devils against whom it Is impossible to
fight. A zouave. with gun, bayonet
fixed. is the most internal thing that
can be described.
Savage cries of pain and Of anger
resounded thru the wood. A great
many men fell there and saturated the
ground with blood Soon the French
artillery came into action and its pro-
jectiles completed the work of the bay
onet. Our men beat a retreat at full
speed across the wood in flames. Those
who had escaped the bayonet fell under
the rain Of bullets and lay burning in
the tickets. Only sixty men OF my
regiment returned. or the other only
eleven came back. and of the seventy-
one survivors, all were more or less
grievously wounded.
Il followed the campaign in Man
churia, but think in the course of the
first five days Of the battle of the
Marne, more victims fell than were
counted in the battles Of Mukden and
Of Liao-Yang."
Another evidence of the murderous
character Of the fighting in this battle
is furnished by q French soldiers let

'boches' (Germans) are strongly en-
trenched. For ten davs we occupied
trenches only 400 yards from theirs.
and they did all that was humanity pos
sible to break thru. They charged as
many as ten times day and at night
they tried to approach by creeping
along the ground But all their assaults
were repelled with great slaughter;
5000 German bodies were left in front
Of our trenches.
AFTER every repulse each Of our men
grabbed two or three mausers with
ammunition from the bodies of the
dead and stood them alongside In the
trenches, and when the enemy came
back he was received by fire from !.is
own weapons.
ITO guard against surprise at night
we took all the empty beef cans. tied
them to a cord and piled them so that
when the Germans came creeping
toward our lines and the cord was
touched, they made enough noise to
give the alarm. One night when the
cans ratified. we replied with immediate
volleys and there was no more dis
turbance that night. In the morning
we counted 500 dead Germans lying
on the ground within hundred yards
OF the trenches.

London, Nov. 2O-The attorney gem
eral, Sir John A. Simon. introduced in
the house Of commons today an inter-
esting amendment to the act covering
trsding with the enemy. He said his
aim was to stop the transmission Of
money or credit which would be ad-
vantageous to the enemy. Everybody
holding property in trust such as dlvi-
dends, profits. ETC.. belonging to the
empire in Germany, Austria or Turkey
would henceforth be required under
penalty to pay these profits to public
trustee.
The attorney general explained that

low rather than above the real num-

The intention is to duplicate the
territorial force, one for home defense
and the other for foreign service.
The idea that Lord Kitchener's army
OF recruits should be treated unlike the
professional soldiers, moved Mr.. Ten
nent to say:
The chief characteristic Of Lord
Kitchener is not sentiment nor even
persuasive eloquence. These advocates
Of differential treatment would make
him change his decision in matter on
which he feels stlSngly."
Tea Expectation Stopped.
Great Britain today prohibited the
expectation of tea to all continental
ports except those Of the countries Of

This prohibition Is due to indications
that Germany is receiving large sup
