Another of New Britain's citizens who is in Europe and of whom noth- ing has been heard since the outbreak of the war is Henry M. Burckhardt of Winthrop street. MT. Burckhardt, who is we'll known 1n the city, when the war broke out was visiting rela- tives in Giessen, Germany, near Frankfort tam Main.

 Then came more furious smelling of our trenches and another mad rush across the open on our front. This time they were strongly supported by cavalry, who suffered terribly but came right up to our lines.
 Good old Way.
 We received them in the good old way, the front ranks with the bay onet and the rear ranks keeping up an incessant fire, and after a hard tussle they retired hastily. Just as they thought themselves safe our mounted men swooped down on them, cutting right and left.
 This sort of thing went on through the whole day without bringing the Germans any nearer to shifting us.

 After the last attack we lay down to sleep in our clo'.es but before sum rise we were told to abandon our position. Nobody knew why we had 10 but we obeyed without a murmur.

 We lay in our trenches without sound, and they crept nearer and nearer.

 "Germany has brought the stipend ous odds of three to one against the British soldiers, of whom we may well feel proud; but the situation is most critical. France has done everything in her power. Russia cannot help except by indirect pressure. Great Britain alone can find more men, and find them she must.
