"The German artillery fire Increased In
Intensity. We began to wait anxiously
for our own Royal Field Artillery to get
Into position, It was delayed by the fact
that the battery horses were being wn-
"Somethlng had to bo done, so we got
the Maxims up, despite the withering

have done ou good to seo how calmly
and qulctlv they went about their work.
"Our men realized the meaning of their
Job. It was to hold on until the artillery
time up In other words. It was to save
th regiment from annihilation. Within
i few minutes they were sending soma
KM shots In so many seconds nmong the
Germans. '
"Then the aitlllery arrived. We had
four guns against 11 for the Germans,
tut some of those 11 were silenced.
"It was not long before the Bays were
Itching to charge. Almost before they
iipected it the bugle sounded nnd they
were off, 'hell for leather," at the enemy s
runs.
'The net result of that little scrap was
the capture of 11 ICrupp guns and many
prisoners "
Unfortunately, Bryant was left wounded
on the field and was made a prisoner
by the Germans. He lived for five davs
on bread and water, all that the Germans
would supply him. On the fifth day a

ROMANCE, TRAGEDY AND COMEDY
IN THE THEATRE OF WAR
The French papers are recalling nn In
teresting reply which General Pnu made
n year ago, when his ndmlrcta proposed
to present him a sword of honor Upon the
occnslon of his giving up command of the
20th Army Corps.
"I certainly should not accept tho sword
of honor that you and other well. mean
ing patriots think of giving me," he said.
"Such a recompenso must be reserved
for the man who shall lead our victori
ous nrmlep beyond MeU nnd Strassburg,
beyond tho Tthtne, Into the very heart of
tho German Rmplro. As for me, modest
worker In times of peace, enemy to pub
licity and popularity, it Is sufficient that
I have tho confidence ot those who havo
served under my orders, and the suffrages
of good people such ns you."
At the Hinge of Lourches, In northern
France, a wounded French sergenht, out
raged by German brutality, shot a PrUs
slnn ofllcrr, Before being shot be was
given water by a dauntless lad, Emllc
Desprcs, who thereupon was also con
demned tn Immediate execution. Just as
thu soldiers wore bandaging the boy's
eyes preparatory to firing tho German
captain, with a cruel smile, cried cynic
ally, "I give you life on condition that
you act as executioner of this sergeant,
He naked for water, you'll give him lead."
After a moment's hesitation the boy
agreed, to tho horror of his comrades.
Seizing n rlrlc, ho aimed nt tho sergeant's
breast. Then, suddenly turning, ho blew
a hole through the sneering German. He
waa hacked to pieces with bayonets.
La I'reszo publishes an Interview with
the private soldier Turcot, who with his
comrade, Broussard, captured tho first
Oermnn ring. He Is now In tho hospital
at Mortargls, slightly wounded In tho
back by n spent bullet Turcot tells a
very modest story. He says ho lost his
regiment wandering In a wood, when he
saw a wounded German standard bearer
trying to hide his flng. Calling a com
rade, Turcot nttacked 'the German nnd
seized the flng. Then enme the hardest
p.irt, tho withdrawn! carrying the trophy
amidst a storm of bullets. Ills knapsack
was pierced ten times and his rifle broken
in his hands,
A correspondent writes that between

