HAVRE, Franco, Sept. 17. It Is jirob
,I)lo Hint the dotalls of the wonderful and
darlntf endurance of the troops of the
lilies' forces In the picscnt campaign will

In tlio villages mid towns around which
cur men aro battling for tho freedom of
Ilurop'
Mont of the reclmcnts will be able to

many hlitorlc nghts", but hardly any will
te able tti hand down such stories ia the
S'cond Uroiroon Guards and tho Qucon's
BajM will ttatistnlt to tliclr futuro recruits-
Hem Is the story that wan told to me
by l'rlwUe Jtryiint no he lay wounded in
the hospital ship:
T don't Just remember the date. 'Wo
hJe not lind time to tlilnU of dates lately.
Cut It was Just over a work ngo. Wo
weie somewhero In the nclBhborhood of
St. (Jiienlln. W'c had been lighting all
day We had picketed and watered our
horses and late that night thought we
bad seen tho lafct of tho Germans for a
time
"In the morning, however, tho Colonel
gau- orders to-saddle. AVo jumped on
our horses, and at tho snmo moment
elicits began to burst overhend. Our
hoi ses stampeded. The oncmy'3 shatp
nhuoters rro already In position, and
tthlle we were locapturliiB our liorses
riirapnel, canister shots mid bullets, were
maMnB llie air sins arounu us.
FiKi,r AnTiJjiii:nr is delayed.
"The German artillery nre Increased In
Intensity. Wo began to wait anxiously
for our own Itoyal Field Artillery to Ret
Into position. It was delayed by tho fact
that tho battery horses woro being wa
tered. "Something had to be done, so wo got
the Maxims up, despite the wltherlnR
lire. Our boys soon got busy. It would
have clone you good to seo how calmly
nd quietly they went about their work
"Our men realized the meaning of their
Job. It was to hold on until the artillery
came up. In other words. It was to save
the regiment from Annihilation. Within
a few minutes they were sanding somo
MOO shots In so many seconds among the
Germans.
"Then the artillery arrived. Wo had
four guns against 11 for the Germans,
but som" of those 11 wore silenced.
"It was not long beforo tho nays were
Itching to aharge. Almost before thoy
expected it the bugle sounded and thoy
v.ere off, 'hell for leather,' at the enemy's
suns.
"The net result of that little scrap was
the rapture of 11 Krupp guns and many
prisoners.
Unfortunately. Bryant was left woundod i alhlet and the best Ilugby tlirno-quartor,
on the field and was mado a prisoner
by the Germans. Ho lived for ftvo days
on bread and water, all that the Germans
would supply blm. On tho fifth day a
detachment of French cavalry arrived,
rescued tho prisoners and captured tho
German troopors who were guarding
them.
"The Britishers were taken to Foronno,
whi-re they were oared for by the
French."
BMT1SII BATTERY WIPED OUT.
Bryant told mo that In the action of
Et. Quentln of an entire British battery
ngaged but 17 men were left alive.
Gaston Bossier, a private in the Sixth
Cuirassiers, who is known In civil life
Darino, n lyric artist at the Comedio
Fnncalso and a favorite of the Parlsl
ennes, tells tho following story, which
seems almost un pclipso of the blowing
up of the Delhi Gates.

"We wore together, the Cuirahslers of
France and tho English Royal Engineers,
s tie retreated acioss the Alsno at Rols
sona. The Germans advanced rapidly,
trlng to rush masses of soldiers across.
"Bridge after bridge had to be blown
up. The German sharpshooteis were
firing at us from a clump of trees and the
mitrailleuses wero woiklng havoc among
Die a'lies.
"Suddenly a 'party of English engineers
rushed toward tho bridge. They lost
heavily, but succeeded In landing powder
yjfflclent to destroy It. Beforo they could
Wit it all of them were killed. We waited
while another party of your brave engi
neers crept near the bridge. They took
to cover, but the Germans got their raugo
nd continued a deadly fire.

