GERMANS IN LORRAINE

Strong Fortifications Erected Where
Invasion Was Planned.
LONDON, Sept.

L-O-N lO4N, sept g.
All reports received from the battle
fields of France indicate that the blood
lest conflict of the wsr may be in progress
today. The War Office refuses all COM
ment except TO say that the British and
allied lines are holding, and that the sit
uation is unchanged,
Unable 10 shell the Allies from their
positions on the left centre, the Germans
have resorted TO the bayonet The
French and British troops have met them,
steel 10 steel, and 1t is certain that enor-
nous losses have been sustained,
The German attacks have been re-
pulsed, II is declared, and though the
casualties of the Allies may be stagger-
ing, the losses of the troops of the
Kaiser endeavoring to pierce the allied
lines must have been even heavier.
The advance of the French lines 70 Las
signy has revived the belief here that
the determined movement TO envelop the

successful, In spite of a counter-attack,
which reports indicate the Germans in
sttuted, the French lines We're extended
eight miles west of Noyon ,evdentl'- as
a part of a movement toward Rove,
bringing the Allies nearer a position for
a successful movement upon the German
rear.
The original line of the French often
sive into Lorraine is now blocked by
the Germans, This is indicated by the
information which has reached the
French War Office that fortihcations
are being erected around Define and
south of Chateau salins, This was the
line of the French advance in the ini-
tial movements. and the German forces
are reported as being strongly en-
trenched there.

RUSSIAN REFUGEES
BRUTALLY TREATED
BY FOES, IS REPORT
AS Czar's Troops Advance
in East Prussia Conduct of
Officials Becomes Intoler-
ant, Englishman Alleges.
COPENHAGEN. Sept. %.

young Engllshman who has just ar
rived here from East Prussia, tells of the
terrible scenes that followed the Russian
avalanche" that was so vigorously precipi-
tated on the part of the German Empire.
He was the last Englishman to pass
through Konigsberg before it's investment
by the Cars troops, and he and some
rich Russian refugees who have also
reached Copenhagen, speak of the dreadful
scenes on the German side Of the frontier
of every town they passed being choked
with wounded brought in from the battle
field, of fearful suffering among the Rus
sian peasantry, and of the harsh treat
ment shown to foreigners by German viii
layers, who spat upon and stoned their
enemies in the streets.
THE railway line" he said, was thick
with transport trains filled with wounded.
They were huddled together, and some #
them were hanging out of the windows
gasping for fresh air. AT most of the big
stations in East Prussia nurses and doc
tors were waiting on the platform to ar
range the bandages of the wounded Ger
mans. We passed through towns of ter
rifed inhabitants, and the wounded were
everywhere. The less severely hurt were
conveyed back as near as possible to the
central part of the C~untry so as to make
room for the urgent cases that could not
be removed.
"In some towns Englishmen, French
men and Russians were very harshly
treated, especially by subordinate Off
cials. Disgusting remarks were hurled
at them by the Germans. Sometimes
they were openly assaulted and this i'll
feeling became intensified as the Russian
army advanced. AS a result the Rus
sian refugees fed in terror and the Eng
lish there were also treated with con-
tinual ignominy and insult
"At Stettin. however. the feeling
toward foreigners was exceedingly good.
There are il is said. about 5000 Russian
refugees there and these are without any
means whatever.
II should like it stated" this English
man adds, that the official in charge
of these Russian peasants and harvesters
is one of the most kind-hearted men l
have ever met. A Russian girl obviously
OF very good family. was brought to
Stettin and reported that she had been
subjected to very cruel treatment on the
railway She was absolutely penniess,
and this German official took her into his
home and gave her food and shelter"

ANTWERP, Sept ?.

ANTWERP, Sept p
Quarrels between the Bavarian and
Prussian troops of the German army
stationed in Brussels are reported 10
have reached such a point today that
serious trouble is feared by the officers
1t is rumored that many quarrels during
the last week reached a point whers
blows and shots We're exchanged and that
several German soldiers were killed BY
their brothers in arms.
The i'll feeling between the two bodies
of troops has been caused by the fact
that the Prussians have deliled the por-
traits of the Queen of Belgium, who, be-
fore her marriage, was a Bavarian Prin-
cess. When the Bavarians called on the
Prussians to stop the Prussians ignored
them.
Another factor that is said TO have in
famed the Bavarians toward the Prus-
slams is the fact that they claim the
Prussians are the favored soldiers or ths
Kaiser.
II is said that when the Bavarians we're
called out for war duty, they we're nor
told that 1t was for actual service puI
simply for maneuvers, Then they "eTe
rushed off TO the front without chance
to put their domestic affairs in order
The Bavarians contend, II is said, that
the Prussians had warning that they
would have 10 go into battle, and thers-
fore. were able TO adjust their home ar
fairs before leaving.

The belief is growing in official circles

illzation and campaign plans, which had
been secured through an elaborate sys.
tenn of espionage.
The military authorities. 1t is claimed,

Alfred Redl chief of the General STAFF
of the Eighth Austrian Army Corps,
had betrayed information of vital I'M

thought probable the Austrian General

the military experts are of the belief
that the notifications would not have

LONDON, Sept. %.


The London Globe prints a gruesome
story of the manner in which the French
Sengalese soldiers have followed up VIC
tories over German troops. The ac-
count is contained in letter from a
reader of the Globe, who says he wit
nesses the incidents.
1T is a wonder" reads the letter to
the Globe, that the French and British
troops have not retaliated on the Ger
mans for the terrible atrocities commit
ted by the latter. The Turcos and Sem
galese, however, are not scrupulous.
''One Sengalese warrior is walking
about Havre with a necklace of German
ears strung across his shoulders. An
other carries at his waist the CORY head
of a Uhlan with .dented picket-haube
set with a rakish tilt over one eye.
"a wounded Turco was put into a car
riage of a Red Cross train with four
wounded Germans. At the first stop a

they were all right. The Turco replied
that the Germans we're resting peace

The cat is the mascot of one of the

Our dear little. black, lucky kitten

herself We all kissed her afterwards"
