nfJQN, Sept, a (ijisnaicn 10 mc J.onuon
. Dally Chronicle).
, Although Brent Interest Is concentrated
upon the northwest s.ldo of the lino of
tattle In France, It must not bo fornotten
that the cast sldo Is also of high Importance.
Now for the first tlmo since the begin
ning of the war there will bo a little res
pite on the Lorraine frontier, and in tho
wooded country of tho two lost provinces
thcie will ho time to bury the dead which
incumber Its fields. Words nro utterly
Inadequate to descrlbo tho horrors of the
region to the cast of the Mcurthe, in and
i I around tho little towns or IJlamont, Un
jldonvlller, Clrey-lcs-Forecs, Arracourt,
Chateau-Sallns, Morhnugo and Haudrc
court, wheio for six weeks thero has been
Incessant lighting. After the henvy bat
tle of September 4, when tho Germans
were repulsed with severe losses after an
tttack In force, both sides retired for
about 12 mites and dug themselves Into
lines of trenches which they still hold;
tut ovcry day since tliut date there has
been a kind of gucttilla warfare, with
jmall bodies of men lighting from village
to Milage and from wood to wood, tho
forces on each sldo being scattered over
i wide aica in advance of their main
lines. This method of warfare is even
jnoie tcrrlblo tnan a pitched battle.
"It la absurd to talk of Red Crosi
work," said one of tho French soldiers
ulio had just como out of the trenches
it I.unevlUe. "It has not existed as far
as many of these fights are concerned.
How could it? A few litter carriers
came with us on somo of our expedi
tions, hut they were soon shot down, and
after that tho wounded just lay whcio
they fell, or crawled away into tho shel
ter of the woods. Those of us who were
unhurt woio not nllnwcd to attend to
our wounded comiadcs; It is against
orders. Wo have to go on regardless of
losses. Sly ow n best comrade was struck
down by my side. I heard his cry and
taw him lying there with blood oozing
through his coat. My heart wept to
leave him. Ho wanted mo to take hW
monoj, but I just kissed his hand and
Trent on. I suppose he died, for I could
not And him when wo retreated."
IjAY THREE DAYS UNTENDED.
Another French soldier lay wounded at
the edge of a wood 10 mlle3 from Lune
vlllc. When ho recovered consciousness
he saw thero were only dead and dying
men around him. He remained for two
days, unable to move his shattered limbs
end cried out for death to relieve him
of his agony. At night ho was numbed
by cold; in tho day thirst tortured him
to the point of madness. Faint cries
and groans camo to his ears across tho
field. It was on tho morning of tho third
day that French peasants came to res
cue those who still remained alive.
Thcie havo been several ndvances made
by tho French into Lorraine, and sev
eral letlrcmcnts. On ench occasion men
have seen new horrors which have turned
their stomach!. There are woods not far
from Xancy from which there comes a
pestilential stench which steals down tho
ulml in gusts of obsceno odor. For threo
neekit and more dead bodies of Germans
and Frenchmen havo lain rotting thero.
Thcio nro few grnvo diggers. The peas
ants have lied from their villages, and
the soldiers havo other work to do; so
that the frontier fields on each sldo aro
littered with corruption, where plague
and ftver find holding ground.
DYING ENEMIES RECONCILED.
I have said that this warfare on the
frontier Is pitiless. This Is a gencrnl
itatuncnt of n truth to which there are
exceptions. Ono of these was a recon
ciliation on tho battlefield between Fiench
and German soldiers who lay wounded
and abandoned near the little town of
Btamunt. When dawn came they con
versed with each other while waiting
for d-ath. A French soldier gave his
natei hotilo to a German officer who
was crying out with thlist. The German
tipped ,i littlo and then kissed the hand
of the man who had been his enemy.
"There will be no war on the other side,"
he said.
An. ther Frenchman, who came from
Moutmartre, found a Luxomburger ly
ing within a yard of hirn whom ho had
known .is a messenger In a big hotel In
INirN Tho young German wept to see
hU old acquaintance. "It is stupid?' he
mid, "this war. You mid I were happy
when wu weie irood friends In P.irln.
I V hy should wo have been mado to light
with each other?" He died with his
arms around the neck of the soldier who
told me tho story, unashamed of his own
tears.

