most graphic accounts of battle which has thus far come from the seat of conflict is furnished by G. Renwick. a correspondent for the New York Times and tho London Chronicle He writes
 When the history of the tremendous struggle in the neighborhood of Mons and Charleroi. a titanic combat last ing five days. is written, the historian win pen perhaps the most glorious chapter which has been or ever will be added to the history of the British and French arms.
 Whom in the course of time we arc able to weigh up all the features of that stupendous combat, in which were locked the vast. stern legions ot Prussion military autocracy and the pick of British and French military strength. the forces Of freedom; when we know the gain and loss the trage dy and heroism of it all. there VII, shine resplendently forth stirring story Of martial glory which will make it matter but little which way the advantage went
 From the lips of those who took par in it, from the wounded out of the bat tie of iants, from the refuees who fled from their blurred and blackened homesteads and their villages de- vonred by fire and shattered by shell. have during the last two days heard eaoucn 10 be able to piece together llc story of . struggle which dNarfA all the decisive battles of the world.
 It w6s fight against tne SneSJ CO., horts of the Kaiser. endeavoring to crush their way through the Allies lines by sheer weight of numbers aided by all the strength of the artil- iery that could be brought into action.
 British Spirit Unbroken
 The German Army ondeavored to break through the numerically infer Tior lines in front of it. It did not crush them back it did, but still I can give the assurance that the awful or deal through which the British forces passed has left them with all their spirit and with determination Oi which nothing will be asked in vain in the future stages of the campaign.

 It was all so quietly said that I could rot help casting my eyes assin over the trim. khaki-olad figure of the little soldier who had como through that ghastly ordeal. come through 1t to tell me a few short hours after it was over that he was eager to be. with the forces at the front again.
 They are not shots either It was really astounding what they could miss. I think we can beat everybody at craftsmanship"
 And the British artillery?' I asked.
 Why, it was magnificent If thero had only been more of it! But there the Germans got us. As it was, 1t was perhaps a good deal more than they ever expected. The artillerymen, too, were desperately cool. On one occa. sion, ! think it was late on Monday, we held a position about five or six hundred yards from the German lines. We could see them quite clearly. They were mostly standing up. Fresh troops. l think they were. being brought up for another attack
 The order was given to us to fix bayonets. It was evidently to be a charge the thing we, especially the

 "The Germans must have seen our bayonets flashing, for down they went on their faces. If there is one thing they fear, 1t is a bayonet attack There developed suddenly a hail of bullets. and the order to charge did not come.
 We retired a little way after that and before night fell advanced tC much the same position again. Jusi as darkness came we could see tha ground well in front of us simply lit tered with German dead. It cost us a lot, too.
 "At one time early next day we got within a couple of hundred yards of their dead I am sure we must have nearly wiped out those in front oi us."
 "At times" another soldier de clared i've could hardly hold oul rifles-they awere SO hot Often w' had in the trenches no cover of any sort We had just to dig up heap ol earth a foot high or SO, and' iyina behind 1t, pelt away for all we were worth.
 "Our shooting, ! can assure you was as steady as though our men wer' at the rifle ranges, and ever so ofter in front of our positions we could se' the dead accommodating in great heaps Far away on my right saw at on' time British cavalry charging w took the risk and looked up to see It Upon my word. it was a magnincen slghtl ! was too far off to see wha' happened when they got home Whiei tbpv did with magnificent dasn.
