DESCRIBES FIRST
GREAT BATTLE
OF THE Marine
God Was With Us" Says
French Officers Who Com
manded Sector.

Professor Claude Nichelon OF Paris,
France, who commanded sector No. IA
OF the French army at the first great
battle Of the Marine in the early part
Of the war, graphically described the
battle In an interview with a Palla-
dunn reporter Sunday night.
1.-THE battle began on September II,
1914, shortly after war was declared"
Prof. Michelon said I'VE fought
against the most overwhelming odds
imaginable. The German armies were
thoroughly equipped and prepared for
the struggle. Each man had an extra
suit, extra underwear extra shoes,
plenty to eat, drink and smoke, while
our armies lacked all Of these necessi-
ties. Yet we held them back. and
will ask you why? Because God was
on our side, the righteous side.
"The German armies had passed
through Belgium and were on the d.
rect road to Paris. In an open space
less than 10 miles square, more than
100000 men were engaged in the
battle. We had no trenches but fought,
as l said, in the open field.
40 Divisions to 10.
There were 40 divisions of the
German army all we'll equipped,
against 10 of the French, very poorly
equipped. For seven days we fought
and bled and died, knowing that we
were fighting for our lives and the
lives of our loved ones-for our honor
above all else.
Though we had very little food and
ammunition, the spirit of the French
never waivered, not a man showed
weakness.
Every hour messages came to us
from Paris begging that we hold them,
hold them, hold them, until our lead
ers at the capital could prepare to aid
the armies already in the field. And
our brave boys held them.
"Onthe night of September 10, 1914,
General Naunouly in communication
with General Gallieni, military govern
or of Paris, secured promise of final
combined effort. On the same night
10000 men, fresh and with the spirit
of Lafayette in their bosoms, came
from Paris. They had been recruited
from all parts of the city, from every
branch Of life. They were bankers,
professors, business men, marching
side by side with common laborers,
but all there for the same great cause.
Foch Sees Weak Spot.
This is what turned the tide Of the
battle. General Foch, now in supreme
command, saw weak spot in the kai-
sers line and he threw every available
division against it. The result was
that the German army was split in
two and the victory won.
This shows the spirit of France,
which is the same spirit of America
and all of our allies. 1t means that We
cannot lose"
Prof Michelon with his sector was
at Bercy, and his brigade in this bat
tie was in the very thickest Of the
fight.
He is modest regarding his own part
in the affair and requested urgently
that personality be not mentioned.
1T is all for France" he said, land
mere personality has no place in the
fields of battle We must forget selves
and fight to the last ditch for our
country, by no means for individual
honor
Prof Michelon is acquainted with

"One of the things they did that is
not generally known in this country
was to placard France in a manner
that was apparently innocent, but
proved in reality blazed trail for the
Kaisers armies. Before the war sales
men would call on grocery stores and
sell bullion cubes. If they could not
sell the cubes they would offer 1000
of them free to the grocer or dealer
as special inducemenr to get him
to handle that brand When they had
succeeded in placing an order with a
grocer in this way then the salesman
would put large colored signs out in
front of the store to advertise this
brand of soup cubes. These signs
were of yellow, red blue, green. and
many other colors, and the color of
them was the trail that the German
armies followed.
"a few months before the war
broke out these salesman called at
all of these grocery stores and placed
a new stock of bullion cubese in the
place, and this new stock proved to
have been poisoned. AS result of
this thousands of our men, women
and children died. That is the sys-
tenn Germany uses. Is it any wonder
we say they are cruel barbarians.
worthy the name Of Hun or anything
else we may see fit to call them?"
Tells Of Marine Battle.
The professor told briefly of the
first great battle of the Marine in
which he took an active part as the
commander of one of the sectors.
During the showing of the pictures
he explained the scenes in many of
which he was present on the field
Airplanes in action were seen, cat
erpillar tanks, big guns and ships, and
actual pictures of battles taken close
to the front line trenches.
There were also several scenes
taken recently showing the American
boys in the field. They were shown
arriving in France and General Perish
ing was seen with several detach-
ments in Paris where servicese were
held before thestatue of Lafayette
General Foch. now in supreme COM
mand, and with whom Prof. Michelon
is personally acquainted, was seen on
the field commanding the troops.

l sprang to the side of the babys
crib just as Dicky reached it, standing
in such a manner that he would have
to put me aside bodily if he raised
our crying child.

void of ony rancor or temper. IT

In two or three minutes he'll stop
crying and go to sleep. Then the next
time he cries to be taken up the task
of training him will be much easier.
] cannot have all this labor lost this
morning"
1t was a, critical moment in both
our lives. I think Dicky recognized it
as well as I although he was livid with
anger at my opposition. But if he took
up our baby he would have to push
me aside in a. manner that would hurt
me. That he was angry enough to do
it L knew. But would even his anger
lead him to SO far forget himself? This
was the question that waited an an
swor for a long half minute while my
husband glared at me.
Then he stepped back a pace, letting
his hands drop Imply at his sides.
The chivalric tradition that he mustn't
lift his hand against a, woman had
triumphed There was no knightly re-
straint upon his tongue, however. He
unloosened his speech, tipped with
venom.
"Oh-h-h!' he drawled with an ugly
little laugh. $50 she's starting in with

Despite my humiliation at the bitter
invective I couldn't repress a little
thrill of gratified triumph at his in
advertent admission that he had not
been in his room when he heard the
baby crying. I stole a glance at his

The theater was taken after two
hours hard fighting in which the
place was Tiddled with machine gun
bullets. One hundred and fifty Ger
man prisoners were captured when
the Germans finally hoisted the white
flag. An entire motion picture outfit,
including projection, films, piano and
screen was taken. In the projection
the Americans found a German
comedy reel ready to be shown.
The American Red Cross supply

sent to the theater which was turned
over bodily to the canteen work.
Within q few minutes 500 men were
in line being served by three Red

long, four hundred soldiers taking
their first chance to write home since

the burden of the comedy drama on
her Sharcly shoulders, aided by
famous Herbert Rawlinson, as her
leading man. The picture this time
is Back to the Woods, an adven-
ture in an elevator that led to g.
romance in the mountains. Monday
