them the road, as their advance hin-
dered troop movements. The fugitives,
therefore, were forced into the rain
soaked fields.
Toward evening we reached a vii
lage which had previously been sacked
and here we found some rest. The
mayor and two citizens Of this village
had been seized by the Germans and
taken away under cavalry escort. Just
why this had been done we were I'M
able to find out. We did know, how
ever, that almost every town was
obliged to give hostages. Most Of the
cattle We're taken along and large
herds were transported to the rear by
cavalry.
We belonged to the rear guards,
which explained why we were unable
to find anything to eat. There was alb
solutely nothing to the village where
we were now quartered After half
an hour with our hunger still unap-
peased we resumed our march. After
we had marched about three kil0me-
tiers we arrived at a spot which had
formerly been a bivouac. Advancing
armies had camped here perhaps eight
days before. Bread, which had been
plentiful then, lay strewn around On the
ground. In spite of Its water-soaked
condition 1t had been gathered up and
eaten with ravenous appetites. Moth
Ing mattered how our stOmachs were
filled If only our hunger might be APP
peased.
Night now came, yet no sleep nor
rest was in sight. No one knew how
much farther we would have to retire
before there would be respite. The
unfamiliar surroundings indicated to
us that we were not returning over the
road which we had traversed when, as
victors, we marched to the Marne.
With this and similar thoughts, hour
after hour passed. Some of us ran
along, others actually walked In their
sleep. Our boots were filled with wa
ter, yet we had to keep on. Thus the
night passed.
The next morning troops Of the
main army were placed In the rear
guard. They formed long columns
which they opened to let us pass
through, after which they closed
ranks. We gave a sigh Of relief, for
we were at last free of hostile artil-
lery fire. After marching about five
more hours, we Joined a company of
infantry which fortunately had saved
Its field kitchen. It was not quite
dark when we reached the village.
Here we were billeted in order to
get as much rest as possible. But we
all knew that we could rest only as
long as the rear guard was able to
keep back the enemy. We were placed
in the village school. Because Of the
shortage of provisions we were al
lowed to use our timed supplies, but
none of us had any left. This consist
ed Of some meat and bareback. It had
long since been eaten up and so we
were compelled to lie down with our
hunger still unsatlsied.

ness men fell into these water holes.
Thoroughly drenched we continued
our march. No attention was paid to
obstacles In the way over which we
were constantly stumbling. Speed was
the only aim. Dead men and horses
lay in the middle of the road, but no
one took pains to remove them.
At dawn we arrived at a little VII
lage, where we halted. We took pos
session and established as strong a
temporary defense as possible in the
time permitted. Our position was es-
tablished behind a cemetery wall. New
troops continued to arrive, but all were
badly disorganized. Cavalry, mounted
artillery and machine-gun detachments
followed. These had some sort Of
formation and while there was some
disorder the panic, which character
ized the other units, was missing here.
They also showed evidences Of having
suffered losses, but nothing In COM

We we're once more aroused at
eleven o'clock that night, and with the
utmost haste made ready to resume
our march. The night was pitch dark
and the rain continued. At daybreak
we passed the city Of St. Menehould.
This had not been harmed. From here
we turned to the east, closely pressed
by the French and In the afternoon we
reached ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Once
more we managed to get rest Of sew

ceeded again and maintained forced
march through the whole night. We
were now more exhausted than ever,
yet could not halt.

o'clock In the morning at which hour
we left the road and made camp.
There was a general sigh Of relief. for

Here we received our first re-

as well as the nature OF their equip

been hastily fitted out and transported.
None Of them had ever heard the
whistle Of a bullet and many asked
anxiously whether it was dangerous

Value of Sense of Smell
Proved in Discovery Of
the Substance Selenium

Have you an ambition to found a
new science? Why not measure n
smell? Can you tell whether one smell
is just twice as strong as anotherF
Can you measure the difference be-
tween one kind of smell and another?
1t is obvious that we have very many
different kinds of smells, from the od0r
of vioets down to asafetida, but until
you can measure their likenesses and
differences you can have no science
of odor, writes Alexander Graham Bell
in Youths Companion.
In the first place we have to define
an Odor. Is it an emanation OF mate
rial particles into the air or Is 1t u
form of vibration, like sound? If you
can decide that question, you Will have
the starting point for an entirely new
investigation. If odor is an emanahoh,
IT could be reflected from a mirror.
Light and sound and heat can be re-
fiected have even warmed my hands
at the reflection of fire In mirror
of polished metal.
That cultivation Of the sense OF
smell may be very valuable was proved
In the discovery of the substance
selenium. In experimenting with the
waste products obtained In manufac-
turing sulphuric acid, distinguished
chemist noticed the characteristic
smell of tellurium-an odor that has
no counterpart on earth or In heaven.
But the smell was the only indication
of the presence of the substance; all
the chemical reactions declared that
there was no telurium present In the
powder. The chemist therefore con
cluded that, if no tellurium was pres
ent, there must be a new substance
there, as yet undiscovered, which re-
sembled tellurium. When he had ex-
tracted from the mass all the materials
that he knew were present, he found
residue, which proved to be, as he had
