Masses of troops continued to rush
across the bridge until more than half
were safely over. The bridge further
above was not in such great demand,
and with the lessened congestion al
most all who crossed here were
already safe. We could see how the
first Of the French units had crossed,
but the bridge continued to stand.
The sergeant who manned the appa-
ratus at this bridge became restless
waiting for orders, and finally on his
own initiative blew it up. Some
Frenchmen and hundreds of Germans
upon the bridge found their graves in
the Marine.
At the same moment the officer
standing next to me received the order
to blow up the last bridge. He hest
tated to obey, for he could still see
many Germans on the other side. He
could see the race for the road leading
to the bridgehead as all sought safety
at the same instant. There a terrible
panic reigned. Many soldiers jumped
into the river and tried to swim across.
The pressure became greater as the
thousands still on the other side tried
to get back.
The message over the wire became
more and more insistent. Finally the

into the air hundreds of meters. Just
as a river at high tide races along,
taking with it all manner of debris, so
the surface of the Marine was covered
with wood, men, torn uniforms and
horses. Efforts to swim were futile,
yet soldiers continued to jump into the
river.

a general appeal for funds and
workers is being made by the Mary
land Section Of the National Surgi-
cal Dressings Committee OF Amer
ica, 50 that the activities Of the local
organization may be carried on at even
greater speed than in the past. The
need for these dressings abroad Is in
creasing all the time, and tireless en-
ergy Is being exercised by the local
women to make the supplies shipped
from this centre meet the increased
demand.
Since October, 1914, when the Mary
land section was first formed. more
than 1S,00o,000 dressings have been
sent to the Allies. They have been
shipped in varying quantities to Eng
land, Belgium, Italy, Serbia, Ro1-
mania, Greece, Russia. Africa, Syria,
Malta and to France. To this last
named ally have been sent 10000 900
Of these dressings Up to the decla-
ration Of war by America, not one ar
ticle sent from Maryland was lost or
failed to reach its destination. Since
last Spring, however, 10 cases of the
shipments from Baltimore have been
lost, going down on the Kansan or
other vessels.

entrance in the war the National Com
mittee was supplying. through its bu-
reau in Paris, 117O hospitals in
France alone Major Murphy, the
Red Cross chief in France, has sug-
gested that all OF the 5000 hospitals
in France be supplied from this
source. The goal has not yet been
reached, but 800 hospitals are now
being supplied. Since September IA,
when the local section began to send

At the time the removal of the case

much speculation as to his reasons,
but few persons ever got TO the bot

Mr. Green's action was tacit admis-

Messrs. Green and Grason there were
other smaller thrills during yester-
