PARIS. . Dec. 15. i3o far as known, a
party of lid French soldiers who failed
to hear tha order to retreat during; the
fighting In tha forests of tha Belgian
Luxembourg as fai back as August 2S,
are still roaming- about from one hiding
place to , another In 1 th woods resisting;
fhe enemy. This sur passe tha record
of the 12th company of tha UOth French
infantry, which . recently passed fifty
eight days within the enemy's line.
The. present ' party has now bean cut
off from th French, lines for nearly four
months. It is a motley force made up
of straggtars, who, Instead of surrender
ing' when they found the Teturn to their
lines blocked by the Germans, escaped,
to. tha woods and lived oft tb country I
as Beat tney couitt. picking up ammuni
tion from the battlefields at night Aided
in this by women and children, , it Is
aid, they got together 17,000 cartridges
which they deposited in various caverns
for safety. For shelter they built huts
and fuf trenches, from which they fre
quently .emerged to harass tha Germans.
Beat. the Entire Area. V
The latter finally decided to beat the
ent)re forest country of about SJbOO acres.
Column of 1,000 men- took part in the
hunt, but were unable ' to discover the
htdlnk place of the stragglers. Despair
ing of skiooeedlng by any 'other means,
they reeorted to persuasion and posted
tha following notice In tha -village) tn
the south, of . Namur and Luxembourg::
French- Soldiers: We- know wbere . you
are and the strength of your foroe. In
your Interest It will be bettor that you
surrender and we promise In that ase
that you shall be accorded the honors ot
war. You must know, however, that you
expose the population ot tha country to
reprlBai: we have lorhldden all farmer,
all miller) and all -peasants to f urnlali
you with provisions and In case of In
fraction they shall be shot., ' ,
.The folloj-rtng morning another notice
was posted In Beau rain.' signed by the
officer commanding the French detach.-
mant: "Sine you know so well whepe
we nxe, com and take us," ,
Tha German have not yet reported
taking them, howerver,- and they are sup
posed to be still rambling from forest

Who Owns Bullets .
: War Victims Carry ;
Abound in Bodies
.... .. . 1 ' , '. .- :
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
BERLIN. Jan. fc Th . question, to
whom does th projectile In th body of
a wounded soldier belong. Is discussed
gravely bg. Court Assessor Langa In th
German Juristic Magaxtn with q ar
ticle declaring the ownership ot such
missile to reside In ths state. -
A bullet, he says, is not an ownerless
tibject "The soldier who sends it on Its
way does not thus surrender" his state's
ownership ot It. His object la merely to
do as much , damage- as h can. and It
must be assumed that h intend to r
obt&la possession of th tnlssU thereafter
for recasting or other possible us. If.
however,. It be assumed that th state
originally owning th projectll gives up
It ownership by. tiring It 'away. It does
not even then belong to the man un
lucky enough to get In its way, but to hla
state, under international Taw and th
law of prises of war. "Th wounded
man possess the missile only aa the
representative of tbe state of which he is
a subject." writes Ifarr Lang. '
The question of bullet ownership ap
pear to have arisen first In a Bulgarian
hospital during the Balkan wars in 191S.
A quarrel arose between a wounded sol
dier and a suraeoa. both of whom laid
clartn to an extracted bullet. Kerr Ilach-
eaberger, well known Gorman Jurist,
considered the subject -Exhaustively at
th lme. but althout .coming to a defi
nite conclusion, xcept Insofar as to de
cide that the missile did not, in any case;
belong to Uis surgeon. . Professors
Franks and Ziltelinana, also noted ter
man jurists, considered ths subject In th
following year. Both reached the con
cluolon that the projectile belonged to
the soldier. - . '

Lower Auto Prices
'Leads to Danger of

.-. . - t ' .' '
The most vital development of the last
year la tbe automobile Industry, so far
as th public . ia concerned 1 th very
material reduction In price t, .
'The reason tor the reductions is In
large part due to the decreased cost of
material and th introduction of im-
provedu and Iabor-avtng machinery, to
SZrirUS S
tomoblle Industry, still in it Infancy, Is
showing the. beneficial effeot of expert -
nee to a very marked dgree.
"The transition to lower prices has.
however, raised a danger signal that the
buyer should not fall to heed v alertly,"
says L B. Noyes of the Klsaol Motor
Car company.! "This lies in th tendency
en the pert of some manufacturers to
cheapen their product In order tp list It
at a figure below those competitors who
have gone as far In price reduction as
at business method and maistena.no
of quality will allow. Names mean lea
this year than ever bore, , and It bv
hoove th prudent purchaser tq exam
ine closely th mechanical merits of a
car, regard leas ot Ha trad 'mark and
previous reputation.' ' " . ' . " ,

British moerg mind was whether th

artillery fire, to which they never .had
been subj4cted In the frontier wars. This
has been -tuiswered In th affirmative,
and they have proved as steady under
shrapnel fire aa th best of their white
comrades In arm. Not only this.' but
j th commanders of ths allied armies aver
i that they show dash and fearlessness to
a remarkable degre and have, on many
qcaslons, displayed great Initiative tin
der tha most difficult circumstances.
vThe civilian population makes much
of them when th opportunity arises, but
their dlscrptfn ! strict smd this, added .
to th difficultly of language, prevents '
any possibility of their becoming spoiled,

the civilian poor showar of presents'
