PGrisiGnS Return With
Many Souvenirs of Fight

Paris, Sept IA, 3.46 A. M.-Certain
parts of the field of the battle oi
Marne in the department of the Oise
were subjects of varietable Pilgrim
age Sunday. The suburban trains oi
the northern railroad carried great
numbers of sightseers. most of whom
returned with souvenirs of the great
battle. From o'clock to midnight
Sunday trains brought into the north
ern station many souves, turcos and
infantrymen wounded near MeauX
The souvenirs brought from the bat
tlefieId consisted of helmets, frag-
ments of shells and cartridges, wea-
pons, pennants and equipment. All
who visited the battlefield were en-
thusiastic over the evidence they had
seen of their countrymen's victory.
They said, however, that the battle
fields still are Eruesome and the bod
les of Frcnchmen and Germans, shat
tered by shell wounds, are lying thick
along the roads and lanes.
German soldiers, suffering from hun
ger are still being brought into Meaux.
One British soldier Sunday afternoon
brought in five Germans who seemed
to be willing captives.

partment of Seine ct Marne. says:
Il have Travelled to this point prac-
tically along the whole line of the
allied army. General Won Kluck' s
host in coming down over the Marine
and the Grand NORM rivers to Sc
zanne, twenty-five miles southwest of
Epernay, met little opposition, and
believe little opposition was intended.
The allies, in fact, led their opponents
straight into a trap. The English
cavalry led the tired Germans mile
after mile and the Germans believed
the Englishman were running away.
When tn tremendous advance
reached Provins the allies plan was
accomplished and it go no further.
THE fighting on Sunday, Septem-
ber G, was of terrible character and
began at dawn in the region of La
FcTte Gaucher. The allies troops, who
were drawn up to receive the Ger
mans, understood it would be their
duty to hold on their very best in
order that the attacking force at
MeauX might achieve it's task in secur-
ity. The battle lasted all night and
until late Monday. The German ar
tillery fire was very severe, but not ac-

proportions as to Indicate the prac-
