The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-10-18

At 4:40. Q few miles to the northeast of Mareuil- l-sur-O -Ourcq, we came upon q very wide, flat field which had been n German camp. From the quantity of space that had been occupied I should judge that a great many thousand men had been camped there. The place was scattered with tin cans, straw, bottles
 and other waste of the same nature. The only materials of war that the Germans

Gathering Point for Struggle


 Meantime I put in one of the most in teresting hours I have ever spent. The little town of Courmelles was being used as gathering point for stragglers, men who had been lost from their commands, and men whose commands had been cut up by the Germans. The gendarmerie were in charge of this motley crew of wayfarers, who were evidently being held here until orders should be received for them to return to the front. If Detaille had been there he could have added an- other masterpiece to his gallery of war time pictures.
 A gendarme, in his liver-trimmed uni- form of blue, had just ridden into the town. He had backed his mud-bespat- tered horse under the portals of an en- trance that led to courtyard. He was standing there reading over his order book with French-Algerian zouave, small man with baggy red pantaloons who was holding many-colored shawl over his head to keep off the rain. Four pairs of legs were protruding into the entrance from the sides and I saw that they be- lenged to three Arabs and a Senegalese, the latter being one of the blackest darkies l have ever seen. They could not understand the conversation, but were seated there with their backs against the wall, in their grimy campaign outf1ts, 1 looking up and grinning at the gendarme. l 10 the rlRQL was lnc NlAld6S iiCdus1uAi~ l ters, where sentry in infantry uniform stood talking to a group of soldiers of all branches of the service some of whom were assisting the loading of small supply wagon. Still further to the right was a little open square where number | of horses were picketed. In front of them squatted several Algerians in their tur- bans, which once were white. They seemed obiivious of the rain as well as ] the cannonading the concussion of which were rattling every windowpane that was l left in the little town of Courmelles Eager for Tobacco

The Arabs and Senegalese could speak no French all they knew was "tabac! tabac!' and 'Merci!" gave the French-Algerian xouave several packages of cigarettes and a number of cigars. for which he seemed extremely grateful He also seemed very lonesome and walked around with me tn- ouiring if I had heard any news of in- terest in Paris. told him all the rumors that had heard in the city just before my departure.
