TERRIBLE! SIGHT
"Up to the 8th of March everything
went fairly irood; but on the 10th I was
fighting In the ranks of the Hlxly-nflh
Regiment of Infantry to take the Fort da
Vaux, five miles from Verdun It was a
ierrlble thing to see Germans and French
were averywhete slain by the thousands
without mercy all around the fort It Is a
wonder a man can survive after seeing
tuch a. slaughter.
"A few days later the regiment was
ordered to retire from this position nnd
take another. But we had nearly a month
of forced march before we could learn
where wo were going Everything wns kept
ft secret
"In the night of April 1C I was under a
terrible bombardment The ground shook
like a leaf, as though a terrific thunder
torm or, earthquake wns In progress In
the same day 1 learned that the regiment
was going to fight In the district of Cra

miles from the first line of trencher
"Until May 1 wo stayed about one mile
behind the first lino In reserve, but tho
hooting was going on day and night and
the regiment wag losing a good many men
On the momlng of May 1 we received the
erder to go ahead 'en nvnnt" Shells
were falling from everywhere Men all
round me were Bhot down, out or torn
to pieces by explosives nnd shrapnel
"But wo succeeded and captured a few
new llnei of trenches nnd re-enforced
them.
"It was at 2 o'clock In the morning that
my lieutenant ordered me to go with nve

post and to protect the same from any
Invasion. From this new position I could
tee the movements of the German army.
FOE FIFTEEN YARDS AWAY
"To keep this position was very Impor

Serous one, for the distance between this
post nnd the enemy wns only fifteen yards.
"I had hardly taken the" position of this
advanced fort when the Germans attacked
us with hand grenades Then a terrible
hand-to-hand fight followed My comrndes
and I were fighting like lions, for we didn't
want to give up tho .place, but It was ter
rible, and one by one we fell to the ground
until the last one was pierced by machine
gun bullets or pieces of grenade and shrap
nel. "But our resistance permitted our com

and saved the position, which was nearly
In the hands of the enemy.
"In this fight among tho dead ones, but
two men remained alive myself and an

My back and my left leg were pierced and
I was badly cut In seven places by bullets

HORTICULTURIST, DEAD

Abraham Llddon Pennock, veteran horti

of raising lilies of the valley all the ear
round, died today In his ninetieth year at
hla home in Violet lane, Lansdowne Mr
Flnnock was the founder of the florist firm
of Pennock Brothers, sixty-four years ago,
nd he was known as "the grand old man of
the flower business."
Those whose favorite flower Is the Illy
of the valley owe n lasting debt of gratitude
to this veteran horticulturist, Many years
age, Mr. Pennock discovered that by placing
the bulbs of the illy of the valley In cold
storage he could keep them blooming the
year around. There were no flower cold
storage plants In those days, and for
several years Mr. Pennock kept his bulbs
in an ordinary spring house. Big flower
firms quickly grabbed his idea, and now
millions of lily of the valley bulbs repose
on Ice so that the beautiful (lower may
bloom perenlally.
In addition to being a horticulturist, Mr.
Pennock was a poet and composer. Shortly
before his death he composed several songs
nd sang them into talking-machine roc.

will be pressed. Mr Kane said that he
would make every effort to have the
Thlerlchens trial proper taken up not later
than next week.
The German sea raider's counsel Intro

"If our holdlers wero assembled In church

Soldiers, supplies and money are neces

a sincere spirit of prayer is even more

"Going to war Is a big price to pay to
