WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, June
_ —Adjutant Madon of the French
army aviation has just received a new
citation to the order of tht day before
the French armies for wLat might be
termed the first hand-to-hand battle
between an aeroplane and infantry. By
leaving a German infantry potrol of
twenty members annihilated, Madon
has demonstrated that the machine gun
mounted aeroplane is as deadly on the
ground as in the air.
Madon, who is one of the crack
“aces” of the French aerial service,
with eight German machines to his
credit, had his battle just after bring
ing down his eighth victim. This en
counter had taken place miles behind
the German lines. In the sharp man
euvering about his German antagonist
before he finally caught the latter
square in the range of his machine
gun and sent him gyrating to the
earth, Madon overstrained his motor,
out of gear the rythmic
throb so essential to flying. Too far
away from the French lines to cut off
his motor and volplane to safety, Ma
don had only one chance. This was
to descend behind the enemy lines with
the hope of getting his motor started
properly and getting back into the air
• before the enemy could pounce upon
l him. Selecting a cleared space back
of a forest. Madon alighted and began
the hasty re-adjustment. Presently he
noticed a man approaching, staring a:
him curiously. As the individual was
not in uniform, and as he was far
enough back of the German lines to bo
in territory where the civil popula
tion might still be, he decided the man
must be a French peasant. Calling out
to him in French, he said:
“Please go away quickly, my friend.
I don’t need your services and your
presence might attract the Germans.
Within an instant, Madon was disil
lusioned. Turning, the man uttered
a command in and signalled
for an advance. Instantly a German
patrol leaped to its feet, and with ri
fles aimed started to bear down on the
French aviator.
Almost at the same instant the mo
tor of the airplane began the ryth
mic chugging that indicated it was
again operating properly. Madon
leaped to his seat, loosened his brakes,
adjusted his machine gun and charge i
at ever-increasing speed on the ad
vancing infantry patrol.
The latter opened fire with their ri
fles as Madon’s machine gun caught
them in its deadly sweep. The Ger
mans went down as though mowed by
a scythe, not over three or four re
maining standing or kneeling.
Madon increased the speed of his
engine and then bore down on the few
remaining Germans. Whether they
fell before the wings of the aeroplane
struck them or not, Madon does not
know. He knows that he swept them
over and an instant afterward had
taken the air.
U:W DROPS AND
CORN LIFTS OUT
Says There is No Excuse for Cutting
C rns and Inviting Lockjaw.
Sore corns, hard cores, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply directly upon the corn a few
drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati
authority.
It is claimed that at a small cost one
can get a quarter of an ounce of freez
one at any drug store, which is suffi
cient to rid one’s feet of every corn or
callus without pain or soreness or the
danger of infection.
This simple drug, while sticky, dries
the moment it is applied and does not
inflame or even irritate the surropnd
ing tissue.

many women here, for it is said that

FRENCH SOLDIER
REPULSED HTTAGK
SINELEHANDED
PARIS, June 21. —Emile Alexandre
Bigorne, machinegun operator, has
just been awarded the Legion of Hon
or, the highest military decoration
France can give to an ordinary soldier.
Bigorne won the mark of distinction
by repulsing singlehanded a German,
counter attack.
Not less than 800 Germans were
killed, wounded or put to flight.
Bigorne’s exploit demonstrates to
some extent the role the machinegun
has come to play in the war
where it is without question the most
formidable weapon now known. Its
death dealing effects far exceed those
of heavy artillery and are probably
only approached by the “Soixante
quinze” guns of the French.
Following one of the French ad
vances in the early part of the present
offensive Bigorne found himself hold
ing down a German trench in company
with a dozen other machinegun men.
The Germans had kept them isolated
all night with a barrage fire and early
in the morning had shown indications
of preparing a counter attack.
With the gradual increase of the
morning light the Germans’ fire be
came more accurate with the result
that one by one Bigorne’s comrades
were killed. Orders had been given to
hold the trench at all costs. When
Bigorne found himself finally the sole
survivor with a heavy German coun
terattack preparing a few dozen yards
in front of him he gathered together
the machinegun belts of his dead
comrades. Altogether he found him
self in possession of about 1,000 car
tridges.
Adjusting his gun and placing the
cartridge belts near where he would be
able to feed them in himself, he waited

