London was war mad when the Fl

in one of the hotels overlooking
Trafalgar square, where many Of the
demonstrations were held Some one
in the crowd would start the Rus-
sian, French or English national hymn
and the crowds would take II up and
sing as only patriotic people can
sing" Mr.. Barlow said Then an
other person in the crowd would hoist
a British or French or Russian nag
on a pole, and the crowds would 20

would have the French and British
colors and even the cOlors OF Russia

sight and I saw an even greater one

the balcony at Buckingham palace II
was II o'clock at night The square
in front OF the palace was CROWDED
with people who kept cheering Tor the
king and country. Then the king and
queen appeared before the crowd and
bowed for about four minutes. I was
close up and I thought the King was
saying something to the crowd But
the din Of shouts and cheering was
too great and no man could have
talked against that noise.
Waits Three Days to Enlist.

TERRIFIC FIGHTING
NORTH Of ARRAS
Both the Allies and Germans
Lose Heavily.
MORE MEN FOR THE KAISER
From 10000 to 100000 Troops Are
Sent to Aid Teutons in Their
Effort to Force Enemy From
Banks Of Canal.

London, Dec 1.-THE battle of the
coal fields, as the furious engagement
! being fought north of Arras has come
to be known, centered during the day
on the banks of the canal from Beth
une to Lens. Here the Germans and
French were at grips in terrific en-.
counter during most of the day. The
fighting was most vigorous. Heavy
losses were inflicted on both sides. In
the language of the French official
statement in which the result of the
days battle was anpOunced, it was a
rather warm engagement"
French Capture Chateau.
After alternate successes and re-
verses, in which one army, then the
other, occupied the disputed advan-
tageOus positions on the canal banks,
the French by thanking movement
were able to pour an enfilading fire
into the German trenches, routing
them and carrying by storm the cha
teau Of Vermelles and the park sur
rounding it. a position OF great
strategic advantage which the Ger
mans had held stubbornly for several
days.
Joffre Strengthens Lines.
Strong re-enforcements have been
sent up to General Joffre to meet the
greatly increased strength of the in.
yaders, and heavy cannon being
mounted In the rear of the French po-
sitions in order to break the German
offensive. which is growing more de-
termined as the fighting in this region
progresses. The German plan evident
ly. Is TO attempt to hack through at
this point in Pas de Calais. where they
are now about twenty-five miles from
Boulogne and about twenty-five miles
from Calais.
The first infantry activity in two
days was shown by the Germans in
the fighting in Belgium, when they
tried a sortie from their trenches south
of Bixschoote, in an effort to recover
some of the territory occupied by the
allies. The attempt met with failure.
despite the strength of the force sent
to the attack.
One hundred and twenty to two hun
dred and fifty thousand reinforce
ments have been brought up from the
rear by the Germans to strengthen the
line along the User. where 1t was re.
ported new effort was to be made
to force the allies back from the banks
OF the canalized river.
