.DEADLY,MONS FIGHT
Germans Moved Down by the

London-The terrific charge Of the
Germans in the face of deadly artillery
fire directed by the British at Mons Is
described in dispatch received by
the Times from its correspondent at
Amiens
He states that the following account
was given to him by non-commis-
stoned British officer, who had been
wounded:
"As the Germans came into view in
the open front of our hastily dug
trenches, our men opened on them
with steady fire that never went wide.
We could see, after each of our vol
leys. clean-cut gaps in the ranks OF
the enemy. but they were game lot.
They kept on closing up the gaps in
their ranks as though they were 80
many marionettes.
Flesh and blood however. could not
stand this sort of thing forever and
after a while the Germans began to
come along with less confident step.
Once the advancing line halted and
the men looked about them in dazed
sort of way as we continued to rain
lead into them.
Soon the first line faded from view
and another line of the enemy, fresh
and determined took their places and
offered themselves as targets for our
guns. After a while those who were
left In that advancing line retreated
and another line took It's place. This
line stood up under fire as long as 1t
could, then 1t, too, gave way to an
other line So 1t continued; one line
fighting to advance as long as 1t could.
and then, when we had riddled 1t, CIV
ing way to the next.
These tactics were pursued for
hours. Each new line, no matter how
much lead we poured into 1t, made
some slight advance, and when more
than dozen lines had taken turns In
fighting their way towards us the Ger
mans had accomplished their aim
they had approached close enough to
us to hurl themselves upon our
trenches.
And then 1t was that we sprung
our trap. The Germans, in their
frenzy to reach us In the trenches,
had forgotten utterly that we might
have cavalry. And we did. 1t was
In hiding. Just at the moment that
the Germans were swarming over our
breastworks the cavalry emerged from
It's hiding place and bore down upon
the German soldiers.
"Hell's fury blazed In the eyes OF
the Germans as they saw their new
foe and tried to grapple with 1t. But
Il was no use. They were beaten, and
quickly did they discover it. After
brief battle with the horsemen, the
Germans broke and ran, pursued by
our cavalrymen. They were cut down
like char as they fed, and only very
few escaped.
The actions OF those Germans
whom We captured has shown US that
they hate US ten times worse than
they do the French Some OF the pris-
oners have told US that they are sure
that II England had not joined with
France the Germans would be IN Paris
now debating terms of peace

London.-An incident is reported
regarding the duke Of Westminster,
who recently was mentioned as among
those whose bravery on the field Of
action had attracted attention.
The duke, it is said. is serving as
aid to Field Marshal Sir John
French. He encountered a patrol Of
uhlans while he was carrying orders
by automobile He pat on the utmost
speed, but numerous shots from the
Germans struck the machine, and one
MORALLY wounded his companion, an

CORPSES CHOKED THE MEUSE
Paris Correspondent Says Bodies Of
Dead Germans Literally Filled UP
the Bed Of the River.

Paris.-Edouard Kelsey Of LIE Jour
nal reported to be serving with the
colors, writes:
1T would be difficult to estimate the
number OF Germans killed last week.
Whole regiments were annihilated at
some points. They came out OF the
woods section by section. One sec
ton, one shetland everything was
wiped out
AT two or three places which I
am forbidden to name corpses filled
the Meuse until the river overlooked.
This Is no figure Of speech, The
river bed literally was choked by the
mass OF dead Germans. The effect Of
our artillery surpasses even our
dreams"

Druu to Increase HeIaht.

An unusual request was granted by
the Stafford (Eng.) Guardians recently,
when Doctor Marson, one of the dis
trict medical officers. was given per-
mission to experiment with a certain
drug for the purpose Of increasing the
height of dwarfed woman who Is In
receipt of medical relief. She stands
only three feet in height.
Doctor Marson said that the drug,
which was discovered some years ago,
had worked marvels In many cases. II
used In time in the present case 1t
was practicable not only to increase
the growth, but also to improve the
young woman's intellect.

FOOD FOR AN ARMY
German Soldiers Carry "Iron"
Ration in HaversaCk.
Hard Black Bread, Meat or Bacon
Onions and Coffee Their Fare
Aside From What They
Can Forage.

Washington. German foot
soldier carried q ounces of hard
bread Fl ounces of preserved meat or
bacon, ten and one-half ounces OF veg
etables, mostly onions, and two and
fve-eighths ounces Of coffee in his hav.
ersack when he started for Belgium.
Every uhlan or other cavalryman car
ried lust one-third Of that amount.
The foot soldiers had enough food
for three days and the cavalryman
for one day. The cavalryman is sup
posed to be able to get back to base
of supplies oftener and easier than
foot soldier. Besides, his work being
usually in advance of the foot sol.
diers, the food supplies Of the coun.
try are not materially depleted when
he appears, and he is expected to help
himself
An army officer on duty with the
general staff in Washington says:
The German soldiers are living on
soup and hard bread. If the supply
of meat and onions is good the
soup is thick; II 1t is small the soup
is thin. The fewer utensils an army
carries the better it is fed Big cauL
drons packed with meat and vege'
tables mean more sustenance than
pots and pans and bake ovens. The
motive power that would be required
to carry frying pans, broiling irons
and baking dishes can be better used
To-, tafn
Stew every day is better than planked
steak and mashed potatoes every 9th
er day"
S,uce 1909 the Prussians have been
working on the machine with which
the kaiser Is confronting the alliance
Of great and little powers today. They
call the ration weighing four pounds
and fourteen ounces their iron ra
ton. 1t must last three days. Six
hundred carloads of food must leave
Coblentz, Cologne. Aix-la-Chapelle, or
whatever for the time being is the
commissary depot, daily for the men
operating in Belgium, Luxembourg and
France, that Is the minimum. The
chances are that 800 cars are being
used for the conveyance Of one days
iron" ration. For ammunition there
must be a minimum of 500 cars. For
forage and other quartermaster stores
there must be minimum OF at least
1000 cars, although the probabilities
are that much larger number are be-
ing used
If the army is being kept supplied
by less than $500 carloads of material
every day the statisticians and others
who have worked on the machine and
its handling have achieved a great VIC
tory. Probably 200 locomotives are in
use.
All these things are being used TO
start the supplies from the great de-
pots at the base or bases TO the tenn
porary distributing depots.
The German soldier Is eating black
bread baked two months ago, Its
crust is so hard that bayonet or
saber must be used to break It, Hard
baking preserves 1t and reduces the
moisture to be carried to minimum.
AS to how the soldier shall eat it that
Is his affair
These estimates as to the number
OF wagons and animals are based on
campaign ten-day march from the
base, or, roughly speaking, from one
hundred to one hundred and nifty miles
from the point to which the railroads
bring the food, ammunition, forage
and other material
