FLAYED OX GERMANS
PARIS, Oct. 6. "No troops
ever fought bo wildly at the
German In this war," declared
a wounded Kreneh colonel who
arrived here from the front to-
day. "They have Invented new
tricks of warfare, combining
cavalry and artillery. They have
big automobiles on which are
mounted runs. One of these
accompanies each cavalry Je-
tuchinent. When the cuvnlry
encounters a wire fence, It re-
tires, leaving the gun which
throws shells until the path
cleared.
"We played a Rood Joke on
the Germans at Verdune. Av
iators were trying to fire our
hospitals and dropped bombs
until one of the hospitals be
gan to blaze. They thought
they were burning; our wounded
ed tmt they were not for when
the fire began we took our
wounded from the hospital and
filled It with Germans. They
burned (0 of their own men to
fit-nth. It was a good Joke on
them." !
PARIS. Oct. 6 Strengthened by
the arrival of reinforcements, the
German were gaining slightly at
come point. It was admitted at mili
tary headquarters. At other points.
It was asserted, the Germans had
been repulsed.
That the line of the allies had
been pierced anywhere, was denleJ.
The combined forces were continu
ing their flanking movement and
fresh troops were being rushed to
withstand the Teutonic pressure at
j oints were it was most severe.
Reports received from the front
told of n German attempt to develop
it new offensive In the Argonne re
glon nnd along the Meuse where
night and day the fighting haa con
tlnued.
The German bombardment of the
allies right was slackened somewhat
and It was announced that the Ger
man Guns were worn out from con.
slant use. It was understood fresh
.nnmi were being forwarded from
Alx la Chappclle.
An offlclnl statement Issued this
afternoon was generally encouraging.
Fierce fighting was still In pro-
crM nhoiit Arras, it was said, but
the Germans had made no substan
tial gains.
Retween the Somme and the Olse
the conflict continued with alternntc
fi.tvunros an d retirements but thus
far there was no material advantages
for either side.
The Germans had been repulsed In
nn attempt tit break the allies line at
Lasslgnv. It was said. Tills ottempt.
If It had been successful, would have
endangered the Gallic left.

committeeman at large.
The officers are all compete
students and are devoting nil energy

the Influence of their large class hn.
already been keenly felt In tho high
