HUNGER IS ENEMY
THAT KILLS IN
GERMAN TRENCH

I PARIS, France.-Here Is the story
of a German priva'e. who was found
dead in q trench-not dead from
wounds. but from staryation-an this
story. in the form OF a daily iournal
kept apparently up to the last day
was found on him. II begins with the
advance Of the crown princes army
upon the Marine after the battle al
CharIeroi and the fall OF Longwy and
covers the battle Of the Marine and
the greater part OF the campaign IN
the Aisne:
Yesterday was a day OF rejoicing, :
says the Journal Our first army has
pushed back the French. defeated a
division OF English cavalry and is be.
fore the gates OF Paris. In Russia our
troops have taken 100000 prisoners.
The JOY would have been greater II
We had had something to eat Our
division leaves for Marson ST Amand
and Bossuet, where we are to bivouac
before crossing the Marine tomorrow.
We hope to get rations there.
"French Guns Gates Of He'll"
I'VE finally stopped long enough to
take a bite. II didn't take long be-
cause what they gave US was Just
enough to put a sharper edge on our
appetites. Then we went toward the
Marine, pushing back detachments OF
the French. They let as come to the
very edge OF the stream; our advance
guard was even partly across the
bridge when their artillery opened ire;
il seemed to Us that it opened the
gates of hell at the same time.
1--WE could net advance and we had
no orders to retire. We could only
stand and watch the carnage around
the bridge, where our losses were ter
ribIe. We succeeded in saving the
flag and our commander and then
we're ordered to retire. It was not ex-
actly defeat, the officers say-only
a retirement. The battle was resumed
little later and lasted nearly all
night. We went forward again but
were obliged to dig ourselves IN to
escape the terrible artillery IRE, Our
own guns seemed to be weak.
Eat Some Raw Potatoes.
sThis morning (Sept. y the French
flying machines are circling above US
necessarily, obliging US to keep 20 our
trenches. Our artillery seems unable
to dislodge the French guns and we
fear an infantry attack from the. left
II Is an artillery day and our troops
occupying the canal bridge have sui
fered terribly. Out OF so men, Is
