Paris, Oct. THE almost indescrib-
able horror of the battlefield is Sug-
gested by a correspondent who fol-
lowed in the wake of the armies as
they drew away from Paris. News
paper men are vigorously excluded
from the region where fighting is or
has recently been going on. But this
particular correspondent was invited
by Red Cross surgeon to accompany
him on visit to the theater of ac-
tivities.
THE most awful carnage in the
worlds history has strewn the battle
region east and northeast Of Paris
with countless thousands of rotting
French, English and German corpses
and disemboweled carcasses Of
horses the correspondent writes.
During an automobile tour I have

The grave diggers make a long
ditch in the middle of the meadow,
then collect all the dead soldiers lying
within 200 or 300 yards, then move 400

ditch. Each long ditch therefore con-
tains those killed within a circle radi-
ating from 500 to 4cO yards from the
common grave.
The only preparation Of the bodies
for the grave was to remove the little
tag containing a number worn around

collected together and sent to the
headquarters of each brigade every
day.

Two War Ships Bombard
the French Colony OF
Papeete, Tahiti, Accord
ing to Stories Told by
Refugees.
BY AsSOCITED PRESS.

San Francisco, Oct. Two lives
were lost, $4,000, 900 damage was done,
two vessels were sunk, and two blocks
of business houses and residences
were destroyed by the German cruisers
Scharnhorst and Greisena in their
bombardment last month of French
colony of Papeete, Tahiti.
Refugees from the island told the
story on their arrival here today
aboard the liner Moana, from Aus
tralia, which touched at Tahiti. The
dead were one native and a Japanese
chauffeur.
No landing was made. According to
most of the Moana's passengers, the
French fired the first shot from bill
side fort. Otherwise, it was thought,
the settlement would not have been
bombarded, although undoubtedly the
French gunboat Zolee would have been
sunz.
THE Germans, flying no flags, hove
in sight about seven in the morning"
ran the composite narrative of the pas
sengers. I'm the harbor were lying
the French gunboat Zolee and the
German merchantmen Walkurie, the
z1olan's prize. Anticipating a possible
raid, the French had stripped the Zolee
and mounted her guns ashore.
"As soon as the strangers were
recognized. the fort opened fire. The
Germans hoisted their battle flags and
began a hot reply, broadside after
broadside Nothing on the island
matched their eight-inch rifles. We
estimated that more than hundred
eight-inch shells fell in the town, be-
sides a rain of smaller projectiles.
THE crew of the Zolee started for
shore at the first shot. Not long after
ward the little gunboat sank, riddled
with holes. Her prize, the Walkur1e
flew no flag and the Germans, ignorant
of her nationality and that her crew
were prisoners on the island, sank her
too.

hours. Houses surrounding the Aner1-
can consulate over which the stars
and stripes was flying conspicuous4y
were not damaged, but the Waterfront
and mercantile district were wrecked.