PETROGRAD. Sept. 23.
Tho War OfTleo report lelreat of tho
German forces that Invaded Russian Po
land. This Is nttrlbutcd to news of tho
continued success of tho Russtntis In
Gallcln. It Is expected that tho retiring
Germnns will bo drawn back to strengthen
tho Kallsz-Cracow lino with tho purpose
of withstanding tho Russian inarch on
Sllcsln. Tho retreating Hermann nro be
ing pursued by General Reunenknmpt'B
forces, strengthened by the garrisons from
Kovno and Vlltin. They engnged the re
treating Germans at Sopocklnle and Drus
skcnlkl, In the Suwalkl dlitrlct, and In
flicted heavy losses.
Gencrnl Rcnnenkampf report that the
German soldiers whom ho lias been op
posing are field corps, probably brought
from the western thontre of war and
rcplnccd there by reserves, llo says that
rellablo reports have reached him that
Lmpror William himself Is directing tho

(Fonner repoits have had the German
Emperor at hcadiiuartcrn In Luxemburg,

It Is Impossible to lenrn of his exact

General Rennenknmpf adds In his IP
port that the Gennnns have attempted !o

hut Mint they were unable to bring up
theli' big guns.
"The German forces ciossed the border
at four points," he cays. "Th-y showed
their chief strength nt Knllsz, where they
occupied the Warta district, but this sec
tion ot their army suffered heavily at
Sleradr (southeast of Kallsz).
"Two other forces advanced to Mlawa
and I.omzn, but the latter suffered a
severe check.
"The fourth advanced by way of Su
walkl toward tho Nlemcn. There they
suffered heavily from our nrtlllery fire,
which shattered their attempt to ad

forces, which far outnumbered ours, In
dicates that they aro being withdrawn
to another spot where they nro urgently
needed."
Whllo necessarily all plans are closely
guarded, tho declaration Is freely made
hero thnt tho Russians will havo entered
Berlin by tho first of January next. Tho

KING'S OWN MOWED
LIKE STRICKEN GRAIN
BY SCYTHES OF WAR
Colonel Falls Early? Shout
ing Encouragement to Men.
and Eleven Officers Are
Lost in Covering Allies'
Retreat.
LONDON, Sept. 28.
The first connected narratle of the se
vere lighting In which the King's Own
Royal Lancashire Regiment was engaged
when In killed and wounded tho regiment
had eleven ofllcers put out of action. Is
given by a sergeant of the regiment who
has Just arrived home wounded.
The King's Own, with the Lancashire
Fusiliers and tho Middlesex Regiment,
were ordered to cover the -retreat of pint
of tho allied forces from Mom... On
August 25 they left the position In which
they had been euticnelied to tnko new
ground, and were marching through the
nluht. finding themselves at daybreak
bitween Cambral and Lo Chateau. Sev
eral thousand Frenchmen nnda Highland
regiment had passed down their lines.
While tho King's Own were taking break
fast the Herman artillery boomed foi th.
Seveial shells fell In the vicinity of tho
trenches without doing harm, hut the
enemy's aitlllery was much superior In
numbers to thnt of the Allies, nnd they
pouictl In a raking Mirapnel fire before
tho Kugllsh guns began to speak. Theie
was no doubt either about tho enemy's
range finding, and under cover of tho
guns the enemy came on In tho propor
tion of six to one.
Men were mowed down llko ninepins
by the bursting shrapnel, and It seemed
as If tho King's Own had been singled
out for tho Miucl.il fury of tho onslaught.
Colonel Dykes fell nt an early stage of
the engagement, whllo shouting encour
agement to his men. Fighting continued
furiously until about 9:30. Then thero
was a lull, and the enemy, seemingly
reinforced, mado good thel advance,
and nnother five- hours' desperate con
flict ensued. 1
The Allies fought tho advanco Inch hy
Ini'h, fighting becoming so closo that the
Klns'n Own got homo with several dash
Ing bayonet charges, ono of the most
brilliant of which was led by Captain
Clutterbitek formerly of the Yorkshire
Light Infantry, who with a handful of
men routed four timro tho number of men
under his command. He paid thu price
of his gallantry with his life, hut the
casualties to his mi-n wero singularly
light. The sergeant suld, "It was Just
like Clutterbuck."
"Then," continued the sergeant, "there
was Lieutenant Steel-lVrklns, who tiled
one of the grandest deaths a llrltish
ofllccr could wish, lie was lifted out of
tho trenches wounded four times, but,
protesting, crawletl hack again till he
was mortally woundid." l'roreedlng, the
sergeant said: "Tho flrrt man knocked
over was one of the most popular of the
Rugby footballers in the Dover garrison,
lie was shot through tho mouth. Lieu
tenant Woudgate distinguished himself in
bravery and Major Kirker was coolneb
personified.
"A German aeroplane which came over
our position on the day preceding the
battle was ucnmntal for. Assailed b a
shower of bullets from more than one
regiment, Its reconnoitring career had a
sudden stop. The enemy swooped down
un iih so quickly at tho tlnUh that wo
were unable to remove all our dead nnd
wound'-d. Stretcher boarers were boot
down, and I. who had been woumltd with
u shrapnel bullet In the muscle ot the

