abandon Client and asking the Belgians
not to fire on the suburbs of the town,

American troops from Ohio under the
command OF Gen. Farnsworth played q
great part In the relief of the city by
an attack on the Eecke salient, sixteen
miles southwest of Client, which was
taken by storm yesterday. There losses
were comparatively light.
In their retreat through West Flanders
the Germans were guilty OF unnecessary
cruelties and destruction and these as
sumed a more savage aspect In the VI
cinity Of Client. The town OF Deynze,
southwest of Client, suffered crueltles
recalling the German atrocities of 1914.
There was organized pillage by soldiers
under command of officers, deliberate
burning of houses and theft. Bavarian
troops. under the command of Gen. Won
Ostrowski, were conspicuous In this work.
The General himself. after being served a
meal In a private house in Deynze, tore
down the blinds and appropriated vari-
GUS souvenirs from the parlor.
One hundred and sixty-three civilians.
mostly women and children. met death
ceding the evacuation of Deynze. Thirty
four Of this number were burned 10
death in cellars where they were ordered
to seek refuge by Bavarian troops.
After giving these orders Won os-
trowslSi's soldiers are reported TO have
thrown hand grenades and incendiary
bombs into the cellars. The public
square in front of the church at Deynze
has been mined by the Germans and
civilians are still barred from It.

He whirled first against one, then
another and two Germans went down

pack of dozen enemies. Faint and
dizzy. with two legs useless and only
his hands to use he made up his mind
to die gloriously and charged straight
against the nearest enemy in an attempt
TO ram him.
Almost touching the other machine
and firing as he went the latter burst
into flames and fell just In time to clear
the nose Of the Major airplane. He

once more in an effort TO ram another
