Left for Dead by Troops, a Lieutenant Eludes German Patrol of Uhlans and Gains Own Line.

Takes Along French Family of Refugees, and Although Wounded Guides . All to Safety ' PARIS, Sept. 22. A lieutenant la the French forelgrVJegion has related the following story here: ? ; "It was on the night of August 23, after the retreat from Umeville. To wards five I received a ball in the forehead see the scar on the right' on the frontal bone. I fell stunned by the blow. One of my men picked me up, and I could hear him confusedly saying: 'Our lieutenant ia dead.' My comrades took me behind: a wall and left me there. , "Towards seven I came td myself in a fever, and believing I was in the thick of the battle. I shouted 'Forward, but those to whom I gave the order were . German ambulance men. They took me on a stretcher to Tunevilie, and shut me in the barracks of the Chasseurs, which had been trans formed into a hospital. - Makes His Escape. "The window bars were old, and the fever gave me the strength of ten. I dug at the cement with a knife, and tore out a bar. Slipping through, I yfell from the first story into an empty passage leading to the Rue Jolllvet. I was bleeding at the knees, but what matter? ' I crawled a few yards, and saw the Uhlans defiling past in the main street. Close by was a ; house where I had seen a light appear and then go out. After knocking gently

and getting no answer, I broKe down the door. with my shoulder and went In, revolver in hand. A whole family wag biding under the staircase, and they had nothing to fear. "A trembling woman's fingers were held out to guide me. ' 'Give me a cloak, a hat, and a pair of trousers, were forthcoming. 'Which is the first road I come to?' 'The road to Bayon. A man's toneless voice added: Lieutenant, you are going let us go with you!' I lit my pocket-lamp to look at my companions a lower, middleclass family., the man pale, with chat

tering teeth, the woman also pale, but

resolute, and two children, one of sev

en, and the other a baby of nine months. 'All right,' I said, 'we will go

all five of us." ! - n !--!!

uri.y u i tea mm civilian.

"Disguised as a civilian, with bowed , shoulders like an old man. I led the way, carrying the baby. We ran and . crept along the banks of the Moselle where the bridges were .occupied, by the troops. We had to cross, and the banks were steep. The man was an angler, and said that he knew a shallow place. We went on, but as we could see nothing in the stormineBS of the night, and as I heard the woman panting, I cried a halt, and said that at all costs we must cross. Holding the baby up at arm's length I entered the river. The stream was slow, and the water cooled my fever. I reached , the other side, and went back to fetch the woman and the other child. " 'For the love of God do not leave me,' wailed the husband, and he hung on to my coat. I had to give him my word of honour that I would come back for him. We had to go on noiselessly, for I had heard the butural cries of the sentinels on outpost duty. 4tM4k h4et nvtAmlcliail ima

mans, when they shut me up in the hospital, had left me my revolver. Doubtless they were in a hurry, and had put oft till later the searching of the prisoners. The baby began to wail. The outpost heard us, and 'Wer da?' rang out 150 yards away. We did not reply, and a shower of bullets swept us, whistling on all sides. 'Run and run fast!' I cried, and I took the baby again. 'Cut Through Underbrush. "He was crying just now, but was quiet again. Another shower of bul

lets. My left arm felt heavy, and my little finger especially hurt me horribly. It must be looked at later. The family hung on to my clothes, and followed me. A wood loomed up on our left. With my free arm I urged

a dense scrub. God be thanked! We are saved! But the undergrowth was thick. The man had a knife with him, and I still had mine. So we went at it, cutting a path through. The woman, motherly even in her .terror, offered to take the baby to lighten me. 'No, no!' I said: 'He does pot weigh much, and he is asleep. Should we wake him. he

would cry.' And whilst hacking at the bushes I asked the baby's name. 'Marcel,' she 6aid; ' a fine, grand little chap, lieutenant!' I could guess her smile of maternal pride! "We cut so hard into the wood I heard afterwards that it was the forest of Parroy that we came to a clearing and a path. But how heavy the baby was! A grand, fine boy, said the mother, and I did not doubt her in the least. Could I have had a bullet in the shoulder? The swaddled baby, to the hand that held him my bent arm all seemed of lead. We walked hard going westward. Suddenly French voices challenged, 'Halt, who goes there? A French officer. I answered, and advanced to explain whom wfe were, and whence we came. I tendered my papers, and by the lantern's light . they were examined. Goes to Hospital. "'But you are wounded, lieutenant,' says the sergeant. 'Hush! say nothing, for the sake of the others,' I replied, for by the glare of the lantern I had seen blood also on the baby's bonnet. 'Two men to take these good people to the rear,' I ordered with a sigh of satisfaction, 'and as for me, take me to the first-aid station.' "I held out the child to its mother, saying, 'Be careful, no shaking; he is sleeping, do not wake him.' The man wanted to thank me, and give me his name, but I did not wait. I went off at a jog trot, without turning round, for fear of betraying emotion. I had the little finger taken off see! the joint is missing -and two bullets throuph the choulder, high up.

New Giant German Aeroplane With Guns

I0 e

V

1 xiA

"Fritz," as the soldiers of the Allies call the latest air creation of Germany, is between 80 feet and 100 feet wide and driven by two Mercedes engines of 100 horsepower to 150 horsepower each. These engines are placed in two narrow fuselages, while in the center is a nacelle which contains seats for three men (two gunners and the pilot). . Should an enemy appear, the great watcher, some 8,000 feet to 9,000 feet above the Allies' trenches, suddenly accelerates to full speed. From the ground the giant engines can be heard as they suddenly roar into full power, and the enormous machine can be seen literally to swoop across the sky. It carries two machine guns able to fire in any direction. The Germans for a model have taken the Italian Caproni machine and set' themselves to improve it. In this they have certainly succeeded, and these battle-aeroplanes have temporarily challenged the Allies' superiority in the air that has been a noticeable feature of the struggle in the west. ' j"
