IS A WAR OF MACHINES
MEN TURN HANDLES WHICH
SEND i'ORTH DEATH.
Many Soldiers Are Found Dead With
No Wounds, Having Been Suffo-
Gated by Milinite Fumes.

In an interview at Paris Monday
a wounded officer said to war CORE
spondent:
This is not a war Of men; 1t is a
war of machines. There is an ap-
palling soullessness about it that is
savagely inhruan. Men turn handles
and death flies out in large bundles.
That is what this battle has been. 1t
is all really one battle on the Marne
and the Aisne.
"No one can even conceive what
the battle has been who has not seen
the battlefield. Men could never kill
one another by heaps and hecatomos.
They would sicken at such wholesale
slaughter. They would cry: We
are soldiers, not butchers. A battle
field would not be an abattoir. Ouly
machines ingeniously constructed to
destroy men as locusts have to be de-
stroyed when they sweep over fertile
land, only automatic death dealers
without heart, pity or remorse could
carpet the earth with the dead IN
this frightful way
Another witness to the terrific
slaughter which is not yet generally
realized told me that the French
shells burst with terrific effect and
tear legs and arms to pieces. If the
wound is in the head or stomach it
is all over. This soldier added:
''It is quite true, too. that many
men have been found dead without
any wound. We find them as we so
over the fields of battle kneeling or
sitting in the trenches in a natural
attitude just as if they were still
alive, just as they knelt or sat when
q shell burst and in, an instant suffo-
Gated them with the melinite fumes. y
A Red Cross nurse, clever, busi-
ness-like French woman, who had eX-
perience in the Balkan war, said:
Germany must be one vast hospital
and France is beginning to be the
same. I have just travelled from the
Atlantic coast right through the cen
ter of France and saw wounded
everywhere.
ALREADY beds are becoming
scarce, though fortunately there are
so many slightly wounded, that is,
cleanly injured, that they recover
quickly and make room for new
comers. But it brings home the i'm
mensity of the struggle to see every
available school, institution and pub
lie hall turned into hospital, as well
as every big railway station and num-
berless private houses

artillery fire was more active. The
only infantry attacks made by the
enemy were on our extreme right,
and were repulsed with heavy loss,
chiefly by our field artillery.
ITO convey some idea of the ma
ture of the fighting it may be said
that along the greater part Of our
front the Germans have been driven
back from the forward slopes on the
north of the river. Their infantry
is holding strong lines of trenches
amongst and along the edges Of the
numerous woods which crown the
slopes. These trenches are. elaborate
ly constructed and cleverly conceal
ed.
I'm many places there were wire
entanglements. Both woods and open
are carefully aligned, so they can be
swept by guns invisible from our side
of the valley. The German line in
front of the infantry trenches, as a
rule, also is under cross fire from the
field artillery.
a feature of this action is the use
by the enemy of their numerous
heavy howitzers, with which they can
direct long range fire along the valley
and right across it.
The bombardment by both sides
has been heavy, and on Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday was continuous. De-
spite the general din caused by the
immense number of heavy guns in
action on Wednesday, the arrival Of
the French force. acting against the
German right flank, was announced
