Battle-worn Tommy Atkins
Transfers Amiens Railway
Station Into Scene of
Gaiety.
DUBLIN, Sept. 17.
It eeenn rather a paradox to dj-Bcrlbo
the arrival of a tralnload of wounded
soldiers at a railway station as a scene
ef revelry, yet such Is tho account given
fcy tho special correspondent of the Free
man's Journal at Amiens under yester
day's date. Ho wrltes:-
A train of twenty carriages came In
loaded with COO Tommies. Sixty of them
tre wounded, sent down fromtho fierce
front between Mons and Charlerol. These
trerc not serious eases sufficient only to
put our men out of tho battle lino for n
ipcll bullet wounds nnd cuts on the legs
chiefly, swathed hands nnd splintered
flngrr., and gashes and rips In arms nnd
ahoiilders. Not one lind a face wound;
and every ono of theso boys was clam
orous to get back again In the thick of
the business. Tho station was hushed
nnd quiet until tho fateful train came In.
And -what happened? Why nothing more
or irss ti.an a gala performance In khaki.
Instead of a dismal cortege this Incoming
troop tialn presented a scene of sheer
revelry.
"Every carriage window was full of
brown. Jolly, dirty, shaggy faces faces
with week-old beards to them, but alight
Tilth quick, keen cheerful eyes. Hnt
were waved, songs wore sung, nnd from
the first carriage door which wns flung
open a Highlander hopped out, to tho
astonishment of the waiting crowd, and
ild a fllng-a fling with a limp to It It Is
true, but a Highland fling for nil that,
and most entertaining to the crowd. They
nould say very llttlo of the fighting savo
that It was fighting nnd no mistake, n
continuous roar of flame and fury, hard,
hot, thirsty work. Plenty to cat, though,
even thing splendidly managed, nnd not
a jingle man Jnck of them caring a Jot.
"The clamorous demand of nil theso
gay wounded was for a fag. Their com
missariat had been excellent, their grub
prime and coffee, but somehow In this
great world shattering war which wns
Just beginning and ringing Its gtim tale
of devastation ana aeain down tne nges,
somehow there had been a most deplor
able shortngo of cigarettes. A 'Wood
bine.' Nobody through the entire length
and breadth of tho Amiens long nrilvnl
platform had ever heard of a 'Woodbine';
but when, after much gesticulation and
dumb show, Tommy had made his mPan-f
In? plain, there nre showers of black,
punsent French cigarettes In tho yellow
wranrers nt his disposal.
"The fiaternlzlng was splendid, lm-'
menscly Jolly . A Blackburn Tommy,
after having shed hla Inst possible button,
produced a mouth oigan from somewhere
Inside of him. nnd played with the execu
tion of a master nt this revclrous busi
ness that familiar ditty, "We Won't Go
Home Till Morning." Thero wns a spcedy
and hilarious settlng-to, partners bowing
and scraping (In spite of limps and
tnlnges), and In a brnce of shakes the
British soldier and his brother across tho
water wore dancing a Jig with nil tho
abandon In It of Hampstond Heath on n
Bank Holiday."

How a German aviator gnlned control
of a falling aeroplane after his companion
had been killed Is described In a thrilling
letter tecclved by his father hero today.
It reads r
"Dear father: I nm lying here In a
beautiful Belgian castle slowly lccover
Ing from wounds which X thought would
kill me. On August 22 I made a flight
with I.lcutennnt J a splendid aviator,
and established the fact that thj enemy
wns advancing townid us. In tho region
of llcrtrix we camo Into heavy rain
clouds and had to descend to 3000 feet. As
we camo thiough tho clouds wo wero
seen nnd an entlro French division began
shooting at us. Lieutenant J. was hit In
tho abdomen. Our motor was put out of
commission. We were trying to voloplano
across a forest in the neighborhood, when
suddenly I felt tho machine give a Jump.
I turned round, ns 1 was sitting in front,
nnd found that a second bullet had hit
Lieutenant J. in the head and killed him.
"I loaned over tho back of tho seit nnd
managed to reach the steering npparatus
and bended down. A hall of shots whis
tled about me. I felt something hit me In
the forehead. Blood ran Into my eyes,
1 was faint. But determination prevailed
und I retained consciousness. Just ns wo
were near tlin ground a gust of wind hit
tho plane and turned my machine, over.
1 fell In tho midst of tho enemy, with
my dead companion. Tho 'red trousers'
wero coming from all directions, and 1
drew my pistol and Miot three French
soldiers. I felt a bayonet nt my breast
and g.ive myself up for dead, when an
ofllcer shouted:
" 'Let him live! He Is a brave soldier.'
"I was taken tn tho commanding gen
eral of tho 17th French Army Corps, who
questioned me, but. of course, got no In
formation. Ho said I would later bo sent
to I'm Is, but as I was weak from loss
of blood and seriously wounded I was
taken Into tho Held hospital and cared
for. The officers were very nlco to mo,
nnd when the French fell back I took
adnntage of the confusion to crawl un
der a bush, where I remained until our
tioops came."

Ofllco today that eight Gorman army

been sent East to repel the Russian at
tack In East Prussia, and to strengthen
the Austrian forces in Galicla, have been
withdrawn and nre being rushed to the

(This report contradicts yesterday's dis
patch that the Kaiser had gone to East
Prussia to tako personal charge of the
campaign there, leaving tho Gorman
armies In Franco to pursue defensive
tactics against the advancing allies.)
LONDON, Sept. 17.
Tho movement of eight German army
corps from East Prussia to the theatre
of war In France Is taken to mean that
tho Kalsor Intends to aim a final terrific
blow nt tho allies In an effort to crush
the opposition in France.
Such a aourse la directly opposite that
which yesterday was believed to be tho
German plan. The withdrawal of tho
320,000 soldiers In tho East can only re
sult In hastening the advance of the
Czar's troops toward Berlin.