Tho French papers are recalling an In
teresting reply which General Pan made
a year ago, xvhen his admirers proposeu
to present him a sword of honor upon the
occasion of his giving up command of the
20th Army Corps.
"I certainly should not accept the sword
of honor that you and other well-meaning
patriots think of giving me," ho said,
'Such a recompense must be reserved
for the man who shall lead our victori
ous armies beyond Metz and Strassburg,
beyond the Rhine, Into the very heart of
tho German Empire As for me, modest
worker In times of peace, enemy to pub
licity and popularity, It Is sufficient that
I have the confidence of those who have
served under my orders, and tho suffrages
of good people such as you."
At tho village of Lotirchcs, In northern
France, a wounded French sergeant, out
raged by German brutnllty, shot a Prus
sian oillcer. Beforo being shot ho was
Riven water by a dauntless tad, Emllo
Despres, who thereupon was also con
demned to Immediate execution. Just ns
tho soldiers were 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 nsked for wntcr, you'll glvo hltn lead,"
After a moment's hesitation tho boy
ngrecd, to the horror of his comrades.
Seizing ti ride, ho aimed tit the sergeant's
breast. Then, suddenly turning, ho blow
o hole through tho sneering German. He
wns hacked to pieces with bayonets.
1a Preszo publishes on Interview with
the prlvato soldier Turcot, who with his
comrade, Broussard, captured the first
German ling. Ho is now In the hospital
at Mortnrgls, slightly wounded In tho
back by a spent bullet. Turcot tells a
very modest story. Ho aaya ho lost his
regiment wandering In a wood, when ha
saw it wounded German standard bearer
trjlng to hide his flag. Calling a com
rade, Turcot attacked tho German and
seized tho Hag. Then came tho hardest
part, tho withdrawal carrying tho trophy
amidst a storm of bullots. His knapsack
was pierced ten times and his rlllo broken
In his hands.
A correspondent writes that between
Chateau do Casteau and Ixibbes.-a par
ticularly desolated neighborhood, from
whence tho Inhabitants had fled, tho
Germans found a hungry canity In an
abandoned farmhouse. Without having
experienced the genuine, almost womanly,
tenderness of tho Gorman soldiers, ono
would have called their feeding of the
canary an affectation, or at best a pass
ing whim, but It was typical.
A story has reached Paris of tho coura
geous action of Mme. JIachcrez, of Sols
sons. When the Germans arrived there
they demanded to seo tho Mayor, who
was absent. None of the officials re
sponded to the call, whereupon Mme.
Jlachcrez went to tho Germans and said:
"There is no Mayor hero, but I answer
for every one and everything as you will
haw to do if depredations aro com
mitted." After disputing the requisitions and the
conditions of the Germans, the coura
geous woman saved Solssons on easy
terms.
Alan Bott, writing to the London
Chronicle from Bordeaux, says: "French
athletes havo been distinguishing them
selves on the fighting lln. Two days
ago a notice appeared In tho official ga
zette that a corporal named Georges
Andro had been piomoted to sergeant
beforo 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
Premier recently alluded as an all-around
and who was second In tho London Olym
pic games. From tnquliies It Is lenrned
that this is Indeed tho case, and follow
ing is the story of how Andrea, who Is
with tho French army In Lorraine, won
his honors:
"With six men ho went Into a village to
find rooms for tho officers. In tho market
placo was a large band of Germans, who
Immediately set upon tho small detach
ment. Andre snatched a sabre from the
German nearest him and killed two men
with It. By this time ho saw that his
companions wero dead or captured, He
grabbed tho flag from n. German, and
putting It under his arm he raced through
tho vlllago street as though attempting
a try In Rugby football, a number of
Germans following nthls heels. After
sprinting a uuartcr of a mile he left his
pursuers behind, and later ho rejoined
his regiment with the flag. Some days
previously ho wrote to a sportsman
friend! 'This Is hell. We oro lying In
trenches under the German artillery fire,
but are not allowed to reply. Tills Is
tho only time I find to write my cor
respondence.' "
The following from a brigadier of dra
goons Is a specimen of a certain class
