Left Charleroi Too Soon

London. August 25.-(2:10 a. m.)-The Daily Telegraphs Paris correspondent telegraphing Sunday, sends a letter dated o'clock Sunday afternoon in Jeumont, department of Nord, France, which says: T left Charleroi last nigbt for Jeumont on the French forntier and a moment too soon. This very morning the engineers of the Northern railway ,iue witnessed an attack on Charleroi.
 Germans from the outskirts of the upper town were sending shells on the railway station and on .he salient parts of the lower town. They were trying to force passage across the river bridges F'ugitives from all sides arrived here by the last trains.
 After o'clock this afternoon guns were distinctly heard first from the os- rection of Charleroi and then Theuin. The Germans were being met by the English. This is the beginning of the great battle that has been expected"
 The same writer in a letter sent Fri day from Charleroi says:
 The Germans are advancing over a line of nearly 100 miles. spreading out in a formidable fan-like movement, pre- ceded by swarms of scouts in all direc- tions which sweep the country from Brussels to Arlon, 15 miles northwest of Luxemburg. The German hordes are on the march over five different >outes to- ward France. They will find men to meet them. Our troops, in conformity with the plan laid down, are harrassing them on the right and left banks of the Mouse. keeping in constant contact and killing as many members of the scouting parties ss possible.
 T witnessed Friday series of engage nlents outside Charleroi. I saw our out posts everywhere. I saw now and then troopers coming in bringing prisoners Our cavalry was in splendid form and eager for action.
 Guns Are Heard
 At o'clock this afternoon guns were heard in the north The Germans coming from Eghezee, had placed heavy batter les of siege guns in position before Ma mur. The Namur forts immediately sent in such a murderously accurate fire in reply that in less than half an hour a German battery was silenced and half its guns demolished.
 Another line of attack chosen by the Germans was between Braine LAlleud and Genappe, southeast of Brussels, over . front toward Coronation gulf"
 The dispatch adds that two surveyors from Dr. Anderson's ship at Collinson Point arrived at Fort McPherson over the ice and left by boat to survey the delta down the river. They reported that Dr. Anderson would go along the coast toward Coronation gulf looking for Ste- fansson. There is no word as yet from Captain Bartlett, who set out on the United States steamer Bear from Nome in search of the men scattered by the crushing of the Stefansson's steamer Karluk.

Thousands of Idle Women

In Berlin the labor bureaus are unable to find employment for the crowds of women who besiege them. Right and left the people are dismissing domestic serv- ants and crowds of girls are now offer ing their services in exchange for bare board and lodging
 The newspapers are ridiculing the Czar's historic proclamation regarding Poland and Prof. Ernst Haeclxel, the well known Darwinian, who not long ago celebrated his eightieth birthday, has written an angry illumination against 'England' s Blood Guiltiness.'

Paints Terrible Picture

London Cable to the New York Times.
 The Cologne Gazette, at hand tonight, paints a terrible picture of the condi- tion of industrial workers in Berlin, say ing:
 "A conference has been held at the ministry of the interior to discuss the great lack of employment among the women of Berlin. The stores have dis missed most of their employees and will soon dismiss more. Most of the women clerks, typewriters and assistants had been discharged because their employers are at the war or are ruined.
 ''The costume trade is at a standstill and the home workers are starving. The textile industry is suffering fearfully and is dismissing it's workers. mostly women, by crowds. Other factories must shut up because the army mobilization has taken away their male workers
 '"rhe women who run boarding houses and let rooms are ruined. At the con ference it was complained that the ruth lessness of the rich was reducing unnum- bered women to misery, and they were eXhorted not to dismiss their servants or restrict their expenditure.
 ''The town of Gelsenkirchen has bought s150000 worth of foodstuffs to be sold through shops at fair prices. Duisberg has set apart S250,o00 for the poor. It is estimated that there are 1000 families each with three children that will need help, which will cost the town s5O,0OO a month. Each family receives $6.75 a month from the imperial treasury and the same amount from the municipal treasury"
 Food Scarcity in Berlin
 All the German newspapers received here tonight make interesting reading although evidently under iron censor. ship. They indicate, for one thing, thai the economic disturbance in the father land already is having disastrous ef fects The pinch of food scarcity is be ing felt in Berlin and other large towns and the police have had to intervene 1T some places between provision dealers and customers
 Not only is Germany practically cut of from postal communication with the res of the world but various parts of tn, empire are suffering from the entire dis location of the railways. Even betweei the most important centres ony one mai train is possible in AS hours. No good. | can be forwarded from Berlin to Stettii or any western centre without a specia permit, and in the Rhenish province various lines of business have been close, down owing to lack of supplies

