MAN WHO SERVED ~ AS A CAPTAIN IN THE 305TH INFANTRY. “‘Mopping Up’’ Bazoches Heroic Exploits by Detachments of the 77th| | Infantry and Engineers Paved the Way for a Complete “Clean-Up”’ of a Ger- man Stronghold. By J. M. Loughborough Former Captain, U, A., and Inteciligence Officer, 805th Infantry Copsright, 1910, by the Prom Dublishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) RAISEWORTHY plan was suggested for “m: ing up” Bazoches, from which point the Germans were doing their worst work. ‘Tue plan was this: An infantry company, with @ detachment of en- gineers, was to approach Bazoches from the left, sur- round it on two sides and the rear and then go through the place, throwing hand grenades into the buildings, while the engineers were to approach the chateau and blow up part of it so as to rout the Germans hid- den there, The plan was carried out perfectly, but the Germans had secret hiding places and the hand gren- ades failed to reach many of them. But the Germans were completely demoralized by the attack. When our men withdrew, two of the engineers became separated from their detachment and hid in a pile of charcoal sacks in Bazoches. Here they remained for thirty-six During that time Germans passed within only a few feet of them. One of the engineers understood German and he learned that the Boches were pantc strick-s over the constant hammering of the 77th Division. Two Boche semtries met n the charcoal pile and one of them exclaimed “Mein Gott! se Americans are| hell! There's over a million of them | 4nd Cox shot down two men.

By Zoe Beckley Copyright, 1919, by the Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) OW does New York “look” to a man who has never seen it, yet bas H lived in it for a dozen years? H 1, SATURDAY, MARC I wanted to ask this question of Viadamir Resnikoff, who is rightly called “Singer of the people's soul.” For he has seen New York in a way no man with sight has een it, And he knows its soul almost as woll as the soul of his own Russia. But Resnikoff does not like to be approached “on his blind side.” No hint of his blindness ever appears in the announcements, of his recitals. He never voluntarily speaks of it. But if you urge, he will say: “It is a handicap, yes. But no man need give up a single ambition because of It. Let him follow his art or bis business fn the absolute knowl- edge that what is lost to him in one sense will be made up in overflowing measure in other ways. As for New York—no one knows elther its external gran- deur or its warm, good heart like the man who is spared its ugliness, and beneath.” I met Viadimir Resnikoff the other) miracle.
