-Along: the Hulluch-Haisnes line.
where the fighting has been almost
continuous since the taking of Ios, a
correspondent had un unprecedented
view of the British attack which took
the Hohenzollern redoubt.
From a vantage point in tKe flat
country was seen a stupendous pan
orama of artillery preparation and
glimpses of infantry rushing through
smoke and shells. So rapid was the
fire that an effort to count the number
of audible shots per minute from the
British guns failed. In front, to the
right and left, and far in the rear,
guns flashed and scattered shells over
the landscape. A seconds lull in the
firing by the batteries in the imme
diate neighborhood was filled by those
farther away..
Bursting Shells Outline Trenches.
The line of both the British and
German trenches was discernible in
long clouds of smoke from the burst
ing shells. That of the German artil
lery seemed smaller in volume. No
shells were seen bursting in Loos it
Belf, which appeared peaceful now
back of tho British, positions. For
this tremendous concentration was re
stricted to a narrow theater against
the frontal positions of the opposing
side.
It was a warm and perfect Autumn
day, a bright sun shining through
banks of clouds amid which aeroplanes
hovered. Rolling clouds of gas, ris
ing up from the British trenches like
Pteaui from the locomotive of a pass
ing train above the edge of a cut. as
it was released from the apparatus in
the trenches, was distinguishable from
the explosion of every variety of
shells. The reddish - black British
lyddite and the coal-black German
nine-inch explosives shot up tnrough
the lighted smoke in dense spurts,
tinged at the bottom with dust from
the trenches, while the explosion of a
mine made a vast, mushroom-shaped
column.
Variety of Shells Used.
Large caliber shrapnel bursting in
the air made big vaprous puffs, and
high explosives bursting in the air
caused big black puffs. There also
were asphyxiating gas shells, signal
shells to assist the gunners and shells
which dropped streaming points of fire
like those from a skyrocket. The sun,
shining through the clouds, above and
below, made a mass of changing colors
that was an eye-tiring spectacle. Now,
toward Hulluch it was pink and
toward La Bassee dark green, while
toward the Hohenzollern redoubt and
Foss 8 the German parapet became
visible for an instant, only to be hid
den again. Avenues of trees along the
Toads, some of them cut down by shell
fire, stood stripped like telephone poles
of their limbs and foliage. There
were to be seen the jagged ruins of
villages, whence came a. continuous
ugly roar which submerged the sound
of the machine guns and rifles fired
during the half hour from 1 to 1 :30
before the British infantry sprang
from their trenches.
"Meanwhile, in the rear the miners
Of this mining country proceed with
their voik; farmers were plowing;
women going and coming in the vil
lages or standing in doorways; the
soldier support straining their eyes
toward the battlefield or playing foot
ball, ready to find cover in the dugouts
or cellars instantly should their
neighborhood be shelled.
The jnly way the progress of the
a t tack could be told to an observer
looking over the whole battlefield was
by the lifting walls of fire of the Brit
ish guns from the front to the reserve
German trenches, while the Germans
moved theirs back, presumably to
punish the IJritish reserves coming to
support their advance.
A Hash of flame and It was seen
that Fo?s 8 was on fire. An officer on
horseback in the midst of shells was
seen, for an instant and was gone.
Soldiers were seen springing over a
parapet, presumably running forward
with bombs, and were lost in the man
tle of smoke which gave only a few
glimpses of the presence of human
beings in the Inferno.

the mad "zeitunpsleute" were laughing
about.
In the course of the December figlit
insr the loux. castellated railway sta
tion at Skierniowice, where the red
carpets for royalty have so often been
laid down, was badly shattered, but it
is now well repaired and scrupulously
clean. The Czar's waitinsr room, how
ever, still stands open to the glad sky
and it will require numerous altera
tions in addition to a new roof, before
he will care to use it again.
Kverythinfr to which a coat of white
wash could be applied has been so
treated, and soldiers are setting- out
plants in bits of sreensward at one end
of the train platform. A little period
ical atand where you can buy the lat
est German magazines and editions of
tlerman classic plays bound in paper
covers has been opened and the soldier
whose train stops at ykierniewice for a
few minutes can also buy a good sand
wich for 5 cents and a glass of beer
for cents.
italional Cfaaracterlatlca Shown.
