Our artillery fired effectively at first on
,the German advance, but later ioat tha
range.' Towarda 1 o'clock our position
became critical.
"As every vital moment slipped, anxious
eyes looked back for tha promised help
that was never to coma. Even at the
terrible disadvantage of mora than ten
to one the Infantry and artillery wera
holding fhelr own when hordes of Vhlans
seemed suddenly to swoop down from
nowhere.
"Through tha town they galloped with
an amaalng disregard for themselves and
up to tha very muulca of our field guns.
Their losses ware appalling, but survivors

Figures mean so very little that we suggest that you
get out a yard stick and measure off 26 x42 inches to get
an accurate idea of the dimensions of this table, then
take into consideration that this is a heavy Plank Top,
not a veneered top. The shelf below is also a plank shelf. .
The Table has a stationery drawer. (Does not include
skin throw.)
FUMED OAK $17.50 VALUE.
Without a single exception, Fumed Oak is the most
durable finish that can be applied to furniture and in the
estimation of thousands is the most beautiful; certainly
no other finish blends so perfectly with all other finishes
or decorations as Fumed Oak. The low price which we
quote makes it all the more desirable.
