help that could be sent to the
% 5men that were holding the line
attacked. They were only one 10
three but they fought in way to
surprise and dismay the six hundred
Germans.
One machine gun section In the
village was reduced to two men,
Monfort Wyckoff and John Flynn.
Their gun jammed and Flynn kept
the Germans off with his revolver
while Wyckoff got the quick-firer 60
ing again. They held their ground
to the end. Two other men, unable
to get sight at the Germans from
their trench climbed the parapet and
stood there erect firing their auto
mates from the shoulder. Two in
fantrymen crawled out of a shell to
get a better aim.
The Germans had lost third of
their 600 men when growing daylight
impaired the effectiveness Of their
smoke screen and they began to re.
tire. The fifty odd unwounded Am
orleans left out of 225 went over the
top after them.
Two hundred is a conservative es.
innate of the German losses for our
men buried forty-seven of them on
the field and there were more corpses
in the tall grass facing the position,
out of reach. Thus the Germans lost
nearly as many as they had facing
them during the fight
One of the heroes of the day was
cook who had been dismissed from
the service on account of loose habits
with respect to drink. When sober
he was possessed Of an astonishing
amount of perseverance. He had
foiled all efforts Of the officers to put
him out of the division. He left one
regiment to appear in another. He
passed from one company to another
until he had reached the last one. II
he was thrown out of that it was all
over with his soldering. He was
one of the volunteers that wen
through the fight giving first aid tt
the wounded under the slfarpest fire
from the assailants.

With the American Troops In
France, Aug 15.-Though the Amer
lean troops have had three engage
ments in the Toul sector during the
past three months men in the di
vision say there has been just one
fight"
The big raid on Apremont in April
they call "the Apremont affair; they
refer to the attack on Seicheprey
ten days later as the "Seicheprey
thing; but, the morning of June 1f
at Xivray, they say, there was Q
fight"
This distinction does no wrong to
the defenders of Apremont and
Seicheprey. The men did their best
there, and that best was as good
as could be expected under the cir
cumstances, but their best then was
not so good as their best at Xivray
That is the significance given to the
distinction by French officers. They
say that it was at Xivray the mer
holding the sector showed they had
learned how to do what must be
done in the front line.
Xivray has similar meaning tC
the Germans in that sector if the evi
dence of prisoners may be trusted
The men captured there show in
creased respect for the fighting quail
tiles Of the Americans and betray q
deeper awe of the American machine
gun.
1t is now disparagement of the
work the ordinary rifle did there tc
say that the quick-fires decided the
issue. Two companies Of infantry
without dugouts to shelter them held
their grounds on the right Of the
position through a heavy artillery
preparation and kept the enemy from
bringing up reinforcements through
out the fight. Meanwhile, In the
center at Xivray and on the left, the
machine gunners did the rest.
The enemy's plan according tc
prisoners, was to force the village
destroy the defence work, make the
place untenable and take prisoners
The effort was we'll ORGANIZED ant
might have succeeded but for the
work Of the quick-firers.
Six hundred men advanced to thu
attack in no less than dozen differ
ent columns, led by two hundred
picked Bavarian storming troops
They came up on the right flank, OF
the left and on the center unde
the cover of smoke, making 'darl
night still darker. They crept up tn

growing influx of work.
At the embassy in pre-war times
there were two attacnes-naval anc

BEARS ATE SOLDIERS PIES
Mascots Made Raid on company's
Dessert and Right of Way Was
Not Disputed by Guards.

Pies, big deep ones, made from APP
pies, were on the noon mess menu of
E Company, Forty-tirst infantry, the
other day, says the St. Paul Pioneer,
but members of the company whose
tastes run to after-dinner sweets had
10 patronize the candy stands at Fort
Smelling to paeify their appetites
for dessert.
1t all happened because two
'.teeny, weenyH bears, unlike those
in the RED Riding Hood" fable,
who eraved porridge only, discovered
that apple pies make fairly good
luneheons even for bears.
A delivery man from a local
bakery had just deposited so luscious
pies ON a table outside the company
kitchen. when two baby bears, which
Carlos Avery, state game and fish
commissioner, lent the regiment for
mascots, escaped from their box cage
and started to roam beyond its pre-
einets in search of food, fun and
frOlic.
Two rockies on kitchen police
started to bring in the pies when the
young bruins had convinced Them
selves that pastry is edible. The rock
les didn't dispute the right of way or
wait to set up prior rights of their
comrades. They fled down the street,
leaving the bears in undisturbed pos
session.
Those pies which they had not
consumed were mauled and wrecked
beyond redemption.
