RUSSIAN ADVANCE
J | GAINS FORTRESS

Washington, Sept. 2s.-A slight ad-
vantage over the German left wing
by the allies and Russian advances
toward Cracow marked the capture of
Rzcazow. were indicated today in Of
fetal dispatches to the French en-
bassy.
Violent fighting was under way in
Servia in the neighborhood Of Krupanj
and as far as the river Drina, the dis
patch added.
The dispatches describing opera
tions in France which were of supple
mentary nature, added:
'At the end Of the day our troops
occupied front at Dompierre( south
west Of Peronna). Ribecourt and
Noyon were put on the defensive by
the Germans.
We occupy Berry-au-Bac.

brave and cool-headed man could have
done such a thing. 1t is also compre-
hensible that in the excitement of a
losing fight the Germans may have
continued their fire upon the English
boats, either In the belief that the
English boats were being lowered be-
cause the English destroyer had been
damaged, or sheerly in the savage
rage of the moment.
Here is another; incident of the
same of the same fight. German
prisoners had been taken on board
the destroyer Druid. They were lined
up on the deck. They turned and
shook hands with each other. Two
brothers--kissed each other. Then
they saluted the British commander:
I'VE are ready,":thev said.
For what?" he asked.
"To be shot" said they simply.
They implicitly believed that the
English had captured them only. to
put them to death. They fully be-
lieved that the English slaughtered
their prisoners as fast as they were
captured. They had been told so by
people who had seen the prisoners
killed-long ranks Of them.
Eve were told your officers killed
said they. "by shooting them through
the head" -:
When they learned fhe truth they
begged permission. tof shake hands
with the commanders of the Druid.
One of them made this Illuminating
comment.
MANY of u.s. said he. "have been
In England. At first it was hard to
believe that the English would do this
ANY more than we Germans would"
What Berlin War Office Said.
My American friend who has just
returned from Berlin said that Ger
many fully believes the stories of in
human atrocities which have been
charged against the allies.
I'VE We're told" said he. with a
circumstantiality that almost enforced
belief, OF the carcasses Of Alsace Ger
mans being dressed like those of
beeves and hung before their own
shops. The names of women who
had been violated and killed were
given, with all the horrible circum-
stances of the tragedies. We were
told that wounded men were abused
and killed. and that the dead bodies
on the battlefield were abominably
mistreated.
"'Before French surgeons dare to
perform an operation on one of their
own men, we heard, they first do an
Identical operation on a German pris-
oner. Then he is left to die."
1t is enough to admit that this war
Is being fought with savagery to
which the world has been stranger
of late years, and that the death roll
when that is finally made public, will
be absolutely appalling. 1t is known
that the Germans, fighting in the en-
emy's country, have laid it waste as a
desert, and that they have ruthlessly
crashed through the straw barrier Of
International law. But it will be well
to- confine belief to this until better
proof than mere affirmation is given
the charges of utter barbarism that
have been SO freely brought.

While UNDER FIRE
Wounded Austrian Officer
Dilates on the Psychology
Of the Battlefield.

Rotterdam, Sept. 2s.-The psych-
ology Of the battlefield gets rather
thorough and able treatment by an
Austrian reserve officer who, after
having been wounded in an engage
ment with the Russians. gave the fol-
lowing interview to Hungarian jour-
nalist. The officer in question was
with General Dankl in the fighting
southeast Of Krasnik.
Stoical on Battlefield.
you feel little or nothing while in
how things affect your mind. The
eyes see and the ears hear. but those
are perceptions which do not result in
impressions one could coordinate.
They do not even affect YOUR senti-
ments. But it is not cynicism for all
that, merely the lack of appreciation
of what takes place. My captain, a
alone respect as an officer but of whom
I also thought a great deal of per-
sonally, was leading his company into
fire when three bullets hit him in the
abdomen. saw him fall. but thought
nothing of it and marched on.
Destroy Foe as Best You Can.
"In spite of the fact that you have
no Ill feelings against the enemy, and
may not even fear him, YOU destroy
him as best you can. On the evening
before our first battle we were sitting
about the mess table most of us Of
ficers of the line. None of us had ever
/ meet the first Russian officer tomor-
row, my impulse will be to shake his
hand. My comrades agreed with me.
But on the following day was OBJ
liged to lay a number of Russians
low.
Shoot Without Anger.
MY Slovacs are the most phlegma-
soldiers. They shoot without anger,
but simply because they are fred
upon. One fights because one Is on
the battlefield and cannot do any Diff
ferent. The terrible thing is that often
You are shot at without being able to
return the fire. But this is not as
fear-inspiring as it is discouraging.
You learn to know what fear is when
you begin to realize that YOU might be
killed without killing somebody first.
Admits Being Scared.
"Of course. have been scared. That
was after l had been wounded. We
had been firing long time and when
next we advanced we came into deep
sandy road, out Of which he could not
get because of the enemy's terrible
fire.. We had to lie perfectly still
Wnlle ,Dullets SIMPLY poured over us.
That was awful"
The officer omitted to state that
while in this position he was sho,
three times in the arm. but continued
to lead his troops throughout the ac-
tion. -
Flags and Drums Useless,
s"F'lags:and drums are useless things
in warfare. What iss the use Of q, flag
which by It's bright colors reveals
your position, while the brown paint
on sabers shows it has been intended
to conceal? The drummer. on the
other hand, must beat his drum as he
goes to the attack. vet he Is expected
to run into the enemy unarmed,
