Stories of Courage and Heroism Told by Soldiers During Lull Along Somme British Front in France, Sept.

27, via London, Sept. 28. In the lull which has occurred after the great two days' battle in which five villages and 5,000 prisoners were taken by the allies, the correspondent of the Associated Press has had an opportunity to glean many stories from the participants in the struggle. These stories were not only of courage and heroism, but of a humor and paradox possible only in such complicated and remorseless The most wonderful of all the tales told was perhaps, that of one of the tanks, armored motor cars, which started for on its own account. This monstrous land ship, ambling and rumbling along, did not wait on the infantry after the taking of Guedecourt, but plodded over shell holes and across lots looking for its prey like some prehistoric lizard.

In course of time it found a German trench but as it engaged the occupants with its machine gun it ran out of gasoline. When the Germans found this strange creature, with its steel hide impenetrable to bullets, stalled, curiosity and a desire for revenge was a fillip to their courage. They went after it with the avidity of prehistoric man stalking a wounded mammoth whose bulk was fast in one of the alleys of the cave dwellers. No such game was ever seen on this western front, marked as it has been by all kinds of bizarre fighting. Swarmed Tank According to the accounts given by the British officers with veracious solemnity, while the tank's machine gun blazed right and left some of Germans managed to creep along the trenches under the forelegs and hindlegs of the crouching beast.

Then they swarmed over it looking for an opening through which to strike at its vitals. They fired their riffes into joints and bombed it all over, but to no more avail than burglars trying to reach the inside of a battleship turret with tank's a machine jimmy. guns All the kept while, the human targets in reach while its crew, chosen daredevils, concluded to stick until they starved or the Germans found the proper can opener to get them out. Finally the British in the rear, seeing the tank in distress, refused 'to wait on any general's orders that they should remain the objective which they had gained. They were out to save that impounded tank and with a cheer they rushed the Germans and overwhelmed them.

When the crew heard the laughing and shouting in English they opened the door and called out: "We are all right if you will only get us some more juice so that the old girl can have a guzzle of her proper drink and we can take the road again." So the infantry formed a line in front of the tank determined to defend her to the last man while a runner was hurried back for a can of gasoline. The gasoline arrived safely and the beast, having taking a swallow, ambled back into reserve amidst wild cheering. It left behind 250 dead Germans, according to its I commander. All Comforts of Home Another tank which did well in this fight assisted in the taking of Thiepval. There was once a chateau in Thiepval.

The cellar is still there, roofed by the remains of the dwelling, bricks, stone and mortar in a thick shell of pounded debris which protected it from penetration even nine and twelve-inch high explosives. Here the Germans waited, smoking their mild cigars and drinking soda water which was brought up through shellproof underground tunnels while the ruins over their heads were belabored vainly by the British artillery. They had the sense 'of security of an early Kansas settler when he went below and closed his cellar door during a cyclone. Of course they had a machine gun ready to welcome the British infantry instantly that the British bombardment stopped. When that gun began rattling Mr.

Thomas Atkins took cover and tried ways of means of silencing it. The taking of Thiepval and the Zollern redoubt, which lies between it and Courcelette, a wonderful business. Thiepval was held by the One Hundred and Eightieth German regiment which had been there for a the defenders fortified the comlong time. en According to prisoners, manding ridge with an amazing series of ramified tunnels and dugouts. They had dug into the chalky earth with beaver-like industry until they were safe under a shell fire which would have turned a fort like Maubeuge or type into the jumbled grave its Liege or any other of the Pre- e-war garrison.

The men of the Hundred and Eightieth asked permission to remain in Thiepval, giving their word that it would never be taken from them, and the German army command consented. Not only at this village, but all along the ridge upon which hangs the whole Anglo-French movement was the same maze of warrens where the Germans lived with all the comforts of home. German Reichstag Will Be Only in Minor Degree Legislative Occurrence Berlin, Sept. 27, via London, Sept. The autumn session of the i reichstag, which begins to-morrow, will be only in a minor degree a legislative occurrence.

Another feature of the session will be an explanation of economic situation of the country by Vice-Chancelor Dr. Karl Helfferich.

VILLA INTENDED TO RAID TEXAS Expeditionary Force Learns He Had Idea of Striking North Field Headquarters American Punttive Expedition in Mexico, Sept. 27. by Radio to Columbus, N. Sept.

28. Francisco Villa with 600 men was at Santa Clara ranch, 30 miles east of Namiquipa September 23 for the immediate purpose of capturing trains near Laguna and with the idea of striking north and Invading Texas in the vicinity of Fabens, according to the Intest and most detailed report of the bandit leader's movements recelved to-night field headquarters. The following leading adherents are said to be with Villa: Jose Inez Salazar, Martin Lopez, Three arga brothers, Nikolas Fernandez. Villa, himself, is said to be unable to walk without crutch or to put his right foot on the ground. The horses in his band are reported to be in poor condition and his followers are said to be in rags.

