sAPpERs FORM HUMAN BRIDGE.
Stand in River Bearing PIanks Over
Which Infantry Crosses to Victory.

With the British Armies in the Field
oct. l3,-Beyond lie Cateau, at the
Selle. yesterday British sappers, sub
merged waist deep in the chilling cur
rent Of the river. stood motionless
under hail OF bullets from machine
gun and rife, and these sappers bore
on their broad shoulders strips of
plank that formed bridge over which
the infantry passed.
This bridge of living men helped 10
cary tho British Third army. under
General RynE. across the difficult and
strongly defended valley Of the Selle.
The performance of both the Man
chcsters and the sappers in the cross
ing OF the Sclle between Le Cateau and
SoleSmes was a remarkable exhibition
OF daring and disregard of danger.
The Manchesters picked up bits OF
broken timber and planks from the
battlefield and piecinC them together
constructed RATS.
With these RATS on their shoulders
they followed the British sappers, who
bore light bridges to the bank of the
Selle.
Our covering borbar6ment fell on
time and Immediately was answered
by a barrage from the German lines.
Then our sappers plunged into the
river with their bridges, but un-.
fortunately these bridges were noS
long enough to reach from bank to
bank.
Standing there IN the stream,
shoulder to shoulder. these Britons
raised the bridges, RATS and planks TO
their broad shoulders and stood there,
across this bridge the Manchesters
stepped quickly. lightly, in single file.
Thus was the crossing OF the Selle
made. while the enemy barrage fell
and the Hun machine gunners played
the rat-a-tat-tat on their machines OF
death.
They were told 10 do the best they
could said a staff officer. describing
the attack to me al headquarters while
the fighting still was in progress.
They never hesitated a second. All

FEAR COMMERCIAL WAR.
Chilean Business Men Appeal for Pro-
tective Measures.

Santiago. Chile, Sept. 2l.-CBy NALL
Chilean business men are much con-
cerned over the prospects Of com
nercial war in South America at the
conclusion of the present conflict ana
have petitioned the national govern
ment to adopt protective measures
which will prevent dumping in
Chilean markets.
The petition was made by the Cam
ara Indutrial de Chile which CORE
suonds to industries as chambers OF
commerce do to commerce. The
'camara' asserts in its petition that
Chilean manufacturers will have to use
high priced labor and imported ra"
materials and will be unable to COM
pete against dumping methods which
had begun to be a menace TO Chilean
Industries even before the war.
The chamber informs the govern
ment that the coming commercial war
will be carried on by the big nanufac-
turing nations by fixing export prices
so low that even after freight and ex-
pense are paid, the goods can be sold
in Chile and other South American
republics at what they cost to manu-
facture while high prices at home VII!
compensate for the loss. Such meth
DDS. asserts the chamber, will ruin the
Chilean industries.
The chamber has suggested that the
government adopt the method which
il says has been tried in Canada and
New Zealand, whereby surtax above
normal tariff duties is imposed on all
goods based on the difference between
the price quoted for the imported goods
and the sale price Of the same goods
in the country of origin.
The suggestion Of the Chilean cham
Der is receiving widespread newspaper
comment in all the other South Amer
lean republics. where 1t is being urged
that the example be followed.
