Among after tales of the g<*eat bat tle of Loos, which have just appeared ki the official records, are stories of tLo heroism of various uiuividual oLH ers during ilie progress of the t.attle Who have been rewarded by the mili tary cross or the Distinguished Service Order. Oue of the most remarkable deeds was that of Lieutenant ilollwey of tile Royal artillery, who took u field t. Ie phono aml wire to a little force of Brit fell who were clinging to the trenches ♦n the far side of the cu|*urod HoLieu aoiicni redoubt. At times Ilollwey had to crawl across the tops of the excavations, in plain view of the German machine gunners only a few hundred yards away, slowly uncoiling telephone wire behind him. Before he hud gone ten yards he was hit in the leg. He crawl ad on. Before he had finished his task another missile struck the same leg. breaking the bone. Still Ilollwey struggled on. Two oth er telephone men crawled out to take him to safety and for their pains were ardered to leave him and finish laying but the wire Not until nil was secure would he consent to lie carried to the hospital. Nearly All Wounded Twice. Scarcely one of the officers mentioned hi the orders hut was wounded at least twice. Captain Itennis of the Scottish borderers, twice wounded uud carried to the rear, scrambled out of the am bulance. escaped from the dressing sta tion aud ran back to bis company to be with tlieni on the final charge, only to receive a third bullet. But even Captain Dennis was surpassed by Cap tain K ears ley of the Welsh fusiliers, who stuck to his post at the head of bis men until he had l>een hit no less tlian seven limes. Major Gordon of the London artil lery. sent forward to the German trendies with a reconuoitering party, ■hot one German with his revolver and returned through the midst of a ter rific tire, marching twelve German pris oners before biui. Captain Bird of the London field ambulance corps worked for twenty- ; three hours without a stop, tending wounded and carrying them to the rear through u terrific shell fire, and was twice seen coolly carrying off M'ounded on a stretcher with German rifle bullets whistling all around him j He remained on duty for fifty five hours in all without a rest. Lieutenant Williams of the Buff's, j heading u bomb party, threw 2.o:w> bombs in seventeen hours, holding his position throughout that time in a heavy rainstorm, lighting the damp fuses from his cigarette. After he had been relicv< d it was discovered that he had been seriously wounded early In the fighting. Captain Williams of the Welsh guards, commanding a machine gun squad, was dangerously wo.aided, but > returned to bis post and directed t lie fire of his men while lying on his hack on the ground, unable to raise himself, until at midnight relief came up. and he was carried to the rear. Lieutenant Wood of the Grd.m highbinders, after marching 275 pris oners. taken in Loos by himself and his company, to the rear, returned with badly needed supplies of ammu nition to find bis company clinging des perately to a position under hill TO. under heavy fire, and with every other officer down. He promptly took com- ; mand and held on to tlie position un til relieved. Lieutenant I'useh of the London iu fautry. Ik ad of a bomb party, was enraged in the perilous work of rout ' fcig the Germans out of the cellars in 1 Loos in which they had taken refuge Plunging ii %> one house ahead of his men. he found himself alone in the presence of seven Germans, one of whom fired on him and wounded him ki the face. In spite of this lie cap ttired the entire lot and continued with his work without stopping to have his wound dressed HiS CISTERN FULL OF CiDER Farmer's Crop Too Big For Barrels, H Uses Paraffined Underearth Tank.

