WIVES RISlj THEIR * LIVES Meet Soldier-Husband* at Front Ju*t for a Kisa or a Word as They Pass Throjigh a Town— Pathos in Many Reunions. By RENE ARCOS. (Correspondent oR Chicago Dally News.) Near the Itench Front. —Two wounded French officers have given me ah account pt the recent fighting near Berry-au-Ikc. They came and pounded on thej door of this wayside inn 12 kilometers (7.2 miles) behind the firing line idle at night. The proprietress, fearing that gendarmes had come to arrest her for selling drinks after eight o’clock, did pot answer at first, but pounding, kicking and shouting caused her to change her mind. j There entered a second lieutenant and an adjutant both wounded, one supporting the other. One was wounded in the ar|a and one in the leg. The J second lieutenant was gay and looked well, but how shall I describe thd poor adjutant? A rough beard filled the hollows of his cheeks and his pale blue eyes shone with fever. H* fell moaning into a chair and seemed to lose consciousness until a plate of steaming soup wag placed under his nose. Wounded Soldiers Tell Btories. Wine and* the warmth of the room gradually reanimated him and he began to relate his exploits. Both officers belonged to the same regiment of infantry and both were wounded the day before. The lieutenant’s first words were:

“You cannot imagine how strange It seems to see a civilian again. For three months I have seen nothing but French and German soldiers and I had begun to believe that there was not a civilian left in the world.” These men lad- been fighting virtually every day and night in the last two month*. Their trenches had been advancing steadily at the rate of about fifty yards a week. They had attacked the German trenches hundreds of tidies and been attacked an equal numler of times. Projectiles had torn their uniforms.,- Their regiment, digging underground, had here and ther* burst into the midst of the Germa| trenches. The other evening a section of their comrades composed of 4o men had.'been surprised uid captured. The adjutant could not get over this, “Those lazy rascals fell asleep despite the music of the shrapnel," he said. “It is true they had not slept for several and nights before.” Attack th* German Trcnche*. The lieutenant then related, ty>w he and his comptbion were wounded. Toward ten o'clock on the ’preceding evening it wd* decided to attack the German trenches. The French silently left their underground coverts -and crept forward. They % were dilcovered when a few yards’from their goal, but it iijbs too late and the Germans were c rerwhelmed. “We saw hem running like rats into their h< e,” said the lieutenant “Having adi meed 50 yards at one stroke, it w g necessary for o» to Ijoid. -the German Hrenches were arranged

RETURNING TO THEIR RUINED ROMES

for defense toward the French trenches. Now the French set to work to make the trenches defensible from the other side. Sacks of cement were hastily brought, dipped into water and laid end to end along the trenches-, and packed with dirt. The French then desired to rest a little, but the Germans, wishing to win back the lost position before the French completed the defenses, poured out of their earthworks and advanced. Hurl Grenades as Foes Advance. “ ‘Don’t speak a word,’ ordered our captain. ‘Keep still, bring up some boxes of preserves quietly and wait.’ The Germans came forward at a dog trot in compact masses. ‘Wait,’ repeated the captain. ‘Don’t fire a single .shot. We are going to play a little game pt massacre. Let each man take two grenades and keep well hidden behind the sacks.’ “When the Germans were only a few yards away the captain shouted at the top of his lungs: ‘Use all the grenades you wish, my children.’ The terrible bombs bursting in the ranks caused unbelievable carnage.” “They yelled Ilk* pigs flayed alive,” said the lieutenant placidly. “It did not take long to clean them up, but several of them fired back at us while retreating. This is how we two were caught.” . Gives Autoist Password. These Utile hotels close behind the lines present an ever changing variety of war pictures. Besides wounded soldiers there are others who come on errands and who want a solid meal before returning to the trenches. Here, also, are refugees from villages under fire and women come to try and see their husbands who are wounded or stationed in the neighborhood. Transport automobiles Stop before the door, the chauffeurs buy each other drinks and depart with faces Bomewhat redder than before. Yesterday I saw a noncommissioned officer carefully confiding the password, to an automobtlist who desired to continue along the road.

HAS A BARBARA FRIETCHIE

South African Woman Binds on British Flag and Dare* Boers to Molest It.

London— South Africa has a Barbara Frietehie. She Is Mrs. Pienaar, who resides at Wlnburg, Union of South Africa. When General, De Wet, heading the rebels, captured the town, some- of his troops hauled down the British flag from the courthouse and flung it in the. dirt. Mrs.- Pienaar snatched it up and brushed it off and bound it around her waist. "You daren’t touch it,” she declared. return well hoist it again.”

I asked myself when I went away if I should ever see this little doll again.” How Wives Meet Their Husbands. While his wife told him all- the small happenings of the last three months he continued to kiss hi* diminutive heir. Some wives who come far to see their husbands are less lucky, for the regulations are very strict. However, conjugal love Inspires some ingenious ruses. There is a young woman here who is the wife of an officer on the firing line. Knowing the difficulty of approaching the lines, I did not conceal from her that her enterprise seemed doomed to failure, but- she smiled quietly and assured mq? that, neverthe less she would see her husband. After enjoying my Astonishment, she Explained that her husband had written, her that he goes almost daily to carry orders oh horseback, 15 kilometers (nine miles) behind the lines. She had only to go to a certain village and wait between six and nine o’clock in the morning fa a church where he would go daily until he saw her. They could thus meet and nobody would be the wiser. x - ‘‘l am leaving for this village at four o’clock tomorrow morning,” said the young woman. “I do not dare to go -to bed tonight for fear I should oversleep " Lives in Cellar Eight Weeks. Last night there was in the dining room a family of ragged, taciturn peasants from some untenable farm near the front. • Beside them a solitary young woman ate without appetite. She was from Reims, where she had been living in a cellar for eight weeks. In a countenance of a cadaverous pallor shone two blinking eyes with reddened lids. From the sleeves of her black dress issued white fleshless arms on which the veins stood out like cords. Her whole appearance bore witness to terrible debility and her bearing still breathed dread. As she befit down to rearrange her skirt with her hand her wedding ring fell and rolled away. “I am so thin It won’t stay on my finger any more.” she said. Insignificant though the incident was it was more moving than I can say.

Dispatches say Mrs. Pienaar was cursed by the rebels, but they did not olfcer to molest her.

Mrs. Joseph Gazzam of Philadelphia says that when she was in Berlin and Dresden she heard much criticism of the way in which’ Americans coddle their boys, and the Germans declaredthat if ever the Americans expected to do any fighting they piust change their methods of training boys. Mrs. Gazzam replied that much as American boys are “coddled,’* no one ever heard of an American girl cleaning her brother's boots.
