SLAUGHTER Of REIR[AnhG GERMANS
WHO FAILED BEFORE GATES Of PARIS
away. In the field, the French
are now declared to be fighting
like demons.
ANXIOUS TO CHARGE.

| xANAxOO0 ~ O11xAN0c.
The chief difficulty the
French officers are now expert
encing is the curbing Of the
impetuosity Of their men. The
French soldiers want to use
the bayonet. They chafe
when held back 30 that the
way may be cleared with the
artillery. When the orders
come to charge, they sweep
down on the German lines with
utter disregard Of death.
The French offensive, drilled
into every French school boy
since 1870, is now in full
swing everywhere.
The wisdom of General
iJoffre's strategy is now being
felt. While the harrassed al
lied armies were withdrawing
lin perfect shape before the
German onslaught, the great
bulk Of the French cavalry
was held in the concentration
camps at the south. The Brit
Iish cavalry and a small per-
centage of the French was util-
lied to cover the retreat.
Today the French cavalry,
admittedly the greatest mount
ed force in the world, is COW
ering itself with glory. It is
pursuing the retreating Ger
mans everywhere. Charging
their rear guards and breaking
through their defensive lines,
the French cavalry is inflict-
ing desperate losses on the re-
ltiring columns.
! Heavy rains have added to
the German difficulties. The
roads have been flooded
bitches and small streams are
overflowing. The big rivers,
heretofore sluggish, are now
swift torrents and hard to
cross. The German transport
has been badly cut up. Their
store Of pontoon bridges has
been exhausted and at many
points it is necessary for the
retreating troops to swim the
rivers at fords.
Emphasizing the fact that
THE German retirement is an
enforced retreat and not a
strategic movement, is the
statement by General Gallieni,
military governor Of Paris,
that the Germans are being
pressed 50 hard by the French
that they are unable to bury
their dead. This is especially
the case at Vitry lie Francois
where the German center, af-
ter desperately trying for four
days to break through the
French lines, was finally driv-
en- from it's entrenched posi-
tions with enormous losses.
BURNING THE DEAD.
It is stated that whole fields
and the road sides are filed
with German dead. At certain
pcints the scene resembles log
piles, the men lying one on
