No Belgian soldier is receiving more a-celaim in the French press than Emile Sapin, who at the age of 22, hes received the who, of the Order of Leopold and the cross of the Legion of Honor. Le Malin, of Paris, confesses it could nob be- lieve all the brilliant exploits at- tributed to this yopng man, who WaS a private when was' was de- clared, and who was made a Cor- poral only is month ago, but, that it has investigated through inquiries not only of Sapin himself, who is now in Cheehourg hospital, but tr/so of many others, and it cheerfully recognizes the following -achieve- men its : First, during the siege of Liege, Sapin was in the fort of Loncin. Climbing a tree, and concealed by its leaves, he killed an entire bet- tetty of heavy artillery, said te num- ber 40 men. It is claimed that the commanding officer of thia battery reached the fnot of the tree, revol- ver in 'hand. -only to fall, as the rest had fallen, from is bullet sent <Mt of Sapin's rifle. Second, two weeks later he Ter- sonallv ceiptured the flag of a iTgi- ment of Hussare, whese Colenel he also shot, Third, near Louvain, .sent out in a company of six men, Sapin suc- ceeded in capturing 40 soldiers, in- cluding one officer, Just how it has proof of such achievements, Le Matin does not say, but it adds that General Lea, of the Belgian army, and two Cab- inet Ministers, have personally gone to Cherbourg to cengratelete Seethe who is not dangereusly- wo u dad. -.A.-- Resisting Temptation.
