500 Germans were counted next morn

as peasants in French uniforms.

FIGHT FOR DAYS
WITH LITTLE SLEEP

suspended between the bed and the
wall. Apparently satisfied that the
farm was derelict, the Germans left,
and Parker determined to try to reach
Boulogne. He could speak no French,
but met priest, who gave him a note
containing the names of villages on
the route and asking French people to
help him forward. This he found of
enormous assistance, but at Arras he
was arrested as German spy. His
Identification plate, which he retained,
saved him and secured him a passport
to Boulogne, where on the sixth day
after capture, he reported himself to
the British consul.

Says Kaiser of Victory

LONDON, Oct. 16.-The Daily News
correspondent at Rotterdam, in dis
Patch today, says:
1t is announced that the Kaiser tele-
graphed to his aunt, the Dowager
Grand Duchess of Baden, as follows:
Antwerp was occupied this after
noon without fighting. God be thanked
in deepest humility for this glorious
result. To Him be all honor"
Holland has today been bombarded
with copies of the "Koelnische lei

en- itself the task of spreading amons
the Dutch the bitterest virtuperation of
England and her motives regarding the
defence Of Antwerp. Copies of this pr
par are forced anXiously into S1e
hands of all persons in the streets here
It is obvious the whole thing is a
carefully prepared attempt to counter
act the effects on Dutch feeling of the
presence of the tides of refugees who
have crossed the frontier during tn,
last few days. The natural effect o.
even seeing these people, without hear
ing their stories, is to cause resui

81 am quite safe after our battle with
the Germans. 1t seems an ordinary
days occurrence to have shot and shell
dropping all around you. We have
just sunk several of the German de-
stroyers and cruisers. This ship sank
two-a destroyer and a cruiser. The
destroyer we sunk with gunfire, but we
torpedoed the cruiser. Just as we were
finishing the engagement five of our
battle cruisers came up, and signaled
to us to get out of the way. They put
me in mind of five big policemen tell
ing crowd of boys to go away after

BRING WINE AND

Especial to Times-Recorder.)

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE women Of
France, more especially the peasants,
are little afraid of bullets, and are
visiting the trenches of the Allies
nightly, carrying food to the soldiers
and helping to care for the wounded,
according to letters arriving here
from the front. Some of these follow.
The French women seem TO think
that the best cure for shrapnel or bull
let wound is a bottle of wine and a
raw egg. In Wednesdays fight, the
women brought hot potatoes and ne"

bravest women l have ever met. =

I'VE of the Argyll and Sutherland
Highlanders," he continued, took up
a position facing a wood where the
Germans were in strong force. AS they
emerged our boys met them with a
raking rife fire, which moved them
down. On they came and again with
the same devastating result. Their bui-
lets came whistling around us, but we
were Indifferent, the workmanship be-
ing very poor. The German infantry
carry their rifles under their arms, the
butts resting on their hips, and they
fire as they march. AS the enemy pour
ed out enmasse into the open it was
like the exodus from the Celtic and
Rangers Scottish cup final. Man, f
they were only three to one we could
go through them easily, but when it
comes to ten to one strategy as well as
bravery has to be considered.
FavOrite Position of Enemy.
"a favorite position for the enemy to
take up is behind massed stacks of
grain, where they are unseen. At night
time they advance to new points of at
tack, and as soon as daylight breaks,
their fusilade of heavy firing is renew
ed. Many of the Germans, when can
tured, present a pitiful spectacle, and
frequently drop on their knees be-
seeching mercy. The British regi-
ments, as they pass through the French
and Belgian towns, are everywhere re-
ceived with marked hospitality, little
children running forward to kiss the
hands of the soldiers"

The "Koelnische zeitung" has col

that it could find in other journals, and
it quotes with relish such comments as
Antwerp is the sacrifice to Englands

England forced this catastrophe on the

The Vienna "Frendenblatt" says:
Always at the back of the English
