Escapes In Heat-of Battle.

Reports indicate it sometimes takes a lot to kill a modem soldier, the New York World states. Sergeant Fougere of France received eight bullet wounds, a broken arm and other injuries, and although shot in the calf, thigh and ankle, escaped being captured by Germans and limped ten miles to his regiment Another French Boldler received six bullet and three bayonet wounds and is recovering. The French yar office estimates only two men are killed out of every one hundred hit The penetration is so clean one soldier did not know he had been hit for three hours, and another bullet went through two soldiers and lodged in a cavalryman’s saddle.
