CHAPTER v.

Not far from Sommepy, the French
rear guard stopped again. Four bat
teries of our artillery were brought
into position and our company, along
with machine guns, were ordered to
protect the artillery. The artillery Of
ficers did not think this sufficient pro-
lection because the airplanes had dis
covered the presence of strong French
cavalry detachments and cavalry at
tack was suspected. However, a
stronger guard could not be provided
and there was nothing to De done but
take our position and make the best
of the situation. We dug ourselves in
to the right and left Of the batteries,
in field of small pine trees. The ma
chine guns were set up and supplied
with ammunition. We were then given
instructions as to what to do In the
event of a cavalry attack. An old
major of infantry, with white hair,
took command. Our unit was placed
with the infantry, but our "brave" of
ficers disappeared suddenly. To them
the defense of the fatherland was the
business of a private. Since we had
been assigned to assist infantry, our
officers considered themselves super
Suous and took French leave.
Our instructions were as follows: In
the event of cavalry attack, every
thing must be quiet. The gun must
be pointed but hidden. The machine
CUR must not be fired until the major
In command gives the order. Then
there must be lively, quick fire. Our
batteries fired violently at biplane
flying high over them which gave Sig
nails with star shells which were read
only by the observer.
This state of affairs affects only
pioneer" officers who, when their
units are attached to infantry or chas-
seur divisions, scarcely ever take part
in a battle. This was the case with
our officers during my whole war ca
reer. They remained far away from
the gunfire in comfortable security.
This Is also the case with many In
fantry captains and almost all higher
officers. Majors, colonies, etc., never
take part III allo\ns a "esS
told. and several times l observed this
myself.
But the expected attack did not
come, the enemy's infantry was not to
be seen. We prepared to resume our
march and were all ready to move
when the order came to bivouac. The
spot where we were 10 rest was as
usual fixed by the staff so that they
knew where to find us at any time.
Hardly had we reached the place when
our field kitchen. which we supposed
had been lost appeared as If 1t had
come out of the ground. Those In
charge of the field kitchen had re-
ceiyed no knowledge Of our losses OF
the last few days and had cooked for
the old number. They were greatly
surprised on seeing instead of brave
company OF strong pioneers" lot
of ragged. exhausted. crushed human

That very canny person, President
Kruger, was once called upon, as King
Solomon before him, to pass judgment
In a matter Of ownership. The case was
that of two brothers, who had been left

division which had to be made. They
agreed that, rather than take the mat

CHAPTER IV-Continued.

The dead bodies were seized by two
men, one at the head and the other at
the feet, and thrown into the ditch.
Corpses were handled exactly as was
q board to be used In building bridge.
Legs and arms were tossed likewise
into the ditch. Dead horses and dam
aged batteries had to be removed. We
were not strong enough to remove dead
horses. We managed to capture horse
which was running wild and hitched
him to the carcasses. Corpses hanging
in the trees were left there. No one
cared anything about them.
Canteens and knapsacks Of the dead
were searched for food and drink and
whatever we found was eaten with the
greatest relish
French soldiers who had died of
sunstroke covered the road. Others
crawled to right and left Of the road
and waited there for relief or death.
We did not dare to help them. The
order was to advance and we had to
march on and on. The captain told US
we had to pursue the fleeing enemy
with all our strength and much dis
content was manifest on receipt Of this
order.
After being on our feet day and
Night, Staying like barbarians, taking
no time to eat or rest, we continued to
receive commands to maintain the pur-
suit with all haste. The captain I'M
derstood how we felt and tried to
pacify us by friendly conversation.

SARATOGA IN WARTIME.
The Summer City seems to Care Little
About the Conflict.

The races are over at Saratoga. The
tipsters and the touts depart, the mu-
sic and the cheering dies until another
summer rolls around. The fascination
Of the ponies seems not to lose its
flavor even in wartime. In fact, at
Saratoga only a splash of sornbre khaki
had been visible here and there against
the background Of brilliant gowns and
Sporty male apparel.
The gay, glad little city of Saratoga
seems to dispel the gloom Of war
maybe that is why it is so popular. Elk.
cepting those unfortunatesi whose
dope was wrong its visitors give
that is as distinctly q part of Saratoga
as it5 waters are. The rambling, re-
splendent hotels and the numerous
"rigs" lend an atmosphere reminiscent
of the glory of bygone days. Dull, in.
deed, is the soul that does not respond
to the old.fashioned quaintness than
greets the sojourner at Saratoga.
While Saratoga may appear to be
exempted from this war, the scars
of earlier wars, now shrines, are still
exhibited proudly. No town in Bel
GUM was more cruelty attacked than
Saratoga at the great massacre, which
suggests that the German idea of civil
ization is about on par with that of
the ignorant savages of $50 years ago
Saratoga has also contributed her quo
ia to world history by reason of hav.
ing given its name to one of the IL
decisive battles of all time. Further
the little city has sent it's share of men
to the front willingly in this war and
has shown that it spends as literally
as nit receives by subscribing generously
to the Liberty loan and Red Cross
fund. And, too, Saratoga is peculiarly
affected by this war because it has dis
placed German spas from leadership in
the estimation of Americans.
But, on the whole, the grim god of
war simply does not fit in at Saratoga
in August. There love is made, bets are
laid, and politics played-war or nc

DEER FALLS DOWN CHUTE.

man in AShuelot Mill.

A fireman at Robertson Bros mill
in lower Ashuelot, N. H., got fright
Thursday afternoon, Feb. 90, when a
deer came down q coal chute into the
boiler room. 1t was found that the
deer crossed the railroad tracks and
got into the chute, coming rapidly
down it and over a wheelbarrow and
the fireman. ''r
The deer had been shot, although
this was not at first known, and died
within a short time, the bullet, which
was from low powered rifle passing
through above the lungs and under the
spine. Deputy Wellington was notified
and investigated, following tracks Of
two men who had evidently been after
the deer and who followed it to the
railroad. .....,-t..-t

BURKE LEAVES NORTHERN R. R.
Former Station Agent in Brattleboro
Offers Services to Government-on
Way to New York.

James II. Burke, formerly station
agent in Brattleboro and for the past
several years general superintendent
of the Northern Railway of Costa Rica
with headquarters at San Jose, has
given up his position with that road
and offered his services to the United
States government through the minister
at Costa RIGA and the Vermont repre-.
sentatives in congress.
The Northern Railway is part of
the United Fruit Co. property, the bust
ness of which has been seriously inter
fered with through the taking of ships
and the loss of foreign trade. Mr.
Burke does not know whether his serv-
ices are to be accepted. He has left
Costa Rica and will stay a while in
Cuba in order not to make too sudden
change from the hot climate of Costa
Rica, and then will come to New York
reaching there late this month, and he
is likely to come to Brattleboro in a
few weeks.
