of Valor.
From the Uattle Front, via 1'aris,
October 12.'?The battlefield north wets
of Lille, was the point of great
interest in today's continuation of
the twenty-nine days. The cavalry i ir
of both armies has swept about the t<
country for days seeking to get 1
through or around the opposing iines j ei
o
and everywhere has encountered the
I ii
enemy. j .
A successful ruse carried out by j
a detachment of French infantry in a
the vicinity of Lens is related in the u
orders of the day. Having been ord- |,
ered to hold a position the small
squad did as throughout the day, ,
but at dusk the detachment was H
compelled to retire before an over- j,
whelming force of Hermans, lteach- q
ing a country estate the French 0
commander placed a number of y
men in the last outlying houses with
orders to rmain uut^l they heard ji
the bugle call. The rest of the p~rty K
took up a position a quarter of a 0
mile further on in the open country, j
me Germans continued their pur- t]
suit without noticing the French
riflemen in the houses. A bugle w
sounded and Are was opened, hotli n
on the front and on the rear of the v
German force, which after losing
many men, retreated. The French
reoccupied their original position .
ard saved the allies line from being 1
i i
pleiced.
S'lOOD HIS GROUND. ?
^ A J'r?-acb non-commissioned jiT.- v
cer, with thirty-two men. who had
been forgotten at an entrenched ^
advanced post near Itoye, saw 1,-iQ ?
G-rmans advancing, but the Front h- 8
rian did net bulge until their am- 1
muuiton wan spent. Then the o'llcer
ordered his men to retire
through a woods and he rejoined Ins
regiment with twenty of his c vunard.
He was promoted on the
field to I e a lieutenant, us his stand
had permitted a reinforcement of
the allied line at a critical moment.
The weather, except for some,
obi.it n't i.ts, is ideal iur militaiy
oper.'.Mo: s. Even the men occupying
expreed trenches have recovered 1
from the damp spell.
IN THE TRENCHES. 1
The digging of trenches continues
and the trenches of the opp?<s:,ig
armies approach to within 100
ty yards of each other at some places.
The men in these ditches, especially
along the line from Kheims to the
Meuse, have been Inactive often dur- :
ing the past few days and they often 1
call upon each other to come out and ''
fight. Some of the men hare be- '
come very daring; life in the bur- '
rows with the occasional turn at
rifle firing so monotonous that tliey 11
go out in search of adventure.
One party of three Algerians lelt v
their shelter and proceeded to a '
house which was still standing near 8
the lines. There they found seven v
Germans. The men fraternized and e
together searched the cellar. After v
regaling themselves on wine the Al- v
gerluns, who had brought rllles, or- 1
dered the Germans to flail in and *'
took them prisoners.
