gleal mlstako and the great turning point
In tho war. To this tho final subjection
of Germany will bo traced, and through
this miscalculation Von Kluck lost hla
rank and position In the army.
Hln retreat, however, was ono of tho
most masterly In tho wholo course of Eu
ropean hlBtory, for It had seemed ns If
his wholo army must be captured.
Though IiIb losses were tremendous, ho
yet managed to retire. Bverywhoro wo
saw soldiers, guns, sentinels and long
cavalcudes winding their way amidst
clouds of dUBt to tho front. All nlong tho
railway Uric were stationed sentinels, and
tho train Itself was packed with soldiers.
Tho countryside was entirely deserted,
oxcept for the soldiers. Where tho In
habitants had vanished to I do not know,
probably to Paris. Not a sodl was to bo
seen anywhere for miles upon miles. Then
In tho distance wc would see a great cloud
of dust which gradually grew bigger and
bigger, and a gllnt-llko llro would shlno
out suddenly. It was a regiment of hel
mctcd soldiers on their way to tho front,
with horses, great guns nnd a hundred
wngons following behind. Hero nnd
thcro somo old man In a bluo linen smock
would spring up from somo lonely cottago
to stnre, open-mouthed, at tho cavalcade...
Our Journey was not easy, for many
bridges- en routo had been blown up In
order to check tho German advance, and
tlieso bridges had been patched up for tho
time being, nnd must be crossed with
great care. Howover, no ono felt In tho
least uneasy, for these things nro but
trifles incidental to traveling In this re
gion. DETECTIVES ON TRAIN.
Several plain-clothes French detectives
Wcro on board the train, and ,11 "wan
umuslng to note their tactics and be
haviour. After chatting pleasantly with
you and finding out as much as they
could In that way they would suddenly
demand to see all your papers and ask
you a series of most searching questions.
I was particularly struck with tho beau
tiful whlto roads, all leading to the
front, and by their deserted appearance.
Ono of the detectives Informed me that
civilians are forbidden to walk on theso
roads, as they have been entirely taKcn
over by tho mllltarv authorities.
Near Epcrnay, vnere tho wholo valloy
Is so bcnutlful and tho river winds Us
way through green tobacco fields, we
saw the body of a dead French soldier
floating In tho Mnrne. At ono tlmo tho
bodies were thick In that river. Tall
poplar tree3 Uno its banks and weeping
wlllowo droop lazily, while the water
itself Is a curious Bhado of bright green.
Tho houses In that district are all of a
palo pink shade, with roofs a deep and
mellow red. The red-capped sentries.
With their gleaming bayonets, made an
other splash of color and tho bluest of
blue skies shono serenely above.
At Epornay wo stopped to have all pas
sengers examined, and .the railway plat
form was tho setting for a scene such, as
no stago has ever yet produced. Every
possible shade of blue, pink, red and
yellow was fully represented In tho cos
tumes of tho soldiers, for the French unl-fni-mn
nr nulte kaleidoscopic In coloring.
They crowded tho Uttlo platform, for
there were more soldiers there than the
station could well hold. A babel of voices
went on In great confusion gendarmes,
detectives, officers, zouaves, hussars, lied
Cross surgeons, Moroccans, cavalrymen
and army servlco men.
An Interesting Belgian noncommissioned
oillcer, Isidore Nort, an "auto-muraii-leuse"
of the 2d Division Cavalry, was In
our carriage, who but the night before
had been at the from, and he talked in
a most interesting fashion.
Apparently the greater part of his work
was to drop bombs from aeroplanes on
the German troops and trenches, and also
to hurl hand grenades from armored
motorcars, .

our own women and children or we our
selves must bo mowed down by the Ger
mans. "At first we did not fire. The Hermans
hot us down llko corn,, and In doing so
they shot many of tho women, whom
they were driving before them for their
own protection. It was n disgusting
sight, that slaughterl Finally, In self
defense, wo had to fire on the Germans!"
"t have seen so many sights of atro
city, but still I have a feeling ot nauseal"
ho continued. "It la terrible to witness
the old men ami old women massacred,
One old man who was being driven In
front of the German troops could not
walk fast enough, for lie was bent with
ago. The soldiers kept piercing him
with their bayonets until ho dropped
dead from wounds. It made mo feel a
little faint that cruel sight!"
"Do you think that America should
ON MARNE BATTLEFIELD
enter this war?" nsked another In tho
compartment.
"No, I do not," said Nort, decidedly,
"becauso If she docs enter the war she
will no longer be ablo to contlnua her
splendid work of sending food to the poor
Belgians -I havo Just received a letter
today from my mother, Mmc. Nort, who
Is a prisoner In Brussels, and sho says
that without tho asslstanco of tho kind
Americans there would bo no food. When
you go back to America, mademoiselle,
please tell the Americans thcro that wo
Belgians owe them a debt of undying
gratitude for their promptltudo nnd
kindness In this matter. No, I do not
wish that they enter this war, they are
doing splendid work already!"
When Chalons was reached, ve had
another examination of papers nnd photo
graphs and passports I quite fall to see
bow any spy could ever reach the French
llrlngrllno without detection, so rigorous
Is tho Bystem!
When Vltry was gained wo had to leave
tho train and proceed by motorcar. In
tho Btatlon we underwent ono of tho most
searching examinations of tho Journey.
Wc had to proceed to tho Mayor's house
and the commlssalre do police to be fur
ther examined and get fresh passports.
Tho little town was guarded by sentinels
nt every road I
After an hour's Investigation wo wcro
relenscd and decided that before pro
ceeding by car we would walk to a vll
lnge, one mile distant, to Bee tho ruins
caused by the last bombardment. Sen
tlnolB held us up along the dusty high
rood and examined our papers carefully.
Any ono not In tho uniform of a soldier
Is an object of strong suspicion In theso

