SLAUGHTER AT CHARLEROI
IS GREATEST in HISTORY

guns mounted in the steeples, and
driving the German defenders in con,
fusion across the river Sambre.
Many Houses In Flames.
They found many houses smolderins
or in flames. The inhabitants, terror
stricken, were in the cellars. German
officers and soldiers were found dead
in the streets, side by side with
Frenchmen who had fallen before or
afterward.
One German officer was shot while
he was washing his face, and his head
was bowed over basin, while his
face was covered with soap.
Another had been lifting cup Of
coffee to his lips when a French bull
let brought death. He was found ly-
ing face downward across table, the
broken cup beside him on the floor.
German Losses Enormous.
An idea of the enormous losses Of
the Germans in the great battle in
southwestern Belgium and of the BRAY
cry of the kaiser's soldiers Is given in
the story of a returned traveller who
witnessed part of the fighting along
the Sambre river, southwest of Charlie
roi.
Il was near Fereux, in a region
covered with dense woods. while the
fighting was taking place" said ne. I'll
could hear the sound of cannon away
to the east and knew that big battle
was raging. From my place in the
forest l suddenly saw the advance
guard of a German army approach

| trees.
There seemed to be an endless proI
cession of soldiers, all dressed In q
uniform of gray. Rank after rank
! passed by and l thought that the end
would never come.
| There was no hesitation. The mem
swung forward with quick steps and
I saw officers galloping along the lines
urging them forward.
French Open Fire.
Suddenly there was a fresh sound
of battle, this time in front of me and
l knew that the French artillery had
opened upon the advance guard Of
the Germans. l moved cautiously for
ward to a point where l could get q
view of the battle scene. 1t was q
view which scared itself into my mem
DRY
THE French guns we're hurting q
hurricane of steel and flame into the
German ranks, but the soldiers pushed
forward with their battle shouts on
their lips. Straight into that pit of
destruction rushed the advancing
troops. Men fell, on every hand. 1t
seemed that whole piatoons melted
away.
"Over the bodies of the dead and
wounded pushed the rear ranks OF
the invading army, rushing with fixed
bayonets upon the smoking muzzles
of the French artillery. 1t was su'
perb picture of gallantry.
AeropIane Is Smashed.
Near Erquelinnes l saw a German
aeroplane brought down. The mill
tary aviator was flying high in the
air, taking reconnaissance of the al
lies positions. The specially construct

were turned upon the aeroplane, bu'

You bet he wants it," returned
Hooker, with conviction. I'm going

Jaw, you're crazy, Bud!" cried Phil:
but Hooker only smiled
You know what happened TO kru'
GER" he answered. "Ill tell you what,
we got to keep our eye open around
here"
They rode on to the mine, which
was only about FIVE miles from For
tuna, without discussing the matter
further; for, while Phil had generally
been the leader. In this particular case
Kruger had put Bud in charge, and
he seemed determined to have his
way SO far as Aragon was concerned
In the ordering Of supplies and the
laying out of development work ne
deferred 10 Phil in everything. but for
tactics he preferred his own judgment.
II was by instinct rather than rea-
son that he chose to fight. and people
who follow their instincts are hard to
change. So they put in the day In
making careful measurements, &C
cording to the memoranda that Kru-
ger had given them; having satisfied
themselves as to the approximate
locality OF the lost vein, they turned
back again toward town with their
heads full OF cunning schemes.
Since II was the pleasure OF the
Senior Aragon to make war on all
who entered his preserves, they check
mated any attempt on his part to
locate the lead by driving stakes to
the north Of their ledge; and. still fur
Their to throw him of. they decided to
mark time for a while by doing dead
work on a cut. Such an approach
wonld be needed to reach the mouth
OF Il ir tunnel.
At the same time II would give
steady employment to Mendez and
keep him under their eye. and as soon
as Aragon showed his hand they could
make out their final papers In peace
and send them to the City OF Mexico
And not until those final papers
were recorded and the transfer duly
made would they so much as stick
