Miracle at Mons

Maude Radford Warren writes In the
Womans Home Companion about the
stories Of English soldiers that a mir
acle saved the outnrmbered British at
the retreat of Mons:
There was a lance corporal of ex-
cellent character for truthfulness VINO
swore that on August rs, when the Eng
lish were painfully retreating, he saw
strange luminous cloud and in 1t We're
three shapes, one larger than the others.
1t was above the Germans and racing
the British; the corporal said other men
with him saw it. The German cava.ry,
who were pushing back the British, were
pit in confusion; their horses plunged
and reared.
"A private, one Robert Cleaver, deposed
that when the British soldiers We're lying
without cover, opposed to the German
cavalry, vision on a luminous cloud
came like a flash between them and the
Germans, and the Germans scattered.
This vision has been called the Angel
of Mons. In Berlin, too, there were re-
ports of supernatural intervention. When
the German soldiers were asked why, In
that particular attack, since their num-
bers were overwhelming, they had not
entirely demolished the British. they re-
piled that the escape of their enemies
was due to witchcraft. A German Off
Ger is reported to have said that there
was no reasonable explanation. me
horses were going full speed, when. all
of sudden, some invisible power
stopped them. 1t was, he said, like go
ing rushing ahead and being pulled up
on the verge of precipice."
