BRITISH CAPTAIN RESENTS WORK OF HUN BOMBS ' " - ' ' Baby Crippled in Air Raid Eight Germans Killed in Revenge I FIVE OF ENEMY BRAINED Three Later Shot Down with Pistol Boche Thor oughly Routed WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Jan. 4. The full story of a British Captain who was so moved with hatred of the Germans for crip pling his child with a bomb, that he attacked and killed eight of them with a .club, and withstood a sudden German onslaught, by hU Inspiring leadership-, had Jnst been received. The tale has mad .the Captain's name a byword of gallantry' and bravery In the British camp. Here are the facts: h '' ' 'X When the Germans delivered their tremendous assault against Masnieres and Marcolng during their general offensive on November thirtieth, those two towns and the territory, about them were being held by a division of English troops. On the staff of the . commanding general there was a dashing captain who may be designated as Captain Black for purposes of this narrative. i Baby Hurt In Air Raid. ' Black was a man of long service and much beloved by all the troops. He had been a jovial companion until recently,, when during a German air raid over England his baby elrl was crippled for life by a bomb. Black had) become bitter against the Ger mans and had sworn that he would exact f nil penalty for the airman's deed.; , r The captain little knew when he turned In on the night of the twenty-ninth of November how , soon he would be able to get his revenge. Next morning the Germans attacked Masnieres in force and the brigade 1 to the right of the troops holding the town was , forced to fall back. The brigade In the town,'' however, stood firm and fought the enemy off. Meanwhile waves of Germans had swept by the south of the town and were swarming westward. Five Germans Brained. V . Cpatam Black came out of ' his headquarters south of Marcolng to find five Germans ' already In po session of a great dump nearby. So quickly had the enemy advanced that this was the first intimation that they were nearby. Black had in his hand a heavy walkrng stick which was his only weapon. Without a moment's hesitation he charged the dump alone and beat about him so fiercely that he brained al ffve op ponents before they recovered from thdr su prise. He had made good his vow, but his work was not fin ished.; ; Other Germans appeared west of Les Rues Verts, a southern suburb , vi masnieres. ah am eouectea ail the signallers, cooks, -orderlies and other servants available, and with two companies of regulars delivered an attack towards Russ Vertes. The Germans fell back and fierce hand-to-hand fighting followed. Black led hla Httlo army from hous to house and as often as the Germans made a stand he drove them out. un til finally the whole suburb had bren cleared with the exception of one macnine-gnn whose crew of eight men kept pumping bullets into the Brltifh ranks. I Xast of ElRht Shot Down. ': r Black charged this machfheT gun with; one orderly. , Four other brave orderlies bad been shot down beside him previously and this cne also was caught r as the machine . gun was reached. . mack then attacked the' Germans with a revolver in each hand and shot down the last man of eight. This cleared lines Vertes of the enemy and outpost were estab lished about the place- Black had been wounded during; the fighting, but he held on to his command until relief came next vday. ! V , 1 This story Is not I he Only one t be related f that bitter day about Masnieres. A regiment which had the stiff est part of the fighting In the town was made tip of troops known as "die-hards." and they fought all day with rifles and; bay onets at close ; nnartcrs and never gave a step in the face of a great onslaught made against them. Dur ing the fighting the colonel had been wounded In one eye and so serious was his Injury that his other eye became useless. His troops eon tinned to be so hard pressed that: It seemed probable they would giro way.: j . The colonel knew they needed all the encouragement possible to en able them to bear the awful strain. He called for an orderly, 'and led by hfs servant he started maklns.a round of the front . line to speak words of encouragement to his troops. For hours this blind man with bandaged eyes kept up his tramp among his men wit hhis hand In that of the orderly who was his only guide. This heroic example was the final word for the Tommies. They loved their colonel and they stood and died for him and held their line. .. .. . - Enemy Driven Back. ; . Masnieres produced another thrll ing Incident next day. The Germans renewed their attack and came down In Waves.- Their assault at the. crossing- at the canal bank was partic ularly fierce and the British, after sustaining the shock for some time, began to waver and the general rush ed to the spot, He took a stand In the midst of his troops and railed them about him aong the bank. He spoke to them with assurance and pleaded that they be . calm.! The Germans were sending forward an other great wave of Infantry. It was then that the general un consciously echoed words of the fam ous order issued by an American general at the battle of Bunker Hill "Steady men. steady, do not fire until yon see the whites of their eyes." The crossing was held and the Germans driven back. ; Dandruff Germs are very small . bui HERPICIDE jj g2 will find Uiem all Fruit Growers! 1 Attention!
