London.-The terrific charge Of the
Germans in the face of deadly artillery
fire directed by the British at Mons Is
described in a dispatch received by
the Times from its correspondent al
Amiens.
He states that the following account
was given to him by a non-commis
stoned British officer, who had been
wounded: ,
AS the Germans came into view In
the open front of our hastily dug
trenches, u men opened on then
with steady fire that never went wide
We could see, after each of u vol
leys, clean-cut gaps in the ranks o.
the enemy, but they we're a game lot
They kept on closing up the gaps in
their ranks Is though they we're sc
many m%arionettes.
Flesh and blood, however, could not
stand this sort Of thing forever, and
after a while the Germans began to
come along with less confident step
Once the advancing line halted and
the men looked about them in a dazed
sort of way as we continued to rain
lead into them.
Soon the first line faded from view
and another line of the enemy, fresh
and determined, took their places and
offered themselves as targets for oul
guns. After a while those who were
left in that advancing line retreated
and another line took it's place. This
line stood up under fire as long as II
could, then it, too, gave way to an
other line. So 1t continued; one line
fighting to advance as long as it could,
and then, when we had riddled 1t, civ
Ing way to the next.
These tactics were pursued fol
hours. Each new line, ne matter how
much lead we poured into 1t, made
some slight advance, and when more
than a dozen lines had taken turns in
fighting their way towards us the Ger
mans had accomplished their aim
they had approached close enough to
US to hurl themselves, upon our
trenches.
And then it was that we sprung
our trap. The Germans, in their
frenzy to reach US in the trenches,
mad forgotten utterly that we might
have cavalry. And we did. 1t was
In hiding. Just at the moment that
the Germans were .swarming over our
breastworks the cavalry emerged from
Its hiding place and bore down upon
the German soldiers.
"Hell's fury blazed in the eyes OF
the Germans as they saw their new
foe and tried to grapple with it. But
1t was no use. They were beaten, and
quickly did they discover 1t. After
a brief battle with, the horsemen, the
Germans broke and ran, pursued by
our cavalrymen. They were cut down
like chaff as they fed, and only a very
few escaped.
The actions Of those Germans
whom we captured has shown us that
they hate us ten times worse than
they do the French. Some of the pris'
oners have told Us that they are sure
that If England had not Joined with
France the Germans would be In Paris
now debating terms Of peace"

"smokes" for the Soldiers.

Belgian boy scouts are going about
with barrows' collecting cigars, ciga-
rettes, and tobacco for soldiers at
the front. More than twenty thousand
cigars were given in two hours.
Many passers-by emptied their cigar
cases, dealers in cigars presented full
boxes, while nonsmokers contributed
money for the purchase Of cigars.

The wheat price is stimulated by
theories of a short war and an enor-
nous early 1915 export demand. The
winter acreage of Europe will be
greatly reduced.
Big Spring Demand.
AS to the big spring demand we
must wait on Argentina whose sur
plusses run 60, 100000 to 12O, 900, 900,
and if near the higher total-Argen-
tina will be a price factor next Janu-
airy.
In Austria-Hungary and France
alone, the wal may effect the raising
of $50, 100000 bushels Of winter
wheat. In Russia about Is percent
of the whole crop is winter whea1.
AS a price factor why look beyond
France. She raises 300 900, 1000 to
35O,0OO,0O0 wheat. She must seed 80
percentsof this in the coming autumn.
If blasted by war she would only
seed 40 to 70 ipercent.
This possibility is a warning of
what may come next year.
The American farmer undoubtedly
will hold his wheat. If the war
lasts a year-wheat will be the food
treasure of 1915.

Special Session of

Bogota, Colombia, June 9.-The Co

today, ratified the treaty with the
United States by which Colombia Is
to receive $25, 100000 and certain con-
cessions in the settlement of the long
standing dispute between the two
countries over Panama.
In both the Senate and House ratifi-
cation of the treaty met with opposi-
ton from the small minority compos-
ed of anti Progressives. They pro-
posed an amendment providing for an
increase in the money payment and
reserving for arbitration the claims of
Colombia based on "her rights in the
Panama Railroad and its contract pay
ments," which amounted to more than
is now offered by the United States.
The vote in the Senate was to ! and
in the House to ! for the treaty. The
municipalities and commercial organiza-
tons throughout the country transmitted
resolutions to Congress in favor of a
settlement with the United States, whose
friendship they pointed out would be for
the best interests of Colombia and its flu
ture progress.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June s.-The
United States is unwilling to extend
recognition to a new provisional Pres
ident if named according to the meth
cd prescribed by the Mexican dele
gates, which is that General Huerta
would appoint as minister of foreign
affairs the man who is agreed upon
here to head the new government.
The Washington administration con-
tends that if Gen. Huerta is permit
ted to name the foreign minister who,
by constitutional succession, would be
elevated to the Presidency, even
though the selection be made here,
such an act would be construed as
recognition of the Huerta government
On this issue the. mediating pleni-
potentiaries came to a fiat disagree
ment late today at a conference held
for consideration of the exact method
by which the new provisional govern
ment in Mexico would be created out
. of the present regime.