' until the first Germans were close in
i before opening his deadly fire. The
Germans began falling. First one by
one. Then as they crowded to the at
tack, by fives, then by twenties and
fifties, Bigorne never wasted a shot.
Yet, as the Germans went down by the
score, still others leaped up in their
' places.
I In the end Bigorne found himself
with a last cartridge belt and a whole
column of Germans still swarming to
( the assault. He fed the belt in and
took a last, long sweep across
( the entire front of tie approaching
Germans. It was his last cartridge
1 but it proved sufficient, for under his
‘ deadly aim, the entire column broke
I and dashed back to its trench.
I For two hours Bigorne continued in
his position, waiting to see what the
Germans would do. Finally, he was
, relieved before another attack was
( launched, and on being conducted to
, the rear he was greeted by his general
I who announced that he was to be rec
. ommended for the Legion of Honor.

PLAN TO DIVIDE
BELGIUM ALONG
OLDWI LINE
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 28.—-The
report emanating from Amsterdam to
the effect that the eGrman governor
genual of Belgium is to divide that
country’s ministries of agriculture, in
dustry, art and science, and labor into
Flemish and Walloon ministries elicits
from the National Geographic Society
the following war geography bulletin
defining the territories embraced in
the two districts:
“In point of population the Walloon
district of Belgium is considerably
smaller than the Flemish, the latest
census showing some three million
Walloons and four million Flemings,
but in area the Walloons have a slight
advantage. The advantage in popula
tion grows out of the fact that three of
the four cities of the kingdom which
boasts of more than 100,000 inhabitants
—Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent—are in
Flemish! territory, while Liege alone
lies south of the roughly drawn imag
nary boundary line running in a south
westerly direction from Aix-la-Chapelle
(German, Aachen) to Lille.
"The term ‘Walloons’ is used to des
ignate those Belgians who speak
French or a French dialect, while the
Flemings are those who speak Dutch or
a Dutch dialect. Designated in prov
inces, the Walloons are in the main
confined to Hainaut, Namur, Liege.
Luxemburg, and a part of Brabant,
comprising an area about five times
as large as tlje State of Rhode Island,
while Flemish territory approximates
the area of the State of Connecticut.
“In the veins of the Walloons runs
a strain of Celtic blood, for they are
the descendants of the Belgae of Jul
ius Caesar’s Jay.
During the fierce religious conflicts
of the sixteenth century the Walloons
as a rule sided with the Spaniards
and won the epithet of ‘The Malcon
tents.’ In fact, they furnished the
Catholic monarch with many of his
mercenaries during the days when the
Duke of Alva, Don John of Austria,
and Grand Commander Requesens
were endeavoring to put down revolt
in the Low Countries.
“The Walloons are generally ac
credited with more vivacity and nerv
ous energy than their Flemish coun
trymen, and in a country where indus
try and thrift are universal character
istics a comparison which awards the
palm for these virtues to the Wal
loons is perhaps not odious. Among
the lower classes, however, the Flem
ings are said to excel their brunette
compatriots in personal neatness.
“Among the most distinguished
Walloons men of letters In the middle
ages was the famous chronicler Frois
hart.”
Prefers Buckeye Hulls
because they are cheaper
Mr. John A. May, Sheriff of Houston County, Dothan, Ala., says’
that Buckeye Hulls are cheaper than old style because they are all
hulls and no lint, and because they cost him much less per ton.
This explains in few words the unusual economy of using
TIkAM MARK
Rl)ct\EYF
H 9 COTTONSEED W ■
K HULLS X
LINTLCSS
You pay less for them and you get more roughage to the ton. For
the amount of money you may now be spending for old style hulls
you can get much more roughage in the form of Buckeye Hulls and
it will be better roughage too. Buckeye Hulls are not orily lintless
but they are clean and free of trash and dust. The minute you
buy and feed Buckeye Hulls you realize how much more economical
they are. Try a ton.
To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
Book of Mixed Feeds Free
Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the South. Tells
how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fattening, for work. Describes
Buckeye Hulls and gives directions for using them properly. Send for your
copy to nearest mill.
