The turning movement of the Allies is meeting with fierce resistance oj the part of the Germans on a line running from Tergnier to St. Quentin, but the
French outposts are believed t? have penetrated farther north and are threatening the German rear, though it has been reinforced by General von Boehn'a
commands. On the extreme right of the French the Germans are attacking Verdun and the entire line of frontier forts from Verdun to Toul with heavy
siege guns brought from the fortress of Metz. On the Oisle the engagement is of the most violent character, and at Noyon the French were forced to retire,
although later, renewing their offensive. ,

FIERY UHLANS HOLD
CHIEF SPOTLIGHT
IN WAR'S THEATRE
Waving Lances and Car
bines, Kaiser's Cavalry
Figures Frequently in Ex
citing Tales of Struggle.
In the news of the war thus far, nearly
cery dispatch, If It has concerned an op
eration In which the Germans have had
a part, and there have been few moves
In which the Kaiser's armies have not
had the leading place, tho word "Uhlan"
has appeared. The Uhlans have done this
nnd that and have borno the blame or tho
praise. Maybe tho war correspondents,
or rather their non-military Informants,
have given tho name Uhlan to all the
German cavalrymen, for Mirely the Dra
goons and Cuirassiers have not been
wholly idle. But the Uhlans, or rather
tho cavalry, will not probably be so big
hi the news for a while, unless a situa
tion arises where some regiments of
horses are called upon to savo a day with
a chaige. Then the Uhlans may win a
placo In literature and history like -that
held by the Six Hundred at Balaklava.
The urmles are now M) near each other
that there Is less work for the cavalry
screen that goes out scouting from ten to
fifty miles ahead of the Infantry and
artillery to discover the lay of the enemy
or deceive the enemy (as to the wheic
nbouts of Its own main body.
But tho persistent presence of that word
"Uhlan" in tho news has caused many
nersons v. ho give no thought to armies
and military affairs except In war time
to aak who are tho Uhlans and why?
XTHLAN BATTLE CBY.
7Iere Is the motto and tho battle cry
of tho Uhlans, and It will glvo a pretty
fair Idea of what the Uhlans think of
themselves and their exploits In war and
displnvs In tllno of peace have justified It
to tho extent that the Kaiser speaks of
"my Uhlans" with pride and affection:
Venn nllfB anj(t uml pchwnnkt
Uann iae nli-ht urn! utile nkht. ilnnn rt'rauf '
A literal translation of tho couplet
reads
Whn fortunes are nhaklne ami bravo men nre
quaking.
Then stuy not and weigh not, but down on the
foe'
The Uhlans aro tho show troops of Gei
many, although tho cavalry, as a natuiut
lesult of their mounts and equipment, ale
tho soectarles or all armies, 'im-y una
the Cuirptslers aro tho heavy cavalry in
the Kaisers army, and the heavy cuvaliy
do tho scouting because they are armed
and equipped In the way of mounts to
travel further from their base of supplies
and to fight their way out If tbey get Into
a tight plate The light cavalry is more
daBhlng and better suited for buttle
charges.
The Uhlan goes about with a long lance,
a pali of big revolvers, a sabre and a
carbine The lanca has. a ilutteilng pen
nant and the butt rests In the stirrup.
The carbine is clunK from tho saddle In
a s.rt of holster or "bucket," and the
pistols and sabre aru bttiing from Ills
person In the usual way A leglment of
Uhlans riding at a gallop, standing In
tlulr stirrups their luuiis all Inclined
fimwinl ut tho sumo angle and theli
pennants fluttering, makes an Insplilug
Picture, but tho multiplicity of weapons
and haidware Impediment Is cnnsldeieil
by war experts of other nations to put
them at u disadvantage when an enemy
lb met.
ATtR OF TARTAR OIUaiN'.
The word uhlan and the btylo of soldier
fiom which he has been evolved are of
Tartar ovlgln, und euniu Into. I'urope from
tho Uiht. The lance is his dlatinSuUhlng
mark. The Pol' a uete the Hist nurupe.ui
lnucera or uhlans, and fcucli valuable light
ers were they that all the arm Its of
Ilurope copied them and their tactics
J'russla has always been strong for cav
ulry. and the uhlan lance has been re
tained by Germany and Austria, though
other armies have discarded it as a hin
drance rather than an aid in the kind
of work cavalry Is called upon to do in
modern warfare But the Germans btlck
to prvcttfent. just as they did in the mat
ter of the cuiruss after other armies had
discarded thtlr men of the IB-pound body
tbUld that ouci would turn louden musket
bulls, but would offer o hindrance to
Uis hlgh-puweied rillu bullet of today.
And since the Poles first won fame as
uhlans, so today a largo part of the
Uhlans are Poles and men from the east
ern part of the empire.
Tho Uhlans originally were not only
picturesque because of their spears and
pennants, but tho wore garbed In unl-fo.-ms.dlstinctly
Olicntal and caparisoned
their mounts In gaudy fashion. In recent
years the .uniforms have been more sober
and the hbrses have been relieved of all
possible burden.
It was Frederick tho Great who Intro
duced the first great cavalry epoch,
though his early experiments were dis
nstious. Ills cavalry was all heavy cav
alry in ovory sense. His horse soldiery
wero so encumbered that a spoed greater
than a trot was never essayed, and a trot
could only be maintained for a few hun
dred yards.