The American expeditionary headquarters declined to vouch for the authenticity of the reports, but it 1m believed possible Villa might enter the Santa Clara country for the purpose of recruiting or securing a base from which he could attack trains and obtain supplies. This region is his old stamping ground; the outlaw knows the country thoroughly and it would afford him an almost secure hiding place. The report makes no mention of pursuing force, but the fact that Carranza troops are moving towards that Chihuahua is known at headquarters. General Francisco Gonzales at Pearson. Colonel Felippe Cortinas with 150 men who have been serving as garrison at Casas Grandes, marched last night to Galeana, in the Santa Maria Valley.

Investigation today failed to substantiate a report that a fight occurred last night at San Luis ranch, 40 miles east of the American headquarters. Crossing Into Mexico Is Still Regarded as Invasion El Paso, Sept. the crossing of the Mexican frontier by armed American soldiers is still regarded as an act of invasion to be repelled by armed force is reyealed in a message received to-day by Consul Andres Garcia from Colonel Jose Riojas, chief of arms at Ojinaga, relative to the trespass committed in the Big Bend district on September 19 and 21. For this act General Funston has since ordered a court-martial of the offenders. Five our men were sent to tell them of the order issued.

As before the wamericans opened fire which was American horse was that killed some and of pools the of blood invaders found had showed wounded. This clash took place four leagues from the river, demonstrating that the main authors of the trouble "were the Americans and not my troops." Col. Riojas said that the American commander at Presidio, Texas, was convinced that his own men were at fault and had offered to make satisfactory amends. Last Stand of Col. Zuayua Who Fought to Death Against Villa Is Dead El Paso, Sept.

of the last stand of Col. Carlos Zuazua and his guard of twenty men who fought to the death against Villa at Santa Isabel about 33 miles west of Chihuahua City on the night of September 20, are given in copies of "El a Carranza organ of Chihuahua, reaching here to-day. The account is as follows: "Col. Zuazua occupied his private car at Santa Isabel, guarded by thirty men, the only ones who had not deserted him to join the Villa band. Suddenly a band of twenty led by Villa in person, opened fire on the car.

Zuazue in his nightclothes jumped from his bed and after letting in his guard, locked the doors. For two hours Col. Zuazua said his band made a desperate resistance, but the Villa men rushed the car, killed every one inside and then burned the car." After this success the bandits sacked the stores of the town and the supply station of the Carranza force, seizing food and clothing. When General Trevino in Chihuahua found communication at Santa Isabel broken, he suspected something was wrong and ordered General Jose Cavazos to get off. He got as far as St.

Andrews, near Santa Isabel, when he was surprised and routed by Villa. Five survivors of the fight arrived in Chihuahua, according to the paper, with their ears cut off and suffering from exposure and hardship.

BIG STRIKE DOES NOT MATERIALIZE Leaders Claim 125,000 Out; Police Can't Find Trace of General Trouble New York, Sept. of union labor appeared to have met with small success in their renewed efforts to bring about their promised general strike to aid the striking traction employes which was called to begin yesterday, Despite the claims of the leaders that the number who have quit work totals 125,000 and more, police officials said to-day that if a strike was in progress there was little evidence of it. "If there is a general labor strike in this city we can't find it." said the secretary of the police commissioner. Service on the elevated and subway lines continued normal, to-day except for the withdrawal of a large number of cars owing to the decreased traffic due to the Jewish holiday and the general situation seemed to be about the same as it has been for the last week. Unions having a total membership of 164,000 are to vote on the strike late to-day.

One of the most important of these organizations is the New York Building Trades Council. It was announced that 7,000 brewery workers will strike to-day, but it stated that these men have a trade agreement which, permits them to have a holiday this season every year.

Whether they will remain out on strike cannot be determined until next week.

To-day is the beginning of the third week of the strike of the street car men. One passenger was injured when a Third avenue elevated train was showered with bricks and bottles to-day. Other Third avenue trains were also attacked but the damage was limited to broken windows. The police arrested four men, two of them striking street railway employes on a charge of being responsible for the riot that took place last night following the derailment of a Third avenue surface car at Ninety-sixth street. The statement to-day by Ernest Bohm, State organizer of the American Federation of Labor was: "We have 163.000 out at this moment.

We will have quite a surprise for you this afternoon. I am not bluffing when I say this." Reports received at police headquarters to-day were that 12,000 tunnel workers on new subway construction were preparing to strike.
