FURNES, West Flanders, Jan. 11—
(Corres|>ondonce of the Associated
Press)—Sixty thousand worn soldiers
strung along the Yser, where they
checked the rush of the German In
vaders toward Pas de Callas, are all
that are left of the Belgian army of
two hundred nnd thirty thousand men
under arms when Germany invaded
Belgium, but one of King Albert's staff
officers who has been with the army
since the siege of Liege, asserts that
the small Belgian force today is a far
more efficient machine than that
which met the first German attack.
He said to the Associated Press
correspondent:
“When we reached the Yser we were
a beaten and demoralized army, nl
most to the point of absolute disor
ganization. Fighting for weeks with
out adequate support from our allies,
and with most of our men believing
that we had been left to our fate, the
chances of ever again making a fight
ing force of our army seemed remote.
That we did so was due to the highest
nnd lowest factors in our civilization,
the inspiration and activity of our
king and the fighting spirit of our
peasantry.
“The king's aristocratic regiment of
guards is a thing of the past. They
have been disbanded and their places
taken by two regiments made up of
Flemish peasants and commanded by
active young officers in Belgium.
“When the critical situation along
the Yser was realized the local peas
antry seemed to remember the glory
of their past when their people were
the terror of the invnding Spanard and
it needed only the actual leadership of
the king to weld them into the fight
ing force you Bee here today. The
king is commander of this army and
during those nine terrible days in the
trenches while the Germans hurled
their hosts at us, and we waited in
vain for the expected support, the
king was not only an inspiration to
tits officers and men as he fought be
side them, but he proved himself a
capable military leader. Today the
army Is efficient fighting force, too
small of course, for we are unable to
give our men leave from the trenches
such as the French and English now
enjoy, and this has caused some nat
ural complaint, but in spite of this, as
you can see for yourself, the spirits of
the soldiers could not be better. These
men are all veterans now and most of
them are young In years. The offi
cers are picked for their work without
regard to their former rnnk and many
of the highest officers of the army have
been relegated to posts where they are
doing useful work, but where they
cannot repeat any of the blunders
which marked the first part of the war.
"We have no apoligles to make for
our artillery. This service was the
really professional branch of the army
into which officers went for pure love
of their profession, and from Liege to
the Yser they have proven themselves
worthy of the cause for which they
are fighting. Some idea of the value
placed on our artillery Is indicated by
the fact that a Ilelgian captain of
artillery was "placed in mmmAnri r»f I
two hundred French guns and directed
their Are continuously for thirty-six
hours in one of the fiercest artillery
duels of the campaign.
"Only second to our artillery are the
regular cyclist corps and the volun
tary motor corps. The cyclists were
well trained and the Uhlans will long
have cause to remember their marks
manship. The automobile drivers vol
unteered from whnt might have been
called the butterfly class of society
youths, but they have proven as tough
as the battered cnrB which they drive.
They have endured Incredible hard
ships and many of them occupy un
marked graves, the sole reward for
for some desperate scouting venture.
"The less said about our Infantry
existing at the beginlng of the war
the better, but the work of the men
out there in the trenches has paid in
full for any past shortcomings In this
branch of the service. We only have
a few square miles of our country left
subject to artillery fire, but the same
spirit which made the Low Countries
famous as battle grounds in the Mid
dle ages seems to have revived a
tenacity in our army which will con
tinue to hold West Flanders until the
advance on Drussels begins.”

BERLIN, Jan. 11—(Correspondence
of the Associated I’resH)—A young
volunteer from Chorlottenburg des
cribes In a letter from the front a dar
ing reconnaissance undertaken by
hlrmself, with a sergeant major and
four other men, in an efTort to learn
which French regiment was posted In
the trenches 600 yards away. A re
ward of 150 marks and the Iron Cross
•
has been promised should the expedi
tion succeed, but the six men declared
that they would accept no money.
They started on a dark night, walk
ing In stockinged feet ns quietly as
possible through the snow, and gradu
ally approached the enemy’s trenches
until they were but fifty yards away.
Then they were hailed with a “who
goes there?” "Patrols who have lost
their way," answered the young Char
lettenburger; don’t shoot, we are
cnueu me r reiicn. v;i me 1 wenil
eth," was the answer.
The Germans advanced another ten
yards, and the young volunteer asked
"Where Is the road to Maricourt?”
the answer was ano'her query: “What
regiment do you belong to.” The
sergeant major answered with a shot.
The French cried out, jumped back
into their trench and opened fire. It
was taken up all nlong the trench and
the bullets hailed about the Germans
who Jumped backward a few paces and
threw themselves face down. Three
quarters of an hour they lay thus with
out moving. Then the French, who
had In the meantime been strengthen
ed, left their trenches, climbed over
the barbed-wire entanglements in front
and came forward, searching for the
Intruders.
“Let them come on,” whispered the
sergeant major. Suddenly he com
manded squad fire. Volley after vol
ley greeted the advancing French
men many of whom fell. The Ger
mans retreated rapidly a few paces
and again threw themselves down and
remained motionless. Hifle fire tore
up the ground around them and
whistled over their heads. Kockets
began to light up their position, and
tnaehine-guns added to the danger.
The little party withdrew, leaving one
of its number dead, and regained the
German trenches.

MAP MAN STILL TRYING
TO COLLECT $8.50 PER
Most of us remember the gentlemen
named W. B. Canine who sold maps
here last Summer. Well, Mr. Canine's
attorney in Seattle has just sent a
letter to George Sexton demanding
$8.50 from him for one of the famous
maps. Some other people here also
bought maps and paid cash for them,
as did people in other parts of Alaska.
Speaking about Caines a weak sense
of humor always suggests something
about tying a can to a tail of cer
tain cantankerous sort of domestic
animal. Can you beat that? Seward