I set down all these details because
they are so entirely characteristic of
the tasks of repairing and decorating
which tho Germans set themselves in
all the railway stations along the vast
stretches of country they have occu
pied on both fronts. They are more
methodical and thorough at this kind
if thing than the Austrian are in the
territory they occupy further to the
outh, and as to the French system
well, matters were more at loose ends
at the railway stations in France a
week after the war had begun than
they are now in some remote little
Kussiaik villages which the German
have held for a few days. The differ
ence seemed to me important because
it spelled out national characteristics
in such large print.
You can always depend upon a Ger
man soldier promptly to set the eat
in part of his quarters to rights. In
the restaurant of the Skierniewice sta
tion there are flowers on the table and
a mannerly Boy Scout to wait on table
and a menu that is amazing when you
consider how far the food has to be
transported. On the walls of the dining-room
are three- pictures of Field
Marshal von Hindenburg and two of
the German Emperor and one of the
Crown Prince and one of John the Bap
tist, and of that selection I leave" the
theologians to make what they can.
Place Strangely Sedate.
Cleanliness, comfort and low voices
give a strangely sedate and well-ordered
tone to this place, where you
cannot walk a dozen Daces without see
ing shattered walls and unroofed rooms
and unglazed windows.
In the switch yards outside stand
work cars, the roofs of which have
long since been sodded over in order
to fool the flyers. The grass is quite
nourishing. Bearded German railway
engineers who also are an arm of the
government service and proud of it
are maneuvering long trains of flatcars
loaded with ammunition wagons up
and down the tracks, and as to these

ever, seems to be unharmed.
Iron Cross Made In Foliage
The exterior of the Czar's chateau is
not pretentious, but the lawns and gar
dens around it are lovely. The stretch
of lawn that drops away into a sunken
garden in front of tho chateau has
lately received a new embellishment,
the permanency of which it will take
a war to decide. It is a gigantic fac
simile of a. German iron cross composed
of foliage plants with leaves that are
almost black, and the design is com
pleted with foliage plants of which the
leaves are almost white.
On the edge of the park rises the
ornate lodge church of white and green
and gold. There is also said to be a
private theater somewhere about the
place, but we did not see that.
Still in charge of the chateau is the
ancient castellan who was there in the
days of its glory. He has the whiskers
an.d the deprecatory air of "faithful
retainer of the family" In an English
melodrama. Guided by him, we wan
dered through the silent, linen-shrouded
rooms of the hunting palace. In one
the Emperor Franz Josef had slept
when he joined the meeting of the
three Emperors 31 years ago. Here
was the Czar's bedroom. There was
the Empress. Here was her bathroom.
Upon my word, it seemed fairly inde
cent, this invading of the privacies of
a deserted house.
Story of Tragedy Retold.
Here the Crown Prince Leopold of
Bavaria had slept in recent days. Here
was a door at the bottom of a stairway
that let down and disclosed not only
the tiny closet into which it opened,
but also the fact that the inner side
of the door was upholstered and formed
the bed on which the sentries of the
Czar's bodyguard slept between watches.
Just beyond that cubbyhole is the
little withdrawlng-room in which the
imperial family used to drink coffee
after dinner. The castellan did not tell
us the grisly story about the room, but
a man of another nationality did. I
don't know whether to believe him or
not, but his story was that 10 years
ago a certain Grand Duchess was sip
ping coffee in that room when phe sud
denly fell back dead. The coffee had
contained a poison Intended for the
Czar.
After investigating the Empress bod
room, which was equal to any you
would find in an old-fashioned Ameri
can hotel that has come upon second
rate days, we had no shame left, and
so we all laboriously took a peep
through a keyhole at the private chaisl
of the palace. This apartment the Ger
mans keep locked. All we could see
was a blaze of fresco and gold. It
seemed to be the most splendid part
of the establishment.
Captors Respect Treasures.
