Expert Declares Passage of
River by Frontal Attacks
Would Be Most Notable
Military Feat.
LONDON, SepL 30.
In an Interesting nrtlcte In the London
Dally IJxpreSs, Lieutenant - Colonel
.Atsagcr pollock, of the Hrltlsh army,
gives a minute description of the theatre
of the world's greatest battle on tho
banks of the Alsno. It Is only necessary
to possess reasonable Intelligence and
a fairly largo map of tho country
through which tho Alsno flows In order
to understand how It Is that tho Allied
army, after successfully effecting a
crossing, has not only been prevented
from prosecuting Its advance beyond tho
river, but has oven been temporarily
driven back to the left bank, at somo
points, by counter-attacks, and thus com
pelted to bravo agnln and again the perils
of forcing the passage.
Colonel Pollock describes the Alsno as
a. very sluggish river. Frlm Vlllencuve,
one mllo cast of Solssons, to Lamotte,
eight miles east of Comptegnc, a dis
tance of nearly seventeen miles, the fall
Is only twenty-ono feet. Tho flats be
tween tho hills forming the valley nto
seldom less than one mile In breadth,
and tho hills themselves rise thence,
rather abruptly as a rule, to heights of
from 300 to 360 feet above the river. The
configuration of tho hills Is very In
dented, so that on cither side, but moro
especially on the right bank, tho guns
and also tho riflemen of a force dis
puting tho passage can readily be dis
posed so aB to bo perfectly sheltered
from artillery flro from the opposite
bank, while at tho same time command
ing long reaches of tho valley both up
and down the stream.
HANGE FINDING DIFFICULT.
According to Colonel Pollock, climatic
conditions render tho finding of an ac
curate range for heavy guns almost Im
possible. In tho clear atmosphere of
South Africa, whero he served during
the Boer War, tho fire of artillery nt 8000
yards, or even moro, could be quite use
fully observed, particularly when the sun
shone on the target, but It Is not so
on the banks of the Aisnc, and this fact
is one of much disadvantage to the Al
lies. Here, then, wo have an explana
tion sufficient In Itself to account for

MINOR TERRORS OF WAR;
ITS COMEDY AND PATHOS
the difficulty experienced by the British
and French troops In making good their
hold on the right bank of the Alsno, In
spite of oil tho valor displayed by them
in successfully effecting the crossing of
the river.
"A single example," says Colonel Pol
lock, "will sufllco to make clear the whole
matter In this connection. Let us as
sume nn attempt to cross at Vlc-sur-Aisno,
among, of course, a number of
other points simultaneously attacked.
One mile south of Montols Is an artil
lery position three miles long and hav
ing a command of, roughly, 360 feet over
the level of the river. Tho hills on the
opposite bank have In no case a com
mand within CO feet as great. In other
words, the artillery positions at the dis
posal of the attackers enjoy a command
of not less than 60 feet over any pos
sessed by the defenders."
A POINT OF VANTAGE.
But according to Colonel Pollock, on
the left bank of tho d'Hoxlon, a tributary
sticam which falls into the Alsno at
Vicsum-AIsne, a convenient spur Juts out
westwnrd, from behind which an open
field of fire extends for nbout 5000 yards
along tho right hank of the Alsne, and
guns there posted would bo quite safe
against anything but chance shells from
howitzers, which might conceivably drop
on thi-lr lurking place assuming this, to
havo been Indicated by aviators. There
Is no commanding position whatever
from which direct fire could be brought
to bear on guns placed behind the spur
In question.
The point that Colonel Pollock makes
In tills connection Is thut whilo the actual
passage nf the Alsne by well-trained and
valorous troops uojld involve In many
places no Insuimouutublo difficulty, tho
supporting nrflllery effectually prevrnt
Ing the enemy from offeilng serious re
sistance, tlie conditions become very dif
ficult from the moment when the attack
ers begin to mount the slopes beyond the
river In faco of aitillery, machine guns,
and liflcs securely placed whero It Is Im
possible to reach them from the opposite
bnnk. Fortunately, he adds, tho difficulty
confronting a flank attack directly over
tne Alsne is far less and In his opinion
such attack can be successfully made,
MAY MAKE HISTORIC BECORD.
"Meanwhile," Colonel Pollock says In
conclusion, "there Is nlso another factor
of tho problem which has most certainly
exercised a weighty Influence. Von
Kluk's defeated army, we may be quite
sure, is not that which brought the pur
suit to a standstill. Vca Buelow without
doubt, moved up his own nrmy to occupy
and entrench the most favorablo posi
tions on the right bank of the river, hi
anticipation of Von Kluk's retirement
behind It.
"Repated failures In the actual condi
tions cannot have been otherwise than
costly, and we must therefore prepare
ourselves for a very heavy list of casual
ties, as well us for fuither delay pending
the o.verelae of Btrnng pressure upon the
enemy's right flank.
"If the purely frontal attack succeeds,
the passage nf the Alsne will be the
most remarkable of all recorded In history."

