part of the -German army proposes to
maintain merely a defensive poeition
in France while the main body makes
a stand on the frontier, bat optimists
here believe it improbable that Em
peror William's troops again during
the present war will assume a general
offensive on French territory. They
contend, moreover, that a retirement
of the German forces from French soil
must soon become inevitable unless the
offensive, is assumed.
British eyes see further encourage
ment in the backward movement of the
army of Crown Prince Frederick Wil
liam, which, it is argued, means the
failure to establish .'- for the Invaders
new and shorter communications by
way of Metz and the Rhine.
Dispatches say Vienna newspapers
continue silent concerning the opera
tions in Galicia and against the Serv
ians, but they are appealing daily for
more nurses, doctors and medical sup
plies to be sent to the front. The Aus
trian hospital equipment is said to be
woefully inadequate, the wounded often
lying on the field from 24 to 48 hours,
greatly Increasing not only the suf
fering, but the mortality.
From Trieste, the principal Austrian
seaport on the Adriatic Sea. concerning
whose attitude in case of an attack
there has been much speculation, came
a statement today from the governor
that In case of being attacked he would
not evacuate the city.
"Trieste." he said, "will resist. The
Anglo-French fleet, however, before
attacking Trieste must deal with the
Austrian fleet at Pola."

BATTLE ISXCKEDINGIiX VIOLENT
Toll of British Officers Out of Pro-
portion to Losses in Ranks.
LONDON, Sept. 21. Graphic descrip
tions from correspondents hovering in
the wake of the armies in France de
clare that the past week's battles ex
ceeded in violence anything since the
struggle at Port Arthur. There are
stories of charges unequalled in the
annals of British arms since Balaklava,
and the casualty lists, which filter
through day by day confirm the re
ports, which otherwise might be taken
as an exaggeration. -
The part that British officers are
taking is illustrated by bare testi
mony of the casualty list.' Seven hun
dred and ninety-seven officers are
among the killed, wounded and miss
ing, which is a percentage out of all
proportion to the losses in the ranks.
One hundred and thirty officers have
been killed, 388 have been wounded an
39 are missing. Many of the misslnir
probably must later be recorded as
Killed or wounded.
Coldstream Officers Rjik tint . ;
The Coldstream Guards regiment

known families in the kingdom are ii

the Coldstream Guards, killed in ac

Right Honorable George Wyndham, at
one time Chief Secretary for Ireland.
Lieutenant Lockwood, of the same

J-ieutenant-Colonel the Right Honor
able A. R. M. Lockwood, one of the
most popular members of the House of
Commons. Saturday's list announced
the death of Lord Guernsey, the heir

Captives Semd Letters.
The official press bureau issued the
following announcement:
"It may be of some interest and com
fort to the relatives of the officers
whose names appear as missing or
wounded and missing in the casualty
lists issued by the War Office after
the termination of the retreat from
Mons, to know that letters have begun
arriving in London from German hos
pitals, in which some of them are said
to be lying. Several of them appear to
be at Paderborn, Westphalia.
-A letter from the chief surgeon of
the hospital there to the wife of a
wounded officer is given. It says:
"Dear Madam Your husband is stay

