yesterday from London by the Atlantic
Transport steamship Menominee, saw
part of the battle of Mons. It cost him
800; lasted eight hours, and the sight,
he said. was worth the money.
Mr.. Wakefield was in valenciennes
when the Germans began to throw their
heaviest forces against the French ana
Belgians, and the longer he stayed away
from the line of battle the moro he
longod to see 1t. On August II he met
captain OF French artillery and ex-
pressed his desire to see a real battle
The captain, whose name was Antord,
said he thought It could be arranged.
but that It would cost about 800 IL n
party OF dozen could be procured.
Mr.. Wakefield told this to some OF his
friends, and later informed Captain An.
tord that party OF eight was ready.
The money was subscribed, and at Q
p. m. on August "a Mr. Wakefield and
seven other Americans were brought to
place within three miles of the battle
of Mons They were carried in two sprinR
wagons, and, having the necessary passes
through the lines, were not molested in
their journey
we could not see great DEAL" said
Mr. Wakefield, but we could hear plenty
OF hrihg We stayed on the scene until
a. m. on August 26, when firing began In
the rear, and we decided to 90 back we
saw 3S2 wounded and 90 dead soldiers
brought out of the fight in British auto
mobiles. The cars were stripped OF their
bodies and boards were built out over
the chassis so that each car could carry
II men. All were taken to Amiens."

excess of 30 per cent. of the production
In 1914, and the second plan would place
n tax of $50 an acre upon all lands planted

Wounded German officers who were
brought here today accuse the Algerian
troops lighting with the allies in France
with terrible atrocities.
They charge that the French officers
are unable to tame the wild natures of
these African fighters, who delight in
torturing the wounded and mutilating the
dead upon the battlefield.
One of the wounded German officers,
Lieutenant Won Lenz, declares that Ger
many should make formal protest against
the use of these savage Africans.
"They have been guilty of the most
aggravated cruetics. some of which |
Witnessed declared the German officer,
I'm other instances l have learned from
the lips of witnesses how barbarously
these Algerians act. One wounded Ger
man soldier had his eyes gouged out by
Turco, who used his spurs for the
cruel operation.
After one fight in which they had
participated the Turcos went around
with their sabres cutting and slashing
the dead and wounded.
There have been numerous instances
where headless German soldiers have
been found. The Turcos had decapitated
them. carrying off the heads as trophies
of battle.
Credit must be given to these Africans
as fighters, though. They have no regard
for human life and have not the slightest
of fear. But their traits are
the traits of savages and their chief de-
light is to infiict cruelty. God pity the
upon which these wild
creatures are turned loose without re-
straint."
