 Other Germans appeared west of Les Rues Nerts, a southern suburb Of Masnieres. Black collected all the signaIlers, cooks. orderljos and other servants available, and with two com panies of regulars delivered an attack toward RUcs Nertes. The Germans fell back and fierce hand-to-hand fighting followed. Black led his little army from house to house and as often as the Germans made a stand he drove them out. until finally the whole suburb had been cleared with the exception of one machine gun whose crew of eight men kept pump ing bullets into the British ranks.
 Black charged this machine gun with one orderly. Four other brave ordcrlies had been shot down beside him previously and this one also was caught as the machine gun was reach ed. Bl2els then attacked the Germans with a revolver in each hand and shot down the last man of eight. This cleared Rues NerteS of the enemy and
 
 place, Black had been wounded dur ing the fighting. but he held on to his command until relief came next day.
 This story is not the only one to be related of that bitter day about MaSneres. A regiment which had the stiltest part Of the fighting in the town was made up of troops known as "die-hardS,' and they fought all day with rifles and bayonets at close quarters ant never gave a step in the face of a great Onslausht made against. them During the fighting the colonel had been wounded in one eye and so serious was his injury that his other eye became useless. His troops con tinued to be so hard pressed that ii seemed probable they would give way.
 The colonel knew they needed all the onc0ura cement possible to enable them to bear the awful strain. He called for an orderly, and led by his servant he started making a round of the front line to speak words of encouragement to his troops. For hours this blind man with bandaged eyes kept up his tramp among his men with his hand in that of the or derly who Was his only guide. This heroic example was the final word for the Tommjes. They loved their colonel and they stood and died for him and ucld their line.
 NaSnleres produced another thrill- ing incident next day. The German : renewed their attack and came down in waves Their assault al the cross ing al the canal bank was particularly fierce and the British, after sustain ing the shock for some time. began to wavcr and the general rushed to the spot, lie took a stand in the midst of his troops and rallied them about him along the bank. He spoke to them with assurance and pleaded that they he calm. The Germans were sending forward another great wave of infantry.
 IL Was thcn that the general un- consciously echoed words of the ia nous order issued by an American general al the battle of Bunker Hill- steady, men. steady, do not fire un' til you see the whites of their eyes" 7" The crossing was held and the Ger mans driven back.

 With the British Armies in France Dee. 9.-The full story of the heroism of a British captain who was so moved with hatred of the Germans for crip- bling his child with bomb. that he attacked and killed eight of them with q club and Withstood sudden Ger man onslaught by his inspiring leader ship, has just been received. The tale has made the captain's name byWord of galluntry and bravery in the British camp. Here are the facts:
 When the Germans delivered their tremendous assault against Masnieres and Marcoing during their general of fenSiVe on November 13, those two towns and the territory about them were being held by a division of Eng fish troops. On the staff of the com manding general there was d flashing captain who may be designated as Captain Black for purposes of this narrative.
 Black was man of long service and much beloved by all the troops. He had been q jovial companion until recently. when during a German air raid over England his baby girl was crippled for life by bomb. Black had become bitter against the Ger mans anC had sworn that he would exact full penalty for the ajrman's $ decd.
 The captain little knew when he turned in on the night of the 2Jth of November how soon he would be able to get his revenge. Next morning the Germans attacked Masnieres in force and the brigade to the right of the troops holding the town was forced to fall back The brigade in the town, however. stood firm and fought the enemy off. Meanwhile waves of Ger mans had swept by to the south of the town and were swarmlns westward.
 Captain Black came out of his head quarters south of Narcoing to find five Germans already ill possession of 2 great dump nearby. So quickly had the enemy advanced that this Was the first intimaton that they were nearby. Black had in his hand heavy walk ing stick which was his only weapon, Without moments hesitation he charged the dump alone and beat about him SO fiercely that he brained all five opponents before they reeov-

II is very probable that some definite action in the matter of the extension Of the lines of the Arkan- sas. Louisiana and Midland railroad from Monticello to this city, will be taken when General Manager Ford comes to Pine Fluff about the middle Of this month.
 Secretary r. E. Bloom of the Cham Der of Commerce. received a letter yesterday form MT. Ford. in which that official stated that he would be ill this city about. the 10th of this month and that he would come pre- pared 10 talk concerning the eXten- sion of the lines. The matter of the extension of this railroad 10 this city has been under discussion for some time and Mr. Bloom hopes to be able to secure this work.
 Surveying parties have been at work for some time mapping out vari- ous routes to this city and when tle officials of this road were in this city recently they stated that the matter had been given favorable consider alton and that if a suitable route could be obtained it is very probable that the lines will be extended. This would mean the opening of a large territory for the local merchants and would mean the spending of muc4 money in this city.

 Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The con dition is perfectly natural. It is just as natural as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never so active as youth. Tne muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are mus cles. {i9Wul{
 So all old people need Cascarets. One might as we'll refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect tlis gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow els must be kept active. This is i'm portant at all ages, but never so much as at fifty.
 Age is net time for harsh phy- sics. Youth may occasionally whip the bowels into activity. but a lash can't be used every day. What the bowels of the old need is a gentle and natural tonic. One that can be constantly used without harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets, and they c~st only 10 cents per box at any drug store. They work while you sleep.-Advt.

LABARATORY STOPS
 GERMAN SPY WORK
British Censors Have Efficient Spy Catching Organization Working
 Through Postal System.
Correspondence Assoriatcd PfcsS.t


 London, Dec. 2S.-Detection of four notorious German spies through lab oratory methods of discovering hidden wgiting in documents, has been accom- plished by the efficiency of the postal censorship in London, it is announced. Securities worth S5,u00,0O0 have been stopped in course of transit for enemy use, and SS. ,000 worth of stock or bonds detained for investigation. En- emy communication through the mail his been completely cut off. and public money has been saved by the dlScov- cry of attempts to hoard vital sup plies, to the extent of S3.2oO, 900 ln- volved in relatively small tranSac- tion in one important commodity. Du- ring this year 10000 "cloaks,' or in termediaries for enemy trade, have been detected and their activities stopped.
 The staff of the heaquarters Of the postal censorship totals i,2Ge, of whom 3.179 are women. Their work requires such education and skill that the government had difficulty in se- curing qualified employees and a school was established to train candidates to detect codes, secret writing and other subterfuges. The average number of letters censored each day is over 250,- 600, weighing about four tons.

 Stockholm, Dee. 29.-Thc Ameri- cans talk a great deal about paying their debt of gratitude to France in cured during the revolution, but an other debt of gratitudc-and this to Swedan-appears to have been forgot ten, writes Prof. Wilhelm Lundstrom of Gothenburg, prominent Swedish education and author He continues:
 "Sweden was the first neutral state that recognized the United States and concluded treaty with it. It was Sweden that introduced the United States to the diplomatic world and was the first state that, while not at war with England, offered it's friend ship to the young republic, whose con tinued existence was still insecure.
 Ut was in June. 17S2, when, upon the order of Gustavus III. the Swed- ish minister in Paris, Gustavus Philip Creutz, got into communication with the Americans agent in France, Ben jamin Franklin. It was nothing less than treaty with Europe's olda kingdom which Creutz offered to Franklin and the free states of his land.
 "Franklin himself. as well as his countrymen, grasped with thankful ness the offered hand. the treaty was signed in April. 17s3, and remained of practical benefit to the United States for long time. The most important aspect of the matter was. however that this treaty signitied the introduc- ton of the United States into interna tional relations as a recognized power