All the rest of it was very mahogan
ish, very satiny, very chintzy, very
chandeliery and reasonably tasteless
though one got the idea that it would
light up gorgeously at night.
The sole genuinely artistic objects I
saw were some exquisite little plates
or trays enameled with miniatures of
the most delicate design imaginable.
For them alone I envied the Czar, and
I have seldom been nearer to tempta
tion than when I was left alone for
several minutes in. an apartment where
the delightful little masterpieces were
strewn all about. It raised my esti
mate of human nature in general and
of German human nature in particular
to realize that ever since this palace
was occupied in December by Russia's
invaders those 'things had been lying
there and had been respected.
I also noted the fact that in one
deserted room after another fly paper
had been hung from the chandeliers
and that there Is a big "wipe-your-
feet" mat in front of the main entrance.
The Czarina may rest assured that her
palace at Skierniewice is being well
looked after in her absence.

(Copyright, 1915, by tha Chicago Tribune.
Published by arrangement- )
PARIS, Sep. 21. Peace had . her
shrines in Paris, I suppose. They were
gay and frivolous, full of life and light
and laughter. They were, perhaps, the
opera, the racetrack at Auteuil, the
Foliea Bergeres. Not shrines, you say
but they were gathering places of
great crowds and reflected the Ideas
of the people.
But now Is war; and war has her
shrine.
Out of the peaceful, artistic nation
have come warriors; out of a nation of
skeptics has come faith.
The two unexpected, undivided traits
have become part of every Frenchman
and It is at the tomb of Napoleon that
he finds the incarnation of these newly
born emotions.
That lofty, majestic dome, with Its
magnificent peace. in the encircled
midst of which lies the greatest man
of the world in his simple grandeur,
is the shrine of the French people.
Nation's Hopes Embodied
In his history, in his courage, am
bition, determination, they see the em
bodiment of their hopes today. I some
times wonder if they think upon his
end and if it stirs for a vague, uncom
fortable second their supreme faith in
the success of their cause.
I was there on Sunday. The courts
on both sides of the Invalides were
full. A slow-moving throng pressed
up the steps. There were wounded and
crippled, women and little children,
shamed men, pale from bureau work,
whose very presence there announced
some physical defect; strangers paying
their tribute, Moroccans, Senegalese,
listening for the first time to tne glo
rious past of France.
The pale blue light filtered in
through the Invisible windows of the
high dome and enveloped in an at
mosphere of cool aloofness the sarco
phagus, the statues of victory, the torn
and faded flags. And over the broad
balustrade 10.000 eyes gazed down
upon the simple, inornate tomb.
Is thare any place like it in the
world? Not to me. That massive block
of red porphyry on its gray green base,
those wreaths of triumph, those statues
of victory, those battle-torn flags dim
ly colored, and within the dust of the
great little man.
"Joffre of Long; Aero.9
By my side were some Senegalese to
whom a Frenchman was explaining in
simple language the grandeur of Na
poleon, and I liked his patriotism in
omitting Beresina and St. Helena and
his final remark. "II etait le Joffre de
jadis" (the Joffre of long ago). A
reflective Moroccan nodded eompre
hendingly and showed his white teeth
in an earnest 'Y est un brave poilu,"
and I wondered how the dead Napoleon
would have liked the compliment.
The crowd leaving the tomb turned
into the court of the Invalides and
fingered the captured cannons, touched
the aeroplanes with the broken wings
covered with painted iron crosses.
Fathers home on permission explained
to their boys how such and such a gun
worked, recounted tales of their own
experience, little groups listening
around them with interest. The chil
dren's eyes, got bigger and bigger and
they stood up proud and straight with
a light in their eyes which said, "My
papa is the greatest hero of the
world."
Crowds Walt Patiently.
Patient crowds stood a hundred long
in the two galleries on either side of
the court, waiting to be admitted 10 at
a time to a view of all the instru
ments of this war. There are shells
and bombs and hand grenades of every
belief and persuasion, daggers, lances,
guns, mitraileuses, cannon, models of
aeroplanes, armored cars, steel arrows,
asphyxiating masks everything that
has to do with the war of today.
