LONDON, Nov. 16.—Many narrow
escapes and deeds of wonderful brave
ry have been made by the injured
British and Belgian soldiers now re
covering in English hospitals. A
young lance corporal of the King’s
Royal Hi ties, who is recovering from
a bullet wound in his knee owes his
life to a crucifix which he picked up
in an empty house where he was bil
I leted. A strange impulse compel led
him to pick up the crucifix and put it
in his haversack.
During an engagement a few days
later many of the corporal’s comrades
were kilted by bullets which were al
most spent. The young corporal was
hit in the knee and later found when
takn to a hospital that one of the
spent bullets had also passed comple
tely through his knapsack, but had
been deflected from his body by the
cruciflx, one of the arms of which had
been broken off by the bullet.
Private W. Hinton of the First East
Lancers poses as the luckiest man in
the army. He was hit by three bullets
within a minute without serious in
jury. One of the bullets flattened five
rounds of ammunition in his belt.
Another smashed the magazine of his
rifle and a third passed throug his cap.

BANK OF SEWARD
SEWARD, ALASKA
gincers describes the rcmurkable
pluck of Lieutenant It. Pottinger of
Tedmouth. Pottinger and his section
were attempting to blow up a bridge
under lire. They laid the charge and
the section retired. Lieutenant Pot
tinger and a sapper remained behind
to light the fuse. The charge did not
explode. The sapper then fired ten
rounds of ammunition at the charge
without success. Pottinger then said
*T1I make the thing go olL” He shook
hands with the sapper and walked to
the bridge. There he put the muzzle
of his revolver into the charge and
fired all six cartridges. Even then the
charge did not go olT and the men had
to llee leaving the bridge intact. If
the charge had gone olT the young
lieutenant would have disappeared
completely, but the approaching Ger
mans would have been robbed of an
easy entry into the allies’ territory.
One of the officers on the ill-fated
Cressy which was sunk by the German
submarines was severaly injured on
the head, had both his legs broken and i
his feet crushed as he was thrown in
to the air by the explosion. His body ,
was sucked under the water by the |
sinking cruiser, but was picked up by
one of the rescue ships.
Twenty-four hours afterwards the
injured officer regained consciousness
and his first words were: “Are we
down-hearted? No!”
A sergeant of the line was made ad
jutant for his col ness and bravery in
one of the engagements in Lorraine.
With three men the sergeant was sent
across an open field to attract the fire
of the Germans so the colonel could
tell where the enmy’s trenches were
and what their probable strength was.
A hail of bullets was directed at th»
four men. They made their way to a
small farmhouse where they climbed
up on a tile roof and from the shelter
of a chimney began firing at the Ger
mans. Angered by the imprudence of
the four soldiers the Germans directed,
one of their batteries on the house
and razed it.
“My smartest patrol leader is
gone,” the colonel remarked, as he
| saw the building crumble. The three
I privates were no more, but the little
\ sergeant was soon seen running across
i the field toward his command. When
the sergeant arrived breathless at
headquarters the colonel asked with
mock severity why he did not stay to
continue the fire.
“Sorry sir, but the pigs knocked my
house down,” was the reply.

While Guiterrez and Gonzalez re
mained in control of their respective
territories the convention would again
go into session and either ratify the
choice of Guiterrez or select another
national provisional president.
General Jose Carbajal, a Car
ranza chief, was killed in an engage
ment near Puerto Mexico when he quit
the Carranza forces with his troops
and joined the Villa side attacking the
troops under the command of General
Jesus Carranza, the brother of the
first chief.
