In the late afternoon hours of the following

they are formed for festive parade: they are

review and a religious service are to precede the
march into London.
II is a memorable moment, that in which
Hindenburg with his staff comes riding up the
incline and on the hills south of Croydon sees
for the first time the turrets OF the city OF
London, a seven and "A half million city lies
at his feet. The capital Of a land which under

night.

the city. for In London RACES a terrible con-

August days. .
England has its Tannenberg. 1t has more. 1t
has its battle in the Teutoburger Forest, in
which 1t gave out of n hundred a hundred dead.
Twenty-Five hattalions OF her hero sons this
battle has cost Germany. England, however,
lost twenty-five brigades of those white and

The English attacking army has had her Her
mann's battle, And now the German trumpets
can sound storm upon the fortress Of North

Toward s o'clock, East Prussians. Hungarians
and Hanoverians on these two wings already
stand In English trenches. Where the monsters
from Essen and Pilsen hold house cleaning for
eleven hours they clear the air, and leave an
easy task to the storming columns. Already the
extreme spikes OF the two steers horns have
been thrust into the enemys flesh.
Now has come the greatest moment In linden
burg's Field Marshal life; through captive balloons
he gives the sign for n general attack upon
North Downs, The terrific thunderstorm that
has been raging for eight days on a front or
$50 kilomcters, between North Downs and Forest
Ridge, the storm that tears whole forests from
sout the earth and splinters rocks, Is now to sweep
across the hills into London
On the dot Of five there begins a creeping out
from all the trenches on the unending front; an
iron hurricane bowls against the hills. The
troops which are storming up hill. filled with the
proud thought Of their great German mission, are
not obedient to a Must; out OF their own inner
most impulse and yearning they would demand
atonement from the Brtons for all the blood
that had to flow in Europe because they. the
Britons. driven by greed of power, nourished the
criminal flame OF isolation plots.
The paths up hill are paths OF horror. The
storm march goes through blood, through a
cemetery a mile long, Behind tattered wire
works and battered park walls death has piled
up his booty. Whole battalions that gathered
here during the eight days past to attack the
German positions. Here lies a monster grave,
sunken and forgotten.
Now IA report arrives In Hindenburg's head
quarters that would not be believed did 1t not
come from "A German commander:
The English are dragging all captured Ger

A Bavarian general knows q way out.
He let's his Bavarians leave guns and cartridge
belts behind and gives them only hand grenadcs

they separate the sheep from the goats.

From shrubbery and trenches rise heart rend-

Mercilessly the battle RACES past all these

veloping march. After many arduous hours they
stand thicfiy gathered and covered from the
enemy's eye, In the northeast and northwest OF
the region where Hindenburg wants to build a
cannibal cage.
Hardly a quarter OF an hours rest after these
forced marches-then Basonet to the fore! The
battalions start on their ray shaped advance.
They have to walk over bodies, for finally they
walk that road OF horror that the negroes and
Gurkhas went before. simultaneously German
troops all around the gigantic quadrangle are
preparing for the storm.
As the Saxons see the body Of a Badenian reei-
mental commander. his nose cut of and his ears
torn out by the wild ones. there is no stopping
them! And the blind fury of their storm attack
fires the neighboring battalions to unheard Of
courage. From all sides the German troops are
now storming VIGOROUSLY against the positions
Of the English hirelings. Sooner than II had
been expected, the report can be brought to
Hindenburg that the rear wall OF the cannibal
cage has been accurately drawn "as ordered"

falls is trampled upon by those who follow. Dying
Gurkhas gurgle like the death rattle OF beasts Of
prey. Some babble and beg for mercy and try
to kiss the German soldiers hands. German
soldiers, however. have nothing more TO negotiate
with the souls Of slaves. .
Thousands upon thousands of dead lie here.
Shudder reigns.
Again comes the explicit command to make
prisoners.
Too late. England's, shame is too great to be

sand voices send jubilant greetings to the nightly
sky:
"Hurrah, Zeppelin"
No German soldier now has time to be tired!
Breath suppressed, they gaze after the spooky
birds of night. whose plumage CLEANS mysteri-
ously In the pale moonlight. A giant squadron
hauls out for the destructive blow-the blow
for which Germany has been hungering, hunger
ing and yearning for so many. many months

great tragedy is at hand, the tragedy OF the

Already lightning zick-zacks in the distance.
Fire beams with gigantic submits shoot up from

explosions tears the darkness of the night

upon the city Of pedlers and g%rudgers.
