TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER IS, 1914.

into the running column. Road and
fields were dotted with corpses in Bel
gian blue.
''At noon the Belgians and Germans
were in places only fifty yards apart,
and the rattle Of musketry sounded
like a boy drawing a stick along the
palings of picket fence. The railway
embankment from which I viewed the
battle was fairly carpeted with corpses
Of infantrymen. 1 saw peasants
throw twelve corpses into one grave"
Spectacular Pursuit.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg to
the Reuter- Telegram company, recites
a daring act credited to Prince Eris-
toff, a colonel in the Russian horse
artillery.
When the Germans were re.reating
from Stallupoehnen, a town Of East
Prussia, the prince ordered his men
to unhitch their horses from their own
guns, mount them and gallop after the
Germans. Under a heavy fire the Rus
sian cavalrymen went forward, cap
turing the German guns and brought
them back to their lines.
"Germans a Brave Lot"
AT times" French soldier de-
clared in a letter home, I'VE could
hardly hold our rifles, they were so
hot. Often we had in the trenches no
cover of any sort. We had just to dig
up a heap of earth a foot high or so
and, lying behind it, pelt away for all
we were worth.
"Our shooting, / can assure you,
was as steady as though our arms
were at the rifle ranges, and even so
often in front Of our positions we
could see the dead accumulating in
great heaps. Far away on my right
saw at one time British cavalry charg-
ing. We took the risk and looked up
to see it. Upon my word, 1t was
magnificent sight. 1 was too far off
to see what happened when they got
home, which they did with magnifi-
cent dash. l don't think they lost
heavily, at least not very heavily, for
we saw them get back again.
1.-The way the Germans came on
again and again throughout the day
was great. They are brave lot"
Duty Before Dying Son.
Paris has read with intense pride
the story Of the brave General Cou-
rieres de Castelnau, who had six sons
fighting for France and whose young
est, he saw struck down at his side by
a shell in the battle of Charleroi.
When a staff officer ran up and
said, you must hurry If you wish to
see him alive" the father turned away
his eyes, directed that the unconsci-
Gus boy be carried to the rear and re-
sumed his task Of directing the COM
bat.
An interesting sidelight on rural
life in France during the stress OF
war is given by a correspondent:
Coming through a town in the
center of France" says he, II ap-
preciated more than in crowded Paris
that the nation was at war and her
sons fighting and dying on the north
ern battlefields. OF the male popula-
tion of 200, two-thirds are mobolized
and are on the firing line. There are
loungers in the sunny market place,
but not the usual throng-now only
old men and women. The middle aged
and young women and the boys are
in the fields gathering the harvest.

An Expert.-A patient little mother
had just tucked her five-year-old
daughter in bed and was about to
leave the room when the youngster
called her back.
Yes, dear" answered the mother,
returning to the bedside, what do you
want?"
I'm not very sleepy yet" said the
child, appealingly. Wont you tell me
a fairy story?"
Wait a few minutes, dear" replied
mamma, with just a tinge Of hardness
in her voice. Your father will soon be
home, and he will tell US both one"

says: "Flogging was almost universal.
The maximum number Of lashes were
gradually reduced from $500 to 300.
but the notion that discipline could not
be maintained without summary pun
ishment continued to be believed, and
wellington himself dealt with fragrant
cases by hanging the culprits upon
trees in the public roads. One result
was that only men belonging to the
lowest classes would join the army
In III a sentinel in the guards was
flogged in St. James park so severely
that he subsequently died raving mad.
His offense consisted Of saying that
there was no more encouragement for
a good soldier than for bad one"

Regarding the
Monument

The Monument Is the sole product
Of man which Is expected to exist,
without change or repair. for all
time-beyond the memory that we
cherish in our hearts, which Is only
as long as the span Of life. 1t may
help to form a record. but 1t is erect
ed as tribute Of love to those who
have passed ito that bourne from
whence no traveller ever returns" AS
such, let it be a thing Of beauty, not
dark and somber, but bright and
cheerful; not typifying earthly sor-
row, but symbolizing undying love.
And as architecture Is brought to US
from the past by the tombs Of the
ancients, so let us pass on to those
in our steps, some worthy expression
of our conception Of beauty.

Diamond Cutters Idle.

engine if the government wants any
help there said q young journalist

time, and l think that is the way l
can best serve the state"
The war has had the effect Of throw
ing diamond cutters idle, and they
have found employment as newspaper
sellers in the street, thus starting an
industry new to Amsterdam. Hither-
to newspapers have been sold only
from shops and kiosks But the war
crisis and the demand Of the people,
always in a stolid, silent fashion, to
hear the latest war news led the out
of-work diamond cutters to suggest
that they should sell the papers in
the streets.
So when you sit outside your cafe
a well-dressed artisan walks sedately
along with a neat bundle Of papers
under his arms; there is no shouting
of editions, of course. and no sensa-
tiona contents bill. He offers you
the latest news with the shy air of
