Germans, in Letters,
Tell of Experiences
in Great Battles

Bordeaux, Sept 10, 9.20 A. M
There has been given officially here
information concerning incidents of
the fighting and personal experiences
which had been furnished by German
prisoners or obtained from documents
seized by French troops. 1t relates
particularly to the fighting around
Rheims between the eleventh and the
sixteenth of September. A German
artillery officer wrote:
Modern war is the greatest of fol-
lies. Companies of $50 men in the
Tenth army corps, have been reduced
to seventy men and there are com
panies of the guard commanded by
volunteers of year, all officers having
disappeared"
The following is taken from a letter
written by a German infantry officer:
with what grief we learned each
evening of the death of our com
rades," this officer continued to one of
his captors 1T Is necessary to have
lived the battle and find oneself in
the evening without food and with only
the hard earth for bed to appreciate
the truth of the words warm was the
day and bloody the battle: cold is the
evening and calm is the night.
The following is from a letter writ
ten by a lieutenant of the 26th Ger
man artillery:
Nearly all our horses have fallen.
We fight every day from five in the
morning till eight at night without
eating or drinking. The artillery fire
of the French is frightful. We do not
receive any more mail for the postal
auto has been destroyed"
An officer of the Prussian Guard
regiment said:
"My regiment left for the front with
sixty officers: it counts to-day only
five We underwent terrible trials"

To COMPLETE PAVING
PROGRAM IN 8 WEEKS
Contractors Rushing Jobs; I'm
prove Conditions Along
Old Canal Bed

Within five weeks the contractors
in charge of Steeltons big street paw
ing program authorized under the
1913 improvement loan expect to have
work completed.
During the past two weeks the work
has been rushed rapidly and much
progress has already been made. The
wood block paving along the western
half of South Front street was COM
pleted down to the old borough line
last night The Standard Bithulithic
Company, of New York City, the con-
tractors in charge of the great part
of the street paving operations, has a
large force of men building concrete
curb and already the one side of South
Front street is complete. BY Monday
1T is expected to start eXcavating for
the concrete base in South Front
street.
The Central Supply and Construc-
ton Company of Harrisburg, has COM
pleted the paying of Harrisburg street
and its work in South Second street
has been finished as far down as High
land street. From Highland street to
Chambers street the concrete has and
curb is complete and just as soon as
it is solid enough the finishing touches
Will be added. This will be done prob
ably before next Friday evening.
Paving of the various cross streets
from Chambers to Lincoln inclusive is
well under way. Catch basins and
curb has been built in a number of
the streets and the excavations are
being rushed. Lincoln street already
has its concrete base down and the
top coat will be added some time next
week.
Under the direction of Highway
Commissioner Jacob Meshey a force
o. workmen are repairing the curb in
Front street. This work will be paid
for by the United States Wood Pre-
serving Company, the contractors who
paved this street and guaranteed the
work.
Within the past week workmen for
the Pennsylvania Steel Company have
greatly improved conditions along the
Pennsylvania Canal, against which
there has been a storm of protests
lately. The entire stream is being
deepened and the old lock wall near
the borough line has been lowered
This will allow the water to run out
into the river before it rises high
enough to flood the cellars along
Front street.