A brilliantly Illuminated vessel lying
nt anchor about flvo miles from shore
has caused much talk for the last two
nights. Many nervous people claimed
that It was a warship of some foreign
country, and others declared that It was
tho yacht of a mllllonatro who wns enter
taining guests at a dance whllo his craft
wns bobbing up nnd down on tho waves.
The true story about tho vessel Is thnt
It was a menhaden steamer waiting for
a shoal of those fish to appear so that
the fishermen could get busy.
"SHOEMAKER STICK TO YOUR LAST"
Jacqulth, tho aviator, who has never
met with an accident since ho stnrted
Hying hero two years ago. Is now suf
fering from a fractured anklo and a split
collarbone. He did not receive these In
juries whllo engaged In tho seemingly
perilous occupation of navigating the nlr.
Last week ho took n trip to Xew York
on n motorcycle and collided with n Ford
truck, demolished his machine, nnd re
ceived tho Injuries from which ho is now
suffering. Hereafter, ho will stick to air
flights and attempt no stunts on tho
earth.
CHELSEA'S SOCIAL WHIRL.
Chelsea Is now In tho zenith of Its glory.
Tho fashionable pconlo who reside thcro
are vlelng with each other In the giving
of soclnl events, so that every day and
night there nre from 10 to n dozen dan
sants, card parties, muslcales nnd other
affairs. A circus Is to be given the latter
part of this month a real society circus,
only under a different name, so that tho
benefiting charity may get a largo sum
of money.
Young men arc practicing gymnastic
stunts on the bench during bathing hourB,
young women nro devising elaborate cos
tumes for parts they will assume, nnd It
Is even hinted thnt a well-known society
leader will use her own horso and do a
regulation circus riding act. It Is also
said that two debutantes of last season
will don the motley garbs worn by circus
clowns and cut capers In tho ring, ''his
will be tho big event of a remarkablo
successful social season.
A new method of cntertnlnment has
been put In operation at ono of the piers.
It Is called the "Panamn Canal," and
conslstn of a long trough of wnter, over
which Is stretched a tight rope. Tho peo
ple who want to play tho game try to
walk' tho length of tho trough on the
rope. If they slip, they go ddwn in the
water ankle deep, and many of them do,
giving the spectators an opportunity to
laugh long nnd loud at their bad luck.
Notwithstanding the big percentage of
losers, thcro Is always a waiting crowd
to try tho new game, and ns a mlrth
provokcr It Is even mora successful than
the "mixer" or "human rouletto wheel."

Under Polygamy" (Dodd Mead Co.. N, V.)