After a smashing defeat, one of Frcd-t-rlck'a
generals told him that tho secret
of victory lay in the less of tho soldiers
and that horses that could not go Into
uction at top speed and keep up that
bpecd undiminished for 2000 yards wer.o a
drawback to an army. Frederick took
the matter to his heart and developed a
cavalry that had speed and dash and
that carried no unnecessaiy weight. From
that time on Germany has been a cav
alry nation and now mounts its men on
nnlmals that can go top speed for more
man tnree miles.
MILLION'S FOR HORSES.
To gel horses with tho speed and the
bottom for such work as the Kaiser's
generals demand of tho Uhlans and Cui
rassiers, Germany has scoured the world
and paid millions of dollars for breed
ing animals. The State maintains breed
ing farms that supply many of the horses
for the army and prlvato producers aro
encouraged with good prices to raise
army grade animals.
Just as every man In Germany Is a
o1dir, every horse In Germany Is po
tentially a war animal. Eveiy horse in
Me etnpite Is registered and when mobi
lisation Is ordered each owner must
bilng to tho headquarters In his district
all his horses. There tho animals aro
examined by military veterinary sur
geons nnd such as are fit for war work
are turned over to the army at once.
Latrr, a military board decides what
rach animal was worth, and tho owner
gets that sum, nnd. It might be addpd,
no mote.
A leglment of Uhlans Is made up of
CM men for actual line of battle work
and 1M for the "depot." The depot men
take care of supplies, extra mounts, and
forage and replace men at tho front
when needed.
The Austrian, French and Russians
have given great caro to their horse sol
dier?, and all hut France huvo some Ian
cers. The Austitans nre hard riders and
nie recruited fiom tho eastern peoples of
the empire very largely. The French
and the Russians have few horsemen
armed with spears. Tho Czar's Cos
sacks, who are really hard riding, hard
fighting herdsmen or cowboys from thn
south of the eniplra before they go Into
the army, aro perhaps Europe's best
cavalrymen befoie they aro trained.
Nearly all of them have been practi
cally born In the saddle and know horses
as do the Arabs.
Persons with Imagination have said
th"y could think of no more stirring
circumstance than equal bodies of Uhlans
and Cossacks charging upon each other
across open country.
have been cut out, but whether the clip
ping has been done by tho original send
ers or by censors Is not known. The
papers usually have como through with
no comment except what Is Implied In
the blue-penciling of the more Interesting
articles.
LIQUOR MEN PROFESS THEIR
READINESS TO SHOW BOOKS
Deny That Their Records Are Being
Removed From City.
Leaders of the liquor men backing Sen
ator Penrose In the senatorial campaign
nre evincing Interest In tho progress of
the Investigation started In Washington
to dig Intc the Penrose primary election
"slush fund."
Denials were made yesterday by sev
eral liquor leaders that they wore spirit
ing their books out of the State. With
one accord they said they welcomed an
investigation of any kind and said they
would be glad to give the Senato Com
mittee any assistance.
Nell Bonner, president of the Pennsyl
vania Federation of Liquor Dealers,
frankly admitted that ho and other of
ficers of the various liquor men's or
ganizations were advising their constitu
ents to vote for Penrose. Bonner said
he had visited State Democratic Chair
man Morris and tried to persuade him
that the Democrats keep the liquor ques
tion out of their campaign. Falling In
this, ho said, he and his colleagues had
gone to the support of Penrose for their
own protection.
"It is qulto true that we solicit funds
irom our members $25 each," said Bon
ner. "But this money Is solely for the
upkeep of our organization. Whether any
money got to Penrose, as alleged, Is a
matter of which 1 know nothing. But
wo are not alarmed over this investiga
tion, and are ready for them at any
time."
Charges that the Anti-Saloon League
was fostering the Penrose Investigation,
and that back of them stood political In
terests, were mado by Charles F. Ettla,
an officer of the Pennsylvania State
Brewers' Association. Ettla was In fight
ing mood when seen at his office In the
Land Title Building.
"Let them come." ha shouted. "We are
ready for them any time. We are not
taking our books out of the State, and If
they want an Investigation wo will be
right on the Job. Why don't they Investi
gate Vance McCormlck and tho money
he spent on Mitchell Palmer? The whole
thing has been stirred up to make po
litical capital."

Some picture him with anguished brow
Among his weeping womankind.
The baleful hour has struck and now
Ho leaves the happy years behind.
He goes, for duty sounds the call;
'TIs his to keep our England free
Frbm a devouring tyrant's thrall.
Mas', that It should be!
But I have seen him straight and strong.
His spirits obviously high.
Waving toward tho cheering throng
That stands to watch him marching by.
His eye with martial ardor beams.
He cries "Are wo downhearted? No!!!"
Or chants that Tlpperary seems
A long, long way to gol
t
His chin is high, his shoulders squared,
His heart Is throbbing to the drums.
He knows his task and Is prepared
To do his best, whatever comes.
When Klng-Ttnd Country spoke their ncod
They did not have to ask him twice.
He speaks of "privilege," Indeed,
Never of "sacrlflcol"
