Phone 89 HISTORIC FIGHT FOR • LIFE BY "L" BATTERY One of War's Macterpieccs of Dis- ciplined Herotam and Britteh Dogooedneae Here is Conan Doyle'e account of the famous fight of "L" Battery at Le Cateau in the retreat from Mons. It was a misty morning, and, peer- ing through the haze, tut officer per- ceived that from the top of a low hill about seven hundred yards away three mounted men were looking down upon them, They were the ob- servation officers of three four -gun German batteries. Before the British could realize the situation the guns dashed up and came into action with shrapnel at point-blank range. The whole twelve poured their fire into the disordered bivouac before them. The slaughter and confusion were horrible. Numbers of the horses and men were killed and wounded, and three of the guns were dismount- ed. It was a most complete surprise, and promised to be an absolute die - aster, A body of German cavalry had escorted the gaits and their rifles added tet the volume of fire, Trapped, But Unbeaten It is at such moments that the grand power of disciplined valor comes to bring order out of chaos. Everything combined to make de fence difficult --the chiling hour of the morning, the suddenness of the attack, its appalling severity, and the immediate loss of guns and men. A similar road ran behind the British position, and from the edge of this the dismounted cavalrymen brought their rifles and their machine gun into action. Tliey suffered heavily from the pelting gusts of shrapnel. Young Captain de Crespigny and many othe: good Inon wero beaten down by it The sole hope lay in the guns. Three were utterly disabled. There was t• rush of officers and men to bring the other three into action. • Sclater• Booth, the major of the battery, and one lieutenant were already clown Captain Bradbury took command and cheered on the men. Two of thr• guns were at once put out of action so all united to work the one' that remained. Homeric Valor What follows is Homeric. Lieuten- ant Gifford in rushing forward was hit in four places. Bradbury's leg was shattered, but he lay beside the trail encouraging the others. Lieuten- ant Mundy, standing wide as obser- vation officer, was mortally wounded. The limber could not be got along- side and the shell had to be man- handled. In bringing it up Lieuten- ant Campbell was shot. Immediately afterwards another shell burst over the gun, killed the heroic Bradbury, and wounded Sergeant Darell, Driver Osborne, and Gunners Nelson and Derbyshire, the only remaining men. But the fight went on. The bleeding men served the gun so long as they could move, Osborne and Derbyshire crawling over with the shells, while Nelson loaded and . Darell laid. Os- borne and Derbyshire fainted from :loss of blood and lay between limber and gun. Two Victoria Crosses and commissions came to the battery which was later rescued. , RUSSIA'S RESOLVE YESi LIFT A CORN OFF WITHOUT rAINl Cincinnati authority tells how to dry up a corn or callus so it lifts off with fingers You corn -pestered -nen and woolen need euifer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cinciunati authority, because a few dropsof freeze pe applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn er hardened cans loosens so it can be lifted out, rapt and all, without pain. A small bottle of Pree o e costa very y little at any drug store, but will posi- tively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to irritate the surrounding skin. If your druggist hasn't any freeaone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. It is flue stuff and acts like a ohartn every tints. To Hold Bulgaria Responsible For Her Unprecedented Crime The following semi-official state- ment was issued in Petrograd: The Bulgarian newspaper Narodni Prava stated that the Russo -Roumanian troops massacred the peaceable Bul- garian population in the Dobrudja. This calumny by the Bulgarian jour- nal would not be worthy of attention if it did not emphasize once again the unworthy conduct of Bulgaria in the present war. "Russia is firmly resolved to punish the personages of the Bulgarian Gov- ernment who treacherously allied their country with the enemies of her in- variable protector, who gave her her political existence and suffered so many sacrifices for her. Moreover, Russia 'does not demean herself to wreak vengeance for her just iudigna- tion on the defenceless Bulgarian population. "Bulgaria as a sovereign unit will. ' be held respon :ible for her unprece- dented crime. By disseminating malicious calumnies Bulgaria wilI not force Russia to turn aside from her fixed purpose, nor will she gain fresh laurels for her black treachery to. wards Russia, and Siavism, and the just cause for which the Entente Powers are fighting," GREAT FATHER JOFFRE French General as Seen by English Pen -Journalist Lord ANortllcliffe gave the following description of the victor of the Marne: "Joffre wears a pale blue vareuse or tunic, of very simple proportions, no decorations, save three gold stars on his arm and on tile cuffs, and the red trousers with the black striper. As that great, grey head rose from the writing table the impression of the lean upon me was that of massive- ness. The great head of Joffre, the iron chin, the kind, rather sad eyes, are quite unlike the photographs and equally unlike our stupid notion of what we call 'the average French• man' Pere .toffrs is from B.ivesaltes, in the Pyrenees-Orientales, and he speaks slowly, and with no more gee - tura than a Scotsman, In the rich accent of the Midi. • 11 Trade With Russid The trade between Vladivostok and Vancouver is enormous.

IN FRANCE In France we are still pressing onward, In France we are doing our bit, In France the soldiers are thinking, Of the war which we'll never forget. The sky overhead is cloudy, The ground underfoot is plowed, The Lord in the Heavens will guide us To the Land where the Maple Leaf grows. The marching is long and dreary, The cannons still loudly roar, • And the bullets, as they whistle, Seem to say we're winning the war. But when comes the time to fix bay- onets And the officer in command says „Ota„ We go over the top with the best of luck. And capture the line as before. The trenches are long and are wind- ing, The saps are big and small But we often find them big enough To duck when Fritz sends. shells He does not like our artillery, He does not like us at all, And he says "Please atop firing, Or back to Germany I must go."
