SURROUNDED
BUT SLIPPED
AWAY
Lieutenant Verlin Honorably
Mentioned For Remarkable
Feat of Fooling Enemy---37
of His Men Shot.
Paris. —Lieutenant Verlin is honor
ably mentioned in General Joffre’s or
der of the day for a remarkable feat in
£he valley of Vhe Oise. Surrounded
by the enemy while engaged in scout
' ing, he managed to rejoin his regiment
| after losing thirty-seven men out of
I'fifty. A survivor now in a hospital
; here gave an account of the adventure
today.
The reconnaissance party was ope
rating on the right bank of the Oise.
Its members were told that Uhlans had
been seen in the neighborhood, but
there was no information about their
-number or the road they had followed.
| The lieutenant had decided to con
tinue the reconnaissance when the
fenemy was sighted in considerable
numbers. He ordered his men, there
fore, to rejoin the regiment as rapidly
and as secretly as possible, but they
were discovered. The section gained
the wood under the fire of the enemy,
but without losing a single man. They
were then deployed at great intervals
and took any shelter they could find.
When the ertemy approached it was
found to number six to seven thousand.
The lieutenant encouraged his men by
going from one to the other and or
dered them to husband their ammuni
tion.
If the enemy had charged the wood
the little party would have been an
nihilated, but it was evidently deceived
by the way in which the fire was man
aged. The tiny force kept its ground
until midnight. At that moment only
13 were in a condition to continue the
fight. The lieutenant addressed his
men:
"Mes Eniants, we must leave at any
cost. Cease fire and get on the road.
Pr/’haps we can get away In the dark,
as the Germans will not dare to ven
ture into the wood.”
Before this retirement the Germans
feared an ambush and hesitated to ad
vance. In that way the little party
got away, and at dawn reached their
regiment, where the colonel embraced
them.
iCORRESPONDEKTS
DISARMED
After Being “Mugged” and
Going Through Other Forms
of “Red Tape” were Promised
Passes---Then Detained.
London.— The case of the authorised
war correspondents who were accepted
by the war office to represent the
newspapers and the news agencies of
England at the front, but who are
still detained In England, has entered
Into a new phase.
Twelve correspondents, all men of
proved responsibility and knowledge,
most of them having already served
during more than one war, and one
well-known American correspondent,
were proposed under an arrangement
come to with the authorities. Their
names were submitted to the Army
Council and accepted by the war of
kflce. They were instructed to buy
fciorses, engaged servants and get the
proper equipment, and arrange for
their mess with the Expeditionary
Force.
Passes.
Passes for themselves and servants
were prepared, photographs were
taker, and everything was done so
that these accredited representatives
should he ready to record for the na
tion the events of the greatest war
which it has ever undertaken. The
press officer was appointed to com
mand the party and superintend ar
rangements.
After that the correspondents were
left to kick their heels at home, and
were told that the cause of this was
the attitude of the French general
staff. At last, however, this diffi
culty was understood to be removed.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
TEUTONIC RAGE
STILE PARTIAL
TO SHAKESPEARE
Despite the Furious Hatred
Against England During War,
is Still One of German Pet
Affections.
Copenhagen. —Even the furious hat
red against England which has been
a marked German characteristic dur
ing the war has been unable to unseat
Shakespeare in the affections of the
Teutonic race. There has been a
struggle and Shakespeare has won,
the Germans taking the attitude that
he belongs to them almost as fully as
to the twentieth century British.
In reply to Max Reinhardt’s inquiry
among authorities as to whether
Shakespeare should continue to be
performed in the Reinhardt Theatre,
Maxmilian Marden replies:
“If only all stage questions were as
simple as this! Of course, Shakes
peare must be played now and in the
future. We can in no way dissolve the
ties which bind us to one of the chief
ancestors of our German culture.”
No Longer a Boast.
The Germans have long boasted th§,t
Shakespeare is performed more often
in Germany than in England and
America together; Indeed, some of
them say there are more performances
of the Bard of Avon’s work in the
German language in a single week
than the English and Americans see
annually.
Max Lieberman says that Germany
pays more homage to Shakespeare as
one of the world’s giants, and Shakes
peare is as closely connected with
Germany as if he belonged to it. He
writes:
“We must play him as the repre
sentative of the Old England which
would be ashamed of the Pharisaical
conduct of the present England, and
in order to show that we have too
much discrimination than to mix
Chauvinism with questions of cul
ture.”
German Fashions for Women.
“German fashions for German wo
men,” is the cry in some parts of the
fatherland. There is also a movement
for hygienic garments. The North
German Gazette says of future fash
ions for German women:
“The present moment seems good
for delivering Germany from the tu
telage of those nations which dictate
the fashions. But what shall the Ger
man style be? Hitherto, only aesthet
ics have had their say. But in future,
clothes must correspond to the
highest hygenic costumes, but if this
attempt to set the fashion has hither
to been unsuccessful, and the move
ment has been confined to a few
school teachers in small places, a
deeper reason must he sought.
“Can the shape of the figure have
something to do with it? On a well
built woman the reform clothing
looks quite nice, but on short and
thick women, awful. If a successful
hygenic German style Is to he created
it must follow modern experimental
methods. At first, however, a number
of persons experienced in the hygiene
of clothing must meet together with
clever male and female dressmakers,
authorities in textiles and artists to
lay down the essential requirements
and to make experiments. But, what
ever the result. It must be susceptible
to variations, otherwise the new Ger
man style will be stillborn.”
LACK OF FOOD,
GERMAN LINES
Teuton Prisoners at Camp in
Camberly Say, Even in Ad
vance Towards Paris---Ac
centuated During Retreat-
London.—ln conversation the Ger
man prisoners In the great camp at
Camberly, have said that there has
been great want of food In the German
lines, even In the advance towards
Paris and It was accentuated during
the retreat. The men generally ap
peared to think that their entry Into
Paris was to he an easy matter. An
officer prisoner who was asked for his
opinion replied;
“The war will soon be over with the
fall of Paris. We were within 20
miles of Paris when I was taken, and
our army must be In their now.'' His
surprise was extreme when he was
told how the Germans had been driven
back and that the nearest point they
were to Paris was 00 miles off. Put
tlng hls hands t,o head, he exclaimed:
"No, no, not true."
From the statements made by the
men there Is not the slightest doubt
that they have been thoroughly deluded
by their officers One said that on
his battalion being mobilised the com
manding officer told them that they
were going to assist England In re
pelling a French Invasion of Belgium
and that It was not until they were
fighting the Belgians that they found
out that they were merely fighting
their way Into Frsnre
Others state that It was only after
being captured that they knew that
England, France, Russia and Belgium
were allied against G»rmany.
Apparently matters have been so
represented by the officers that the
men undoubtedly believed that Ger
many had enjoyed an uninterrupted
run of success hy sea and land.
It is admitted that, the German
casualties have been enormous, and
one prisoner, an artilleryman, talking
to an English colonel, said that he
was the sole survivor of his battery,
which was quickly put out of action hy
the British, every one of whose shells
