ENTOMBED SOLDIER
TELLS OF ESCAPE
THREE FRENCH TROOPERS BUR
IED BY GERMAN SHELLS
DUG WAY OUT.
The story of the three French
troopers who were buried alive for
hours at the beginning of the bat
tle at Verdun, and who finally dug
their way out, was told a few
l days ago by one of them on his
1 arrival in Paris recently. He said:
■‘With my friends. Bernard and
illcas, 1 was posted in a trench at
the edge of the Yauche woods. The
enemy showed a (jispositioa to at*
tack and, according to orders, the
three of us, with a charge of pow
. der. fuses and tools, started down
a mine gallery to fill the mine
chamber, to lay the wires, and to
pack the gallery behind it. We did
. this without difficulty and were on
our way back when the explosion
shook us. Had our mine gone off
already? *1 heard stones falling.'
said one of m y comrades. We
rushed forward, the gallery was full
of gravel. We realised the truth. We
were walled up. An enemy shell had
i exploded above the gallery, causing
< the room to fall in. *
•‘We examined the walls in fever
ish haste- We are done for,’ said.
Jean. We are not afraid of death
! —h was all part of the game—but
we did not like to die there in the
darkness. 'How long can we stay,
here?’ Jean asked again. ‘There is
plenty of air and the gallery is
roomy, but there is nothing to eat.’
I repliedl ‘Well, what’s the good
of a few hours Ynore or less? he
asked. ‘Why wait? I for one have
already made up my mind.’ He took
out his revolver, but 1 stopped him
and said: ‘Don’t be a fool. Let us
wait awhile; we may hit on some
way oat-’
‘The first horror having passed
over. we began to discuss ways and
means- ‘Let’s wait patiently for our
mine to explode. If it makes a big
enoogh hole we can dig through into
| it,’ I said.
“We sat down in silence and
could hear all the sounds of battle
above us, for the earth is a good
ronducteor of sound. We tried to dis
tinguish the character of the tar- i
ious vibrations, so as not to miss
the noise when our mine exploded.
Finally we heard it and We rushed
forward through a wave of hot air.
Hope strengthened our arms and we
plied our picks furiously, but our
packing had been so well done that
it took us two hours before we got
into the empty mine chamber. I
listened, but the sound of firing
. seemed so far off that 1 judged
there was a thick layer of earth
between us and the outer world.
Then drops fell upon us. We were
going to be flooded? ‘So much the
better.’ said Jean, *\V$ shall die
more quickly.’
“Something trickled dawn on my
lips and I recognised the taste. It
was blood, and 1 realised that if
blood was coming through w* could
not be far from the surface. With
renewed hope we set to work again,
but rather clumsily, for we started
a fall of earth which nearly buried
us. We were all injured, Bernard’s
leg being broken, Jean’s head cut
and my left arm broken. Despite
our pain, we continued our efforts,
and after awhile we came cat a
number of dead bodies of Germans
which had rolled to the bottom of
the crater which the mine explosion
had made.
■After an hour of digging and
crawling among these bodies we got
out into the air. Both my com
rades were so exhausted that they
fainted. I watched over them, being
sheltered from shells and bullets by
the steep side of the crater. After
eight hours’ waiting, ambulance at
tendants found us, and by that time
we had but little life left in us.”

Swell combined wit hthe elaborate
carving of a beautiful home on one

house discern it as anything but
a part o fthe decorative effect
For a time thi shouse was oc

beautiful teakwood carvings, the
wonderful gold filigree on the win

the building an individuality unique
and attractive.

| One day a member of the firm
i escorting an Oriental rug buyer t<
the building, proudly pointed to the
| artistic design worked out in th*
; mosaic tilings, carrying «n inscript
! ion in Arabic characters. The rug
buyer gave one glance, followed h>
' a shriek. He raised his eyes heaven
ward and invoked the aid of Allah.
When he had quieted down enougl
, to talk he exclaimed: — “Do .vox
know what that reads?"
“No. I didn't suppose it read any
! thing."
“Well, it does. The steps say
“There is no God: There is no Gob;
i There is no God.’ ”
It seems that the artist had at
tempted to inscribe on each step a
j sacred sentence from the Koran
“Then.* is no God but God,” bul
had stopped short because the
; stairs were not wide enough to ac
commodate the last two words.
