London. Aug 29.-The pond :
ent of the Express at Boulogne wires
that preparations are being made
there in anticipation of a cavalry raid
on the town. He says:
The German troops are advancing
in North France and Boulogne is max

notice was posted this morning on
the sub procedures and the headquar-
tiers of the gendarmerie. stating that
the troops had been Withdrawn and
calling on the inhabitants to remain
calm. preserve order and make any
sacrifices necessary for the good of
their country.
II am told the customs officials left
Boulogne Friday morning and that the
officials of the city administration are
ready 10 leave. Since Thursday night
the town has been absolutely deserted
by visitors. Some Of the inhabitants
are leaving. but as yet there has been
no general exodus.
The story is that Uhlans who may
be the vanguard of a large body of
cavalry, are within thirty miles of the
town.
The boat which left Boulogne Fri
day afternoon was filled with people,
some of whom were British. The boat
was unable to wait for the usual train
from Paris, which was held up some
where along the line. I am told that
a number of British wounded are ex
pected by this train.
Several more wounded British SOL
diers left Boulogne Friday morning on
the early boat for Folkestone. They
included one airman, who had both
legs broken by a shot fired at him
while he was in the air.
The only vessels here are fishing
boats. The usual four o'clock boat
left F'olkestone for Boulogne and up
to a late hour at night, no announce
ment had been made that cross chan
mel service had been stopped"

hordes of Uhlans seemed suddenly to

Through the town they galloped
with an amazing disregard for them
selves and up to the very muzzles of

British stood their ground until armed

made their appearance with rapid fire
guns mounted on them. Towards 2

PERSONAL STORY OF
ONE WOUNDED SOLDIER

London, Aug 29-The Chronicles
Boulogne correspondent sends the per-
sonal story of a wounded soldier who
has arrived there and who declared
he was one of thirty survivors of a
British company of 1000 troops who
were practically wiped out by the Ger
man artillery. His story follows:
we were five solid days in the
trenches and moved backwards and
forwards all that time with the vary
ing tide Of battle.
1T was about two o'clock in the
morning when the en- dcame Things
had got quieter and our officers came
along the line and told us to get some
sleep. We were preparing to obey
when a light or something else gave
US away and we found ourselves in
an inferno of bullets.
We could do nothing Down upon
us Nhe shrapnel hailed and we fell by
the score. Practically at the same the
enenly's nlaxirns opened fire. We were
almost without shelter when we were
caught and we crawled along In front
to find cover
Leave everything and retire was
the order and we did what we could
to obey. I don't know how long it
lasted, but when dawn came I could
not see more than thirty men left in
the various sections Of the field. Thirty
at the most were left out of about
1000.
Il wandered about from the others
and eventually found myself at
with a single companion. That was
the first time the German artillery
really got us. AS a rule their gun
fire was mighty poor
