Two or three tried to drown themselves In a pool, while othere knelt on the ground making the sign of the cross and waiting an assassins bayonet thrust or worse. "One who was a real sportsman kept hie head and made a desperate effort to escape, very nearly getting shot, until ho saw it was useless, and tinging down hi, rifle, surrendered to an officer. Beside this officer a Tommy stood watchfully in case the Bulgar was up to any nasty tricks, and the latter seeing this attitude and taking him for his appointed murderer, with a dramatic gesture threw back his head and bared his chest. He opened his shirt with both hands, then faced the soldier with the bayonet whom he supposed to be wait ing for the officers word to run him through. "Tommy’s method of easing the tension was rapid. He brought out his packet of cigarettes and offered one to the Bulgar. "Up to this moment the Bulgar had been as brave as a lion, but the offer of the cigarette in plac.e of the end of the bayonet was too eudden a change in his outlook. He gave a gasp and sat down trembling, unable to light the cigarette at the match which the soldier was holding ready for him.” IET’1. ujii CL FOOD IN ENGLAND DOUBLED LONDON.
