(Hy Associated Press Correspondence)
fARIS. March 10—Mademoiselle
. Ilobert. of Paris, who witnessed the
battle of Guise, has just told her
story of the rescue of seven wounded
chasseurs.
With the report that the Germans
were coming the chief surgeon of a
hospital had ordered practically every
body to the rear. Mademoiselle
Robert was still in the hospital, how
ever, when a peasant cnme in breath
less excitement to tell how the Ger
mans were coming, and how seven
chasseurs were lying terribly wound
ed in a little hamlet four miles away.
"It was alrendy dark,” Mademoiselle
Robert relates. "We had no ambu
lances or any sort of vehicle to bring
the wounded back, but I jumped on a
bicycle determined to try to find the
wounded men. The cannonading,
heard for three days, was coming near
er and nearer, and as I pedalled along
the road I could see flashes of the
nearing conflict.
"Two miles up the road a detach
ment of dragoons challenged me, and
ordered me to the rear. I told them
of the seven chasseurs.
“ ‘My poor little woman,’ said one,
'there may be seven times seven thous
and back there, and you can’t get
them all, can you?’
“And I pleaded with him to let me
have two of his men to make an effort
He shook his head, declaring that
the Germans would be in the village
in force before anyone could reach the
wounded men.
"But I couldn’t go back, and the of
ficer finally let me proceed. The sky
had clouded thickly and it waB pitch
dark when I arrived at the hamlet.
There was not a sign of life. The
only light was that of burning houses
reflected from the clouds. 1 knocked
at several houses; they were unre
sponsive as the grave, although I am
sure there were people In some of
i ii triu.
“I finally found a barn beside the
road that answered the peasant's de
scription, and putting my ear to a
crack in the door I heard the plain
tive sounds that became so familiar
in the hospital; my men were there.
Lifting the latch carefully, I pulled
the door, looked into the pitchy dark
ness, then drew back; I was afraid.
I asked tremblingly 'who’s there?’
There was no reply, but I could locate
the spot where the men lay by their
groaning. I felt my way toward
them, bumping against beams and
stumbling in the straw. I went down
on all fours and crept until my hand
touched something under the straw,
drawing a sharp cry of pain; It was
the crushed leg of one of the chas
seurs. ‘How many are you here?’ 1
asked. ’In Heaven’s name, speak
some of you!’
“ 'Who are you.’ a feeble voice
asked. They could scarcely believe
1 had come from the rear and begged
me to fly as quickly as I could.
‘There’s nothing a girl like you can do
for us.’
“1 started out for a conveyance;—It
was an all night search, for every
door was dumb to my appeal. i
clubbed the door of every house with
a stout stick, but not till dawn did I
see a living being in the locality;
then I came across a lonely, discos*
solate cow. ‘Now,’ I thought, 'if I
can find any sort of a vehicle, I have
the motive power,’ An old peasant
woman peeked timidly out of her cot
tage and darted back again. I knock
ed at the door but she didn’t reply. I
insisted so strongly with my big stick
that she finally opened again. There
was an old carry-all under the shed of
the next farm, she said. The place
was abandoned. We might find a
harness there or some other moans of
hitching the cow to the carry-all. An
old wreck of harness that we pieced
out with ropes and rags was soon
ready, and the cow, dazed and docile,
finally consented to pull.
‘‘With the aid of the old peasant
woman and with some unseen aid we
got those maimed chasseurs into the
carry-all and were on our way bacs
to the hospital at a speed of a mile
an hour. Shells were bursting near
er and nearer and long columns 01
Infantry were huirying before them
through the fields to the right and tt
the left. We heard the rumbling ol
wheels behind us. It was a battery
of French artillery. As they passed
an officer glanced at my charge, salut
ed, shook his heifd sadly and galloped
on. The battery turned Into the Aral
cross road and began business. Tc
my poor chasseurs It was a welcome
noise. One of them raised hlmseli
on his elbow and said to his com
rades: 'One good turn deserves nn
other; the Germans are getting some
of their own change back.’ The pool
fellow was dead when we reached the
hospital. In spite of the holes the
little 3-lnchers made In the German
ranks, they were powerless to stem
the German tide, and the six survlv
ing chasseurs had no sooner received
first aid than the Uhlans galloped up.'

MINING ACTIVE
ON KENAI RIVER
Dan nice has recently received word
from the department of the Interior
that Kenal river Is a navigable stream
and this decision means that all peo
ple can now go and work the ground
within sixty feet of high water as
they can work the sea beach says the
Seward Gateway. Kelly Olson, who
arrived last night says that several
men are expecting to take advantage
of the ruling and start mining wors
along the stream this Bpring. The
ground is good in several places, and
at low water the work Is made es
pecially easy. During the winter ne
and his partner rocked out one hun
dred and fifty dollars without any dif
ficulty. The climate Is such that
work can be carried on In winter s?
well as In summer with the possible
exception of a few unusually cold
days. Frank E. Youngs says the
ground has the pay on the surface.
On1 the bar which he owns this pay
runs about two dollars to the yard.
Mr. Olson will go back in a few dnjs
for the summer's work.

