A WARNING TO NoVELIsTs.

From The London Globe: 1t is
about time that our novelists bestir-
red themselves, and prepared for the
after-war period. Peace may break
out and find them totally unready.
At present, of course, all is well
with this Industrious class. With
heroic subalterns and smooth speak
ing square headed spies, and lovely
amateur nurses to put through their
PAGES, they can carry on.
But the time will come when they
will have to find an entirely fresh set
of puppets. They cannot go back to
the pre-war characters. Never par
ticularly realistic, these will be utter
ly impossible in the new world after
the war. Our standards will have

losses without obtaining more than
a temporary foothold in these con-
stantly contested positions.
The sector in question comprises
the Pantheon farm, astride the
Chemin- Des- Danes, and is menaced
at all times because of the DONNA
ton of 1t by the ancient Fort De
Malmaison, which is in the hands OF
the Germans. Early this morning the
Germans opened a most intense
bombardment of the French lines
and while the hurricane of shells was
still falling German forces compris-
ing from ten to twelve infantry bat
talions made a sudden rush into the
French positions.
A brigade Of the famous Chas-
seurs A-Pied had occupied the Sec
tor and was holding the line firmly.
The Frenchmen, however, were forc-
ed to fall back before the over
whelming numbers which followed
on the heels of the German shock
units brought especially from other
points of the line to lead the at
tack.
The Germans apparently consider
ed their success certain, as they
brought with them quantities of
barbed wire, trench mortars, boxes
Of grenades and fiame-throwers and
everything necessary to the rapid
organization of the captured position,
which, IL held, would give them com:
mand of a large section of the
Chemin -Des- Danes.
They failed, however, to take the
French spirit into their reckoning.
q ranni1
French Chasseurs, aided by engin-
GERS and reservists employed in road
making in the rear, organized coun-
ter attacks and despite the most des-
perate resistance, elected or killed
most of the German interlopers,
capturing large quantities Of their
material and re-establishing the line
almost entirely.
Hand to hand fighting with gren-
AIDES and bayonet was still progress
ing when the correspondent left this
evening while the shell craters and
communication trenches were en-
numbered with many German dead.
Many of their wounded were engulf-
ed in the waist deep mud caused by
the extremely heavy rain. The
French losses were severe, but moth
ing to those sustained by the Ger
mans.
Six Frenchmen who were captured
and taken to the second German line
attacked the sentry who was guard
ing them, escaped and returned to
the French lines. In the course of
the fighting a young German who
had raised his arms in token of sur
render threw two grenades which he
had hidden in the palms of his
hands =.

Pages and pages have been written
