GERMAN TROOPS
LOST HEAVILY
BATTLE At MONS
Wounded Briton Says They
Left More Than Half Dead
and Wounded on Field.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-The following
story of the fighting near Mons was
told to an Express reporter by one of
the British wounded who was brought
here Monday:
I'VE had left the shelter of a little
forest and opened out, supported by
the north country regiment. Our colo
mel warned us that the German in
fantry was advancing.
I'VE had hardly extended ourselves
prone along the grass when patches
of blue and green were seen on the
skyline, and soon battalions of the
enemy were made out, following each
other at regular intervals,
Our batteries let rip and gouged
holes through them. Bravo, shouted
my platoon commander as he watched
through his glasses.
Now the order was given to fix
bayonets. Before the enemy arrived
the artillery fire had increased until
II was an inferno. German aviators
were directing their guns and at times
We fired on aeroplanes, but our shots
We're ineffective. Our poor gunners
had an awful time as the German
cavalry got around behind us and
charged right up to the guns. Very
few of the Germans escaped, however.
for whole platoons rushed to the res
cue, emptying their magazines as they
ran.
"A moment later the Germans were
or us from the front. We let them
come until their breasts rose above
the neighboring hillock and then dec
mated them. They fell back in con-
fusion and dropped to the ground
Another line came which we treat
ed the same way. Scores of machine
guns were turned on us, however,
and we were ordered to prepare to
charge.
ION the word of command we sprang
from the ground as one man and with
yell after yell charged the advanc-
ing Prussians. AS we neared their
ranks we fired unfortunately, and
only few remained to cross bayonets
with us. The remainder rushed off
and were shot in the back as they
went They left more than half their
regiment on the field in killed and
wounded"

Live Shells from German
Guns Hurled Into Sea by
Sailors of British Ships
ny the AssocIated press.

LONDON. Sept. 1.-The Harwich
correspondent of the Telegraph gives
interviews with wounded sailors and
speaks of the pluclxy way in which
the English handled live shells. Many
of the German shells which made
hits, it appears, did not burst.
There were five shells in the boiler
of one of the destroyers," he quotes
one of the sailors as saying, land If
one had burst it would have been all
up with the ship"
What did you do with them ?" was
asked
"'Oh, just SHE'D them overheard.
There was no room for such rubbish
aboard our yacht"
The Germans also showed consid-
cradle grit, it is declared. AS one of
the cruisers was going down with
decks afiame and the flag and mast
shot away the only man left in the
forecastle hoisted the flag and then
went down with the ship.
Proof that, some of the Germans
were shot by their own officers, the
correspondent says, is given by one
of the wounded Germans landed at
Shotley. who has seven revolver bull
let's in him which he could only have
come by in his own ship.

Germans Conceal List
of Casualties Suffered,
Charges London Mail
Rx the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-The Mail says
that the German military authorities
have forbidden the publication OF
further casualty lists in the newspa-
pers. The local newspapers are al
lowed to publish casualties of purely
local interest from the lists posted in
the offices of the local administra-
ton.
The Cologne Gazette on Saturday
contained only few names of sol
diers belonging to local regiments.
These form part OF the thirteenth
casualty list. Only twelve complete
lists have been published and these
concern only the fighting which oc-
CURED before the large engagements.
1t appears, says the Mail, that the
enormous casualties suffered from
the English are being carefully con-
cealed.

RIDDER RESENTS ATTACK
BY HENRY WATTERSON

NEW YORK, Sept. I'm his edito-

Staats-Zeitung, Hermann Ridder re-
plies to Colonel Henry Wattersons
criticisms of his stand on the Euro

The difference between the positions
of Henry Watterson and of myself
is that Colonel Watterson considers
it best for the interests of the United
States that the allies should win-I,
that American interests will suffer
less from German triumph.

Sedan Surrendered by
French AZ Years Ago Today

NEW YORK, Sept. To-day is the
forty fourth anniversary of the battle
of Sedan, the disastrous conflict of the
Franco Prussian war of 1870 which
ended in the capture Of Napoleon Ill,
emperor of the French, and the en-
tire French army under Marshal Nc
Mahon. In that battle the most de-
cisive of the great struggle of 1870,
the Germans captured in addition to
the emperor of the French thirty
nine generals, 230 staff officers. $500
line officers and $4,000 men. The for
tress of Sedan was the centre of the
struggle.
The surrender followed complete
investment of the place by the Ger
mans. who had occupied the sur
rounding heights and whose artillery,
placed in splendid position, raked the
French into submission and surren-
der,

Do they wish both sides of the shield.

And therein lies the angle of distor-
ton that we, German sympathizers,

or Russian misrule, can there be the
slightest choice? If. you maintain
that it is choice of evils. then | an

If you must differ in opinion from

involved as we see them, do not beg

canism, our loyalty to democratic
ideals, or our love for the American

INCREASE IN COST
Of SUGAR MEANS
TRADE BOOM HERE
Will Add to Purchasing Power
of Latin American
Countries.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Sugar will be
an important factor in increasing the
commerce of the United States with
Latin America and the sugar-produc-
ing islands. The fact that the price
of sugar has gone up means that the
purchasing power of the sugar-pro-
duc1ng countries has been increased,
that those countries will have more
money from their sugar crops and can
spend more.
The Importance of the rise in the
price of sugar was pointed out yes
terday by o. p. Aus lin, former gov
eminent trade adviser and now con-
neeted with the South American de-
partment of the National City Bank.
He estimated. that the rise in the
price of sugar would add between
500, 900 and $780, 900 to the trade
with this country.
1T now seems clear that the pur-
chasing power of the sugar-produc-
IT islands at our doors, Porto Rico,
Cuba, Hawaii, the far distant Philip
pines, is to be Immediately d. bled by
the advance in the price of sugar, nd
still further increased by the enlarge
ment of production" he said. Fur
thermore, while we think of Cuba as
a large sugar producer, and SO she
other West Indian islands and in Gen.
trail and South America and Mexico
is nearly as great as that OF Cuba,
which alone exported $103, 000,0 900
worth of sugar last year.
ut is suggested then that tn 'otal
sugar supply of Latin Amei 4 is
normally worth about 100000, 900, and
as the price of sugar will increase &c,
if not rs per cent. over last year, the
total value of the crop about to be
harvested is liable to be more than
$500, 600. This would add greatly
to the purchasing power of Porto
Rico, Cuba, the West Indian islands,
Central America and Latin American
countries as well as Hawaii and the
Philippines.
"Those countries, outside of South
America, bought from US iI the last
fiscal year app" 7ately S25O,0O0,0OO
worth of mersh Sc. 1t is likely
that their purchases this year should
araount fully to $4O0,OO0,O00. Taking
Latin America as whole, its taking
of merchandise from the United States
last year amounted to $442,000,00O,
which suggests that with the in
creased purchasing power and the
necessity of calling upon the United
States to supply the merchandise
which it formerly bought in Europe
our sales in the coming year with
those countries may reach as high as
81 600 900. 000."
