Germans Are Reckless.

London.-A Chronicle correspondent
writing from an unarmed town says:
The Germans are displaying ex-
traordinary recRlessness. finging away
thousands of lives In the hope Of ulti.
mately gaining tEsir end No doubt
the rapid advance of the Russians in
eastern Prussia has something to do
with this. and is responsible for the
frantic and insane haste which char.
acterihes the German attempt in north.
ern France TO smash the thin khaki
line which so yaliantly bars the road
toward Compeigne. Soissons and Paris.
That stories of German atrocities
are not one whit exaggerated may be
gathered from the story told me BY a
sergeant who was wounded In the ac-
tion. near Mons Sunday week ago.
AS he lay helpless on the ground
and the German infantry swept by he
could hear. from the imploring cries
of the wounded in his front, that they
were being ruthlessly put 10 death by
their foes.
