CO.B CONGRATULATED BY MAJOR DREISBAC))

Officer of First Infantry Praises Work of Local Militiamen Very Highly.

Captain Gerhardt A. Monninger and the 'boys" of Company B, winners of the prize for exhibition drill of the Butt's manual, at the recent state encampment at Fort Benjamin Harrison, were recipients Tuesday of a congratulatory letter from Major Clyde P. Dreisbach, of the First infantry, of which Company is a part.

Major Dreisbach was profuse in his praises of the work of the Terre Haute militiamen and extended his thanks through Captain Monninger. The letter said in part: "The battalion commander takes this opportunity to congratulate you on the company you brought to camp. You know, without saying, that I was proud of it. I admired the spirit with which you went after things in company, and you got results. Far more gratifying to me than the winSung of the prize over the entire state, was the thing which made the winning of the prize possible. That wm the discipline in the company. "By discipline, I mean not only ready obedience to authority, but In its larger sense, as made manifest, in an anxiety and love to do one's duty. And

Company certainly did love to do it when it came to Butt's manual. Nor fleed I limit it to that particular exercise, for I found you ready for any duty you were called upon to perform. I am expecting something unusual from Company in the future."

Captain Monninger said that he ani the "boys" were pleased to receive such an encouraging letter, but he failed to share any of the credit for himselfHe insisted that "it was the boys" who made the winning of the prize possible and who exhibited the discipline which attracted the attention of the commander of the battalion and other officers as well-

Since the rctiirn from the' state encampment, the members of Company have manifested an unusual interest in the work of organization, and their attendance for drill practice is worthy of commendation, according to their captain.

PRINCE VON BTJELOW WAS SHOT BY INJURED BELGIAN PRIVATE

Story is Told That Soldier Saw Prince Studying Map, Picked Up Gun From Ground, and Fired.

LONDON, Sept. 2.—10:35 a. m.—In a dispatch from Amsterdam the local correspondent of the Central News says that the shot which ultimately resulted in the death of Prince Von Buelow, one of the German generals, was fired by a Belgian private named Rosseau, who has since been knighted by King Albert for his conduct in the battle of Haelen. Rosseau was lying badly wounded among a group of dead comrades when he saw a German officer stanading beside his horse ana studying .a map. Picking up a rifle from beside a dead German Rosseau fired at this officer and wounded him. The officer proved to be Prince Von Buelow. Exchanging his hat for the GermaJi general's helmet and taking the general's horse, Rosseau made his way to the Belgian lines and was there placed in a hospital at Ghent.

FRENCH FLYER OVER BRUSSELS

Promises Inhabitants That Deliverance Is on the Way. LONDON, Sept. 2.—The correspondent in Antwerp of an Amsterdam newspaper says that a French biplane appeared over Brussels Saturday and in a hail of German bullets twice circled the town, dropping hundreds of pamphlets containing the message: "Take courage! Deliverance soon."

The aviator then made off after giving the spectators a daring performance of the loop-the-loop.

The correspondent adds that all the saloons and cafes in Brussels are compelled to close at 9 o'clock in the evening. The German soldiers there are behaving properly, but their officers are accused of arrogance.

ENGLISHMAN TELLS OF BATTLE NEAR MORS

Says British Had Hardly Been Ambushed in Grass Before Germans Appeared.

'LONDON, Sept. 2.—4 a. nv—The following story of the fighting near Mens was told to an Express reporter by one of the British wounded who was brought here Monday: "We had left the shelter of a little forest and opened out, supported by the North country regiment. Our coloneel warned us that the German Infantry was advancing. "We had hardly extended ourself prone along the grass when patches of blue and green were seen on the sky line and soon battalions of the enemy were made out following each other at regular intervals. "Our batteries let rip and gouged holes through them. 'Bravo' shouted my platoon commander as he watched through his glasses.

Artillery Does Damage.

"Now the order was given to fix bayonets. Before the enemy arrived the artillery fire had increased until it was an inferno. German aviators were directing their guns and at times were fired from aeroplanes but our shots were ineffective. Our poor gunners had an awful time as the German cavalry got around behind us and charged right up to the guns. Very few of the Germans escaped, however, for whole platoons rushed to the rescue, emptying their magazines as they ran. "A moment later the Germans were on us from the front. We let them come until their breast rose above the neighboring hillock and then decimated them. They fell back in confusion and dropped to the ground. "Another line came, which we treated the same way. Scores of machine guns were turned on us, however, and we were ordered to prepare to charge. "On the word of command we sprang from the ground as one man and with yell after yell charged the advancing Prussians. As we neared their ranks we fired Indiscriminately and a few remained to cross with us. The remainder rushed off and were shot in the back as they went. Th left more than half their regiment on the field in killed and wounded.'*