doctor from the field hospital. In a school,
when a slull come und demolished the

"All our King's Own are burled In

DRUMMER BOY, HIT
BY GERMAN SHELL,
LONGS TO RETURN
Youth in London Hospital
Yearns for One More Bat
tle as He Describes Mons
Experience.
LONDON, Sept. 2S.
One of the youngest heroes to leach
London among thu wounded Hritish
troops is a 17-ycar-old drummer boy, at
tached to a Cheshire regiment.
"I went out nt the beginning of tho
war," said the boy, "and was in tho
trenches at Mons."
"You ought to have been with tho
transport," Interrupted the artilleryman
with a sovero look.
"Ves," laughed the lad, "but who was
going to stop with the transport? I
wanted to got to the firing lino nnd seo
some nctinn. I was out for adventure.
"No transport for mo. I was sent for
a box of ammunition iind was curving
It on my shoulder when a shrapnel
splinter struck the box and knocked me
down. All our fellows thought I was
dead and camo running up to me. I got
up all right and went hack to the
tienches. 1 got a rifle and started to
pop away at them."
The boy turned to the artilleryman and
his face lighted up with Interest ns he
naked:
"ICver seo a shrapnel drop?"
"Hoy, I'vo seen far too many of them
drop," answered tho artilleryman.
"Ono dropped by me." wonton tho
wounded youngster. "It stood on end for
a second or two and I didn't seem to
realize It was a shell. Then It burst. I
thought It would kill every one around,
but It didn't half kill some of tho men."
The big artilleryman was lost Inab
stractlon. "Yes, my lad," said he. "the ncinpinnes
kept giving tho rnngo of tho German ar
tillerymen. They are good shots and
they have got pood guns."
Tho boy went on:
"Tho neioplanes dropped firoworkti on
us. They kopt on flying back nnd loitli
above us all the time. It was the most
wonderful sight I could imagine.
Tho nrtlller limit said ho had been Miot
through the arm.
"I kept on the firing line, after bind
ing up my wound with a Imndkerchlif."
said he. "I got so sick and weak I had
to go to tho hospital. We wero trjlng to
prevent the Germans from taking somo
of our guns. They wero about a half
milo away and they were giving us n
hot reception with their nrtlllerj. Those
Dutch artillerymen must have been work
ing like demons, Judging from tho
severity of the cannonade. Wounded
soldiers ciept Into the hedge on both
sides of the road.
"The doctors tell me that I will b?
able to go out again In about a week.
Thero won't be any more Mons It Is
time for the Uermanu to tako theli
gruel now "
"Did you see them blow that big tree
up'" asked the drummer boy
"Yes." replied the artilleryman, 'and I
saw all those cows run out of the
woods."
This recollection seemed to tickle th"
boy. Ho laughed heartily.
"When I got back to my trench with
my box of ammunition I covered It with
branches nnd broken rifles. I had to
cross a space thnt was being raked with
.shrapnel and Maxim guns. I stopped,
hut the bullets were humming so briskly
that I turned hack. Then I waited until
s-omo soldiers came up.
"One of the men said: 'Whero's the bal
ance of your command, kid'." I told him
that they were nearly nil wiped out. I
added that I would accompany them
across the giound under fire.
"The same soldier answered: 'You will
be committing suicide If you do.'
"More nnd more shells continued to
drop around me. Ono bullet scoiehed my
cheek. I saw one mtin next to me struck
between the eyes. lie gave a yell, threw
up his hands and dropped on his face.
"They put me with somo commandeered
horses and thev stampeded. I got my
knee slushed and one of the horses step
lied on me. Thnt Is why I am here-.
" 'I'm going back, lust as soon ns I
get out of here. I hope the war doesn't
end before I can see at least one more
battle'."

