WAR'S LITTLE HUMANITIES
| A CHIVALROUS GERMAN. "So many accusations of bad conduct, some only too well founded, have been brought against the Germans that it is a pleasure to bo able to record of one of them an act of humanity," writes the official "Eye-witness" attached to the headquarters staff of tho British army in Flanders. "During tlio engagement at Givcuchy one of our officers was partially buried by the parapet of a trench which had been blown in on top of him. A German officer wild saw; him. regardless of tho fact that lie himsolr was out in the open undir a' hail of bullets, stopped to dig him out, and give him brandy from his flask. To tlie great regret of these of our men who witnessed this deed of gallantry and self-saerifico, and deeply appreciated it, tho German was killed by a chance bullet."
