riblo Surprise OH the Field of For
mcr Battle.

London, Oct. 1.--Du. ing the STRAIT
egical retreat of the allies southward
from the Belgian frontier the French
troops eXacted from the Germans
bloody revenge for the French defeat
at Sedan. A years before. ~
On this same battlefield, according
to The Nails Paris correspondent, the
Germans suffered one of the worst de-
feats Of their present invasion. They
were led into a trap which cost them
thousands Of men, he says. The
French could have held their position
indefinitely, but strategy required
them to continue falling back with the
remainder Of the allies along the
line. Here is the story of the Sec
ond battle of Sedan told the corre-
spondent: THE French general or
dered his troops to fall back across
the river and take up positions on the
opposite heights. The bridges were
mined, but were left standing in or
der to deceive the Germans into
thinking that the French were retreat
ling hastily. The ruse succeeded. The
Germans advanced across the bridges
In close formation. When several
German regiments had crossed the
French blew up the bridges and the
French artillery started firing at q
hundred German columns which re-
treated hastily to the river only to
find the bridges gone.
The French regiments then ad-
vanced with quick firers and the mer-
ciless Staying continued until dusk.
Many Germans threw down their
arms and attempted to swim the riv-
e. and large numbers were drowned.
When nightfall came the French
brought up searchlights and contin-
ued the work Of carnage.
"The artillery threw shells at the
rate of u dozen rounds a minute into
the German ranks and varied it's tao
tics by throwing incendiary shells i;t,,
the forest where part of the German
force had taken refuge The burning
woods lit up the whole front Of Is
miles.
in the morning an armistice Of tw 0
hours were granted to allow the Ger.
mans to bury their dead. The French
had suffered the loss of only hand

Germans Fall i'm TraD.

London, Oct. "A graphic account
Of the Illustration Of an attempt by
the Germans to cross the Niemen river
is given by The Daily Telegraph's
PetroSrad correspondent:
THE Germans appear to have fallen
into a Russian trap" the correspond
ent says. 'On September % the rear
guard of Gen. Rennekampf's Russian
army was transferred to the right
bank of the Nicmen river and the
following evening the Germans ap-
preached the stream. The next day,
seeing no signs of opposition, the Ger
mans constructed -pontoon bridges and
completed this work without rholesta-
ton.
1t was only when the troops were
pouring across in fancied security that
dozens of Russian guns, cleverly
screened, opened their concentrated
fire on the crowded bridges. Before
the blast of shrapnel and machine gun
projectiles the Germans were swept
into the river by hundreds. However,
the challenge of the Russians was
taken up by the German artillery and
for long time the duel continued
AT last the Germans, thinking they
had got the measure of the Russian
Sunners, made another attempt to
throw their troops across. But this
time also they had no better luck and
not one of the soldiers who stepped
upon the bridges either reached the
opposite shore or returned.
The bodies of the slain rolled down
the yellow flood. Still the Germans
vigorously maintained their lombard
mcnt and about 6 o'clock in the even-
ing made Il last and desperate effort to
utilize the bridges on which they had
spent such pains.
Columns in close formation were
sent forward to the crossings, but
once again every man was moved
down by the murderous fire of the
Russian machine guns.
with the fall of evening the Ger
man batteries were silenced one after
the other by steady and we'll directed
fire of the Russian artillcrists. The
enemy then fell back eight miles, pur-
sued and harassed by Cossacks, who
had crossed the river on the German
bridges.
"According to one account no fewer
than 10000 German corpses were car
ricd down the Niemen after this awful
I'm the fight at Schreniki. on the
Nicmcn. September 10, the German
casualties also are said to have been
large. An eyewitness of the battle
said that in the river and on one of
its banks no fewer than 5000 Ger
mans pcrishcd. ON the opposite shore
from the city the bodies of 1900 Ger
mans were lying mburied for some
days afterwards"
