EnqIfsh Wounded Man Re- counts Story of Mons
 Battle.

London. Sept. 1-The following story of the fighting near Mons was told to an Express reporter by one Of the British wounded who was brought here Monday.
 we had left the shelter of a little forest and opened out supported by the North Country regiment. Our col onel warned us that the German in fantry was advancing.
 We had hardly extended ourselves terfes let rip and gouged holes through them. Bravo, shouted my platoon commander as he watched through his glasses.
 Now the order was given to fix |bayonets Before the enemy arriNed the artillery fired until it was an in ferno At times we fired on aero planes but our shots were fneffec- tive. Our poor. gunners had an awful time, as the German cavalry got around behind us and charged right up to the guns. Very few of the Ger toons rushed to the rescue, empty1ng tbeir magazines as they ran.
 "A moment later the Germans were Ion us from the front We let them come until their breasts rose above the neighboring hillock and then de- cimated them. They fell back in con fusion and dropped to the ground.
 t.AnotI1er line came which we treat | ed the same way. Scores of machine guns were turned on us, however. and we were ordered to prepare tof charge
 ssOn the word of command we sprane from the ground as one man and with yell after yell, charged the ad- i vaneing Prussians. AS we neared their ranks we fired indiscrirafnately and only a few remained to cross bay. onets with us. The remainder rush Ted off and were shot in the back al they went They left more than hal I their regiment on the field in killed land wounded.''

GEN. LEMANs BRAVERY
Belgian Com1nander Failed to Make
 Captured Fort His Tomb.

Paris, Sept. 1@The Antwerp cor respondent of. the Petit Parisiepa gives this explanation of the presence of General Leman, the Belg:an com mander at Liege, in Magdelberg. as a prisoner of war
 ssOn August IT, General Lema.n was summoned by the Germans to sur render the Liege forts. He refused. but the situation was then desperate and as it was impossible to hold out against another bornbardment, he call- ed his officers together in Fort Le- noin and said:
 You have valiantly fought. for your country but the struggle is inn possible and it is foolish to try fur ther. Honor has been saved and the hour has come when we must sepa- rate I have decided to die here. Lo- noin shall be my tomb.'
 tAlI the officers declared that they would, still fight and die with their general Again the cannon thundered and then those in the fort were sil7 enced, after which a terrible explo- sion took place. General Lenan and his officers had blown themselves up. Alone of all in the fort, General Le- man survived and from the debris he was taken a prisoner to Magdelberg. It was on Emperor Williams order that he was allowed to keep his sword

B0ER WAR TRICK
 PLAYED BY ENGLISH

London, Sept 1-Iwounded men in the hospitals of BouIogne related to the Express correspondent their incl dents of the lighting between the Brit ish and Germans One of the men, the correspondent says, told of a trick which the British learned in the Boer war and which worked well against the Germans The story of the inci- dent follows.
 '.The enemy, before sending their i'm fantry against our positions, opened a hot artillery fire. Our artillery replied at first warmly and then gun after gun of the British batteries was si- lent,
 < Whats up now2' I asked a. com rade There were a. few minutes more of artillery fire from the Germans and then their infantry came on in solid formation We received them with ri- f1e fire Still they came on and still we moved them down They were get ting closer and he could plainly see the dense masses moving. Then sud denly the whole of our artillery opened fire.
 eSYoussee, they had not been silenced at all and 1t was a trick to draw the Germans on. They went down in whole fields, for our guns got them in open ground and of course they soon had enough. It was impossible for those behind to come on past the dead"

GERMAN KAISER IS
 READY FOR PEACE
 SAYS AMBASSADOR

Overtures for peace with honor on the part of the allies would be gladly received by Ka ser Wilhelm right now, if the views of Count Johann von tosthe United States as expressed yes terdaYe to a New York reporter, may be regarded as inspired.
 Count von .Berndorff declared that the aims of the German General Staff are attained, France is defeated, and the battle-ground in western Europe is in such a condition that Germany can now recall great numbers of troops to meet the Russian invasion
 4 resume Of the Ambassador r's views follows:
 The war is won The coalition has been defeated in western Europe. German defeat on land is now out. of the question
 The aims of the German General Staff have been attained The Allies have been so badly and so suddenly worsted that Germany is free to with draw, as she has begun to do,. great numbers of men to ward off the Rus sian invasion
 The defeat on the seas is acInow1- edged with the prevSso that the de featSwas to be expected, since the Ger man navy has always been meant sim ply to- defend the coast line, and that if the English assumed the growing E purpose they la:bored under a sadly mythical conception.
 ~t7ermany did not begin the war. She did not want the war. She is ready for peace at any moment
 German victory means a great ad- vance of democracy in the Empire The nation can never forget how the whole people rose as one man against an unjust attack. nor how the leader of the Socialists made speech amid the wild cheers of the Consezvattve e party, which stood up to a man. way ing their handkerchIefs at him.

