Arising Out Of Battle Of Charleroi.
LONDON, Sept. Il.
Lord Kitchener has been at the front

visit, during which he was away from the
War Office for two days and a half was
to confer with Field Marshal Sir John
French. in command of the British ex-
peditionary forces. and General Joffrc
ommander-in-chief of the French army.
1t is known that for some time there
has been considerable difference of Opin-
ion between the British and French lead
crs arising out of the retreat of the al
lies after the battle Of Charleroi. So
acute did the feeling become between tho
TWO leaders that Lord Kitchener deemed
il necessary to Intervene personally.
which he did successfully.
In connection with Lord Kitchener's
absence from London this week the Of
fetal Press Bureau requested the London
newspapers not TO make any mention of
this movement. In fact. the day after
he left the Press Bureau issued
bulletin to tho effect that Lord Kitch-
cner visited the King at Buckingham
Palace today
This Was for the purpose of preventing
a leakage of news of Lord Kitchener's
presence at the front, news in which Rer.
lin would have been greatly interested
However, five minutes after the bulletin
was issued, the Press Bureau told the
newspaper correspondents that the item
was not true, but hoped that the news
papers would not deem it necessary to
withdraw the bulletin. which none did
II is an instance OF the frank way in
which the British officials take the news
papers into their confidence.

that the Kaisers war machine was

stronger than at any time since the
retreat began. But they are still re-

pressure on their eastern lines through
Luxembourg and the territory south is
very great.

lnaaofa That Walk on Water.

Insects that walk on the water BY
means nf pneumatic floats are the ia
miliar water and the pond skater spi-
der. Not many people know why they
can walk on the water. The pond
skater really walks on pneumatic
floats. There are tiny hairs on the
feet of this insect, SO fine that they
cannot be seen, that are arranged to
collect air. The amount collected in
and about these hairs is sufficient to
allow the insect to float or walk upon
the surface of the water. As each foot
Is put down it forms a cuplike depres-
sion or tiny pit in the water. The foot
does not sink because the air bubble
that has been formed is too light to let
1t. A fine covering Of hair protects the
water spider, too. and evenfif it is sub
merged in the water it is never really
wet. The hair keeps a layer Of air be-
tween its body and the water. 1t looks
like white pearl when below the sur
face. The scientific name Of this Curl
GUS insect is the velia currens. Chi
