TABLE OF DEATH
GRIM DISCOVERY. A grim discovery has been made in the villiage of Chevregny, Aisne, which formed part of the German front for many years during the war. While cleaning a cellar near his house a peasant came across an underground corridor, which led to a wartime German dug-out. In the dug out were the bodies of 50 German soldiers. Some were sitting at a table, and others were lying on rough beds. Their rifles were hanging on the walk. It is believed that these soldiers were asphyxiated by a gas shell.