STOLE OWN MOTOR
 TO LEAVE BREMEN

New York, Sept. 1-Three liners. bringing 1.67S passengers. mostly Americans from the war zone, arrived yesterday.
 The Minnehaha from Liverpool, which arrived late In the afternoon, brought 166, all travelling comfortably in first class.
 The San Giovanni from Genoa. which docked early yesterday. had CTS passengers, many of whom complain ed bitterly of their accommodations. Twenty-six of these were in the first cabin and 652 in the steerage.
 The Columbia arrived from Glasgow With 3S4 in the first cabin, 36S second and -133 steerage.
 Capt. F. H. Claret of the Atlantic Transport liner AIinnehaha showed his friends a letter from the British Ad- rniralty thanking him for his offer of service in the British navy and telling him there was no need at present The Minneha-ha received the following signal from three English battleships soon after she left Liverpool: Fine my's ships believed to be abroad dis guiSed as merchantmen"
 A sharp lookout was kept on the Minnehaha, but no hostile vessels were seen. There was one scare at 3 a. m on Sunday twenty miles from Nan tucket, when a flare of light suddenly shot out of the dark and played up dAQ QOWn the S1Qe or the vessel.
 What ship is that?" the stranger signalled. Capt Claret replied that it was the Minnehaha, bound for New York and the light disappeared. Capt Claret believes it was the cruiser Es- sex.
 L. c. Van Riper. who lives at the New Y ork Athletic Club, came in on the Minnehaha with a tale of many troubles in getting out of Germany with a motor car. The trouble all came because h1s chauffeur, David M Thomas, could speak a. little German.
 They were in Bremen on July 31 with a. new $6,o00 automobile. The next day they left for Hanover and were stopped eight times. In Han over, MT. Van Riper said, Thomas was arrested as a Russian spy by the po- lice because he was talking broken German After some difficulty his re- lease was obtained, but the next day he was again arrested at the. Royal Hotel in Hanover by an army officer who overheard a conversation in broken German.
 There was no gasolene to be, had in Hanover, so they put the car in a garage where there were forty other lin. Before going they took the switch key and disconnected the mag neto. They returned to Hanover on a troop train on August to find that the forty cars from the garage had been taken by the German army. Three mechanics were working over Mr. Van Riper's car. but could not get it started.
 By going from one drug store to another, bIIying a quart here and a gallon there, they got together fifteen gallons of benzinesi Then they stole the car from the garage. after brEbing the guards, and succeeded in crossing into Holland.

AMERICANS REFUSE TO
 PAY EXORBITANT RATES

New York, Sept The Italian steamer Princspesse Mafalda, charter ed by John B. Jones, American consul at Genoa at a cost of $1s4,ooO, reach ed New York today from Italy with 3ss wealthy Americans aboard and unoccupied cabins with space for 200 more. Some of the passengers paid $7,0O0 for a cabin; none paid less than s1OO and the average cost to all aboard was approximately $500
 The presence of empty cabins was explained by the declaration that, all though there were many Americans in Italy who wanted to return home, they were unwilling to pay the fares de manded for the voyage
 Reaching port at almost the same hour as the Principessa Mafalda was the Ho1land-Anerica liner Pyndam with 1885 passengers in the steerage-of whom 1.072 were Amert- cans. Scores of Ryndam's passengers were virtually without funds and 37 were absolutely destitute.

FOR WAR DEPARTMENT
So, los, 300 INCREASE OVER CUR

WORTHLESS CHECK
ACT NOT SWEEPING
Unless Given in a Present TPansac-
ton, and Then Proving Worthless,
There Is No Violation.

unless TWEEN III IFoSonG AEdhSSUO-
ton, and Then Proving Worthless,
There Is No Violation.
According to an opinion expressed
by a prominent Savannah lawyer and
concurred in by Representative Shell
by Myrick of that city the effective
ness of the recently enacted worth
less check act is not as sweeping as
thought.
The Savannah lawyer says that I'M
less the worthless check is given in a
present transaction there is no VIOLA
ton of the law.
If a check is given for past due
account, according to the same au-
thority, there is no liability under
the act, but the status of the account
remains the same on the creditors
books.
However, if a purchase is made of
goods and a check given at the same
time should prove worthless then the
maker of such check is liable for
prosecution under the law.
This Interpretation weakens the
law lust that much.
