proved most beneficial.
AS matter of fact the one report
received by the Department was an
unofficial and unsolicited statement

be gone and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy, every single sign and
trace Of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.

APPEAL ISSUED BY
GERMAN EMPEROR

London, Aug. ga Berlin dispatch
sent by the Wolff bureau and reach
ing here by way of Rotterdam, says
that Emperor William has directed the
following telegram to his ministry:
Main Headquarters, Aug. 27.-The
trials to which royal province of East
Prussia is subjected by the invasion
of Russians fills me with the greatest
compassion, but | know the courage of
my East Prussians too well not to
know that they are ever ready to
throw themselves on the altar of the
fatherland and will readily give their
blood and wealth for the sake of their
country, and manfulIy bear the hard
ships of war.
Confidence in the irresistible might
of our heroic army and mistaken be-
lief in the help of a living God, togeth-
er with the consciousness that we are
fighting for a worthy cause, should
give US faith in an early delivery of
Germany from its enemies.
81 wish that everything possible
shall be done by the German people
for those East Prussians who are
obliged to leave their homes. With
this in view, charge my ministry and
the various state authorities to assist
in the work of relief. Take thorough
measures for this purpose and report
to me what has been done.

TELLS OF SLAUGHTER
AT AlTKlRGH FIGHT

Paris.-Private Jean Martin, who
has been invaded home, told LIE
Matin how the French took Altkirch,
in lower Alsace. Here is his story:
Approaching Altkirch I received my
baptism Of fire and lost the comrade
who shared my bed. A bullet struck
the poor little chap full in the face.
He never spoke again.
After a whole days maneuvering
we came near Altkirch, which is COM
manded by a ridge. We advanced,
our regiment being the center of the
line. Our artillery was blazing away.
When we reached the top of the ridge
we saw at our feet a slope covered
with cultivated fields. At the foot of
the declivity were the station and
town.
What a descent that was in Skin
mishing order among the potatoes
and mangel-wurzels. What music ac-
companied US of bullets whistling
whistling from all sides.
Grand Dieu, what a whistling there
was!
The Germans held excellent posi-
lions. In the outskirts beyond the
town some of their mitrailleuses
(ouickfire guns) came into action,
but things were going well for US, all
the same.
We continued to advance under
hail of bullets. Then the charge"
sounded and the whole brigade
dashed forward with bayonets fixed.
The enemy abandoned their posi-
tions and retired.
That evening we slept in Altkirch,
my company being in the cemetery.
In the second battle next day the
One Hundred and Ninth and One Hun
dred and Tenth Grenadiers, who, it
was said, were commanded by one Of
the imperial princes, tried to drive us
out. For a long time the action was
undecided Suddenly the grenadiers
gave way.
We were in the edge Of the wood,
only 200 yards from the enemy. With
a volIey we dropped the complete line
of them, but a new line appeared i'm
mediately.
1t was a slaughter Suddenly the
bugle call sounded their retreat.
A battlefield is a terrible sight. I
am almost ashamed that / looked up
on this one with almost savage pride.
