During the course of the meeting to-

LONDON, August % H:53 a-m).-The
Times Rouen correspondent describing
the battle of Mons from the accounts of
British wounded says:
THE English artillery was magnificent,
but there was not enough OF 1t in COM
parison with the enemy's. There Is
universal testimony that gun for gun
both the English and French are supe-
rior to the Germans.
The allies shells burst without fail.
The German gunners find the range
smartly, but their shells frequently fail
to burst and not infrequentiy miscarry
and fall short. The sheer weight OF
their massed batteries carried them for
ward.
Their infantry also advanced In close
order and offered a magnificent mark.
Their losses beyond question are greater
than those of the allies but SO. unfortu-
nately, were their numbers. they came
lish held their ground. On. Monday
morning came the order to retire.
Stories Of British Fighting.
The Rouen correspondent Of the Daily
Mail in a dispatch to his paper describes
the arrival of British wounded there and
gives their stories Of the fight. He says
the appearance of the wounded was
terrible but not narrowing. They were,
despite their wounds, not miserable. but
instead displayed cheerful stoicism.
"They had all come from the fight In
the neighborhood OF Mons, where two
French army corps had successfully held
off the enemy on Sunday and Monday
The British, the correspondent says, had
taken the field Immediately upon their
arrival after several days march. They
arrived just in time to stem the German
onrush.
Although sorely in need Of rest they
behaved like fresh troops and held their
ground with splendid courage, earning
Gen Joffre's warm praise.
Not Many Badly Wounded.
Not many of the British have bad
wounds. Many have only broken down
from the hard marching and will be

who were able talked with picturesque
profanity about their bad luck.

very few casualties.

LONDON, August %, 2:1O a.m.-The
Daily Telegraph's Paris correspondent to-
day gives a story of the earlier fighting
at Namur, as described by August Mel
lot, Belgian deputy for Namur. M. Mel
lot says that until August Ii the citizens
Of Namur had hopes that the Belgian
army would be Joined by the French and
English. and would meet and rout the
Germans before they reached Namur, but
on that day a detachment of Belgian
horsemen met a detachment of Uhlans
and engaged in a smart fight, In which
the Germans were smashed up. The
German long-range guns eventually won.
This Incident said M. Mellot, left
no doubt that the Germans would return
In greater numbers. The following day,
while We were in Namur busy complet-
ing the defenses, the first three shells
fell in the town. One she'll struck the
bridge at Salzinnes and killed five per-
sons. l was standing twenty yards away
and must say the impression was a dis
agreeable one.
From that moment we were shelled
daily. and numbers OF persons Were KILL XII,
ed and great damage done. We still
hoped, however, that the allied armies
would drive the Germans out of Bel
GUM, but the German cavalry came ever
nearer and on the 18th we 1elt mat we
were being surrounded. -.
Then on the Goth we heard the news
Of the occupation of Brussels and gave
up hope of decisive battle north OF
Namur. The cannonade Increased dur
ing the night and on the 21st the battle
around Namur became general 1t lasted
all day.
Germans Mask Movements.
while eleven German army corps were
passing the Mouse, coming from Wise. q
powerful force was detailed to mask
their march and kept up heavy fire
on our position. The German attacks
were multiplied all the time, and theiE
fire extended over a line of some ten
miles on the left bank of the Mouse and
over the Himslar line, or right bank.
