Experimentation.
Continued From Yesterday
All at once, tragic to relate, at left
of the English, and on our right, the
head of the column of cuirassiers
reared with a frightful clamor Ar
rived at the eliminating point of the
crest, unmanageable, full of fury, and
bent upon the determination of the
squares and cannons, the cuirassierS
saw between themselves and the En-
glish ditch-a grave. 1t was the
sunken road of Chain.
1t was a frightful moment. There
was the ravine, unlocked for, yawn-'
ing at the very feet of the horses, two
fathoms deep between its double
slopes. The second rank pushed in
the first, the third pushed in the sec
ond; the horses reared, threw them
selves over, fell upon their backs and
struggled with their feet in the air,
piling up and overturning their
riders; no power to retreat. The
whole column was nothing but a
projectile. The force acquired to
crush the English crushed the
French.
The memorable raVine could not
yield until it was filled; riders and
horses rolled in together peII-melI,
grinding each other, making common
flesh in this dreadful gulf; and when
the grave was full of living men, the
rest rode over them and passed on.
Almost a third of Dubois brigade
sank into this abyss. Here the Joss
of the battle began.
A local tradition, which evidently
exaggerates, says that 1000 horses
and 1,500 men were buried in the

Sunken road of Chain. This I'M
doubtedly comprises all the other
bodies thrown into this ravine on the
morrow after the battle.
Napoleon, before ordering this
charge of Milhaud's culrassiers, had
examined the ground, but could not
see this hollow road, which did not
make even a wrinkle on the surface
of the plateau. Warned, however,
and put on his guard by the little
white chapel which marks its juno
ton with the Nivelles road, he had,
probably on the contingency of an
obstacle, put question to the guide
Lacoste. The guide had answered
mo" 1t may almost be said that
from this shake of a peasants head
came the catastrophe of Napoleon.
At the same time with the raVine,
the artillery was unmaske6 Sixty
cannon and the Is squares Numbered
and flashed into the cuirassiers. The
brave General Delord gave the mill
tary salute to the English battery.
All the English flying artillery took
position in the squares at a gaIlop.
The cuirassiers had not even time to
breathe. The disaster of the sunken
road had decimated but not discour-
aged them. They were men who, di-
minished in numbers, grew greater
in heart.
Wathier's column alone had suffer-
ed from the disaster. DeIord's, which
Ney had sent obIiqueIy to the left, as
if he had presentiment of the snare,
arrived entire. The cuirassiers hun-
ed themselves upon the English
squares. At full gaIIop, with free
rein, their sabers in their teeth and
their pistols in their hands, the attack
began.
There are moments in battle when
the soul hardens a man, even to
changing the soldier into a statue,
and all his flesh becomes granite The

Fate of WARSAW Depends
On Present FIGHTING

LONDON, Dec. 1S.--The most des'
perate lighting of the entire eastern
campaign Is now developing on line
within 80 miles OF the city Of War
saw.
Berlin Is celebrating what Is &C
cepted there az great victory over
the Russians as the result OF an on.
cial statement that the enemy's often
completely broken down. From Petro-
grad reports have come tha&the Rus
sian lines south of the vistula have
been drawn back nearer Warsaw for
strategic reasons. II Ia evident how
ever, that the battle upon which the
fate OF Warsaw may rest Is only now
approaching climax.
The German Official statement Is
regarded here az covering the cam
paign from more Of defensive stand
point than an offensive. BY forcing
the Russians TO retreat not only In
Central Poland but on the southern
line, the Germans have relieved the
danger Of invasion Of their territory.
BY establishing their main position
about Sochaczew, the Russians have
reiterated 10 miles from the How
Lowicz line. The Germans are today
reported to be vigorously Smelling the
Russian positions and the important
railroad town which the cars army is
now guarding has already been dam
aged.
The German force engaged in the
main advance upon Warsaw Is now
said to number more than 100000
men. The Russians have an even
greater force and relnforcements are
being rushed to the battle regions.
Sochaczew Is the last town OF i'm
portance. between the Germans and
Warsaw. The capture OF this posi-
ton would give them control of the
railroad leading direct to the Polish
capital, as well as the lines running
westward through Lowicz and to the
German frontier.
On the southern front, the Russians
claimed to have checked the Austrians
advancing through the Dukla pass
from the Carpathians. but In this re-
gion es wells as about Cracow engage
men's OF the greatest importance are
developing. The Austro- German forces
operating In the region OF Pietrkow
are believed to have driven the Rus
slams back and by keeping these
forces engaged have prevented rein
forcements being sent northward.
