Members of the General Staff in pri-
lVate conversation have manifested alb
solute confidence in the outcome of
the battle in France as their own
army is steadily growing stronger and
the lines of communication have been
adjusted to permit of a more efficient
supply of provisions and ammunition,
| it having rather outrun its supply ar
arrangements In the rapid advance on
| Paris.
The French army according to the
night bulletin is showing signs of hav-
ing shot its bolt and has fought itself
to a standstill, being unable to fill its
depleted ranks like the Germans. The
/ Germans, according to last nights bull
letin. are slowly but surely gaining
ground in the center.
The headquarters announcements
still give no definite information re-
garding the position of the battle line.
lcontenting themselves with speaking

his observers had safely landed with

Foot Guards, was killed in the battle
near ChalonS.
Herman Wendell, the Socialist mem
ber of the Reichstag, who caused a
sensation during the budget debate by
closing his speech with the words:
Long live France" has volunteered

He writes to the Socialist organ that
he could not sit quietly before the fire
while the whole nation was lighting
for its existence. He said he wished
during his service to work by word
and deed for the cause of humanity
which was sadly neglected in war
time.
Shower of Arrows
A shower of steel arrows. released
by French aViators over a mile high
in the air. is the most modern terror
of war, according to accounts of Ger
man wounded, printed in the Munich
Medical Weekly. The arrows which
are of pressed steel from four to six
inches long and a quarter of an inch
in diameter, have a heavy pointed
head and a skeletonized shaft. The ar
rows seem TO have caused more sur
prise than actual damage. Only one
man was killed by a head wound in
the attack described, the other caus-
ing mostly flesh wounds.
The regiment 10 which the wounded
belong, resting in close battalion for
nation, paid little attention to two
aViators circling a mile overhead un-
til the novel projectile suddenly rained
down, scattering far and wide. Men
were wounded in three companies. The
battery in the rear, at first nonplussed,
later realized the source of the mis-
siles and as many as possible crawled
under the wagons and escaped another
shower of them.
Crown Prince George and Prince
Frederick Christian of SaXony have
been awarded the crown cross.
