BOULOGNE. Sept. iz.- (Dispatch to The London standard) - have seen and marveled at the torrent Of human fighting machines which Germany has poured into this unnappy country
 have watched that mosy wonder ful sight, the German Army on the march, and l have witnessed the still mcre remarkable spectacle German troops going into action.
 lt was after the occupation of Brus- sells and the fighting at Mons that ! found myself resting in a French vil- lage through which the German in- yaders were passing.
 The hum of a motor high up in the air was the first intimation of their approach The villagers rushed out and Razed skyward A Taube aero plane was lowering above us not very distant and soon we saw others in the leaders wake It was quite evi- dent that they were spying out the land thoroughly. looking for possible dangers to the advancing hosts and transmitting information to the marching Germans
 While we watched. one of the Taube machines crumpled up and fell headlong to the ground Both occu- pants pitched out in mid-air and dropped a sheer 500 feet to certain death
 But how utterly Insignificant that tragic incident seemedi Two German airhen dead. two German families flung into mourning but the German hosts marched on and the destruction of these human atoms of a mighty whole was of no military consequence whatever
 Round the bend of the road came the vanguard, consisting of big con tingent of military cyclist with rifles swung over their shoulders Knowing the way was clear for them they rode right through the village at a slow pace Close behind came a regi- ment of cavalry and then field artil- lary, the horses almost worn out and the drivers thrashed them until they maintained the pace that suited the requirements of a forced march
 Then came more cavalry and corps of various descriptions, and then in- fantry
 The road was wide and they marched eight abreast There seemed no end to them Such typical German faces and figures as they had These men were short rather than tall stal wart in form, with round heads and closely cropped hair Their gray-greer uniforms were covered with dust
 Some of the corps were singing sen timental folk songs, but many were staggering along barely able to hold their places in the ranks
 There is no room in the German Army for weddings, who receive scant mercy from their comrades OI superiors. The non-commissioned of icers were relentlessly stern in tn, maintenance of march discipline They passed along the lines ana cursed tagging soldiers with a vigor 'Ao h4 hhaAAl9 lhaN oNNAAAth tb bNFlo W them

 Other men who dropped by the way side were prodded with bayOnets un til the pain goaded them to fresh ef forts One private. accused or simu lating exhaustion, was kicked with non-commissioned officers heavy boot till he rose Co his feet and wen on marching
 Complete exhaustion and utter de spair were written on some faces but they have gone on, the majoritl of them The bulk of the troops, i must be recorded, seemed to stan, the test of endurance successfully thanks to their perfect training il times of peace.