WINSTON CHURCHILL SAYS
But Visit to Front Convinces Him
War Will Be Long.
PABIS, Sept 30.
First Lord of the British Admiralty
Winston Churchill, who has Just mado
n automobile tour of the ftont, has ar
rived In Paris.
"The situation Is excellent," said b.
"Bverwheie the Alius have the best of
It. Tho events of the last few days
bave greatly improved the stn teglcal
IKieltlons of the French and British."
Asked about the probable length of
the war, he replied:
"I cannot Judge, but I fear It will bo
a. long war."
PETROOBAD, Sept M.
A graphic story of tho fall of Lemberg,
Gallcla, and the scenes attending the
Russian occupation of tho city, has Just
been given to mo by an Englishman who
has arrived hero after witnessing these
historic events.
"I nm an englncor," said he, "and with
a friend of the same calling had business
In Lombcrg. Wo were not molested In
any way until about a wook before the
arrival of tho Russians, when we wore
suddenly sent for by the Austrian police,
placed under arrest nnd conveyed to
prison. Simultaneously all our money
wns confiscated.
"Wo were kept In cells for four or five
dnys, during which time absolutely no
food was given us. Fortunately we re
ceived a small portion of drinking water
each day or the 'hunger strike' would
hnvo been as complete as any undergone
by suffragettes In the London Jails. On
the fourth or fifth day wc were released,
but we were both so weak from lack of
food that wo could hardly stand.
"Just about tho time we worn released
word was received that tho Russians were
advancing upon the city, and panic broke
out. The entire Austrian administration
fled precipitately.
NO DKF13NSK ATTEMPTED.
"Defense of the city was not .attempted
at all. The Russians gave tho demoral
ized Austrian military authorities threo
days In which to surrender and evacuate
the place so that the Inhabitants would
be spared the horrors of a bombardment.
"On the third day a Russian aeroplane
li'nde Ita appearance over the city watch
ing for the Austrians" departure. The
Austrians fired upon the aeroplane, but
It returned apparently uninjured to tho
Russian lines.
"Then the Invaders made somo show of
opening a bombardment. I should say
It was only a feint; at any rate, no shells
seemed to fall In the city. Surely tho
RunMan gunners were not such bad
marksmen as all that.
"The noise of the Russian artillery was
terrific, and It scared tho already panic
stricken townspeople almost Into hyster
ics. Thirty-five thousand persons, some
of them residents of Lemberg, and others
refugees from the surrounding country,
bolted helter-skelter. Tho largo Jewish
population of Lemberg was particularly
frightened, as the Austrians had sys
tematically circulated shorten that the
Russians would massacre the Jews.
"Families carrying a few of their most
valuable possessions fled pell-mell nlong
the rond. Some had the advantage of
horse carts, and a few had automobiles.
V.'eeplng children, surrounded by their
tearful mothers, rushed about wild-eyed
with fear. Aged men and women, too
old for hasty flight, were Jostled by the
younger refugees In the frlght-fllled mob.
"Bankers made their escape with all
tlie money belonging to other people, and
even the savings boxen of tho poor were
broken open nnd the money taken.
"Nobody was allowed to leave by train
for Vienna unless he or she could de
posit nt tho railway station the sum of
f'000 kronen, which was 'to be returned
when tho depositor reached the capital.'
The reason advanced for this decision
upon the part of the authorities was that
the money was required as security for
the ability of tho Invading traveler to
meet the enormously Increased cost of
living in Vienna, Those seeking to go
to Budapest were compelled to deposit
1000 kronen. The cost of living there did
not seem to be bo high.
PITIFUL STREET SIGHTS.
"There were pitiful sights In the
streets, notably the spectacle of Austrian
soldiers, with wounded bodies, hatless,
shoeless, and in rags, begging a trust of
bread.
"Numbers of them belonging to the
Slavonic race got Into civilian clothing
and were to be seon carrying their uni
forms under their arms In bundles. They
said they were going to bum them.
The utter disorganization of the Aus
trian military administration and the
s'ate of chaos Into which the Austrian
war commissariat degenerated are be
neath criticism. The Austrian army Itself
pruveu q oe Disunited and an unwilling
mass of men that fell apart In the faro
of danger. Many of them were only too
glad to throw down their arms and sur
render. When taken prisoner they fra
ternized like brothers with the Russians
"The Russian army entered Lemberg In
splendid condition. It was attended by
an enormous provision train, with every
requisite In abundance. The Inhabitants
especially the Ruthenlan Slavs, met the
i ui s Muaiers wim demonstrations of
delight. The Russian officers were show,
eicd with flowers and men and women
kissed their hands
"Exemplary order was Immediately es
tabllshed by the Russians, soldiers being
used for police duty. The Russian com
mander visited the City Hall and de
clared that he wlBhed to co-operate with
the local authorities. This system proved
so efficacious that the Chief Deputy weht
to the Russian commandsr and thanked
him.
"We ourselves were well treated by the
Russians, who lent us money and enabled
lis to travel to this city. W. made th.
Journey free of all expense, first class
with a party of Rui.lar, officers. We
wera told that we would not be expected
to pay for anything, and the. Russians
were offended whn we trld "
A distinguished prisoner In Hungary Is

