trenches dug. In one place disused
boilers had been set up across the
street.
The Paris correspondent of "The
Daily News" reports that wounded
Frenchman at Rouen, describing the
fighting at Charleroi. said:

sharpshooters. who kept whole regi-
ments of Germans at bay. they are
as black as devils. and when tre Ger

blazing from their inky faces, they

II is estimated in Paris that since
the outbreak of hostilities the Germans
have lost $4,000 killed and 10000
wounded or prisoners. Their casualties
are six times greater than the COM
bined losses of the allies.

London. Aug 30. England ~ Crate
full for Americas favorable opinion
which numerous dispatches to London
newspapers have described as almost
wholly on the side Of the allies.
Here one curious development Of
this war is that American public opin-
ion has become something Of APP
preciable value. Hitherto IN great
world questions American opinion has
amounted to little and has been
given slight consideration. Now, now
ever. the good will Of tho Unlted
States is eagerly sought. and II Is
realized that when the end OF the war
comes Washington will play an Impor-
tant part in the settlement.
England is not asking Tor direct
American support, fully realizing thai
Americas duty is strict neutrality, bu'
the governments Of the allies. their
public men and newspapers all urge
America TO realize that this Is hghi
against autocracy and military dlcta-
torship which. If il ends successfully
for the Kaiser. leaves America IN a
dangerous position. 49,.
The only point of irritation which
has appeared here is the possibility %
German shir being transferred 20 the
American flag and transporting food 70
Holland. from whore u might be
shipped to the German army. u % CON
sidered that this forms doubtful
question with regard TO pure neutral
itv. Some commentators profess 20 feel
some agitation on this point, while
others take the view that America can
be depended upon to observe all the
pIoprieties.
England, naturally, is anxious that
no food should be shipped TO Germany
through Holland. as u - nc small part
of the allies plans 70 starve Germany
should the war be long drawn out.
