SAVES SEVEN OF THE ENEMY

Wounded German Rescues Frenchmen and Becomes a Hero In the Hospital;

Paris.—“ Among the wounded men from the fighting on the Yser was a young German with a bloodless, intellectual face. His head was a mass of bandages. He had just been taken from a Red Cross train and placed tenderly in a bed in an improvised hospital. The nurses gathered around him; some of them in tears. 44 ‘He saved the Hyes of seven French soldiers.’ This, written on a blood-stained sheel of packing paper pinned upon a blanket, told that the young German was a hero. That was all the French ambulance men found time to tell us.”