of totters that havo begun to arrive In
Paris:
"My Dear Paronts If you receive, this
letter It will be because I have been
killed, but don't weep for me, slnco my
fato wlU havo been tho noblest a .French
man can dream of, to die for his country
on the eve of Victory. Wo shall be tho
victors because wo have right and confi
dence on our side. I shall havo dono my
duty to the end, and t hope my death
will have been useful to my country. My
last thoughts will be for you."
With this letter thcro came another
from the cure of a little Belgian village
giving the details of the death of the
son. "
During an nnlmatcd discussion among
several Englishmen In London as to tho
possibilities of whipping Germany, ono
man sat quietly for some time. He finally
said: "I suppose we'll give them Home
Rule, tho samo ns wo did the Boers."
There are now five beds for woundod
soldiers In the room of the Belgian Royal
Palaco usually occupied by the Kaiser
on his visits to King Albert.
A story Is told In Brussels of n. bit of
"Yankoo" genius. When the Germans
reached thcro they entered tho cattte
market to buy up everything In sight
and found tho entire market had been
bought up, not by the energetic burgo
master, but (so the story goes) by tho
American Ambassador.
The corner In beef waa complete and
the officers went away empty.
Cardinal Amlette, archbishop of Paris,
at tho special prayer services yestorday
In the Cathedral of Notre Dame, an
nounced that he proposed to raise a
tcmplo In Paris In honor of Joan of Aro.
Ho said that to her was du, for tho
second time, her country's deliverance
from a foreign foe.
A story is published to the effect that
on the very day when the Germans
reached Complcgne, thoso who had the
seelctlon of tho French soldiers' pass
word, choso tho words "Jeanne d'Arc."
On the following day the Germans left
the place.
An Amsterdam dispatch says that tho
Berliner Tageblatt complains bitterly that
tho size of tho rye loaf which usually
costs 12 cents Is growing smaller and
that bakers all over Germany aro re
ducing the weight of the Indlspensablo
vhlte roll. Tho ordinary rye bread of
ho working classes is now more than
I cents -a pound' and tho tendency Is ever
upward.
Harry Lauder's songs have been heard
on European battlefields. The Black
Watch, tho famous regiment of High
landers, sang them as tho Gorman shells
burst over their heads and bullets
whistled about their ears. A corporal
and. two privates arriving hero wounded
told of the fighting and singing.
"The Germans wore ns thick as the
Hlelun heather," said the corporal. "Wo
stuck there poppln' oft the Germans, an'
In the thick o't a' wo were slngln' Harry
Lauder's latest. It was grnn.' A aboot
us wero tho dead an' deeln," an' every noo
and then Germaij shells hurst. As we
peppered away we sang 'Roamln' In the
Gloamln' ' an' 'The Lass of Kllllecrankl '
JIany a sang nboot the lassies we sang."

Belgian Government Inves
tigates Alleged Misuse of
Funds and Use of Inferior
Materials.
ANTWERP, Sept. 17.
Graft, and not the bravery of thu Ger
mans nor the power of their siege guns,
was responsible for the quick fnll of the
forts nt Namur. And this also. It Is
stated, was responsible for tho collapse
of the defense at Llese, notwithstand
ing tho fact that the Liege works held
outout longer than those at Namur.
It wuh learned today that the Govern
ment has been conducting un Investiga
tion ever since the Mons torts fell. It Is
found that while the defensive works
were being built millions of dollars were
deflected from their proper channels into
the pockets o( contractors and dishonest
Government officials.
The plans for the forts were drawn by
General Rrlalmont, of the Belgian army,
one of tho foremost military engineers In
Europo, but the materials which went
Into the battlements were far below the
specifications in many Instances. No fault
was found with the plans.
H Is agreed that the fortresses were
built upon the strongest positions that
they could find. The Belgian ordnance
also Is beyond criticism, but steel and
concrete and stone work wore of poor
quality. At Namur It was found that
the conciote supporting one steel turret
was so poor In quality that a single Ger
man shell demolished It.
It Is further alleged that the bulldors
had not constructed all of the work
which General Rrialmont'a plans specified.