Riffle became separated from his wlfo
three years ngo and since that time has

coming to Philadelphia.
Deputy Coroner Walden said today that
JIi. Mar Wnugh. proprietor of thu
houso at 2112 Arch street, told him Rlf- s

killed 52 years ngo today, the survivors
of tho Philadelphia brigade held their an

Tho gray-haired old men who were the
pick of flglUers In years gone by, while
somewhat slow of foot, spruced up for
today's reunion and marched as of old.
Many of the veterans who answered roll
call this day one year ago did not re
spond when their names wero called this
afternoon. As they grow fewer In num
bers each year their enthusiasm grows
stronger.
Many were the yarns told of the hap
penings of this memorable day 52 years

Wounded German officers who were
brought here today accuse tho Algerian
troops fighting with' the allies In France
with terrible atiocltles.
They charge that the French officers
are unable to tame the wild natures of
these African fighters, who delight In
torturing tho wounded and mutilating the
dead upon the battlefield.
One 'of the wounded German officers,
Lieutenant von Lenz, declares that Ger
many should make formal protest against
tho use of these savage Africans.
"They have been guilty of tho most
aggravated cruelties, some of which 1
witnessed." declared the German ofllcer.
"In other Instances I have learned from
tho lips of witnesses how barbarously
these Algerians act. One wounded Ger
man soldier had his eyes gouged out by
n Turco, who used his spurs for the
cruel operation.
"After one fight In which they had
participated tho Turcos went around
with their snbrcs cutting and slashing
the dead and wounded.
"There hnvo been numerous Instances
where headless German soldiers have
been found. The Turcos had decapitated
them, carrying oft the heads as trophies
of battle.
"Credit must bo given to theso Africans
ns fighters, though. They have no regard
for human life nnd have not the slightest
conception of fpar. Dut their traits are
the trnlts of savages and their chief de
light Is to inflict cruelty. God pity tho
countryside upon which theso wild
creatures are turned loose without restraint."

Describing the battle of Alcno fiom
Solssons, under date of September 15 In
tho afternoon, the correspondent of the
Chronicle says:
"Tho unending, terrific struggle lusted

The town of Sois.sons cannot ot be

ana rifle fire, while mar columns of smoko
mark sovoral points where houses nro
burning in tho centre of tho fighting
lines where the allied pontoon corps h.ive
been trying to keep tho bridges they sue-
vntu in constructing.
"Men from tho front tell mo that the
combat has been a veritable slaughter
and thnt the unceasing fire of tho last
four days puts any previous wurfaio
i-ijiiiiiicipiy in tne simile.
"Severn! ciosslngs wore effected Sun
day, but the German guns got the range
nnd compelled tho forces to withdraw
Last night, however, tho allies brought
up heavior guns and theso changed the
prospect. The Eiritlsh got a battery
across the jlver and the Germans wero
unable to reach It. The Germans there
fore moved to another position from
which they compelled tho Riitlsh to re
tire nnd Icavo six guns behind. German
batteries hitherto not dlscerniblo weio
revealed, but under the protection of a
heavy bombardment two BritlMli batteries
got over and. planted at tho bridgo head,
very soon recoveied the six guns and the
two German batteries weio captured.
"On tho western side the Fiench suc
ceeded In getting over three batteries and
a regiment of Infantry. About 1500 pi Is-'
oners have been taken today.
"I can clearly trace thn abandonment
during the last thiee hours, of a number
of German positions by the smoke of
their guns moving further over the hills. '

NEW YORK, Sept 17.-James A. Wake
field, of Pittsburgh, who arrived hera
yesterday from London by the Atlantlo
Transport steamship Menominee, saw
part of tho battle of Mons, It cost him
JI00; laBted eight hours, and the lght,
he said, was worth the money.
Mr. Wakefield was In Valenclennea
when the Germans began to throw their
heaviest forces against th Frenoh and
Belglann, and tho longer ho stayed away
from the lino of battle the more h
longed to see it On August 21 ha met
a captain of French artillery and ex
pressed his desire to Beo a real battle.
Tho captain, whose name was Antord,
said ho thought It could be arranced,
but that it would cost about tlOO if a.
party of a dozen could be procured.
Mr. Wakefield told thin to soma of hla
friends, and later Informed Captain An
tord that a party of eight was ready.
Tho money was subscribed, and at
P. m. on August 24 Mr. Wakefield and
soven other Americans were brought to
a placo within three miles of the battla
of Mons. They were carried in two spring
wagons, and, having the necessary passes
through the lines, were not molested in
their Journey.
"We could not see a great deal," said
5I,.,VakcncId' "but we couId hear plenty
of tiring. Wo htayed on the scene unUl
la. m. on August 26, when firing began In
the rear, and we decided to go back. W
J-aw SS2 wounded and 32 dead soldiers
brought out of tho fight in British auto
mobiles. The cars were stripped ot their
bodies and boards were built out over
the chassis bo that each car could carry
T,mc?' AI1 ere taken to Amiens."
H. C. Bell, of Brunswick, Me., said he
had collected a number of French and
German bullets on tho way from Baden
Baden to Pails, and asserted that the
Prench missiles were the more humane
"The Germans have accused the French
of shooting poisoned bullets,'- he said
"but this Is not so. They contended that
blue bands around the bullets wera
poison bands. Tho French bullets are cop
per Jacketed, arc well balanced, and when
they hit a man they mako a clean, small
wound.
"German bullets are steel jacketed, and
am so balanced that when they hit they
turn up perpendicularly -.nd cause a bli
and bad wound."
