GALI ANTRY OF BE RITISH With Four Guns to E,leven They Routed t mans Near Soissons A despatch from Havre says: Here is story told by Private Bry- ant, a British soldier, as he lay wounded in the hospital ship, of the fighting near Soiseons, on the re- treat, from Mons :— "I don't just remember the date. We haere not had time to think zef dates lately. But it was just over a. ;week ago. We were somewhere in the neighborhood of St. Quentin. "We had, been fi,gliting all day. We had picketed and watered our horses, and 'late that night thoeght -e, had seen the last of the Germans for a time. "In the morning, however, the Colonel gave orders to saddle+ We junined on our horses, and at the sarn.e moment shellS began to burst overliead. Our horses stampeded, The enemy's sharpshooters were al- ready in position and while we ware recapturing ,liorse,s, shrannel, eannister shots and bullets were making the air sing around us. "The German artillery fire in- 1,nr,,,c1 in intensity. 'We began ta e Ger wait anxiously for our own Royal Field Artillery to get into position, It was delayed. by the Let that the battery horses were being watered, Something had to be done, so we got the raa.1±ns up, despite the withering fire. Our boys soon got busy. It would have done you good. to see how talmly and quietly the boys went about their work. "Our men realized the meaning of their job. It -was to hold on un- til the artillery came ep. In other words, it was to save the regiment from a-nnihilation. Within a few minutes they wore sending 8,000 shots in as many ,seeonds among the Germans. Then the artillery arrived. We had four guns against eleven for She Germans, but some of those eleven were silenced. "It, was not Iong before the boys were itching to charge. Almost before they expected the bugle sounded, and they were off at the enemy's guns.

A despatch from London says: "There tan be no peace until the Kaiser's Ministers appear at the tents of the allied commanders and ask for terms." This is Russia's attitude, as expressed by Russian newspapers which have the ear of the Government. To all peace, pro- posals from any other source than Berlin direct, a deaf ear has 'been turned. The St. Petersburg corres- pondent- of -the London Times as- sumes from the attitude of leading R11560.41 newspapers .that there is resentment in that country over persistent efforts to obtain media- tion in behalf of Germany. Russia's attitude, he says, is irre- vocable. Russia, , will not make peace except in co-operation with her allies. 50,000 BAGS OF 'FLOUR. Manitoba Offered Ilerses,RutThese Were Not Wanted.

Their uniforms have no metal but- tons, but all carry in their pockets a set of copper buttons surmounted These, they ex - their tunics when of time. The majority of the pri- soners had been wounded in their first action, but if they fought Bale they marched much. "We never did less than 45 or 50 kilometres a day," said one of the men. "The field kitchens had difficulty in keep- ing up, but nevertheless we usually had one meal. But the marching exhausted us, One day we march- ed for 22 hours, interrupted by only one hour's sleep. "This war is a terrible thing," said a Saxon infantryman with tears in his eyes. "I left there," pointing to the east, "my wife and children. Do you think I am here willingly?

The ser- geant summoned all his energy and succeeded in shooting the lieu- tenant with his revolver. The Ger- mans rushed on ehe sergeant, struck at him with their rifles and 'kicked him and dragged him to the fifteen prisoners. Tnen there was a short delay while the German sol- diers sought orders from their cap- tain. While awaiting the captain the wounded sergeant asked those looking on to bring him water. A small boy ran and got a eup, out of which the sergeant .drank. .The German captain arrived in time to see the incident, and raved tat the boy as a "young scoundrel," ancl declared he would sho'ot the boy and the Tesit of them too. There, &Lang- ing his mind, he thrust a eifle in the boy's hands and told him to shoot shot the fufibeen miners. The order to fire was given and ehe fifteen fell. The captam fell also, for the boy, quickly sevinging round, shot hina point blank. "The Gerinan n.oldiers bayoneted the boy to death."
