(Passed by Censor) Napoleon never fought like the Austrlana and Itussluns are fight In? on this huge battle line. He didn't have the telephone, and of guns that would carry six miles he knew nothing. But for 200 miles to the left of us and for 200 miles to the right this afternoon this same sort of battle Is going on. Here and there along the front today the Rus sian Infantry und the Austrian Infan try will come Into clashes as one or the other trlea to reach a battery of the enemy that seems to have been weakened and then you'll have the sort of battle that Napoleon knew and fought only a "battlet," In this twentieth century. There Is a man sitting 150 miles away behind us who knowa every moment of the time just what Is go ing on along the whole vast line, just as the battery commandant with us when we were talking here knows all that is going on at the edge of his six gun fan. Aa I look at our own battery here and think of how little these men know of what they are doing, my mind goes back to a week ago when I aat In the office of this man who knows everything. Count Von Hertzendorf and as I talked to; him, tried to put myself In his place and failed. Out here on the firing line I can understand more fully than I could when I talked with him what tremendous duties rest on his shoulders and beyond Von Hertzen dorf is the chief who says "Do this" or "Do that " Hundreds of thou sands of men are obeying orders at this moment Jus-t as these men at the battery are, not kndwlng results, but blindly confident In their faith In the archduke commander and Von Hertzendorf. 1:15 p.-m But to get back to our shooting. The man In the hole be gins to talk through the telephone again. He yells out new numbers Somewhere hidden out there among the hills several miles away. Is an Austrian officer who can see where the first shell struck. Evidently the ranae was not what he wanted and he Is phoning from his hiding place U a new range and direction, oun 2 is shifted and re-tllted. Within a minute Its shell goes along its shriek ing way. We wait for more phone orders. They come Immediately. The range was perfect. Somewhere those shells are doing deadly work. There must be more of them. With a giant burring of explosives, shrieks and swishes, six sheila go on their way. There is more work to be done but we don't know what It la AH these men do Is to "load, shoot, load, shoot." listen to the shrieking shells and wonder what Jias happened. 1:S5 p. m. On the other side of the road, half a mile away. Is a sec ond battery., We go over there. On the way we find two boys digging a hole in the field. "There are two men dead of chol era in that house," they say, "and this g their grave." They have a wooden cross made roughly of two stick on the ground beside the hole Theoe two boys seem centuries old: they do not smile or even appear In terested or I photographed them as boys might have done. ' 05 p m. The second battery Is working like the first. They are the same size howitzers. Early this morn ing before daylight, a Russian shrap t-r l almost "found" them. They show us the hole In the earth. It Is four feet deep and twelve feet In diameter. For many feet nround the ground Is plowed up by skipping pieces of fly ing metal. 2:10 p. m. We come to a cholera hospital along the road. It Is an old farmhouse. The scene In the yard b Indescribable. I have my pencil and paper In hand but don't know what to write. All about me ara lying on straw under the trees throueh which the sunshine filters are Inanimate men. sick of cholera. Here b a soldler-prlest, wearing his army shoes, a red cross band on his arm, and a heavy overcoat. He wears a gold cloth apron over hi coat. A soldier rises weakly from the straw to his knees. He folds his hands before him and the priest bends over him. Thb is absolution for the dying that this priest b granting. This muttering soldier who b still strong enough to kneel upright and to cross himself, probably will be dead by night. surely by morning. And after the priest goes the soldier falb back weakly on the straw, pulls a dirtj blue handkerchief from his pockets and sobs out hb misery. But the Asiatic cholera will have Its way with him before many hours. Tho priest goes to another man and arous es him. Thb man seems stronger than the first. He gets to hb feet and falls on hb knees and raises hb face expectantly and hopefully to the churchman and takes his absolution without a sign of weakness. But the Red Cross doctors know when to call the priest. Four hours usually sees the finish of the Asiatic cholera vic tim and the priest can be called none too soon after the first unfailing. symptom b discovered. Thb symp tom is a death sentence and these men lying under the trees In the sun shine, their faces greenbh In hue. their eyes closed, are dying even If some of them have strength enough left to kneel upright as the priest blesses them. I have seen men kill ed; I've seen men banned; I'v seen men executed at a wall but thb sight I have hnppened upon by accident m Gallcia b one of tho most piteous J that the sun could ever shlno upon np fhi n. hnmnn belnir could ever behold. 1 got the picture with my. . - - . camera, and It burned Into my mind more cieany tnan any mm can ever show It. I'm going to put down the exact words as I wrote them at the moment while trying to force my siunned mind to grasp what I was seeing. They will show how weak words can be: "Army priest goes to side of little white shack where three men lie In straw In aunihlnc. They struggle to their knees, fold their hands as he bends over to hear one confess. Oth er two wait their turn with heads bowed. Their faces are terribly drawn and ghastly green. They'll be dead by morning or the priest would: the road from us was a camp of hun not have been called. There b mis- d reds, of wagons, horses and men- I .... II -VI- Was ery unspeakable about the yard.j Twelve men are dvlnir unrter th trees. Sunshine dripping on them. With almost their last strength thej crawl to their knees one after the other as the priest arouses them and mumble weakly into his ear. They fall back weekly as the priest straight ens up and raises hb hands In bless ing over them." That's the best I can do. I've never learned any words that would tell such a story as that and Adams, who has painted emperors and kings says there Is no brush and paint that can tell the story on canvas. "At last there b a picture I can't paint," he said. Aa for me, I've found a story I couldn't write. And above all this the artillery b booming and all around soldiers are working, cleaning horses, building fires, chopping wood, for the living must life and fight as well as the dy ing must die. One figure under a blanket, an un shaved soldier whom the priest has been unable to arouse, writhed and tossed about The priest hurried ov er to the corner of the yard and stood with outstretched hands and uplifted face, with a red cross doctor standing helplessly by his side, until the writh ing ceased with a sudden Jerk and the soldier of Autrla had come t hb end. 3:40 p. m. We are having our own experience with Russian shelb. Col onel John and Captain Mlakch had gone with us to the first battery when we Intended to say goodbye to the commandant when suddenly a shell burst on a hill two hundred paces from us. We could see the bits of bruJcen shell plough their way over the ground. Then came salvos of shelb. The Russians.

Shells dropped in the yara of a farm house 300 feet away. Across 'b" wa inancnuauw u dashed orr toward a mil whJch had a sate leeway, tror i minutes me shelb fell in our area First we would bear the very distinct "burr of a Russian battery; then, would come the growing shriek, of the shelb and by my watch, ten second later, some where around us there would be a terrific explosion which produced clouds of Intensely black smoke. Our battery returned salvo after salvo. The man at the phone yelled more numbers at the commandant who in turn yelled at the sixty men at the guns. Whether our firing did It or not. or whether the Russians lost tha range, no one could decide, but aa suddenly as It had begun, the Russian firing ceased In our direc tion and we ventured out to see what holes the Russian shelb had made We found five holes aa large as eel wounded horses but no one had been killed, that we could dbcover. At 5 o'clock It was pitch dark. We went back to the creek and climbed Into our wagon for the return to Przemysl. The reserve mei had come loun from the hillside where they had waited all day and were begin r.lng to cross the bridge towards the front. The white horse that we had seen among them in the morning was rwiH.-n hv a voun? captain with a brbtllne mustache. We passed hun dreds of campflres and then strings of wagons still filled the road as they had done in the morning, and as they had done every minute of the day and as they will do as long as there are hundreds of thousands of death hungry men or sickly, wounded dying men on the Przemysl battle ground. 6:30 p. m.