Southampton, Eng, June 9.-The

While the wind held true. favoring
both yachts equally, Shamrock ~

ing the finish when she had long
lead, the wind almost deserted-sffe her,
while the older boat, still holding a
good breeze rapidly closed the gap.
The course was from Hythe to War
ner lightship and return. At the start
a light southeasterly breeze was blow
ing. 1t was beat to the lightship
and in this windward work Shamrock
" showed marked superiority over
her rival, rounding the lightship with
a lead of nine minutes and 40 seconds.
The return journey involved both
running and reaching, in each of which
the challenger continued to increase
her lead while holding a good wind.
although her gain was not so great
as in the windward work. At one pc

challenger gained nearly five minutes.
According to American measure

TILLMAN VOTES
FOR REPEAL But
GR0WLS SOFTLY
His Common Sense Staggered by the Presi=
dents Demand==ShOuld Have Kept
Until After Election

Washington, June 9.-The Senate
marched steadily forward today to-
ward final action on the bill to re-
peal the tolls exemption clause Of the
Panama canal act, but leaders were
unwilling tonight to make confident
prediction as to the day when a vote
can be taken on the bill.
Action within the next day or two,
however, hardly can be avoided unless
there are unexpected developments.
The debate today for the most part
followed the old lines laid weeks ago,
but Senator Tillman of South Caro-
lima made an unusual speech crlticiz-
ing the President for bringing the
tolls before the country at this time
and endangering the chances of the
Democratic party in the congressional
elections next fall.
TiIman's Reason
Senator Tillman announced he would
vote for repeal only because he felt
his state party convention had freed
him from the tolls joker in the Balti-
more platform.
1T staggers my common sense and
| have been unable to understand just
why he projected the fight on his par
ty at this time Mr.. Tillman said, in
discussing the Presidents demand for
repeal
TT is of great Importance to the
Democratic party to control the House
at the next election, and believe the
President should have kept quiet un-
til that election was over"
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-06-10

This speech came at the close of
day devoted to debate on the tolls
bill. Senator Smith of Michigan had
finished his speech in opposition to re-
peal and Senator Lewis had replied to
that portion of it which charged the
President with seeking to win England
as an ally in the Mexican matter.
Senator Burton had spoken briefly in
favor of repeal and Senator Lipitt had
explained he would vote against re-
peal in order to preserve American
rights to exempt coastwise trade
should such rights exist.

Two-Hour Argument

For more than two hours the media
tors and American delegates argued
in vain and it was apparent when the
conferences ended that what hitherto
had been considered a matter OF de-
tail had suddenly developed a snag.
The Mexican delegates had not discuss
ed the point at any length with the
mediators, when the latter took it up
with the Americans. Although the
three South American diplomats ar
gued strongly from the Mexican view
point, there was good reason to be-
iieve tonight that the Mexican dele
gates would not insist on this arrange
ment If they found the United States
absolutely determined against it.
One of the Mexican delegates indi-
Gated that they regarded the form of
transition as technicality which
could be dispensed with if the Amer
lean government found it impossible to
agree to the methods suggested by
the Mexican delegates.
Medators Uphold Constitution
The mediators contended with vehe-
mence that the forms of the Mexican
Constitution should be preserved in
the present instance. The American
delegates are understood to have point
ed out that the Constitutionalists GER
tainly would never agree to a plan of
transition which legalized Huertas

Towed to Position

The yachts, with topmasts lowered
in order to negotiate the bridges, were
towed down the East river today from
upper Long Island sound amid shrill
demonstrations by steam shipping,
with the Defiance with her tender, Iro-
lita, and the tug Guiding Star, leading
the way. The Resolute, behind her ten
der, Cape Cod, followed, while the Van
lite, with a line from the City of SIAM
ford, brought up the rear. In the 10
mile run down the harbor from the
Narrows to Sandy Hook, the Defiance
met heavy sea head-on. She came
through, however, without starting a
seam. The wind had fallen somewhat
when the Resolute made the passage.
Once inside the Horse Shoe behind
Sandy Hook, the two yachts stepped
their topmasts and set up their stand
ing rigging.
The Vanitie seudded into Sea Gate
and anchored off the Atlantic Yacht
Club for the night. She will follow the
others outside in the morning.

Interest in the race tomorrow will
center largely in the Defiance. The tri-
city boat is practically an unknown
quantity. Since couple of short trials
IN the Sound, her rig, which was the
loftiest of the three. has been cut
down materially. Her mast has been
shortened feet; she will set only a
single head sail on any kind of a
course; no balloon jib will be carried
while her spinnaker will be hoisted
only to the masthead, instead of to
the topmast head These changes are
expected not only TO add to the sta
bility of the sloop, but will decrease
her sail rating so that the Vanitie
will be obliged to give her nearly two
minutes time allowance in 80 miles
The Resolute will still rate at the
bottom of the cup class, but will re-
coive loss than a minute from the De-
fiance.
