 Boulder, crag and loose rock faded into gloom behind; in front on both hands ragged hillsides were be- ginning to close in and the wind, whose home is in Allah's refuse heap, whistled as it searched busily among the black ravines. Then presently the shadow of the thousand-foot- high Khyber walls began to cover them.
 After while Kings cheroot went out, and he threw it away. A little later Rewa Gunga threw away his cigarette. After that, the veriest five year-old among the Zakka Khels, watching sleepless over the rim of some stone watch tower, could have taken oath that the Khyber's unbur- fed dead were proving in search of empty graves. Probably their un- canny silence was their best protec- tion; but Rewa Gunga chose to break it after time.
 "King sahib!" he called softly, re- beating it louder and more loudly un- til King heard him. Slowly Not so fast! There are men among those boulders, and to go too fast is to make them think you are afraidl To seem afraid is to invite attack Gan we defend ourselves, with three firearms between us?

 They were at the point where the road begins to lead uphill, westward. leaving the bed of ravine and as- cending to join the highway built by British engineers. Below. to left and right, was pit-mouth gloom, shadows amid shadows, full of eerie whisper ings, and King felt the short hair on his neck begin to rise. He urged his horse forward. The Rangar followed him, close up, and both horse and mare sensed excitement.

 King threw away his less than half consumed cheroot and they started to walk together toward Kings camp. After a few minutes they arrived at point from which they could see the prisoners lined up in row facing Rewa Gunga. A less experienced eye than Kings or Courtenays could have recognized their attitude of reverent obedience. Within two minutes the Rangar stood facing them, looking more at ease than they.

On the French Front in France, Mon.
day, July l5.-tBy Associated PressI -
1t was brilliant operation in which
the American troops elected the enemy
from the positions he had gained tenn
porarily on the southern side of the
Msrne The Americans counter. attack
ed vigorously this evening with remark
able dash, throwing the Germans back
across the river near Fossoy.
Earlier in the day this part of the
line had been the scene of the most des-
perate fighting, when the Germans START
ed to throw pontoons across the stream
A few German elements at first sue
ceeded in getting over in boats, chasing
the allied troops away from the banks
while the German engineers began to lay
the bridges Six of these bridges formed
a lattice work and rapidly joined the
banks on either side Two Of the bridges
were most substantial structures and
between twenty and thirty feet in width.
French airplanes played great havoc
in the German ranks while the bridges
were under construction. One bombing
squadron, flying atNa height of 200 me-
tiers, dropped bombs on two of these
bridges while enemy troops were cross
ing. The brides were broken and the SOL
diers thrown into the river.
| The ayistors constantly bombed the
other bridges and did great execution
among the Germans on the bridges as
well as on the banks where the enemy
was concentrated in large numbers.
When the Germans had crossed the
river the fighting which already was
heavy, became terrific. The French and
Americans, holding the southern end, fell
back onto their principal combat posi-
tions. They fought all the way and
counter-attacked occasionally, creating
confusion in the ranks of the advancing
foe.
Then, late in the evening, the Amer
leans started dashing counter attack
blow, which resulted in the Germans re-
firing pell nell to the river.
The impression of the results of the
first days battle in the new German
smash on the French front is very good.
Nowhere along the stretch of many
miles did the enemy succeed in penetrat-

only on a small sector in the neighbor

PEACE MAKING
WITH GERMANY
NOT A GOOD JOB
The Rumanian Delegates Who Went at
the Invitation of the Germans Found
No Warm Welcome or Pleasant
Hospitality.

London, July l6 tBy Associated Press
correspondent recently in Rumania l,--
The business of making peace with Ger
many is not pleasant one for the per-
sons who have to conduct the negotia-
tions. The Rumanian delegates who
went down from Jassy in March at the
| invitation of the Germans found no
warm welcome or pleasant hospitality
awaiting them at Bucharest. I'VE were
treated as less than the dust, said one
of the delegates in picturesque Ruma-
MAN metaphor, on his return to Jsssy
These were merely the preliminary and
informal negotiations. The formal par
leys did not begin until some days later
The delegation which undertook these
| preliminary conversations was headed by
NJ. Papiniu, former Rumanian minister
at Constantinople, and his associates in.
cluded representatives of the principal
political parties.
| Although they had come TO Bucharest
at the personal invitation of the German
commander .in-chief, Field Marshal Won
Mackensen could give them only five
minutes Of his time. He kept them
standing and treated them with deliber-
ate coldness. His attitude was summed
up by his declaration: "You ought To be
glad that we are prepared to discuss
peace with you at all, instead of merely
imposing it upon You. We extend you
this favor only out OF consideration for
the heroic resistance of your army"
At the end Of the five minutes which
Won Maekensen allotted the delegates,
they were turned over to some subordi-
nate officer who discussed with them
whether the abdication of the king ought
to be included in the peace terms Only
! the most indefinite proposals could be
obtained from the German officers, and
| il was plain from Won Mackensen's con
versation that he had very limited pow
ers in these matters.
/ Neither on territorial questions nor re-
garding the rehabilitation of the Ru-
manian army could he speak definitely,
and it was stated that conversations
with German political personages
would be necessary to decide these sub
jects.
1t was very evident to the Rumanian
delegates that these preliminary CONVEX
stations had been asked for by Won Mack
/ SUseN merely WIN view W DuiluOAlHR
and brow beating Rumania The field
marshal, in a speech full of braggadocio,
said that his army was fully prepared
for business and that unless an imme.
date understanding was reached he
would begin "a terrible offensive" On
the other hand, if S,umania yielded quiet
ly, he promised that his troops would be
withdrawn and sent to another front.
He inquired specifically as to the
whereabouts Of the French, British and
American missions to Rumania and it
appeared TO the delegates that he hoped
to be able somehow to bag these mis-
sions and make them prisoners.
The subordinate German officer gave
the Rumanian delegates assurance Of
generous treatment on number Of
points, but none of these assurances
brought any result in the formal nego-
tiations which followed few days later.
