Charge of German Cavalry Guns Is Repused While Avi

London, Sept i'll A. M).-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 little
forest and opened out. supported by
the North Country regiment. Our
colonel warned us that the German
infantry was advancing,
I'VE had hardly extended ourselves
prone along the grass when patches
of blue and green were seen on the
sky line and soon battalions of the
enemy were made out following each
other ct regular intervals.
Our batteries let rip and gouges
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
it was an inferno. German aviators
were directing their guns and at
times We fired on aeroplanes but our
shots were ineffective. Our poor gun

DEFENDS HIGH
PRICE OF SUGAR
AS LEGITIMATE
New York Municipal
Markets Disprove It
By Selling Cheaper
Than Stores

New York, Sept. 1.-The increase in
the price of sugar after the European
war began was legitimate. according
TO testimony given today at District
Attorney Whitman's John Doe inquiry
into the high cost of food Edwin F.
Atkins, chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the American Sugar Re-
filming Co, said the demand abroad and
the competition for West Indian and
Central and South American raw su-
gar made the increase in the price of
sugar here necessary.
At four food markets which the city
opened today, sugar sold more cheap
ly than housewives could buy at the
stores where they traded. and within
two hours the supply of this staple
at these markets was exhausted.
In John Doe proceedings, John A
Sim, general manager of a -four COM
pany, said speculation of flour in this
country was impossible. He predicted
that If the price of flour continues to
rise many small bakeries would be
forced out of business because they
could not afford to sell standard
loaves of bread for five cents.
Bread at the new municipal markets
today. sold at four cents a loaf and
bakeries in the peighborhood did lit
tie business. The markets were
crowded.

GERMANS WIN
BIG VICTORY
AT ALLENSTEIN
Three Russian Army Corps De-

Artillery Equipment

Oners, including three Russian
commanding generals, were TAX
en-, was reported today to the
German embassy from Berlin by
wireless via Sayville, L. l.
The Brazilian military attache
at Berlin says that the German
victory did not come as a sur
prise to those who witnessed
their maneuvers in peace, and
declares that the effect of the
Krupps heavy artillery is aston
ishing.
The despatch says:
''Official report of the victory
at Allenstein shows that it was
even greater than known before.
Three Russian army corps were
annihilated. Seventy thousand
prisoners were taken, including
two commanding generals, 800
officers and the complete artil-
lery of the Russian army"

Kluk, it is reported, against the
French flanking attempt, ad-
vanced to Conbles." (Here part
of the message could not be
clearly deciphered).
General Won Buelow com.
pletely defeated a superior
French force near st. Quentin
after having captured an Eng
lish infantry battalion. General
Won Hansen forced back the
French upon the river at
Rethel."
s'The Duke of Wurtemburg
crossed the Mouse river, also ad.
vancing upon Aisne. The crown
prince advanced beyond the
Mouse after capturing the entire
garrison of Montnedy, which
tried to sortie. The fortress also
was captured. The crown prince
