IN HISTORY OF WAR
This is the fourteenth day OF the bat
tie in the north. although the furious
lighting has endured but n week. The
area of the field in which the engage
mcnts have been fought Is remarkably
small, and the carnage has been ter

size OF the battlefield and the number
OF men engaged this will be found to
have been the bloodiest battle In the
history OF wars.
There Is no doubt that up to now the
advantage rests with the French, Brit
