Africa have adopted an address to
King George, In which they state:
While deeply deploring the outbreak
of the war. we are convinced that par

empire, and we respectfully desire to
be allowed to express our approval Of
the action taken in defense of the
principles of liberty and justice, and
Of the integrity and sanctity of inter-
national obligations"
The conviction furthermore is ex-
pressed in the address that the en-

gigantic struggle, and that the conflict
will be succeeded by IAN era of benef-

The address concludes with declara-
ton of continued loyalty and devo-

Cling them that homes far away from

The plan of housing children outside

the news in two ways. The German
guns were silent and from the wounded
who poured dom to the bases.
The wounded men We're no longer
Gown-hearted but eager to rejon the fray.
On every French lip WAS the exclama-
tion that they are in full retreat and
they are rushing back home and in the
same breath came generous recognition
of the great help given by the British
army.
Il am convinced that the full extent of
this rout is not yet appreciated in Eng
land. II was of truly terrific character
and such blow will not fail to have a
lasting effect.
THE number of wounded entailed
colossal transportation work I myself
counted fifteen trains in eight hours
carrying a fine grim set of men. terri
officers.
"The enemy crossed the Marine on the
return journey north under great difficult
ties and beneath 4 whitening fire from
me British troops, who pursued them
hotly. The German artillery operated
from 4 height. there was again much
iand-to-hand fighting. and the river was
swollen With dead.
Tuesday night the British were in pos

Chateau Thierry and the Germans had
fallen back forty miles, aving a long
train Of spoils behind them.
