THE FIERCEST FIGHTERS.
"MORE LIKE PANTHERS."
TURCOS AND SENEGALESE
(Press Assn. —Reed. 7 p.m.)
LONDON, Sept. 21
Captain Harding Davis describes the Turcos and Senegalese as the fiercest fighters of all.
In the trenches taken from the German Guards and Death's Head Hussars, the Germans showed no bullet wounds, their assailants using only the butts of their rifles and their
bayonets
Man lor man, no white, drugged with years of meat and alcohol, is a physical match for these Turcos, fed oh dates and Avater. They are lean, starved wolves, and move like panthers,, all muscle and nerves. The French commanders almost invariably use them to lead the charges.
