LONDON, Sept. 22.
This grim story of n llrltlsh bayonet
charge In which the Oct mans were routed
was related by a wounded soldier Just
back fiom northern France:
"They can stnnd nre, can those Ger
mans. Wv were picking thorn orf like
winking, and still they came on.
"Then, when they got within shouting
distance, we received tho word to charge.
Our officer was a sprinter, but we were
out of the trench nnd heeling after him,
nil of us shouting.
"The Germans seemed struck. They
Just sfood and gaped as we enme chas
ing down, their mouths wide open, ns
If they v.eie wondering what the bla7.ru
wo wero up to.
"When e were within 20 or SO yards
of them there was an alteration. They
knew then what we wanted, and they
just threw down their t tiles, turned about
and set the pace. Some of thein, as they
went, chucked off their packs, nnd a fov
even tried to pull off their tunics.
"Hut we had 'em! 1 never know t
could run bcfoic, nor the other ihnps,
and we pinked the 'blighters' In the back
bv the score.
"When we got winded we cntne back
the same way, and it was so; they were
lying on their faces, bayoneted In the
back."
A lance corporal of the Connaught
Hangers said:
"The disconcerting thing In battles now
adays Is that you muy be lighting for
hours on end and neer as much as
' an enemy to granule with.
"The way the Germans sacrifice their
men for the sake of making an Impression
Is appalling. One position on our left
from which we would have fallen back
In any case, because It was dominated by
a battery which we couldn't locate, was
ndvanccd against by tht German Infantry
under a heavy tire. They camo on in one
long never-ending stream, while our rifle
and gun fire tore hideous caps through
their ranks.
"The Red Cio""? men say that in fmnt
of that position alone 1 d,id nnd
wounded worn picked up after the fight
was over. Our loss was not moie than
20 of all ranks.
"What we are all wondering Is how
long the Germans can keep up this sort
of thing. 1 havo seen our cavalry thrown
into confusion merely because the horses
shied at the !nps of dead bodies they
had to tread over when attempts wero
made to clear our front of the advancing
iiermans.
Sergeant
in a letter
"Wo'ro wonderful'y cheerful, and
happy as bare-legged urchins scamper
ing over the fields. Not that there's
much play for us. It's all work, fight
ing nnd fighting and -working again,
though you mustn't think I'm grum
bling, for I'm not.
"I am writing to you with the enemy's
shells bursting nnd screaming overhead.
Though their artillery has been making
a fiendish row all along our front.
"It's the quantity not th quality of
the Gcrmnn shells that are having ef
fect on us, and It's not so much the
actual damage to life ns the nerve
racking noise that counts for so much.
Townsmen who are used to the noise
of the streets can stand It a lot bettit
than the countrymen, and I think you
will find that by far the fittest men are
those of regiments recruited In the big
cities.

COPENHAnn.V, Sept. 22.
A young Kiigllshman who hns Just ar
llved here from liast Prussia, tells of the
terrible scenes that followed tho "Russian
axnlancho" that was so vlgoiously precipi
tated on the part of the Ocrmnti Empire.
He was the Inst Englishman to pass
through Konlgsbcrg before Its lncstment
by the Czar's troop, nnd he nnd some
rich Itusslnn lcfugces who havo also
reached Copenhagen, speak of the dreadful
scenes on tho German side of tho frontier
of every town they passed being choked
with wounded brought In from the battle
field, of fenrful suffering among tho Rus
sian peasantry, and of the harsh treat
ment thown to forclgnets by German vll
luijers, who spat upon and stoned their
enemies In the streets.
"The railway line," he said, "was thick
with transport trains filled with wounded.
They were huddled together, and some .'f
them were hanging out of .the windows
gasping for fresh air. At most of the big
stations In East Trussla nuises nnd doc
tors were Waiting on tho platfoim to nr
rnnge the bandages of the wounded Ger
mans. W'e passed thiougti towns of ter
rified inhabitants, and the wounded were
everywhere. The less severely hurt wero
conveyed back us near ns posslblo to tho
central patt of the rnuntry, m as to make
room for the urgent "cases that could not
be removed.
"In some towns Englishmen, french
men and Ilutaians wero very haishly
treated, especially by subordinate offi
cials. Disgusting remaiks weie hurled
at them by tho Germans. Sometimes
they were openly assaulted, and this 111
tecllng becume Inteusllled as the Husslan
army ndvunced. As a result tho Rus
sian refugees Med In terror and the Eng
lish there were alw treated with con
tinual Ignominy and Insult.
'At Stettin. however, the feeling
tounid foreigners was exceedingly good.
Theie mo. It Is said, about S0O0 Russian
refugees there and these nre without any
mean" wbnti ver.
I should like It stated." this English
man adds. ' that the official in chargo
of these Ru-islau peasants and harvesters
Is one of the most kind-hearted men I
liae ever met. A Kusstun girl, obviously
of very good family, was brought to
Stettin and reported that she had been
subjected to very cruel treatment on the
railway She was absolutely penniless,
and this German official took her Into his
home and gave her food and shelter."
The "highest" man (so German papers
sa) to enlist In the German army was
the mountain guide, Glntz, stationed at
the .ugspltzc In southern Bavaria, 9725
feet above tho sen, who, when the sum
mons to Join his regiment enme to him,
telephoned: "Is schon rccht, I Klmtn

M. Mlthouid, president of the Munici
pal Council of Paris, relates the follow
ing cxtrnotdlnary Incident:
He has Just returned from a visit to
the scene of fighting along the River
Mame, which he struck at llontccau,
near Sezanne. Ho found tho remarlcablo
sight of the body of a dead bullock ur
rounded by 18 dend Germans. A local
Inhabitant who witnessed the affair told
M. Mlthourd that when tho enemy ap
proached the peasants opened the stalls
wide to euablo their cattle to escape.
The bull, frightened at tho first gun
shots, ran snorting through the village
to a neighboring hillock, where n num
ber of German soldiers wero taking their
position.
The discharge of their guns added to
the animal's fury nnd ho charged with
his horns leveled Into tho midst of tho
Germans, goring them to right nnd left.
He actually killed 18 of them before ho
himself was killed by rllle shots.
A private of the British Black Watch,
following the chargo nt the battle of
Mons, opened the tin of Jam he had been
carrying on his back and found a Ger
man bullet In It. "This must have got
In when I ducked to a volley," ho ex
plained. "There was no tlmo to dig
trenches."
A star on the championship regimental
Rugby team In the army, who fought at
Mons, wrote to n friend: "1 want a few
more Sundays like Brock's benefit out
side Mons. It was better than any Rugby
gamo I ever played In."
"The disconcerting thing In the present
fighting with modern weapons la that you
may be In nctlon for hours without see
ing the enemy," said a BrltlBh corporal.
"One day we lay for ten hours In the
trenches with shells dropping about ub
ilko rain. We could see puffs of smoke
nlong the horizon and hear the constant
roar of the guns, but that was all. Only
when you got a bullet In the arm or leg
did you realize that, you were really In
a battle. Though wo were under flro
constantly. It was threo whole days be
fore we actually set eyes on a German.
After that thero was plenty of hand-to-hand
fighting,"