NOVELIST H.
HfNRY JAME3 AND
lORG MOORE BOTH
TALKING AT OAC
In "Boon" (Dornn), H. G. Wells
docs n lot of other things besides
pretending thnt two gentlemen
named Bliss and .Boon aro re
sponsible for all tho whimsical
and sometimes biting comment on
contemporaries to bo found be
tween Its covers. Ono of tho most
interesting features of tho book is
tho sketches which Mr. Wells has
indubitably contributed, but which
ho insists on palming off ns tho
work of this mystical master
novelist, Boon.
Wells Takes Another Holi
day If "Ilcalby" wns a holiday, then "Boon"
Is a wholo vncatlon. It Is more It Is
an Intellectual "bat." Wells' new vol
ume, from Doran & Co., which ho in
sists on palming oft upon ono Reginald
Bliss, author of 'Whales in Captivity,' "
Is Just tho sort of "Indiscreet, Ill-advised
book" that every author ought to bo
compelled to wrlto Just onco in his life.
How clso aro wo to learn thnt Henry
James Is "a lovlathnn retrieving peb
bles"? No critic, even In tho protection
of nnonymlty, would ever furnish th's
formula for James' system of selective
composition: "Having first mado suro
that he had scarcely anything to espross,
ho then sets to work to express It. with
an Industry, a wealth of Intellectual stuff
that dwarfs Newton." More, no Ameri
can critic would havo tho audacity to
compare Mary Austin with Mrs. Ward
by saying, "It's llko turning from tho
feet of a goddess to a pair of goloshes."
And no American, critic or noncrltlc,
would venturo to describe Columbia ns
tho Aunt Errant of Chrlstlndom.
Thnt Is tho sort of thing which wanders
riotously through "Boon," nnd Its Itin
erary Is Just as riotous. Tho wholo af
fair is supposed to be the literary re
mains of n world-popular author nnmed
Boon, pieced together by conversations
with the great man when ho wasn't dic
tating best sellers to tho censorious back
of his sccretnry. Sometimes It Is scrappy
little notes like: "Arnold Bennett ns nn
abortlvo Grcnt Mnn. Would havo mndb
a Great Victorian and had a crowd of
satellite helpers. Now. no ono will ever
treasure his old hats and pipes." Some
times It, Is burlesque, like tho gathorlng
of tho British authors at tho conference
on the Mind of the Rncc. Sometimes It
Is Impassioned rhetoric, such as it de
scribes tho power of that Mind. VJThls
wonder thnt we celebrate, this divinity, Is
tho dawn of human divinity.' Again thcro
dovelops a strain of the fantastic Wells
of yore; but a minor demon no sooner
nppenrs on earth searching for tho Lost
Asses of the Devil than ho finds himself
cmbnrked on a hunt for German militar
ists and their English counterparts who
nro "mewing for blood" and praying for
the "closest, silliest. loudest Imitation
of Prussian swagger" on Englnnd's rart.
And to cap It comes a little masterpiece
of irony, "Tho Last Trump."
But nil this hilarity, this Jovial dis
guise of thoughtfulness," is not the finest
Impression you enrry away. It Is tho
portrait of Boon himself. Blatantly suc
cessful, pltcously unsatisfied, struggling
ludicrously with tho Burge of bigger
things, rising to triumphant moments of
elaborate self-expression which bore his
hearers. Boon Is another Ponderevo of
"Tono Bungay," another of those great
portraits of vaunting middle-aged genius
cribbed, broken but loved, In this mud
dled world of counting-house glories.
The Woman Movement
Ellen Key writ's of "The Woman
Movement" (Putnam, N. V. In the bigger
senso or tne worn not as a Historical
sketch on suffrage or somo minor phase.
To her, motherhood, homo-making, etc.,
give the truest development to woman,
a vlow which she reiterates In most of
her works. She Justifies her belief that
tho now movement, if properly developed,
win havo largo "external" and "Internal"
results to tho woman herself. And In
her uaunl keen and somewhat Idealistic
temper she comments upon tho Influences
these developments will have on men and
women In general, single women, daughters,-marriage-
and motherhood.

America's Part in Peace
Thnso who havo read Norman Angolt'a
"Great Illusion" nnd "Amies and Indus
try" will probably find a good deal of old
material In "America and tho New World
Stato" (Putnnm, New York),' at least
thoy will recognlzo Mr. Angell's method
of thought nnd sco ono of his greatest
defects his habit of redundancy. Those
who havo already criticised him for his
thcoretlcnl turn of mind will be ablo to
do so ngaln. But ho who appreciates
Mr. Angell's new economy will ilnd tho
usual originality and keenness of thought
nnd nnnlysls. and will bo thoroughly In
terested In his contributions to tho prob
lem that Is confronting America ns a
probable mediator In tho great European
struggle.
Wo can readily Imagine tho lmpatlcnco
with which our mllltnrlstlc lenders greet
the theories which Mr. Angell puts for
ward: That nntlons havo not tried to
reach a better understanding of national
relations, but that thoy seek bettor nrms,
"not mnchlnery for the settlement of dif
ficulties with other nntlons, but machin
ery for their destruction." And oven
mnny quiet people who cling Bo dcs-
perntciy to tne idea of nonintervention
cannot see, until Mr. Angell presents his
case, that tho part of tho United States
could piny In settling disputes can be
anti-military In character.
World-organization and constructive
lendershli) nro Mr. Angell's plans for
America's legitimate Intervention. Lack
of traditions, great material resources
nnd a gift for Improvised organization are
nmple rensons for her to undcrtnke the
tnsk. And the fact that America Is young
will njvo tho old European Powers little
renson to suspect her of unfairness and
Jealousy.
Prolific Z'ane Grey
Zane Grey will not add materially to
his reputation by "Tho Ilalubow Trail"
(Harper & Brothers, Now York). He la
writing entirely too much, nnd tho popu
larity gained through "Riders of tho
Purple Sago" and "The Light of Stars"
will dwindle, as tho result, of a swift
succession of novels of inferior plotting,
characterization and construction.
"The Itnlnbow Trail" Is tho third Zane
Grey novel of this season. It Is described
as "a story of great adventure nnd
greater love." Well, tho adventuro Is as
crude as that of Ned Buntllne nnd the
tovo as sentimental as Laura Jean Lib
bey. Zane Grey's public demands better
things; It knows he can deliver them.
