 As an example of the spirit inspir- ing our allies the following transla. ton of ordre du Jour, published Sep tember after the battle of Mont mirail by the commander of the French fifth army, is given
 :" Soldiers-Upon the memorable fields Of Montmirail. of Vuachamps, of Champaubert, which a centy< ago witnessed the victories of our ances. tors over Blucher's Prussians, your vigorous offensive has triumphed over the resistance of the Germans. Held on his Hanks, his center broken, the enemy is now retreating towards the east and north by forced marches The most renowned army corps of Old Prussia, the contingent of West phalia, of Hanover, of Brandenburg have retired in haste before you.
 The first success is no more than the prelude The enemy is shaken but not yet deoisively beaten. You still have to undergo severe hard ships to make long marches, to fight hard battles. May the image of our country. soiled by barbariaas, always remain before your eyes.
 'Saluting the heroes who have fallen in the fighting of the last few days. my thoughts turn toward you the victors in the next battle. For ward. soldiers, forward.
 'Montmrail, 9th Sept, 1914.

British AIrman,s Feat.

There have been many minor hap peniugs Of interest. On August IS a French commander desired to make an air reconnaissance. Ii was found, however, that TO observers were available A British officer at- tached to this particular French army volunteered to go with the pilot to observe. He had never been in an aeroplane, but he made the ascent. He had a duel in the air at an altitude of coco feet with the ob. server of a German Taube monoplale which approached. He fired several shots and drove off the hostile aero plane.
 "lt is interesting to note that the royal flying corps, who had been out every day since their arrival Y France, have not seen a Zeppelin though airships of a non-rigid type have been seen on two occasions neal Marne. Late one evening two were observed over the German forces Aeroplanes were despatched aaEins them but in the darkness our pilot' were uncertain of the airship's ma tioaality and did not attack. 1t wa' afterwards made clear that the! could not have been French.
 The orders of the Royal flying corps are to attack Zeppelins, anC there is some disappointment at th' absence of those targets.
 "The following special order wai issued today to the troops by Fiel' Marshal Sir John French:

made on the Fourth guards brigade was repulsed with heavy slaughter.
 An attempt by part of our line to advance slightly was unsuccessful. but led to the withdrawal of part of the enemy's infantry and artillery.
 Further counter attacks made dur ing the night were beaten off. Rain came on towards evening and con. tinnad intermittently until a. ID. on the I6th, to some extent hampering the motor transport service.
 "On Wednesday, the 16th, there was little change in the situation op- posite the British; the enemy's bom- bardment contiaued throughout the morning and evening. Our artillery fire drove the defenders off of one Of the salients Of their position. but they returned in the evening. Forty pris- olers were taken by the Third divi- sion.
 "On Thursday, the 17th, the situa- ton remained unchanged in it's essen tials. The German heavy artillery fire was more active The only il. fantry attacks made by the enemy were on our extreme right and as had happened before, were repulsed with heavy loss. chiefly on this occa. sion, by our field artillery.
 'To convey some idea of the na ture cf the fighting it may be said that along the greater part of our front the Germans have been driven back from the forward slopes on the north Of the river Their infantry are holding strong lines of trenches amongst and along the edges of the numerous woods which crown tn, slopes. These trenches are elaboate ly constructed and cleverly con cealed
 'In many places there are wire en tanglemeats. Both woods and oper are carefully aligned so they can b' swept by guns invisible from our sid' of the valley. The ground in front q the infantry trenches as rule als' is under cross-fire from the field ar tilery.
 "A feature of this action, as of tn previous fighting. is the use by tn enemy of their numerous heav' Howitzers, with which they can di rect iong range fire along the valle, and right across it.
 "The bombardment by both side has been heavy and on Sunday, Mon day and Tuesday was continuous Despite the general din caused by tn immense number of heavy guns Il action along our front Wednesday the arrival of the French force actini against the German right flank wa announced on the east of our iron some miles away by the continuou roar of their quicl1firing artillery.
 "So far as the British are concerned the greater part of this week ha' been passed in bombardment, in gain ing ground by degrees and in beatin' back severe counter attacks witt heavy slaughter. Our casualtie have been severe but it is probabl those of the enemy are heavier.
 "Oa our right and left the Frencl have been fighting firecely and a.s' have been fighting fiercely and als' lage already during this battle ha been captured and reeaptured twice by each side.

stitutionalists will be admitted to the
peace conference as demanded by
Bryan and Carranza,
The fiery statement issued BY Car

brought on crisis in the negotiations.
Cararnza said mediation should not
deal with Mexican internal affairs and
declared he would not recognize any
provisional government agreed on here
and would not allow Huerta 10 be
Candidate for president.
The position of the mediators is that
they once invited Carranza to partici-
pate in the conference and he refused
and now they are not inclined to allow
him to force his way in. The Mexi-
can envoys show uneasiness to delay
but have not opposed representations
by the rebels. The possibility that
mediation may fail is considered very
remote.
