His term of enlistment was for six months and has now expired. He is going to Yale | today to make arrangements to re- sume his studies immediately. ‘While on the other side he was sta- tioned at Alsace, in a - mountainous district where there was no fighting. In this district the French forces were lying in wait. Daily reports were received of coming attacks by the Germans but they always failed to take place so he saw but little ! fighting in this section. However, he | did see many airplane engagements. A flock of airplanes on scout duty | came every afternoon and, battles ir the air were frequently staged in full view of the French soidiers. He was a member of the 64th section in the | field service. In speaking of the cleverness and efficiency of the spy system he told of one instance in which the French received information of an attack which the Germans were preparing to launch on September 1. The scouts brought in the news that the attack | was coming and also that the Ger- mans were going to use a new kind gas. Being forewarned, the French prepared for the coming at- tack. It came and with it the new | gas. It is all the more terrible, he | sald, because it is practically odor- | less and cannot be detected until the men begin to fall. The new gas acts somewhat similar to ether, causing no pain but kills in a slow and steady | manner. The Germans have also used another gas with deadly results | that is composed of bhurning ingred- | ients. A bomb is thrown which, when it lands, bursts and sprays the gas high into the air. In coming down it‘ settles on trees, stones, fences and | the ground like a cloud. This gas acts like carbolic acid, eating through cloth and burning the flesh and Mr. Axelson relates one incident in which an ambulance driver lay down to rest on the ground where some of | this gas had fallen. The end of the tale is that the soldier was burned | severely, necessitating his removal to the hospital. German Cruelty Not Exaggerated. “German cruelty is as bad as you have heard,” said Mr. Alexson. ‘A school has been erected on the Marne to teach the children to use the stubs of hands which are the result of the slashing and cutting of the invading German: In compliance with their “Kultur” thé Germans cut the hands off the young children to render them useless for military duty when they grow up. The hands of girls and off the women.

When the word went around that:the Ameri- cans were coming there was an im- mediate change in spirit. At first the French were joyful but when the khaki-clad sons of America finally set foot on French soil the spirits of the French knew no bounds. The French are in it now again to fight to the end but even' with the great assistance which the American forces will lend unless there is a revolution in Ger- many or the Russian forces again en- ter the fight the war will undoubtedly continue for another two years, said Axelson. England Doing More Than Her Bit. When Axelson left this country he did so with his mind prejudiced against the English. Many pe&ople ar- gued that the English were not doing their share in the war. He found out when he arrived in England that this was not true. The Tommies he claims, are classed as the best fighters along the front. As an example, he said that the English have conscripted all their men, married or unmarried and they are now on the field or in some way serving. The.physical examina- tions have been so lowered that men that have lost a toe or a finger or have some other minor physical defect are not exempted. Men that in the early part of the war were exempted are now being recalled for re-examina- tion and will' be pressed into service. According to his lowest estimation the English have put approximately four million men into the field.

MURDERED WOMAN FOUND WITH HEAD OFF Identification Impossible Becauso of Terrible Condition of Body, and Re- calls Similar Murder of Teacher. Seattle, Oct. 15.—The body of a wo- man, evidently murdered three or four months ago, was found yesterday in the brush three-quarters of a mile from the Country Club road near the city limits of Seattle. Identification was impossible. The head was found some distance from the body. This crime recalls the mysterious murder last April of Mrs. Florence Wehn, wife of a Seattle school teach- er. She was killed by a blow over the head and her body was found in a clump of brush. Her slayer has not vet been arrested. There is a disposition in some quar- ters to link these two murders with the career of a so-called woman slug- ger who has been terrorizing the wo- men of this city for several months past. During the last 36 hours six attacks on women in Seattle have been re- ported. NO SLACKER HERE! Bridgeport Young Man Stosd Toes to Make Height.

Candelo was again ordered on the scales and this time his height showed 61 inches. The examining physicians noticed however that the boy was raising his heels and another measurement was taken showing his true height to be five feet, one-half inch, or half an inch short of the re- quirements. Candelo is 20 years old. The war department has been asked by the recruiting officer for authority to enlist him. when he presentde height was as FOLLOWERS HANGED.

Giants of 1 to 2 2-3 points were made by leading steels, Central Leather, Anaconda copper, Texas company and other cquipments as well as Reading, New York Central, Baltimore and Ohio, Missourl Pacific and Rock Is- land. Canadian Pacific, Atchison and St. Paul were lower, also shippings and active specialties. Gains and losses became more mixed later. The uncertain trend of the list dur- ing the moderate trading of the morn- ing was illustrated by the course of such prominent issues as U. 8. Steel and Union Pacific. Steel reacted from its top of 104 1-2 to below 103 and Union Pacific fell 2 points after a sub- | stantial fractional gain. Further evi- dence of liquidation In specialties was furnished by the weakness of tobac- { cos, shippings, oils, metals, motors and utilities, in *which recessions extended from 11-2 to 41-2 points Liberty bonds sold at 99.76 to 99.80.

As a rule the French soldiers are assigned to trench fighting for a stretch of two weeks at a time but at the end of two weeks if reports are received of an attack to be made or that the enemy has suddenly de- | cided to advance, there is no “time | off.” 5 | Life in the trenches is so terrible | that it is almost beyond description, | that is, in the trenches that are locat- ed in the sections where there is active fighting. Reports from other sections showed that upon many occasions it was a common occurence to hear a l soldier calmly say that he deliberately | exposed his hand to be wounded and | sent to the rear.
