Margaret and met in Florence. We were both of an artistic makeup, and there is nothing more pleasing than the compuniouship of one with con genial tastes. We sauutcred through the galleries of that artistic city. and admired the works of art together.
 Then, too, there is something unify- ing to kindred spirits in being thrown together in foreign country. Amer ica to Americans on the other side of the Atlantic ocean seems so far The customs of those countries are so diff ferent from ours. They seem so old; We so new. It is this that draws Americans abroad together who would live for years next doOr-to each other and never form an acquaintance.
 These meetings between fellow coun- trymeu of opposite sex frequently end in love affairs, and such was the case with Margaret and inc Eut my suit was not successful Whether this was due to Margaret or the influences brought to bear upon her I did not know.

London, Sept. 2.-The Paris CORES
pondent of the Times sends the follow
ing:
To-day l pushed up as near the front
as possible, but could only get general
impressions of the events of recent
days.
1T must be borne in mind that al
although on the left flank the allied
armies have been forced to withdraw,
their lines so far remain intact At no
point has the enemy succeeded in driv-
ing a wedge through the circle which is
drawing closer and closer around the
capital and gaining strength as 1t re-
tires.
Amid all the weller of war the
British troops produced the great
quality of efficiency. The spirit OF
Kitchener apparently pervades the
whole British expeditionary force. The
transport and commissariat are all ex-
cellent and they have withstood the
slaughtering tactics OF the German
general staff with wonderful equan
unity"

AMERICAN GIRL
Tells STORY OF

New York, Sept. 2.-The battlefield

an American girl was wildly de-
scribed today by Miss Anna Laing.

Conn, hospital, a passenger on the
steamer Ryndam from Rotterdam.
81 was in Liege when the fight
started" said Miss Laing. Several
Belgian officers who were friends of
mine took me to a house where l was
practically out of range of the shells
that were being hurled at the city by
the Germans. During the evening the
Germans withdrew for some reason,
and during the dull in the fighting two
of the Belgian officers invited me to
go out over the field where the heaviest
of the fighting had taken place.
1.-THE ground was literally soaked
with blood and the bodies of horses
and men lay everywhere. There was
many a place where blood had flowed
down the sides Of little hills and earth
works; its course was plainly marked
Some bushes were spattered with red
as high up as eight feet above the
ground.
Il saw trenches filed with dead Ger
man soldiers. These trenches, the Bel
gian officers explained, had been dug
by the Belgians and occupied by them
until the great army of advancing Ger
mans forced them to retreat AS the
German infantry mounted the breast
works in front of the trenches the re-
treating Belgians poured a murderous
fire into their ranks and their bodies
fell in the trenches. Then. the Belgian
officers said, their men moved down
more Germans with deadly cross fire.
which not only fill the trenches with
bodies but let many piled on top of one
another on the breastworks and the
ground nearby"
When Miss Lailg returned to the
city she helped dress the wounds of
many Belgian soldiers. She left the
city before 1t was c-ptured by the Ger
mans, however. and managed to make
her way to Rotterdam.

was splendidly borne by our soldiers
and never did the unflinching bulldog
courage OF the British show to better

a fresh onslaught on the British, \con-
shutting the left flank. According to
the latest information which has
reached me our sorely tried troops are
being reinforced and they are conf
dent of being able to check the enemy

ordinary recklessness, flinging away
thousands of lives in the hope of ulti-
mately gaining their end. No doubt
the rapid advance of the Russians in

with this and is responsible for the
