I 1 8 Monday, November 28, wi THE WINNIPEG EVENING TRIBUNE OFFICER id ME III TIE TOWN AND 50flBDCHES Canucks Also Inflict Heavy Casualties By Astounding Bluff By LIEUT. R. S. M. STURGES Author of "On the Remainder of Our Front" As It stands, the story appears to te almost incredible, but for that reason perhaps it carries greater conviction.

No writer of fiction i would dare to Invent it. During recent lintish successes on the western front a Oanadian officer I went out with two men to reoonnol-ter a certain village, which he had reason to believe was already in Iln-tlsh hands. Followed by his two men he walked dow the village street looking among the ruins for any signs of human occupation. Suddenly rounding a corner he found more than he had bai mined for; the road in front was full of Germans. To all appearances the ame was up he had been seen and there was no chance of getting away.

Perhaps It was the realization that It was "neck or nothing" that en- abled him to do what he did. Without betraying the slightest sign of surprise or fear, he turned, blew his whistle and gave the signal to advance, as though he was at the head of several hundred men Instead of two. At the sound of his whistle and nt the appearance round the corner of the two soldiers, the Germans took alarm and began moving off down the street. H-ade appeared out of windows; a cry was raised and passed from one to another "Iie Knglaender," and out of every house streamed scores of field gray figures, who joined In the hurried retreat along the road. The Oinadian officer, somewhat surprised at the success of his ruse, determined to follow it up.

Telling one of his men to get back to the company and bring up some more men by no means an unwise precaution he went on with the other, and found that all the Germans had disappeared into a number of deep dusjouts on the further side of the village, with the exception of a German officer who stood outside with his arms raised above his head. As the Canadian officer approached, the Gernuin called out In English "We surrender!" "How many men have you got In thoTe?" asl-V the other. "About 50u." The officer concoalcd a gn.p of astonishment ami Inwardly breathed a prayer that his men would arrive eoon; but ail he said was: "Jmve 'crm out then, one, by one." As each man ciune out ho wn.s relieved of his arms, ami a collection was made arf rifles, ammunition, otc, Including several machine guns. Soon after the disarming of the prisoners h'ad begun a number Boohos scattered from another port at the village and fled aicrosn a neighboring field; apparently tlhe news of the Kngluth attack had upread. Such an opportunity waj not to be mlHsod and the officer and his one remaining man each 1 seized one of the captured machine guns and optmed a destructive fire on (he dank of the retreating C.er-imira tmMr prisoners actually looked on indifferently.

Shortly afterwards the reinforcements arrived and the remainder of the prisoners were broiiglit up from their duimutfl, dlsmned and marcihed under escort to the rear. That Canadian officer had every reason to be satisfied with his day work. With the assistance of one man and of an amazing degree of courage he had captured a village, taken 5oo prisoners ami Inflicted heavy commit ls on the enomy. He I had W'on outright a game In which he had not a single winning card ex- enpt one and that card was twt he lwvd pluck behind It.

This year's business has been exceptionally good, considering conditions. The Influenza epidemic in the last two months caused a noticeable slump, particularly In the night tus-tnesx but this I am sure, is only temporary. Prices have been very i' high, because of the continuous rise In prices for raw foods. I-Tom the opinions of food authorities there will be no drop food prices for some time to come. In our line dealers cannot carry heavy stocks s.if'-ly, and therefore prices are regulated by the market prices of raw commodities Pre-war conditions will come about gradually and almost unnoticed.

I There will few changes for at I least a year to 20 months. At least I two years will puss before we will find ourselves operating on peacetime basis. Br A. G. JCY of The Phonograph Shop I Ruslnefs Is pood, es-peclally In 1 the cash department.

Week week and every month, the amount I of business has Increased, and, with I the holiday hujlng season at hand. I things should be even better for the next two months. In the I country particularly In the districts where the crop was bad, things are not so good. In other districts, how. ever, wc have made record sales.

Peace should bring bettor times. Many people are too pesimlstic about conditions after the war. A larve number, however, aie on' and are doing their pest to Keen things at the highest level. There will be no changes In prices for the time being at least. Rumania Wants Thit map, drawn especially by Nicholas Lupu of the Rumanian par- liament, shows the territory Rumania will demand at the peace conference territory now under Hungarian, Austrian or Russian rule.

