Story Of Illinois Soldier.
Private John B. Flocken of Olney.
H., one Of the first men to reach
Torcy. said today: '.aSasssFr 7S.s
Il never saw such wonderful spirit.
Not one Of our fellows hesitated In
the face Of the rain Of the machine
gun fire, which seemed impossible to
get through. Every German seemed
70 have a machine gun. They fought
like Wildcats. but the Americans were
too much for them"
The German prisoners taken by the
Americana. many Of whom were mere
boys, had only been In the line for
two days. Some Of them wore the
white bands Of the Prussian guard.
The Importance Of the operations of
the Americans on the Marine sector

that only the day before the Ameri-
cans entered the line the Germans ad-
vanced about ten kilometers. The
Americans are now holding the Paris
road near La Thiolet for a number of
kilometers.
Four Nights Without sleep.
Graphic stories of last nights fight

point the Germans crouched behind
boulders and opened fire when the
Americans were within ten feet Of
them. One man who participated In
an encounter of this kind said:
Some OF us had not slept for four
nights. but we were not tired. We

WOMAN TERRIBLY
BURNED; May DIE
Clothing Of Mrs. Wayne Larsen, 81.
Fourteenth Street, Ignites While
Ironing.
AGED MOTHER TO THE RESCUE
Follows Daughter, Who Ran Screaming
Into Back Yard and Rolls Her
In the Snow.

Mrs. Mayme Larsen, 819 Fourteenth
street, was seriously, perhaps fatally
burned, while at work ironing clothes
in the kitchen Of her home at II
o'clock this morning.
The unfortunate woman was about
to place one Of the irons on the stove,
when in some unaccountable manner
her apron became ignited. The fire
spread rapidly and in moment size
ran screaming out into the yard, her
fiimsy garments mass of flames. Her
aged mOnther, who was in an adjoin-
ing room at the time, followed as
quickly as she could into the back
yard. She rolled her daughter in the
snow and finally succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames, but not until
the young woman had been fearfully
burned.
DR.. Joseph DeSilva was called and
after a temporary treatment she was
removed to St. Anthony's hospital.
Recovery In Doubt.
DR.. DeSilva stated later today that
Mrs. Larsen's condition is very seri-
Gus. Her right leg was literally baked
She has numerous other burns over
the body. 1t will require several days
to determine whether or not she will
survive.

the pace they desired. On the way
they finally lost the last shred of
self-control, let the prince drop half
senseless on the ground and then a
score of men thrust their bayonets into
his body. So died Prince Sangushko.
His murderers, like savage beasts, tore
his body in pieces.
"The fate of his nieces, the two
COuntesses RzysZczwski, was more
terrible than that of the prince. They
had managed to escape by back way
and had got to the market-place of the
town. There they were recognized,
and soldiers at once seized them.
Those two youthful countesses, whose
exquisite loneliness had made them
the center of all eyes in the salons of
the palaces of Warsaw and whose
goodness and sweetness had made
them beloved by the people of Slavuta,
were defended for a time by the Cath
Ole priest of Slavuta, who had known
them from childhood and prepared
them for first communion. But the
soldiers refused to be deprived of their
victims and showered blows with the
butt-ends of their rifles on the cour-
ageous priest, who fell and was beat
en- to death. 1t is perhaps well that
the sufferings Of the two countesses
ended in death.
1.-THE day ended with the soldiers
running amuck in the town, murder
ing and maltreating peaceful inhabi-
tants, while the scene was lit up by
the flames of the blazing castle of the
Sangushko."

ANOTHER ONE THE
ROCK ISLAND HAS
TIME EXPLAINING

Another one on the Rock Island
lines.
About 2 o'clock this morning, train
No. 5, west bound, lost the trucks OIL
of the tender without the engineer or
fireman knowing it.
The accident is believed to have
happened near Morris and the train
was mile out of that city before the
loss was discovered. The train was a
double header and the one engine was
removed from the train as soon as
the trucks were missed The best
part of 1t is, the trucks cannot be
found.
The incident will remind many of
the accident that happened to freight
train short while ago on the same
road. A fast freight was on its way
and a loaded freight car jumped the
track in the middle of the train and
broke its couplings, leaving the track
and falling in a ditch alongside the
track. The train was split into two
sections, but the momentum of the
cars in the rear closed the gap and
the crew never knew that the car had
left the train until after the train had
reached its destination.