General Mostlnorf still looks quite defiant,
although he han grown a Bhadc more
modest since he was taken prisoner.
When brought Into the prison camp, lio
naked, through an Interpreter, forthe com
mander. Colonel Alfred von Obauer com
piled wfth the. request, and, with tho
courtesy characteristic of' officers, pre
sented himself to the Russian general.
The caged Russian lion was tactless
enough to remain seated. Colonel Obauer
then commanded. In a .firm but quint
tone! "Attentlonl" whereupon tho gen
eral found It advisable to show, by rising
stiffly to his, height, that he took the les
son In military discipline.
A correspondent of a Vlonna paper
thus describes n wnr-prlson sceno In
Hungary, between Hstcrgom (Gran) and
Kenycrmezo!
"You find there next to frenchmen,
with their wcll-cared-for complexions,
Russian officers, with effeminate features
and red-faced, weather-beaten Servian
offlcors. Beside flaxcn-linlred Cossacks
there are four fellows with cont black
heads negroes from tho coal mines of
Cardiff, who wero seized on British mer
chant ships. Servian gypsies from Sha
bats complete tho picture. In the centre
of the circle thero Is a grindstone, on
which a Cossack dutifully and humbly
sharpens, for ono of our Infantry soldiers,
a bayonet, which Is to do service against
tho northern foe. All around nro grouped
Servians nnd Montenegrins, who look on,
with lll-conccalod anger, whllo their
hoped-for deliverer serves tho son of tho
Puszta. Now thoro approaches tho group
an elegant figure Captain Gcony, of tho
Royal Yeomanry, whom England's decla

