HOME EDITION VOLUME XIX, No. 298. 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. Press Officer. ghe press officer had been summon es to the British headquarters in Franre, and there learned that all ob ')•*< tlons were now removed. , On his return. It was expected that permission would Immediately he flv»n, but this time apparently the ob jection came from the British war of fice Permission has now been In definitely wltheld. | Even the German general staff havs several accredited German correspondents to be with the forces. Put apart from General terse and splendid despatches Eng land Is permitted to hear nothing but the moderately sprightly essays in Journalism hv an “eyewitness" with 1 the headquarter's staff In Franca. 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 In this particular port of the field wrought terrible ha\ oc.
