FRENCH SHOW MUCH BRAVERY Artillery Helps Greatly in Leveling Barbed Wire Entanglements French Front June 12. (Corre spondence of the Associated Press) —lf the "morale' 1 of troops may be based on the Initiative they display in face of the enemy, then that of the French soldiers at all points of the fronf must be regarded as ex cellent. Three years of the severest kind of warfare has not Jaded them. In fact, the spirit of attacks has, if anything, increased anions them. The recruits of the younger classes learn quickly to'profit from the ex perience of their comrades who have become veterans and past masters in the art of furnishing surprises to the enemy, and after their Incor poration into the fighting units In the trenches, where the.v rapidly ac quire the routine of continual watch fulness, they lose no time In demon strating their desire to carry out some act of individual daring. Living among them, as the writer has done throughout the great oper ations of the Somme, in the Argonne, on the Aisne, in Champagne, in Al sace and around Verdun, one ac quires an unbounded admiration for the unceasing activity and virility of the French soldiers of all branches of the service. Even during the In tervals between great attacks and battles, when it would be expected they would be only too eager to seek repose and relaxation from the hard ships and perils of trench life, there are always to be found daring men among them who voluntarily go out towards the German lines In search of adventure always with the hope of bringing back some prisoners or disturbing the enemy's plans, One outlet for their overflowing activity Is the organization of trench raids in which only a few men com pose the attacking force. In these minor affairs, whose effect on the general situation at the front is more Important than at first would ap pear, since they harry the enemy, and keep him constantly guessing and worrying as to what may follow, the French soldiers havo become expert, and they rarely return to their trenches without some prisoners and some valuable Information as to con ditions in the opposing lines. Colonels Have Final Word The commander of the army is not consulted as to the carrying out of these raids. Each colonel of a regiment has the final word as to whether his men shall take the risk, and the colonels take good care not to discourage their men from dis playing their individuality. The problem of overcoming the network of barbed wire protecting the front lines of the enemy's po sition presented difficulties at the be ginning of the campaign, but artil lery has now acquired the mastery of that obstacle and as a consequence the enemy no longer finds himself In security behind It. All the French colonel wants to know, when a raid Is about to be undertaken, is the hour at which It is Intended to start. A few minutes suffices to make pen etration by resolute infantrymen pos sible. Sudden outbreaks of artillery fire are so frequent that the enemy often pays no more attention to them than to return some shells, while the HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH troops manning his front trenches seek shelter In their dugouts until the shower of steel has stopped. The enemy's uncertainty as to what Is to happen frequently leads to his undoing, for before he has made up his mind that French guns have decided to cease firing and that It is safe to come out from the shel ters again he finds French soldiers leaping into the trenches and throw ing grenades into the mouths of the dugouts while calling on their oc cupants to surrender. Refusa.l or hesitation means a further volley of f;ranades and almost certain severe njury or death to those Inside. Therefore they shout "Kamarade," throw down their arms and come out to be chased before their cap tors back through the broken net work of barbed wire to the French lines. Rcliiien(s Specialize for Raids In one division the regiments made a speciality of surprise trench raids and acquired almost unbelievable skill In carrying them out almost without loss to themselves. One reg iment, in the course of the lsst month, had to its credit ten such raids, as a result of which, besides killing many enemies, they captured fifty-three German prlroners. with out the loss of a single Frenchman. The French and Oerman lines are so close that a raid rarely takes more than ten minutes—just the time to race across the open, make the haut of prisoners and race back with them again. Night or day makes no difference—the main Idea Is to go over the top and get hack to the French lines with the pris oners after causing as much damage as possible before the Germans have time to throw In reinforcements to their front trench.

The new banner already has received its baptism of blood. Five hundred men of the new republic aided the French to repulse a sharp attack by Al banian tribes co-operating with the Austrian regular troops at Moscopol. Thus far the new republic includes only the city of Koritza with a pop ulation of 88,000 and the surround ing region, comprising altogether about9o,ooo Inhabitants. It Is located In that part of Albania In which the longing for liberty and tranquility JUNE 12, 1917. bas been most devleoped through re peated pillaging by neighboring Al banians and continual oppression by foreigners. The Albanians, accustomed to sum mary and primitive means of admin istration and justice are taking to Republican ideas and the parliamen tary regime, and considerable unsus pected oratorical talent has been discovered In this land where pow der only has talked heretofore. The Idea of forming the Skipetar Republic is due to Colonel Descolns, commanding the French forces sta tioned here. When he assumed com mand of the post he called all the notables of the town together and talked to them In this vein. "Sklpetars, my friends, until De cember, 1912, you suffered under Turkish regime; In May, 1913, It was the Greek army that mistreated you; then until March, 1914, you becamo familiar with the Inconveniences ot Greek civil administrationj In July, 1914, it -was the noxious buffoonery of Prince de "Wlert that was Imposed upon you) In December, 1916, It was again the Greek military occupation}- in ortober. 191K, it was the Greek royalist civil administration, and in •November, 191fi, the Venezellst, fol l°wed in December by the French • m II ?l: occupß,lon w 'th Greek civil authorities.
