the French counter this by claiming
to have made progress there: while
on the far eastern end of the line,
around the river Meuse the French
claim to have driven the last Ger
mans back across the river. and the
invaders say they have defeated all
attacks of the French in that quar-
ter.
The first Austrian staff report,

According to Field Marshall Poti-

Servian litter in the province of
Bovinia is progressing apace, while
the Austrian offensive in Servia is
proceeding satisfactorily.
The Servians and their Monteneg-

they have Sarajevo. the Bosnian caoi-

''HAIRBREATH HARRY
OF GERMAN ARMY
PULLS OFF HERO
STUNT

Berlin, Oct. "a daring decd OF
Two German officers attached to the
gath pioneers raised in the direction
of railroad on which the French
were transporting ammunition and
reinforcements greatly needed by
them to resist the Germans, accord
ing to details made public today.
The two officers penetrated the
French lines by swimming across
the Meuse and making their way
through swamps and over canals.
They passed the French OUTPOST and
finally reached the railroad embank-
ment, which they blew up with dy-
Mantle. After this they cut an un-
foreground telegraph and returned in
safety TO their own lines. The fol-
lowing details are given by lieu
tenant who was one of the partici-
pants in the daring encounter.
1.-The night of the - the wind
was blowing a hurricane. Part of
the German line was familiar to us.
particularly the near side of the
Meuse and the location of some of
the French outposts, but nothing was
known of the other side of the river
except the location of the railroad
that had been marked for destruc-
tion. The first part of the journey
was comparatively easy. Going for
ward quietly we soon came to the
canal on the left bank of the Meusc
wcihh was closely guarded. Finally
we arrived at a bridge. Here We
killed the French guard, making no
noise about it. After this we de-
scended into bog along the river
going further we crossed several can
ais by swimming. Our teeth chat
tering with cold, we finally reached
the banks of .he Meuse. which was
Lere about 80 yards wide We man
aged to swim the river. On the other
side another difficulty awaited us.
I there was n swamp at this point and
we could find 40 place to land. We
floated down stream until finally we
were fortunate enough to get a foot
ing. Then we climbed out.
1--WE ploughed ahead in mud often
above our knees, exercising the
greatest caution. It was the hardest
kind of going. Finally we reached
1.-THE spot selected for destruction. We
Il laid our mine and set and lighted
the time fuses. which we had carried
lup to this time tied in our hair. We
we're waiting for the explosion. but
lin the meantime we were still in
danger OF detection by French
troops not far away.
| The fuse worked the explosion on
time All at once French cavalry
patrol dashed up and diving into the
swamp and eluded into pursuit.
Later we came to a village and
at the point OF our revolvers We re-
Questioned a horse and wagon. Then
began wild ride back to our lines,

decoration of the iron cross for their

London, Oct. 8 e p. m.).-Unus-
ual activity in the publicity depart
ment of the German and Austrian
army headquarters has furnished an
account of the results Of current bat
ties differing so radically from those
from the camps of their opponents
as to render the widely divergent
statements irreconciliable.
In regard to the battle Of the Aisne
there is only single point on which
the French and German reports
agree. and that is that Gen. Won
Kluck still is going northward,
though at snail's pace, and that he
is so powerful that General Joffre
has been obliged to admit that the
German commander has been able to
make French detachment debouch-
ing from Arras fall back.
Further south. in the neighbor-
hood of Roye. according to the Ger
man staff. the French have been
dislodeed from their positions, but
the French communique declares
that all the German assaults there
were shattered.

Intimate Stories Told
by Survivors, of
Great Battle

London. Oct. 3.-The official in
formation bureau today issued an ac-
| count of some of the incidents of the
pends certain letters taken from Ger
man prisoners. This recital bears no
date. In the presentation of strik-
ing contrasts this war is no cXcep-
tion to the rule. Within sight of
the spot where. these words are being
f written. the chauffeur of u motor car
attached to the general staff Is max
ing his toilet In the open. After
washing his face and hands in Il
souce pan minus its handle, he care
fully brushes his hair with an old
nail brush, using the window of the
car in which he has slept as a look
ing glass. From the backward sweep
he gives his somewhat long locks it
is clear that he had once been a
dandy.
A letter from German prisoner
tells how the enemy interrupted
their needed rest and how, when the
Germans attempted to advance on
September 10th, the enemy. firing
from bushes and from houses swept
their trenches. This letter contin-
ues:
"On my right and left, wounded
comrades were complaining bitterly
that the enemy was shooting from
houses. They found too easy mark
in us. If we assumed an upright
position we were Immediately fired
upon. After about one hour, during
which our company lost about %
| men, we were forced to retire. This
brought our total strength down to
|SO We started with 251 men. We
had no officers left.
"On the 18th. at 4:3O in the morn
ing we reached a village where we
thought we would be able to rest.
| Before half an hour had passed,
however, the shrapnel had again
found us. We spent the afternoon in
the village. which was continuously
under shell fire. In spite of the fact
| that our guns were shclling the en-
emy's artillery, we heard our colonel
say our guns could not get at those
of the enemy satisfactorily because
] the latter were so well concealed.
1 Our condition is now really aw-
full, for we have to sleep out in all
kinds of weather. We were all look
ing forward to speedy end. We are
very badly off as regards food. Some
or our regiments can muster only
from three to four companies
| Another letter written during the
retreat in front of the French from
Mont Mirail says:
! "After a 36-hour march we had a
rest and arrived just in time for the
fight. For three days we did not
have a hot meal because our field
kitchens were lost We got a hot
meal YESTERDAY evening. Although
we are all Just ready to drop, we
must march on.
| I'VE found great quantities OF food
but fearing poison did not take pos

of the proprietor of the house and
compelled him to taste it first. We
are near Rheims after having gone
through hard. bloody and most hor-
