Terrific. Battle RACES on Land,
Air and Sea.
DARING FEATS OCCUR DAILY
Both Sides Charge Trenches
With Reckless Abandon.
Machine Guns Are Masters Of
the Big Conflict.

Londo, Oct 2s.-The correspond
emit of the Daily News. who has been
in an armored train to the banks OF
the User. gives a good description OF
the battle in the northwest. He says:
1.-THE battle RACES along the User
with frightful destruction of life. Air
engines, sea engines and land engines

tically, horizontally and transversely.
Through it the little frail human en-
gines crawl and dig. walk and run,

force and few are TO blame.
Back and Forth.
Thursday the Germans were driven
back over the User; Friday they Sc
cured footing again and Saturday
they were again hurled back. Now a
bridge blown up by one side is re-
paired by the other: it is again blown
up by the first or left as deathtrap
till the enemy is actually crossing.
ACTIONS by armored trains, some
of them the most reckless adventures.
are attempted daily. Each day accu-
mulates an unwrItten record of in
dividual daring feats, accepted as part
of the daily work. Day by day our
men push out on tEeSe dangerous cX-
plorations. attacked by shell fire. in
danger of cross fire, dynamite and
ambuscades, bringing priceless sup
port to the threatened lines AS the
armored train approaches the river
under shell fire the ear cracks with
the constant thunder of guns aboard.
1t is amazing to rec the angle at which
the guns can be swung.
Airmen Busy.
And overhead the airmen are busy
venturing through fog and puffs Of
exploding shells to get one small fact
looping of the loop Of the Germans
overhead as a hair Drained piece of
impudent defiance to our infantry fire.
Now we know 1t means early trouble
for the infantry.
Besides us. as We crawl up, snuffing
the lines like dogs on a scent, grim
train loads of wounded wait soundless-
ly on the sidings. Further up the line of
ambularces are coming slowly back,
The bullets of machine guns begin to
rattle on our armored coats. Shells we
learned to disregard but the machine
gun is the master in this war.
Now We near the river at a flat
country farm. The territory is SCARED
with trenches and it is impossible to
say at first who is in them, so Incl
dental and separate are the fortunes of
this riverside battle. We creep up and
the Germans come into sight out of the
trenches. rush to the bank and are
scattered and smashed. The allies fol-
low with a fierce bayonet charge.
THE Germans do not wait. They
rush to the bridges and are swept away
by the deadliest destroyer Of all, the
machine gun. The bridge is blown up
but who can say by whom? Quickly
the train runs back. "A brisk day. re-
marks the correspondent. Not so bad.

NEED A NAPOLEON.
Both Germans and the Allies
Have . Fine Chance
To Deliver . Decisive Blow ut
the Opposing Force.
(By J. W. =. Mason.l

New York. Oct. zs.--The German CT
fensive in southwestern Belgium has
made progress across the User but in
SO doing 1t has had to give ground
along the coast. The fire Of the Brit
ish warships apparently has compelled
the Germans to move a few miles in
Land and to attempt their advance on
Dunkirk away from the sea front.
This is a serious disadvantage. The
coast line, served hitherto az absolute
protection against flank attack by the
allies. since to get around the German
right it would have been necessary for
the allies to march into the North sea-
Now, with belt of 'unoccupied terri

lists.
While the Germans are taking a
risk in moving away from the coastal
protection of their right flank. there
would be considerable danger to the
allies In taking advantage of the
opening. This is the very condition
of warfare desired by a military gen.
ius. It permits him to put his ingenu-
ity to the risk and by sheer audacity
win a great victory. II there is a
brilliant offensive commander among
the allies he might we'll favor this
moment to strike at the German
flank. Particularly might such q
move be planned by the French gen.
eral staff, because thanking operations
are the essence Of the French theory
Of warfare in opposition to the Ger
man belief that development is the
only effective basic principle Of STRAIT
egg.
Existence Of the great unknown
quantity in warfare has not been bet
ter demonstrated during the present
campaign than in these mingled posi-
bilities Of brilliant successes or serious
reverses now existing along the Belgian
coast. Neither side has demonstrated
it possesses a modern Napoleon capable
Of adequately handling the coastal sit
uation. It would be interesting, how
ever. to see what Gen. Won Hindenberg
might do, If he were French instead OF
German and were in Belgium instead
Of directing the operations against
Warsaw.
