through the long grass to the spot
whom ho knew there was a breach In

learning of their approach.
Abruptly three of the French offi

"Forward with the bayonet!" and

Frenchmen remained behind ready
to retrout If the attempt fallod.

"As to the new offensive, a glance

Do you notion that all published pho

"That's a question touching human

Iteferrlng lo the complimentary
references by military experts to the
work of theJilg Hritish guns and the