Certainly it was not the will of our

and so can the German nation answer

BERLIN. Sept. 21. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) "A cry of in
dignation has been called forth
throughout the world," writes W.
Scheuermann, a correspondent of sev
eral German newspapers who accom
panies the German general staff, "by
the so-called cruelty with which the
Germans are carrying on this war.
"In all countries that get their news
through Knerlish and French sources,
stories of German barbarism are re
peated. It Is therefore doubly the
duty for a war correspondent who can
BPeak of what his own eyes have seen
to report what he saw and what he can
answer for before' the forum of his
torical truth.
"I have spent days in the worst
franc-tlreur regions of Belgium and
France. My first impressions of the
horrors of war were obtained at Bat
tice. on the road from Aachen to Liege,
where fighting between franc-tireurs
and our soldiers occurred. Instead of a
flourishing village, with clean houses
and neat villages, one sees there today
charred ruins stretching along the
hisrhway for a mile.
"I saw things there that I shall re
member as long as I live.
Pitiful Sights "Witnessed.
"I have passed through a village that
was quite burnt out, where only a few
German soldiers were standing guard
no other living beings visible any
where, but when I came to the door
way of a house that had fallen I saw
in what probably had been the living
room a white - haired woman with a
kitchen knife .raking the debris. I
called to her. She did not hear me.
Her face was like a gray stone, and her
eyes fixed as"1n death.
"In a front garden, which had been
scorched by the flames, a woman in a
black dress was crouching and weep
ing. I have stood at many an open
grave, but I have never heard any
body weep like that woman. The sound
of it will ring in my ears forever as
one of the most terrible experiences of
my life. '
Cursed Called on Government.
"But a curse, and thrice a curse, on
those who caused all this misery. For
them there is no punishment in this
world sufficient to atone for their evil
deed. And when they now denounce
our brave warriors as the cause of this
desolation, this latter slander, shame
ful as it is, does not weigh much in
comparison with what they . actually
did.
"Our German soldiers and landwehr
men marched into, the country of the
enemy with the same order and disci
pline that they maintain on tne drill
irround and in army maneuvers. Wher
ever we came we guaranteed to the
inhabitants security for life and prop
erty. In Battice the German procla
mation promising the Belgians peace
and the integrity of their territory
was still seen on the walls of the burnt
houses.
"Now, what happened in Battice,
Clermont, Herve, Fleron and other Bel
gian places was, 'with singular simi
larity, as follows:
"The inhabitants let the Germans
march in, received them with cringing
friendliness, offered them wine in su
perfluous quantities and then fell on
them at night. It goes without saying
for mere self-preservation demanded
it that every murdered German was
avenged. Where the murderers could
be caught they were brought before a
court-martial, and if their guilt was
evident they were shot or hanged.
Self-Control Is Illustrated.
"All this was done in perfect order.
How far the self-control of our troops
extended was proved to me by an ex
ample only day before yesterday. -At
the entrance to the French fortress of
Longwy, just captured, I saw German
soldiers bring in a troop of franc
tireurs, quite old fellows, and among
them a few common thieves scarcely
beyond schoolboy age, all of them with
criminal faces of the hardest type. Pity
that we did not photograph them so
that the world might see what hideous
scamps are killing our men. v
"What did these men do?" demanded
an officer. 'They put on Red Cross
scarfs, then went on the battlefield and
mutilated our wounded. We caught
them in the act,' was the reply.
Young Girl Is Shot.
"The reader should know what was
the character of this mutilation. The
eyes of our wounded men, lying help
less in their pain on the battlefield,
were cut out with knives. But this
was not by far the most cruel thing
these beasts invented. Old and young
men and women were caught as hyenas
of the battlefield and they received their
reward.
"At Vise a 16-year-old girl had to be
shot because she was caught in the act
of mutilating our wounded.
"There is no mercy-for such deeds
and there can be none.
"Beyond all doubt this franc-tireur
warfare against us was organized.
Otherwise it would be impossible to ex
plain the uniform character of the
mutilations, attacks on field hospitals.
where physicians, the wounded and
even the nurses fell victims of these
predatory rascals: in the attacks in
villages and cities, the same tactics
were repeated over and over again.
Suddenly the entire village is in pos
session of arms, and. in two cases, even
of machine guns.
Priest Around Armina; Klock.
"In Etalle, between Arlon and Sedan.
the priest was caught in the act of
distributing arms and ammunition to
his parishioners. In Clermant, on the
other hand, the priest tried in vain to
dissuade the citizens from listening
to the Mayor, who was giving them
arms and instigating them to fall on
the Germans from ambush. But even
where, the people fired from the rear
on our columns as they marched
through we did not make the whole
village responsible, but only stormed
and burned the houses from which
shots were fired. -
"In Herbe, Fleuron and other. villages
there are houses standing between
others that were burned down. On
their doors are written in chalk such
words as these: 'House searched,
everything in order; 'Good people,
upare them"; 'inmates absent, spare
house': 'husband is soldier in the field,
spare house.'
"Such chivalry is practiced towards
an absent enemy. Inhabitants of
houses which did not rise against us

DNDON.' Sept. 21. The correspondent
of, the Daily Mail In France de
scribes the death of General Neil
Douglass Findlay, of the Royal Artil
lery, as follows:
"When at down, on Saturday, the
British advance Ncontinued toward
Soissons, the enemy was fighting an
exceptionally fierce rearguard action.
A terrible shell fire was directed
against our artillery under General
Findlay, temporarily situated In a val
ley by the Village of Prise. It seemed
a matter of moments when we should
have to spike our guns, and General
Findlay saw the urgency for action.
'Boys,' his voice echoed down the
line, 'we are going to get every gun
into position ' Then ' deliberately the
General approached the regimental
chaplain, kneeling beside a gunner.
" 'Here are some of my personal be
longings, chaplain. See that they don't
go astray.'
"One by one our guns began to blaze
away and the General had a word of
encouragement and advice for every
man. In vain his staff tried to per
suade him to leave the danger zone.
Our range was perfect, the German
fire slackened and died away, and
with a yell our men prepared to ad
vance. The outburst came too soon.
One parting shell, exploding In a con
tact with Findlay s horse, shattered
man and beast."

