FOUGHT TO THE DEATH
Belgian General Tells Story Resistance to Huns Early in War
New York, Oct., 21.—"We had orders to fight to the death. We merely followed orders."
This was the tesis explanation here today by Lieut. Gen. Baron Jacques, commanding officer of the Army Division, and who fought at Lioge, Antwerp on the famous victory of a single Belgian brigade of infantry which stopped the Germans at Dixemouth.
"From October 19 to 26th we fought and held them without budging an inch," Jacques said. "The Germans were advancing. The fighting was very, very hot. It was inward all the time. I was wounded twice. More bodies were strewn over the ground than there were effectives.
the Germans were absolutely him, charging, charging, charging, mortal fire. We had to snuggle our finger on the trigger all the time. We couldn't get forward even to relieve our outposts, of which all but one held. This one had its men wiped out. We couldn't even succor out wounded.
"In those seven days we held every inch of ground and stopped the German ornush. Finally after the battle we retreated to the south side of the river. The Germans didn't enter Dixmude until November.
"We simply had been ordered to fight to the death. We merely followed orders.
"As an example of the terrific strain we were under: On the night of the 25th a German battalion forced its way through Dixmude to the south of it, so that they could out my candle light. Some officers were killed because their lights gave the Germans a target to shoot at. Throughout the night we heard the gunfire and killing. In front of us they were constantly charging our lines.
"But our morale held. The Germans finally stopped and the battle was ours. The German battalion which forced its way through our lines never returned. We killed or captured the entire battalion."

According to law the University of Kansas consists of two branches, a male and a female branch. It was intended that the female branch should be taught exclusively by women. This clause was inserted in the bill to appease the conservative element in the legislature. It has been persistently and constantly overridden from the opening of the University, 1866.

Marguerite Clark In a "Widow by Proxy"
NINE cases out of ten, the man who once smokes a WDC Pipe becomes a life member of the WDC club. He can't help it, because a WDC is certainly a man's size smoke. It's as sweet and mellow as carefully selected French briar and expert seasoning can make it. Not only material of the first water, but craftsmanship of the highest order, and designs that are most pleasing—all combine to make the WDC Pipe a smoke of peace, contentment and satisfaction. A man's smoke. Any good dealer will confirm this.