GERMAN WARSHIPS
TO LOOK ELSEWHERE
FOR THEIR SUPPLIES
Exposure of Distinatlon of
Steamships Fram and
Sommerstand Cancels Sail
ings Captains Tell Their
Suspicions.
German wnrshlps In .South American
and West Indian waters which have been
coaled and provisioned by esscls out
of this port will have to seek other
sourccB for supplies. The dictograph
exposure of the destinations of tho Nor
wegian steamships Fram nnd Sommer
slad, now at anchor In the Delaware
River, has disclosed tho system which
mado the vlolutlon of neutrality possi
ble. Owners, agents nnd others arc
now rushing to cover. Tho expose wrns
due to the efforts of Christian Moe,
Norwegian Consul nt this port, and
Itnlph M. Bullowa, a Nrw York attorney.
It was In Mr. Hullown's ofllce the dic
tograph was Installed, prior to n con
ference between the innstors of the ves
sels, representatives of tho Huinhurg
Amerlcan Mne and olllclali of the Inter
Amcrlcan Company. Mr. Hullowa de
clare that tho Inter-Amerlcnn Com
pany had chartered tho vessels and then
rechartetcd them to the Hamhurg
Amerlcan Company. This Is denied by
Julius I'. Meyer, director of the latter
company, who asserts that his company
has chartered vessels at various times
to supply ships of tho line, but never
German cruisers.
Upon the advice of Mr. Moe, Captain
Axelson, of the h'ommerstad, and Cap
tain Grlnhclm, of the Kram, consulted
Mr. Bullowa, after notifying their own
ers, the A. V. KlavernosH & Co., of
Ilaugcscnd, Norway, nnd H. M. Wrnngell
St. Co., of Christlanla, Norway.
CONSUL GETS SUSPICIOUS.
Consul Moe's suspicion was first aroused
by Captain A:kelscn and Captain Grlnhclm.
They told him they were to sail under
sealed orders and "things didn't look Just
right." They said that they were In duty
bound to the steamship owners to carry
the cargoes to their destinations, but they
did not believe the owners know anything
about the shipment of supplies to Ger
man warships.
A few days later tho captains told Mr.
Moe that agents of the Hamburg-American
Line had sent them offers of big
bonuses for Immediate sailings. This was
during the time tho masters of the steam
ships weio awaiting advice from homo.
Tho advice camo and told them to con
sult nn attorney. Then tho conference
with the dictograph as a witness was ur
ranged. Nothing could be learned of the trans
action at the office of William J. Grand
field and Company, 3&S Walnut stret, to
day. They are the local agents for the
steamships. They declined to give the
name or names ot the persons for whom
they were acting and further refuf-cd to
nfTirm or deny that they knew tfic car
goes were meant for German cruisers.
