 Quoting from the Colonels speech of last week, to the effect that MT. Wilson had watched the fortunes of the hundreds of Americans killed in Mexico as disinterestedly as if they had been rats pursued by terriers, MT. Untermyer said, Docs that appeal to you as @ truthful and temperate statement In the light of the anxious days and months and years that have been devoted by the president day and night in and out of session to the pa tient efforts to restore peace in Mex ico? Colonel Roosevelt knows that the picture he there draws is cruelty and willfully false.

THRILLING SCENE
 AS ALLIES CHARGE
Both Sides Brave and Fight to
 the Death

With The British Armies In France Sept. 4, via London, Sept. 5, 5:15 a. m. A wonderful spectacle of war was visible today from a high point near the Junction of the French and British armies. To the north lay @ dark patch-the ruins of Gui1lemont- fringed by a Wave-like earthly line of old, second-line German trenches facing Trones Wood across a space of ten city blocks, which is veined like | a frogs foot with trenches and run ways the British had dug.
 For six weeks the British burrowed against the Germans over this she'll
 ruptured, bullet-riddled field. Yester- day was a day of successful British
 effort to break through this German
 bulWark. The British artillery had
 not destroyed all of the deep dugouts,
 but the curtain of intensified shell fire
 kept the machine gunners down, and
 out of those dugouts after half an
 hours work the British infantry turned out some 600 prisoners.
 A little farther perhaps beyond Guillemont than three times the dis tance from second base to the home plate is a sunken road, at the north end of. which is another patch-the ruins of Ginchy-where the fighting between Briton and German surges back and forth between barricades and cellars and any kind of cover that the men can throw up out of the debris. The British seem to be firmly established in the sunken road All night they were digging themselves in to holes there. This was just as much their objective as second base Is to a
 baseball player who has just made a
 two base hit If they tried to go
 farther because the going Is easy they
 might be put out. That happened yes
 terday in some points of the attack, as it sometimes does, thanks to over
 eagerness.
 Bayonet to Bayonet.
 At the southern edge of the sunken
 road is finger point of the green
 Wedge Wood, and below this lay Fall
 femont Farm, where the British at
 tack stopped yesterday. Here the
 Prussian Guard left their trenches in
 a charge to meet the British attack
 half way. Thus they came bayonet
 to bayonet. The big guns could send
 no shells, the machine guns no bull
 lets for fear of hitting their own men.
 All the machinery of war, with its
 missiles which kill men at long range, formed a ring around these combat ants, who fought virtually to ext1nc- tion with cold steel. Today around Fa1femont Farm the picture was intimate yet incompre- hensible to observers in it's ebb and flow of attack. The contrast between Prussian and British methods stood out as in a panorama. The British charge, moving up with each unit seeming to act for itself and yet keep ing it's formation, and then the Ger man counter attack in a regular wave followed by another, dipping with the undulations of the ground.

get through without being hit was the question. Most of the time they were lost to view in mists of shell smoke.
 Armies Look Like Ants.
 Farther south the blue of the French mingled with the khaki of the British as the men, like ants, appeared and disappeared in the earth, and back of the lines of French and British guns and transport, British wounded and French wounded came along the same path with German prisoners