It is a perfect education in things
military to pay a visit here. There are
lessons In heroism and bravery, flags
snatched from the enemy at the price
of much life, .bloody torn banners,
poor broken drums which have beat
the way to victory.
When you see the thousands, the
tens of thousands who pass through
these courts, who stand humbly hope
ful with bared beads by the tomb of
the great man, who study the war ma
chines, who listen to the tales of . the
returned poilus, who finger the guns
with thoughts of some distant trench
or field of battle you know that Mars
has found his shrine in the midst of
the most peace-loving nation on earth.

Proposal to Withdraw.
IOXDON, Oct. 17. An interesting
contribution to the controversy regard
ing the abandonment of the Gallipoli
expedition is made by the correspond
ent. Ashmead Bartlett. who has Just
returned from the Dardanelles. In an
interview in the Sunday Times, he
says :
"One of the chief difficulties in the
fighting there has been that neither
the Colonials nor the British bear such
a fanatical hatred against the Turks
as they do against the Germans, and
the curious thing is that these feelings
are reciprocated. But the Turk is a
true patriot and will not surrender the
last strip of Europe left to him. espe
cially Constantinople, without a grim
struggle.
"The fighting has been of the most
desperate character and the results are
highly unfavorable' to us. We have
committed every conceivable blunder
in our methods of attempting to carry
out the expedition.
"I hear a great deal about our loss
of prestige in the Near East if we fail
to carry the enterprise to a successful
conclusion. Personally I take the op
posite view. Even if our expedition
stops today, our prestige will not suf
fer because of the splendid courage and
endurance of our soldiers. The time
has come for us seriously to recon
sider our position."

LOYALTY IS URGED
British-Americans Told Duty

AMBASSADOR GIVES ADVICE
Best Service to Country of Origin,
Says Spring-Rice, Will Be Ren
dered by Observance of-TIicir'
Oath of Allegiance.
CHICAGO. Oct. 17. (Special.) Great
Britain's policy with reference to en
listments in the United Stales for serv
ice In the European war is revealed in
instructions received by the British
Consul-General' in Chicago from Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice, the British Ambas
sador. The Ambassador says specifically
that naturalized Britons have the same
status as those Americans -who are
native born and that the best service
they can render to the country of their
origin Is to observe faithfully their
oath of allegiance, lie says:
"With regard to former British sub
jects who have become citizens of the
United States, their status under the
accepted principles of international law
does not ii any respect differ from
that of native-born American citizens.
I notice with - satisfaction that it has
been pointed out by certain prominent
American citizens of British birth that
the best service which they can render
to the country of their origin is to
prove by their actions and conduct that
they are loyal and law-abiding Amer
ican citizens.
Neutrality Moat Be Observed.
With regard to British subjects resi
dent in this country who have not be
come naturalized, 1 have to remind you
that according to British -and American
law they are regarded as in all respects
subject to the law of the country in
which they reside and to which they
owe a temporary allegiance. You
should, if you think it necessary
and expedient, call the attention of
British subjects io this fact and espe
cially to their duty to observe the neu
trality laws of the United States.
"Since the war began I, have acted in
Accordance with the opinion expressed
by the Supreme Court of the United
States that it is the duty of a citizen
when war breaks out and he is abroad
to return to his country, in order to
render her or his service: and I have
been guided by the decision of the
United States courts that it is not an
offensa against the neutrality laws of
the United States for residents in this
country to leave it with intent to enlist
in foreign military service, provided
there is no engagement, hiring, con
tract or solicitation.
Retnrn Not to Be Assisted.
"I have claimed for trained men.
British subjects' resident here and who.1
may desire to return to Kngiand for
military duty, although not obliged to
return by local statute, the same rights
and privileges as are enjoyed in this
respect by the subjects of nations
which have compulsory , military
service.
"A question, however, has arisen as
to the interpretation of the law and
Is at present subjudice. I have, there
fore, while reserving all rights, issued
instructions that until the courts of
the United States have decided the
question, British Consuls in this coun
try must not assist British subjects to
return for military duty."