Consul, who Is to liberate him. Monslqur
G. Ralnal, the former trapeze artist of
Ronacher's variety show, now French
lieutenant of tho reserves performs a
trick on a chair with threo legs.
An Instance of how anxious Irish sol
diers nro to go to tho front was wit
nessed recently at Chelsea Barracks,
whero the IrlRh Guards were quartered.
Lato ono evening some ono sprend the
rumor that the Irish Guards were to be
transferred to one of the army depots.
That evening was one of tho wildest
known at Chelsea Barracks. Then camo
tho announcement that tho rumor was
true.
Immediately the Irish Guards set up
the cry) "We want tr go to the front.
Our place Is In France. We won't go to
any depots." For more than nn hour
the yelling kept up. Then the officer
mado npeeches telling tho men to bo
patient that they soon would bo oft for
the scene of fighting. Even after theso
promises a forco of mounted police wns
established about the barracks to Insure
peace and quiet.
Corporal J. Bailey In a letter home ex
presses lively contempt for German
marksmanship, as follows:
"On the firing lino tho Germans seem
to havo more ammunition than Is good
for them, and they keep firing away at
least ten rounds for every ono of ours
without doing half tho damage, or any
thing like It.
Tho Dally Mall prints tho following:
"How he once hnd a fight with the
Kaiser In the old English style and bent

"The Prince had had his morning bath

"'Do ou know wHo I nm?" demanded
the Prince. , ., ,
" 'I (Jon't caro who you are,' replied
young Prlrc. .... .
"The Prince promptly knocked the boy
down with a blow on tho nose, aimed with
his left. The Devonshire lad got up nnd
fought furiously for 20 mlnuten until
the Gerimti party arrived nnd separated
them. Both were marked, but the Prince
had the worst of tho fight."
A correspondent of tho Retch writes
that after the capture of Tltslt the Rus
sians occupied nn estate of the KnMer

aoldlcrs hnd never before seen. The

slept soundly. ...
The following morning the men laughed
heartily nt the Idea of sleeping on tho
Kalscr'n carpets with their boots on.
Thev remarked:
"Thank you, William: wo slept well.
Nevertheless we shall fight you."
Tho strictness of the censorship may
be Judged from nn article from a corre
spondent of the Echo de Paris, which
begins:
"There Is no dnngor of my being in
discreet. I know no more than any
body. But I believe that without saying
too much I can way "
Then followed six lines of blnnkness.
The censor evidently wns of opposlto
opinion to that of the writer.
The entire stock of pedigreed cattlo from
Kaiser Wllhclm's great sporting estate
at Romlnton, Enst Prussia, ono of the
great breeding establishments on the Con

report. Tho prlzo stock has already ar
rived at Smolensk, and will be distributed
by the Russian Agricultural Institute to

PARIS, S,ept. 30.
Letters from French soldiers on the
firing line and similar communications
found upon German prisoners throw In
teresting light upon the situation on the
battle front.
One soldier hnd written:
"I am writing this In a trench under
fire, and God knows if It will ever reach
Its destination. The Germans have, been
shelling us continually for two days and
two nights, and tho roll of artillery
thunder hns become so Incessant that
we can sleep without minding it.
"We have been under fire so long that
we have ceased to mind It altogether,
although I doubt If any man can ever
overcome the sickening sensation caused
hy the nearby explosion of a German
shell. It cnUses n tremor of the earth
and throws up a big pile of dirt. When
the dirty, black smoke rolls auny ono
can see a holo big enough to bury a.
house In.
"The German gunners nre assisted by
thlr aeroplnnefl, which go up every day
nnd find the ranges. They report any
troop movements and enable the Ger
mans to turn their guns against our men
when they move forward.
"Tho destruction Is terrible. I cannot
tell how many towns nnd villages I have
seen with the buildings blasted and
blackened with fire. Bridges are wrecked
and railroad tracks ore torn up. It will
be many years before this country re
gains ltii former beautiful aspect.
"The men believe thnt they soon will
be pursuing the Germans, and already
we are getting winter eaulpmont, so I
guess the Wnr Office 'looks for a winter
campaign. We nre well fed, but the
wAt, cold weather has catisrd a good
