After the Americana took the vil- laKO Monday, the Germans kept up a constant artillery and machine gun fire to drive them out. ThiH con tinued all day on Tuesday and to ward evening the enemy began to emerge from the Nesleti forest in a way that seemed to forecast a fresh attempt to take the village. Of (he fighting which ensued the correspon dent writes: "The Americana after three days of to-and fro fighting thru villages, had learned subtlety ami were de termined to have n real fight to the finish. They consequently withdrew as if retiring from Serlngea and the Germans crossed down from I he high ground convinced they had their opponents beaten.

"Then came tragic fighting.

"Then the Americans began to ad vance and slowly their encircling ring drew closer and the defenders saw their doom approaching and they redoubled their fire, but still the Americans came on unralterlng jlike the unavoidable stroke or rati1, j ''When the Americans reached the I precincts or the village their tire i ceased and with one wild yell they ! closed with the toe. The fierce up troar suddenly gave place to a strange silence as man grappled with man. Only the clash of steel on steel and the groans of the strli ken could be heard. "The Issue wns never In doubt for an instant. Al this kind or righting the American Is more than equal to the Prussian guardsman, and In a little more than ten minutes all was over. Kxcept for a few German pris oners, every German in the village had breathed his last. Such was the final capture of Seringes. "During the night the cnemv twice attempted to retake Kergy, but each time he was repulsed will heavy losses Then he made a tleree assault on Meurcy farm, cast of Seringes, which was piled with the idead which he lert there the day be- i fore a lien every man defending If .tied at hi nnvt There n.-ltl the I enemy was unsiicressrul throughout until steei nan rrossen aieei m tne i big farmyard nnd I hi- heiips or (.er man slain had been doubled In Ihe 1 ruins about It "This was elasslc fighting Indeed - man against man and the better to win.

"For years,' said Professor Barss; "growors have been at loss to know just how much various brands of ominerclal Bordeaux pastes were worth as compared with Ihe home made product as regards cost. strength and effectiveness. The Fed eral insecticide and fungicide board has analyzed spray materials of all kinds put on the market and found them so different in their pom por tion and value that derision was made to Issue a bulletin to enable growers lo determine for themselves just what any particular brand of copper spray Is worlh."