UNIFORMS
NOW MORE PRACTICAL
(By Associated Press Correspondence
LONDON, Merch 10—War has
struck a blow at both military smart
ness and military picturesqueness,
rhese two features, which distin
guished Europear wars of the past,
ire now yielding to the practical. The
British Tommy in the trenches, wear
ng a goatskin coat, rubber boots and
knitted cap pulled down over his
bead, k>ol<B more like a Robinson
Crusoe than a soldier. French Zou
iveB still wear baggy trousers, moor,
sh jackets and fez, but the cloth is
colored greenish yellow, like the
British khaki. Belgians have chang
ed their regulation foolish little cap
for a good, warm cap which looks as
if made for a chauffeur.
Among the changes undergone in
the British field uniform is a Sam
Brown belt made of webbing instead
of the more conspicuous leather.
The belt, designed a couple of gener
latlons ago by a British officer in In.
3ia, supports sword, pistol and can
teen, and is suspended by a strap
crossing the shoulder. It has lately
become the rage among British offi
cers. In view of the short range in
trench fighting, the British officer has
been forced to do away with the mi
nor elegances of a khaki flannel col.
iar and a khaki colored necktie. His
full-skirted overcoat early gave place
to a short coat of the model of the
seaman’s pea Jacket, which is found
warmer than the old model besides
being free from the annoyance of
skirts. The men of the ranks have
of their own accord cut off their over
coat tails because of their dragging
in the mud.
France is re-uniforming its troops
In the new trtcolored cloth, a combi
nation of the three colors of the na
tional flag, and of a bluish color. It
is used for the characteristic great
coats of the men and for officers’
Jackets.

Rev. E. H. Maloney, who accompan
ied Rlshop Rowe to Tanana (Tossing,
has returned home after an absence
of six weekR, during which time he
mushed several hundred miles, says
the Valdez Prospector.
At the time Bishop Rowe was in
Valdez he was in very poor health,
and the Women's Guild of the Church
of the Epiphany, not wishing him to
make the long trip alone, arranged
to defray the expenses of Rev. Ma
loney to accompany the Bishop as
far as Tanana Crossing, where Bishop
Howe expected to be met by a guide
from Fairbanks.
Rev. Maloney states that during the
first three days he was somewhat
anxious about Bishop Rowe, fearing
that he would not be able to stand
the trip. After the first three days
he began to figure how he was going
to keep up with the party. Bishop
Rowe appeared to grow stronger and
more vigorous every day of the trip
and was in fine condition when they
reached Tanana Crossing. At Men
tasta Bishop Rowe renewed acquain
tance with old Chief John, and as
the latter is nearing the end of his
earthly career, the bishop, assisted
by Rev. Maloney baptized, confirmed
and gave holy communion to the
chief in the presence of the members
of the tribe.
Leaving Bishop Rowe at Tanana
Crossing, Rev. Maloney, accompanied
by driver Jenkins, of Gokona, turned
southward and reached Chisana via
the Tetlin and Nabesna trail, a dis
tance of 225 miles, In eight and one
half days. He states that he found
the miners at Chisana very hopeful
that their camp would make good and
were busy prospecting. Being the
first missionary to reach the camp he
was given a rousing reception every
where. Seventy persons, Including
Marshal Hoffman and Judge Finnlgan,
attended the services in Chisana. He
also held services at Bonanza, where
thirty persons attended.
At Nabesna Rev Maloney baptized
two native children, whose parents
I proudly boasted that they had been
baptized by Bishop BTompas, at Forty
mile, on the Yukon, many years ago.
From Chisana, over the glacier to ,
McCarthy Rev. Maloney was accom
panied by "Broncho Bill” Spencer.
While crossing over the divide they
were caught in a blizzard and spent
several hours hunting for stakes which
line the trail to keep travelers from
becoming lost. He declares that
while the trip over the glacier is'
somewhat dangerous the view is mag- .
niflcent and is unequalled by but few
places in Alaska, the land of scenic
wonders.

YOUNG DIRECTOR
TRANSPORT SYSTEM
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON, March 10—Graeme Thom
son, of whom Winston Churchill re
ferred to in Parliament as "one of
the discoveries of the war," is the
first civilian to ever hold the position
of director of the admiralty transport
department. Thomson, who Is 39
years old, is now described as the
“greatest transport officer since
Nonh.”
When the war broke out Thomson
was a superintending clerk at a sal
ary of about *3,500 a year. He had
served in the department, after com
pleting his education at Oxford, for
twelve years. His ability, which
showed itself in emergency days, at
tracted the attention of the first I^ord.
In a short space of time he was made
assistant director of transports, and
at the end of three months was put
in charge of the department at a
large salary.
