THE MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON, N. C.; SATURDAY; AUGUST 10, 1918. THREE, WAR FAKIR POSED AS GREATEST HERO His Photograph In French Pa per Betrayed Him. Jf H1, oirn Story Were Tme the Ex ploits of DTima' XPArtagnan AVould Fade Into Comparative Insignificance. f Paris, July 5. (Correspondence of the Associated ncoo.; - nd hair-breadth escapes ofD'Ar- ploits e narrated by Dumas in The tagnan as Musketeers fade into compara- Three tive insignificance when compared with the achievements of Ben Ber trand. as told by himself. Minus an arm an.d a leg .with nine medals glit tering on his breast, and asserting that his body bore more than 30 bullet end bayonet wounds, "Private Rene Bertrand of the French colonel infan try," posed in Paris as the: greatest hero of the war. Xow he has been, arrested as per haps one of the war's greatest fakirs and the police authorities declare that he lost his leg and arm in e railway accident and that fve imprisonments instead of five citations compose his record. It was the .;p-ubli cation of Ber tram's nhotograph in a, French news paper that led to hs undoing. Meantime, while "reveling in the ifruits of his own romance, Bertrand pnioved the connaence 01 army 0111- cers ana tne creuu vA n7a.uin5 j. x io cafes. One famous and fearless avia tor made Private Bertrand his godson and "adopted him" for the balance of the war. The medals he wore included the cross of the legion of honor, the mili tary medal, the war cross with seven palms and five stars,, the British mili tary cross, the Belgian war cross, the colonial medal, medal of Morocco, and the medal for saving life, and the medal for wounds. In addition he wore the "fouragere" of the legion of honor. Where he got them has not been disclosed hut to account for them Ber trand constructed a .stqry of wonderful incidents. According to this tale he won the military medal by saving the lives of two officers and was himself w ounded in the Xhigh when surrounded bv natives -while fighting with the French territorial forces, in Morocco, in 1913. Then, according to his own story, Bertrand won the war cross in a pa trol exploit in the present war, when, after his companions were killed he captured a whole German cooking out fit at Laon. having killed most of the cooks. Next, fighting with the British on the Somme he won the . military cross by capturing 12 Germans single handed. Meantime he had been cap tured five times by the Germans but always managed to escape. In the next chapter of his biography Bertrand appears in the fight around Monastir on the Macedonian front, where he simultaneously operated four machine guns and- wreaked siich an awful havoc with the enemy that their attack was beaten .off. At the battle ef Monastir he -essayed to- resctie varr officer who lay wounded in No Man's Land was himself wounded In the ab domen. Despite his pain he dragged the officer back to safety and went out again to rescue a wounded nurse. In the fast trip his arm was shattered by a bullet and later was amputated. Next we find Bertrand a passenger on board a ship bound for France. The torpedo which hit the vessel shattered ene of Bertrand's legs. Calmly ampu tating it with his knife Bertrand.bound np the stump, dragged iimself-to the rail, threw himself overboard, paused long enough to rescue the captain and swam to a piece of drift wood where he lived for three days and three nights before being rescued by a Spanish vessel. For . this Bertrand Eaid he received the medal of the le gion of honor. Numerous (rtars and leaves of palms that Gertarnd wore upon his war cross had been acquired, according to his tale, by 12 distinct acts of heroism worthy of the coveted cross, but the details of these incidents have not yet been given to the public.
