the entertainments were reached, behind
,.h;ch were living the shattered remnants
IF the fifty-ninth and fifty-eighth Land
wehr. =,
front on a run. The French gunners had
barely time to run around a corner before
the Landwehr were upon them. When the
French made their last stand they fought
like devils in the narrow way of the village,
and used their mitraIlleuses with Judgment
and effect, but the steady advance of the
Landwehr with the bayonet cleared the vii
lage of all save the victors.
The dead and wounded Landwehr nave
the credit of checking the rush OF the
French advance by holding the village un
til thew had not man who could stand or
fire needle gun. To them. also. was en-
trusted the grand final advance which
swept the French ont of the villages,
as if they were 10000 instead OF l00 men.
The French sent their infantry swarming
into it, while clouds of smoke were visible
all around the valley. On the right front
the batteries at ScmecOurt were hard at
work and also others nearer the town, while
the great guns at FremecOurt were sending
shells at low range right over London
Champs, in among the advancing French.
Then on our left. at AmedOnge, two other
batteries were maintaining semi-cross fire,
and from the bluff on the other side Of the
MOselle, between Olgy and Molroy.
The Prussian field artillery were roaring.
The attack Oh Ladonchamps was diversion.
Suddenly the villages Of Grandes and
Petites Tapes, Of StenOy and Make, were
overwhelmed by a cataract of Frenchmen.
The fifty-ninth Landwehr, in StenOy,
would not fall back, as it should have done
in common prudence, but stood up there in
the street until the French, having played
upon it with artillery and rained chassepots
and mitrailleurs bullets and finally pushed
backward the shattered remnant by dint of
sheer numbers.

ceeded to the front of the mansion in Schut-
zen Park. where the Steuben monument
