“I WANT a German officer, if possible. If you cannot get an officer, bring me back a sergeant."
That was the instruction of a French colonel who required to know the strength of the German forces opposing his men.
Just before dawn a French sub-lieutenant and his men silently bridged a narrow stream separat ing the French and German lines and stole into a German village.
They made a vain house-to-house search. "Confound

"Where can they be hiding?"

lieutenant.
He entered a cottage by a back door. Not a sign of life, but there were blankets in which soldiers had slept.
As he opened the front door and stepped Into the little winding street he came face-to- face with two Germans.
One was a sergeant-major, the other a private. The sergeant-major carried a sub-machine- gun. He raised it to fire on the lieutenant, but before he could fire the lieutenant had wounded him with a revolver shot. The German private. ran away.
Aroused by the sirooting, several Germans rushed out from houses further along the street. The lieutenant slung the wounded sergeant- major across his shoulders, and with the cor- poral and his men covering him he carried his prisoner back towards the French lines.
As he recrossed the stream the plank bridge sagged under the double weight and lieutenant and prisoner were flung into the water.
