PARIS, Oct . (Special Cablegram to
New York World and Omaha Uee.) It
haa already been related how gallantly
little Fort Tryon defied th Qertnana on
the Meuse, but it la only juat being real
Ised what a service it garrison rendered
the allied forces.
For five daya 450 of them kept 10 90
Germana at bay, notwithstanding the
awful pounding from th terrible guns
that gave th death blow to TUega, N
mur and other strongholds.
After two daya' bombardment, the
enemy tried to carry the fort. They got
within ten yards, but fell in such num
bers they had to withdraw. Th next
day they aummoned th gariiaon to aur
rendsr. "Never." waa th reply.
"W ahall ahelt you with our heavy
guna until you and your fort are but a
heap of cinders." came th retort
They aim out had time to carry out thla
threat before relief came. When th alege
waa ralaed, practically nothing waa left
of th fort, while rsr half Ha defenders
had been burled aliv In it ruins.
Th captain in command was wounded
In twenty-eight places and hla lieutenant
bad his leg blown away. Th governor
of Vrdun cam In person to congratulate
th garrison on Its magnificent feat, and
aver sine a stream of generals and
higher officers from all aldca has coma to
se th damage done. Every regiment
that passe haa orders to halt and render
th garrison all military honors. The de
fenders are loaded with present In recog
nition of their heroic defense.

(Orreipondene of the Associated rreas.)
PARIS. Oct. 1 Th Geneva commute
organised to centralise and aaaur th
exchange of Information regarding pris
oner of war Is receiving more than 1,000
inquiries a day by letter, in addition to
many telegrams.
Requests for Information have been re
ceived from M. Delcasse, French minister
of foreign affair, oencerning his son.
wounoea near Nancy ana pireo up ny
th Germans; from fllr Edward Grey,
Kngllah foreign minister, concerning his
nephew; Prlneeae of Saxe-Melntngen con
cerning th prtnc of Haxe-Melnlngen, of
whoa death she had not been Informed
through Oerman channels; from ths rec
tor of th university of Munich concerning
his son. a prisoner In England.
A German general, unable to do so
himself, begged .th committee to send
good newa to th wife of a French colo
nel, a prisoner at Karlsruhe.
Th Parts papers are "also serving as a
sort of clearing hous for Information
concerning families and friends dispersed
aa th result of th exodus from th north
of Franc on th approach of th Ger

of thea Inquiries and It has been pro
posed to organise a committee similar to
th Geneva commltt to take charge of
them.

LONDON. Oct U-tBpeclal Cablegram
to New York World and Omaha Bee.) A
Paris correspondent of th Rtandard
quotes a letter from a famous French
aviator recently decorated for gallantry
at ths front It reads:
"In honor of my cross, I set out and
spotted some German guna so well that
our batteries were able to knock out half
of them.
"I have been working with th artillery
since th beginning of Bepterhber. One
day I succeeded in surprising a German
division sneaking up to steal a march on
tis. They war well within rsng of our
guns, .to whom I signalled. Five minutes
sfter wards that division was nothing but
a heap of mangled corpses. We came
upon them the next day as our men ad
vanced and counted mora than 4.000
killed.
Galde for Aaaaer.
"I don't know what our gunners would
do without the help of aviators. ' Minus
the aeroplanes, ' most of the time they
would tm simply wasting time and am
multlon, whereas we are able to regulate
their shots to a hair's breath."
Paris haa Juat learned, the correspond
ent continues, that it was. only saved an
other Sunday raid owing to the ceaseless
patrol by, airmen. They had a terrible
time, for at the height they patrolled
they war blinded by terrific hall and
snowstorms or els war obliged to grope
their way through a thick fog.
It says much for th stubbornness of
the Oermana appointed to worry Paris,
that notwithstanding the conditions they
set out according to schedule. They were
signalled aa far away as Comptegn.
When they saw the preparations mad to
meet them they turned tall.
. Th Pari patrol waa kept up till night
and on aeroplane barely escaped collid
ing with th Haore Coeur cathedral by a
yard or two, having lost its bearing In
a fog.

(Correspondence of th Associated Press.)
LONDON. Oct.; S. The call for contribu
tions of Jam, which Is made by certain
Ilrtlsh war relief societies backed by the
press, may lead strangers to believe that
Thomas Atkins is th most pampered of

th hard Egyptian campaign of ISM
proved that Jam is not a luxury, but a
necessary preventive of scurvy. Millions
of pounds of Jam ware oonsumed by th
British troops In th Boer war, and th
army in France ha been kpt well up
plied with It In th present campaign.

BERLIN, Oct 1. It waa recently re
ported by cable that a son ot M. Del
casae, the French minister, had been
wounded and had fallen into th hands of
th Germane. A letter of a soldier at
the front tells how his capture occurred. !
Oa morning a German patrol ot three
men entered a village near th - river
MeuM to discover whether it waa oc
cupied by the French. They had hardly
entered a school hous when th leader,
' looking out of a window, saw a French
patrol of ten men coming down th vil
lage street. Taklu their positions at th
window th three Germans opened such
a hot fire upon th French party that
eight of them were killed before they
could mover from the coiifualoa caused
by this sudden attack. Tbo Germans war
surprised to find that the sublieutenant
th commander ot tb French patrol,
who fell wounded Into their hand, waa
tb son of Dtricass. Tb young man,