ticularly desolated neighborhood, from
whence the Inhabitants had Uled tho
Germans found a hungry canary In an
abandoned farmhouse. Without having
experienced tho genuine, nlmost womnnly.
tenderness of tho Gormnn soldiers, ono
would havo cnlled their feeding of the
canary nn affoctntlon, or at best a pass
ing ji-hlm, but It was typical.
A story hns reached Pat Is of tho coura
geous nctlon of Mme. Macheroz, of Sols
sonB. When the Gormnna arrived there
they demnnded to see the Mayor, who
was absent. Nono of tho ofllclais re
sponded to the call, whereupon Mme.
Mncherez went to tho Germans and said:
"There In no Mayor here, but I answer
for every one and everything ns you will
have to do if depredations are com
mitted." After disputing the requisitions and the
conditions of the Gcrmnns, tho coura
geous woman saved Solssons on easy
terms.
Alan Bntt, writing to the London
Chronicle from Botdeaux, says: "French
athletes have been distinguishing them
selves on tho fighting line. Two days
ngo a notice appeared In the official ga
zette that a corporal named Georges
Andre had been promoted to sergeant
before members of his regiment and rec
ommended for a military medal. Tho
paper suggested that this might lefer
to Georges Andrea, to whom the French
Piemler recently alluded as nn all-around
athlete and the best Rugby three-quarter,
and who was second In tho London Olym
pic games. From Inquiries It Is learned
that this Is indeed the case, nnd follow
ing Is the story of how Andrea, who is
with the French nrmy In Lorraine, won
his honors:
"With six men he went Into a village to
find rooms for the officers. In tho market
place was a large band of Germans, who
Immediately set upon the small detach
ment. Andre snatched a sabro from the
German nearest him and killed two men
with It. By this lime ho saw that his
companions were doad or captured. Ho
grabbed the flag from n, German, nnd
putting It under his arm ho raced through
tho vlllago street as though attempting
a try In Ttugby football, a number of
Germans following nt his heels. After
sprinting a quarter of n mile he left his
pursuers behind, and later he rejoined
his regiment with the flag, Borne days
previously he wrote to a sportsman
friend: 'This Is hell. Wn nro lying In
trenches under the German artillery flre,
but are not allowed to .reply. This Is
tho only time I find to write my cor
respondence.' "
Tho following from a brigadier of dra
goons Is a Bpoclmen of a cortaln class
of letters that have begun to arrlvo In
Paris:
"My Dear Parents If you receive this
letter It will be because I have been
killed, but don't weep for me, since my
fate will have been tho noblest n french
man can drenm of, to die for his country
on the eve of victory. Wo shall be tho
victors because we have right and confi
dence on our sldo. I shall have done my
duly to the end, nnd 1 hope my death
will have been useful to my country. My
last thoughts will be for you."
With this letter thcro camo another
from the cure of a little Belgian village
giving tho details of tho death of the
son.
During nn animated discussion among
several Englishmen In London as to the
possibilities of whipping Germany, ono
man sat quietly for some time. Ho finally
snld: "I suppose we'll give them Home
Rule, the same ns we did the Boors."
There are now five bcdB for wounded
soldiers In the room of tho Belgian Boyal
Palace usually occupied by the Kaiser
on his visits to King Albert.
A story Is told In Brussels of n bit of
"Yankee" genius. When tho Germans
reached there they entered the cattle
market to buy up everything In sight
nnd found the entire market hnd been
bought up, not by the energetic burgo
master, hut (so the story goes) by the
American Ambassador.
Tho corner In beef was complete nnd
the officers went away empty.
Cardinal Amlotte, nrchblshop of Paris,
nt tho special prayer services yesterday
In the Cnthedial of N'otro , Dame, an
nounced that he proposed to raise a
temple In Paris In honor of Joan of Arc.
He said that to her was due, for the
second time, her countiy's deliverance
from n foreign foe.
A story is published to the effect that
on the very day when the Germans
reached Complegne. those who had the
seelrtlon of :ho French soldiers pass
word, chose the words "Jeanne d'Arc."
On the following day the Germans left
the place.
An Amsterdam dispatch Fays that the
Berliner Tngeblntt complains bitterly that
the size of the rye loaf which usually
costs 12 cents Is growing smaller and
that bakers nil over Germany aie re

he working classes Is now more than
4 cents a pound nnd the tendency Is ever
upward. '
Harry Lauder's songs havo been heard
on European battlefields. The Black
Watch, the famous regiment of High
landers, sang them ns the German shells
burst over their heads and bullets
whistled about their ears. A corporal
and two privates arriving here wounded
told of the fighting and singing.
"The Germans wetc ns thick ns the

FALL OF LIEGE FORTS
BLAMED ON GRAFT
AMONG BUILDERS
Belgian Government Inves
tigates Alleged Misuse of
Funds and Use of Inferior
Materials.
ANTWERP, Bept. 17.
Graft, and not the bravery of tho Ger
mans nor the power of their siege guns,
was responsible for the quick fall of the
forts at Namur. And this also. It Is
stated, was responsible for tho collapse
of the defense at Liege, notwithstand
ing the fact that the Liege works held
outout longer than those nt Namur.
It was learned today that the Govern
ment has been conducting an Investiga
tion evor since the Mons forts fell. It Is
found that while the defensive works
were being built millions of dollars were
deflected from their proper channels Into
the pockets of contractors and dishonest
Government officials.
The plans for the forts were drawn by
General Brlalmont, of the Belgian army,
one of tho foremost military engineers In
Europe, but the materials which went
Into tho battlements were far below the
specifications In many instanced. No fault
was found with the plans.
It Is agreed that the fortresses were
built upon the strongest positions that
they could find. The Belgian ordnance
also U beyond criticism, but steel and
concrete and atone work were of poor
quality. At Namur It was found that
the concrete supporting one steel turret
was so poor in quality that a single Ger
man shell demolished It.
It Is fuither alleged that the builders
had not constructed all of the work
which General Rrlalmont's plans specified.