under date of Friday, gives a descrip
tion of the ' German counter-attack,
made on Wednesday, to recover ground
lost on the Alsne. He says: ,
"They came on singing, with their
drums beating behind them. Even at
night they had their band to play them
to the attack. we met tnem in me
holes they had themselves dug, and,
as a French soldier, who told the story.
said:
" 'You know In a fight like that we
had them at an advantage, for our
bayonets are longer than -theirs, only
these straps about our chests and shoul
ders get in our way and hinder our
movements. The Germans are better
off in that respect and so are your
soldiers, as they can use their arms
freely. The Germans would break for
a while and go back, but as soon as
we sent them running another lot would
come on, and so it went time after
time.' "
BORDEAUX, Sept. 21. "We are hold
ing our own but at what a cost!'
declares a letter to the editor of the
Temps today from a friend at the front.
"For four days we have been fight
ing without stopping and sleeping so
little that this morning I fell asleep
in an automobile and bursting shells
in the road hardly caused me to blink
my sand-laden eyelids." This letter
continues: "All the horizon is In
flames: all the villages within 25 miles
are burning and the night sky seems
glittering with sparks. The noise is
such that one ceases to perceive it.
We live in the '"'midst of death. Today
two big shells fell on the house in
which I was quartered. The structure
burst into flames. Captain A , to
whom I had been speaking, fell for
ward ' dead, and Colonel B , who
was entering the room, also was killed
instantly. Three other officers were
seriously wounded."
ijonaon correspondent iveporxs tap-(
tare of Guns by British, bat Ad
vance on Enemy Likely to Be
Slow, as Ground Is Bad.
LONDON. Sept. 21. The Daily Tele
graph's correspondent behind the
Allies line along the Alsne. in a dis
patch dated Saturday, says:
"The bulk of the fighting on the
line held by General French's command
has been done In inclosed country,
where there are many woods that afford
cover on every hill. The armies are
dug in. Consequently it has been for
the most part an artillery battle.
"The German 'positions evidently
were chosen long ago and the work
of entrenchment was begun before the
Germans turned away from Paris. One
indication to support this view Is the
fact that most of the German heavy
artillery is planted on concrete founda
tions, which would require several days
to set and harden.
Artillery Advantage With Germans.
"So far the Germans have had the
advantage in heavy artillery, but. the
British have captured three of. their
large guns which were mounted In
concrete emplacements and French
guns of big caliber have been hurried
to the front. These probably are in
action now, and the Allies soon will
be superior., in artillery.
The German batteries have-ranged
beautifully. When the range was
picked up thory poured in a fire at a
high rate and the Infantry simply had
to bury itself in the trenches to avoid
annihilation. The casualties from shell
fire have been heavy on both Bides.
Sorties - Cost Many Lives.
"Military men do not think that the
Allies' left will move up the valley
of the Oise until the German front to
the north of Soissons has been driven
back. The Oise Valley is marshy, and
after the copious downpour of the past
week, the river is swollen and the
roadsand fields are heavy.
"Moreover. General Von Kluck has
taken pains that the high ground be
tween Noyon and Cbauny is so strongly
held as to dominate the whole valley.
The Germans have made three day
light attacks in an attempt to break
the Allies' front, where it stretched
east and west along the Alsne. All
three attacks have failed, with losses
so enormous that the ground in front
of the Allies trenches is strewn with
the enemy's dead and wounded.
Bayonets Repel Night Attack.
"The bad morale of having to pass
so many bodies of their dead prompted
the Germans to make their fourth at
tack Friday in the night time. The
night was black and rain was falling
heavily when the Germans sought to
pierce the lines along Soissons with
an attack covering a wide area.- - The
Allies . received timely warning from
the outposts and repulsed the attack
with a withering fire, followed, by a
bayonet charge.
"The rains have made traffic on the
roads impossible and motorcycle de
spatch "riders are working under diffi
culties. The German artillery has
made the work of the signal officers
at British headquarters exceedingly
dangerous. xneir observers keep a
lookout for the heliograph and as
soon as the mirror begins flashing they
train" their guns on the instrument. The
wireless poles too, are constant targets.
"One shell fell in a British field
hospital, wrecking it. As shells con
tinued to fall in the neighborhood the
medical corps, after heroic efforts to
rescue the wounded, were compelled to
abandon the ten most serious cases.
I like that suit

wireless dispatches reporting the move
