New York. Oct. 6-Lieut. A. E1li-
cott Brown, u. s. A., who visited the
battlefield Of the Meaux just after
the lighting, reached New York yes
terday. So great had been the earn
age, he said, that within radius of
500 yards he saw 1000 dead Ger
mans. The bayonet charges of the
allies, he said, were responsible for
the great slaughter as the German
soldiers were so strongly entrenched
that they could be dislodged in no
other way.
II saw Capt. Parker of the United
States army while / was in France, :
Lieut.. Brown said. sand he told me
that the German army's retreat from
its near approach to Paris has been
a perfect military movement and that
he had seen but one dead German
left behind. The German soldiers
are friendly to French peasants, he
said, and he found no trace of afro
cities, although he had heard much
about them Z
