THE BATTLE OF THE MARINE

none the less the order was given to
cross
September 10 was spent in arrang-
ing this dashing and dangerous move
ment. The British got across eventu-
ally in several places and by vari-
Gus devices. Bulfin's men, followed
by the rest of the First Division of
Haig's army corps, passed the canal
bridge of Bourg with no loss or diff
ficulty The 11th Brigade of putt
eney's Third corps got across by
partly demolished bridge and ferry
at VenizeZl. They were followed by
the 18th Brigade. who established
themselves near Buoy. The 18th brf
gade was held up at Missy, but the
14th got across and lined up with
the men of the Third corps in the
neighborhood of ste Marguerite.
meeting with a considerable resist
ance from the Germans. Later.
Count Gleichen's 18th brigade also
got across. On the right Hamilton
got over two brigades of the Third
division. the Sth brigade crossing on
a single plank at Vailly and the 9Th

most of the bridges, and showed every
sign of being prepared to dispute the
crossing.
Missy bridge, facing the Fifth di-
vision, appeared at first to be intact,
but "A daring reconnaissance by Lieu
tenant Pennecuick, of the engineers,
showed that II was really badly dam
aged. Conde bridge was intact but
was so covered by high horseshoe
formation of hills upon the farther
side that II could not be used. and
remained throughout under control
Of the enemy. Bourg bridge, how
ever, in front of the First army corps
had for some unexplained reason
been left undamaged and this was
seized in the early morning of Sep
tember 13 by De Lisle's cavalry, fol-
lowed rapidly by BuIfins End bri-
gade 1t was on the face of 1t IL
somewhat desperate enterprise which
lay Immediately in front of the Brit
ish general If the enemy were still
retreating he could not afford to
slacken his pursuit while. on the 9th
er hand, If the enemy were merely
making feint Of resistance, then,
at all hazards the stream must be
forced and the rearguard driven in.
The German infantry could be seen
streaming up the roads on the farther
bank of the river but there were no
signs of what their next disposition
might be Air reconnaissance was
still precluded, and It was impossible
to say for certain which alternative
might prove to be correct, but Sir
John French's cavalry training mus:
incline him always to the braver
course. The officer who rode
through the Beers to Kimberley and
threw himself and his weary men
across the path of the formidable
Kronje was not likely to stand hes
itating upon the banks of the Aisne.
His personal opinion was that the en-
emy meant to stand and fight. but

1t was just 20 years ago today, on
Sept. 20, 1897. that Pendleton eXper-
fenced the greatest fire loss in her
history. The Pendleton Roller Mills,
owned at that time by w. s. Byers,
and an adjoining wheat and flour
warehouse were destroyed at a loss
of 100000.
Out of the ashes of that fire arose
the present great brick and stone
building which is the present home
of the Pendleton Roller Mills now
valued at three quarters OF a million
dollars
Old residents of Pendleton remem-
ber vividIy the great fire OF 90 years
ago The mill at that time was

burned with a fiercenes that would
not be denied. 1t was located on the
site of the present structure, corner
of East Court and Vincent streets.
Just across the street from the
court house. The wind swept the
flames toward the court house for
a time and 1t was feared that that
$50, 900 building would also be con-
sumed. So great was the danger
that prisoners were removed from

river. already conscious of a strong
rear-guard action, but not yet aware
that the whole German army had
halted and was turning at bay. on the
right De Lisle cavalrymen had push
ed up the slope from Bourg bridge
and reached as far as Vendresse,
where they were pulled up by the
German lines.
1t has been mentioned above that
the 11th and 18th brigades of the
Fourth division had passed the river
at Venizel These troops were across
in the early afternoon, and they at
once advanced, and proved that in
that portion of the field the enemy
were undoubtedly standing fast. The
1lth brigade. which was more to the
north. had only a constant shell-fire
TO endure. but the 18th, pushing for
ward through Bucy-le-long. found it
self In front of a line of woods from
which there swept a heavy machine
gun and rifle-fire. The advance was
headed by the End Lancashire fusil-

ing fusiliers. 1t was across open
ground and under heavy fire, but 1t
was admirably carried out. In places
where the machine-guns had got the
exact range the stricken fusiliers lay
dead or wounded with accurate inter-
walls, like a firing-line on field
day The losses were heavy, especial
ly in the Lancashire fusiliers Col
Unel Griffin was wounded, and five
of his officers with ESQ men were
among the casualties 1t should be
recorded that fresh supplies OF am
munition were brought up at person"

ter of war, in his motor-car. The
contest continued until dusk, when
the troops waited for the battle of
next day under such cover as they
could find.
The crossing of the stream may be-
said, upon the one side, to mark the
end of the battle and pursuit of the
Marne, while. on the other it com
menced that interminable Battle OF
the Aisne which was destined to full
fill Bloch's prophecies and to set the
type of all great modern engagements.
The prolonged struggles Of the Man

minds for such a development, but

battle of the future was to be the
siege of the past. Men remem bered
with a smile Bernhardi's confident
assertion that a German battle would
be decided in one day, and that his
countrymen would never be constrain-
ed to fight in defensive trenches.
The moral effect of the Battle OF
the Marne was greater than its ma
terial gains The latter, so far as
the British were concerned. did nor
exceed 5000 prisoners, 20 guns and
quantity of transport. The total loss
es, however, were very heavy.
Apart from the losses, the mere fact
that a great Germany army had been
hustled across 80 miles of country
had been driven from river to river
and had finally taken refuge in
trenches in order to hold their
ground, was a great announcement
to the allies. From that time they
felt assured that with anything like
equal numbers they had an ascend
ancy over their opponents.
