 ''The reports that cholera has broken out in Berlin are ridiculous.
 Count Beroldingen, whose mother is an American woman, has been awarded two iron crosses for the following exploit: One. day he appeared among his com- rades wearing the raincoat of an English officer and found that they did not recog- nize him. Consequently he slipped away to the French lines. and once there de- manded that he be taken to someone wh, could speak English, preferably the com. manding general. This was done. To tht French commanding officer he said:l
 CT am an English adjutant. Wher will you attack? What are your posi- tions, and what is your plan of action?'
 Tt being dusk. the French general did not notice the German rsusrorm under the English raincoat and gave the count the information he asked for.
 "Beroldingen returned to the German lines and finally convinced his own com mander of the truth of the story. The Information thus obtained won the battle for the Germans"
 The Frankfurter Zeitung declares that the people of Paris are. depressed by the appearance of new German armies in the rorth of France. These troops were suc- cessful in frustrating the French out f1anSing evolutions.

 French Frontier | |AUSTRIANS CLAIM RUSSIANS CHECKED Advance Into Galicia Successful, Says Vienna Dispatch-Reports of Cholera Denounced as Absurd

From the Battle Front, via Paris, October 10.-(11s51 p. m.)-sabre and lance came into play many times to- day. The French, British and German hussars, lanccrs, dragoons and cuiras- siers, in enormous numbers, came into contact near Lille. There were no bril- liant charges by long lines of horsc- men to record, but the British squad ron in khaki and the French in their Night and dark blue uniforms often crossed swords with the blue-gray clad Germans.
 There Is not an inch of ground here abouts which does not show traces of the awful character of the battle. The towr of Albert Is a mass of ruins. Rove has disappeared under constant bombardment It was the center of the German effort te break through the allied lines. The Ger man artillery had taken advantage ol many quarries in the vicinity, where they placed guns which were beyond the reacf of the French artillery.

In 1876 when there arose the question of participating in the Turko- Russian war, Prince Charles stood firm for neutrality, but when the Russians were on the point of being crushed at Plovna and Grand Duke Nicholas sent his famous call for help. the Roumanian forces were led , to battle and with Charles at their head decisively defeated the great Turkish army
 Cast Iron Crown
 The renown of Prince Charles spread and four years later, out of a cannon he had captured at Plevna, the Rou- lmanian people cast him an iron crown. With consent of the powers they placed it on his head in 1881. From this time on King Charles was universally ac- 1 Iknowledged the leader of his adopte ed people and the kingdom of Roumania lhecame a factor in international pol itics. She held aloof from the common I Balkan war against the Turks. but was i..tt l. greed for territory and after the wars
 King Charles pressed his country $ l claim for 2500 miles of territory as compensation for the neutrality Rou-

 Recent dispatches have described King Charles of Roumania as being seriously i'll, but from other quarters his indisposition has been declared 10 be entirely political. IL has been pre- dicted lately that he was preparing to abdicate.

 of his son. Prince Wilhelm, and Prince Wilhelm, in 1888, renounced his rights in his turn in favor of his brother Prince Ferdinand, who was born in 1885.

 to cast his lot with these countries but such course encountered strong opposition in Roumania, particularly IT the legislature. Recent dispatches have

 had made to Germany, desired to mob
