right on. The fieldpieces cut holes
through their mass, but they did not

ion that no Drawer men ever charged
under fire.
"They wasn't 'ardly fifty feet away

But the Germans kept on coming.
Clark could see them falling as they
came, but they kept on coming. They
were innumerable. They swept down
the British force by sheer weight
They aren't fawncy with the bay
onet like we are" said Clark. "They
just dig in like they were pitching
hay"
No one will ever make him believe
that the German has a distaste for
cold steel any more The Germans
went on and over the Britons. Clark
found himself where the British line
had ended and near clump of small
trees.

More than one hundred other Eng

big enough to hide a COW. But they

bad their guns, and as soon as they
came to cover they reformed and
hiked on until they came to another

HUNTING A BATTLE
Irwin Cobb Tells How He Be-
came "Guest" of the Kaiser.
Equipped With Spawned Eorse and
TWO Bicycles, He and McCutcheon
Walked Into German Army.

London.-Irvin S. Cobb, a magazine
writer, and John T. McCutcheon, car.
toonist, who were arrested during the
advance of the German troops through
Belgium, are still the guests" of the
German government at Aix-la-Cha,
pelle, according to L. L. Winslow, sec
rotary to Ambassador Gerard, who ar
rived here from Berlin in charge Of
200 English refugees, mostly women
and children.
The adventures of Cobb and Nc
Cutcheon were related to Winslow by
Cobb.
This is Cobbs description:
"McCutcheon and l promenaded out
to Brussels on a sunshiny day to in
spect few parcels of Belgian real
estate, comprising the battlefield of
Waterloo. Soon we heard firing. SO
we hurried toward it by a very forced
march The cannonade seemed to
elude us playfully, and after walking
IL miles we invested in a horse and
wagon. The wagon was all right, but
the horse had retired from business
several years ago.
after the horse had fallen down
nonchalantly thrice, had a talk with
him. He said that McCutcheon, who
had the reins, didn't know enough
about driving to drive nail, and in.
sisted that he would go no further
until we got another coachman. We
compromised with the noble animal
by purchasing two bicycles, which
had been left in Flanders by the
Spanish invaders a few years before.
Through the kindness of a Belgian
officer, we also invested in two passes,
which he told US were good for any
performance in the Belgian theater
of war.
THE artillery firing we had been
pursuing all this time suddenly
turned and pursued US, and a few
moments later we found ourselves
leading our slightly spawned bicycles
into the German armys pleasant
midst. Several regiments were as
signed to conduct us to the comman
der-in-chief, who, with splendid cour
tesy, assured us of Germany's hospi
tality, provided we did not happen to
be shot as spies in the meantime.
"The latter supposition appealed
more forcibly to him when he in
spected the passes given us by the
Belgian officer, for he remarked that
our particular variety of pass could
be carried only by Belgian spy. Be
sides, he pointed out that our bicycles
were of a type handed down from
father to son among Belgian spies.
while endeavoring to dispel these
Illusions somebody stole the afore
said bicycles. l was so grateful fol
this kind act that l didn't care VIVA,
the Germans did to us.
"As McCutcheon, however, kept OF
making the eagle scream for us sc
loudly, we ultimately became the kais
ers guests here in Aix-la- ChapellI

wounded men are being sent back
from the shattered British front east

stupid British censor office would

He agreed with me. He was nice,

him. He was smoking huge pipe.
"They fight WE'LL" said he. They're
afraid Of nothing. They come on
when the dead are lying in heaps be-
fore them"
The war office has persistently put
out stories that the Germans cannot
stand the bayonet, along with COM
panion piece that the Germans ham,

''The ell they cawn't stand the bay

don't know what it is to be a-feared.

We are in a fairly safe position but it is not pleasant. Yes terday was terrible day. We had to gain ground through a wooded, horseshoe shaped hollow. Eventually we got up and found the enemy in a horseshoe position.
 I've pushed on when all of sudden the foremost German, all over the field advanced. They wer either waving white flags or their hands up. Instead of taking no notice the men got up as if the battle were over, I shouted my self oarse, telling them to go on fighting. It was of no avail, and five minutes or less a second line Of Germans came over the skyline and began firing on Us. The men were then in groups. We got a line formed and opened fire. Some of our men were in front and of course We tried tC avoid them.