The old territory of Rumania it shown in white. It lies between the Austro-Hungarian empire, Russian Bessarabia and Bulgaria. By A. E. GEUDHOF Rumania, right now the unhnpplost nation in Europe, Is making plans for i revenge on the HUNS at the peace conference.

Surrounded by enemies and with only a few square miles of Its territory left. Its people Btarvlng, its armies decimated, Rumania was forced by the Germans to make peace last winter. It was a shnmeful peace, and the Rumanian people were humiliated. "Hut now their day of Justice is approaching," said Dr. Nicholas Lupu.

a member of the Rumanian Parliament, who fled from his country when the Germans occupied It, In an interview. "At the peace conference Rumania will demand her own, and she has every confidence that her gTeat allies will see that she gets It. By self-determination of the Rumanian people, who Inhabit the eastern provinces of Hungary we will gain what wc, entered the war for the territory Inhabited by Rumanians who have been oppressed by Austria-Hungary. "Most of the worlda's wars have been fought In Belgium and Rumania. Till 1877 we were subjected to four powers: Turkey, Russia-Austria and Hungary.

In 1877 Rumania and Dobnidja liberated themselves from the Turks, leaving under foreign oppression, until the present time, the province of Bessarabia un- der the Russians, Transylvania, Ra-nat, parts of Crishana and Maramu- resh under the Hungarians, and liuk- owina under the Austrlans. I "These Rumanian people, spooking a Latin language like the French and Italian, and claiming descent from the early Roman empire, have 1 been cruelly persecuted by their for- eign oppressors. Four million of them In Hungary were denied their own schools and the use of their own 4 language. They had only four rep- rcscntatives to 4,000.000 people, while I the Hungarians have 400 representa- CJ tives for 8,000.000 people. "After the Russian revolution Bes- sarabia won its freedom, and exerels- Ing the right of self-determination, 1 voted to unite with its mother coun- I try, Rumania.

The Dobrudja was won from Bulgaria In the Balkan war of 1913. Still we must win the pro- vinces under Austrian and Magyar domination before we can become a I unified nation. 1 "Our government Is a stable one, and the king and queen are beloved by their people. Once the peace con- 1 ference gives the oppressed people I of Austria and Hungary the right to I say to what nation they belong, Ru- mania will take its children to "Rumanian national unity Is es- I I sential for the maintenance of the I I equilibrium of Europe and for the I Justice of the world. Our hope, like that of all small nations, lies in America and President Wilson.

ARMENIAN UNION UPS TERMS OF TURK ARMISTICE Says Clause 24 Does Not Protect Adequately From Renewal Of Massacres BOSTON Holding-clause 24 In the urkish armistice to be Inadequate to safeguard Armenian Interests and i prevent a recurrence of massacres, Mlran Sevaflly, president of the Armenian National union of America, has filed a protest with the secretaries of the Entente powers. His telegram follow: "On the occasion of capitulation of Turkey, the. Armenian National union of America, on behalf of Armenians In the United Mates and Canada, conveys to you Its hearty congratulations on the brilliant victory of allied armies against the common foe. Martyred Armenia, nftcr noble sacrifices and active participation in the field of honor by the side of tho liberal nations of the world, In the Caucasus, In Pnletilne and In '-Yance Is hourly expecting her final liberation and the recognition of her Imperishable rights to Independence. "The Armenian' National union, ciencv of some of the armistice conditions, submtts, however, that the reservation contained In clnuse 24 does not sufficiently meet exigencies of the case.

The recrudewence of Tiirkh cruelties and massncTeg during the) last fifty years In Armenia dictate, In Its humble opinion, tho urgent no- eesslty of Introducing aafogiinrds during the armlstlre period of a nature to protect the Armenian population In the six provinces and Clllcla by IntnisUng c-cupntlon under the allied commnnd to the Armenian I troops In the trans-Caucasus and Palestine. "The preenc: of Turkish troopa in any part of Armenia at once menace and obstacle to the return of Armenlnn refuges to their homes Wc. moreover, muhmlt that the nH1c4 powers having declared the proV! slon of the tresv-of Ilrest.Mtovn regarding Russni Armenia, whlcl 1 forms an Inseparable part of Ar- I menla, as null and void, we venture to state that tho presence of Turkish troops In those regions has no raison d'etre. I "In the name of a martyred people I the Armenian National union renews, In Its earnest expectation that the actual authors and perpetrators of the Armenian holocaust will not be allowed to escape their condign punishment.".