I.—Thirty one men, most of them young, were j killed and seven were injured when S.COO pounds of black powder explcd d I in a packing house in the Upper Hng iey yard of the E. I. Dupont de Nemors & Co. in Wilmington. Tne cause, the company says, is a mystery. Ihe killed are: James Ben jamin Barber, Marge Bricotti, Elmer Cumpston, James Egner, Harry Elliott, Elmer Fox, Norman Fisher, James Gemmit, Nelson Newgate, J. Haber, Fred Jeffrey Kelcher, Edward K.ng, James Malloy, Bryan O'Connor, Harry, Place, G. Siivestri, Paul Smack, John I Smack, Wesley Simpson, E. Spring field, Allan A. Thaxter (foreman), Les lie Timmons, W. Wein, Elmer Mace, Patrick Hanrahan, C. Pleasanton, Wil liam Oliver, Lewis Booker and one man thus far unidentified. The injured are Edward Davis, E. F. Ware, P. J. Sikes, W. H. Oliver, J. R. Meredith, all of whom are at local i hospitals. The explosion was so severe that only a hole in the ground marks the spot. The packing house was blown to pieces, as were other structures nearby. There were twenty-five men and youths from sixteen to twenty j one years at work in the packing house. None survived. They were all blown to atoms, not enough of any body being found to enable identifica tion. The others killed were outside ! the building. For hours after the ex plosion other workmen in the yards were busy with buckets and baskets picking up arms, legs and remnants of flesh scattered over surrounding country and hanging from trees for ovr r a quarter of a mile. ihe on:y ooCiy identified among those known to have been in the pack ing house is that of Allen A. Thaxter of Portland, Me., foreman in the mill. The trunk of his body was blown across the Brandywine creek and was identified by shreds of clothing that clung to tho mangled flesh, j When an official of the company was asked if the explosion could be attributed to outside agencies, bis re ply was that it was a mystery and, while a thorough investigation had been started and would be pun-ued diligently, there is nothing on which to base any suspicion. The disaster was one of the worst that has ever occurred in the history of the Dupont company. Twenty-five years ago six mills in the same plant exploded and killed fourteen men and injured a number of others. The money loss in this latest explosion will only be a few thousand dollars. The packing house was of frame, eighteen feet by twenty feet and one story high. All of the injured were badly muti lated, some having their eyes blown cut and limbs almost torn off. Some will die. ihe scenes about the plant were heartrending. Hundreds of relatives of workmen clamored for admission or screamed in anguish. The entrances to the works were patrolled by armed guards who kept everybody outside. The victims would have been through for the day at 3 p. m. The mill was a pellet packing house, the employees being engaged in packing powder in wooden boxes, each box containing twenty pounds. The build ing was divided into six rooms. Just before the explosion occurred a car carrying several thousand pounds of powder was run along a narrow rail road track to the door of the packing house. This was drawn by two horses. One theory is that some of the powder spißed from the car and, falling on the tracks, was ignited by the car passing over it. The thirty victims will probably all j be buried in one grave. j 1 MOVIE IN REV/ ROLE I I Alleged Cripple Caught Dancing; Suing Railroad For Injuries. - New Orßans, Dec. 1. —Moving pic- 1 turcs of scenes of gay life in New i/rleans, in which a supposed paralytic Is shown to have discarded his crutch- I es and to be giving an exhibition oi clog dancing on a restaurant table, to the apparent delight of two New Or leans girls, who were employed as as- • sistant detectives, will be used by the ( Texas and Pacific railroad in fighting a $45,000 damage suit instituted by "Thomas Gilchrist" in the United * States court at Marshall, Tex., and j which Is to be besrd at an early date.

London, Dec. 1. —The number of Servians who have taken re.uje in Albania is estimated by the Athens correspondent cf the Star at 250,000, including se'diers civilians. Tne I army is to have retained all its i rr.cu.itain batteries and some of the ; field guns. A large number of Serv ian beys between,the ages of fi.'teen f.r.d seventeen accompanied the army ar.d will be trained to fill the gaps in .-he ranks. The fight'ng on the Austro-Italian j -'rent has been the most sustp ned and fiercest battle cf the whole war. For , weeks the Italians havp> been attaclc :r.g the Austrian bridgeheads and mountain positions along the Isonzo river, and ate slowly but surely draw ing their nets around Tolmino, Gori zia and DRb.-rdo. Their attacks have been repea'e.i time after time against positions which had been most care fully prepared, and while the Aus trians report that most of these as saults have been repulsed, their ac counts are considered here to have been so worded as to prepare the pub lic for their retirement from Gorizia at least. This for the time being is Italy's contribution to the Balkan operations of the allies for it keeps a large fo-ce of Austrians busy and makes it neces sary for them continually to bring up reinforcements which could be fuFy emplovod against the Montene grins and Servians.