SOME FRESH STORIES OF
 EUROPES GREAT WAR

Dutch, however, are not satisfied with these precautions. as the water courses might freeze as in the past Therefore, behind the Muden- -Gorkum line seven block forts or Qualifications have been erected at intervals of two miles and there are also Qualifications at Nieu- werhus.
 Behind the water line of defense there are more block forts at intervals of two or three miles, strengthened with bat teries
 "A block fort is a redout only intended for quick firing guns of light ca1ibre and is not constructed with the idea of re- sisting heavy projectiles, which owing to the broad stretches of water, could only with difficulty be used
 'The fighting forts are protected by concrete roofs and iron cupolas from the fire of howitzers and mortars.
 They are also supplied with artillery capable of resting seize guns.
 Southern Frontier Defended
 Tn a stimilar manner the Dutch are protected equally along the southern from tier from Gorkum to Brielle.
 "As 1t is estimated that every kilo- metre requires for it's defense 1000 men, about 10000 men are required for this region This is the precise strength of the present Dutch army which should
  against forces double it's strength"
 WOman's Experience in France From the New York Herald.
 Miss Gertrude Robinson Smith, chair man of the vacation committee of the va- cation savings fund for working girls, was kept busy yesterday at her office. No. SS West Thirty-ninth street, telling of her experiences in France after war had been declared.
 Miss Smith and her family were on an automobile tour at Annecy, which is near the German and Swiss border, when war was declared. They procured their pass ports from the prefect of police and ad- ditional ones from the military com mander of the town. The latter aided them considerably in their flight across France to Havre, where they embarked on board a steamship for the United States.
 The day after war was declared" Miss Smith said, i've decided to go on to Havre. That morning when we made preparations to leave we found that our chauffeur, a Frenchman, had left us to go to the front and fight There was nothing left for me to do, but drive the automobile myself after we had inquired everywhere imaginable for someone to do it. It took us just five days to cover S0 miles between Annecy and Havre, and 1 must say I enjoyed the trip. We were held up, I should say, about To times to show our passports and in each instance we received the finest sort of treatment. The soldiers and officers were all gentlemen and treated US with respect.
 Tt was very interesting to me to watch the actual mobilization of the French troops. The quietness and calm with which everything was done amazed me. They must have been preparing for the order to mobilize for many months 1 would not have missed that trip for any thing I can think of at the present mo- ment."

Hollands Best Friend

London Cable to the New York World
 The Standard has received the following from its Rotterdam correspondent:
 Although providence has given the Dutch an ever-present enemy in the north-the Zuyder Zee, which so fre- quently has dealt death and destruction to the peaceful plains of Holland-they have also in these fields trusty friend which at any moment they can summon to their assistance. The country may flood itself.
 Holland is well prepared against an invasion of its frontier on the German border about 200 miles long, and the northern portions could easily be defended by the filling with water of numerous mora sses and bogs
 The coast along the North sea, owing to the want of harbors. is practically in- accessible and the Zuyder Zee, being shal- low, is capable of being closed by forti- fled works outside of Helder. Forty miles of the eastern front is now de- tended by the fortresses Muiden and Naarden in the centre of the Utrecht region and IS forts aid the batteries to- ward the south of Gorkum
 Country Easy to Flood
 ''Then there is closed canal system arranged in such manner that the whole region of Muiden and Gorkum may be flooded for: miles. This is easy, as the greater portion of the land in the area to be flooded is below sea level. The

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and iustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, Is caused by lack of sui
phur in the hair Our grandmother
made UP a mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark I'd
beautiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade of hair
which is so attractive, use only this
time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair so naturally, so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell 1t has been
applied. Besides, 1t takes off dan
druff, stops scalp itching and falling
hair You just dampen sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears: but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that besides beauti-
fully darkening the hair after few
applications, 1t also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives it an APP
pearance of abundance. Advertise
