of Htorhliolm puhliKlie.s n letter from
it (leiiniui officer In u friend in Swe
den jfKinir the lollowiup imprcMioii
of mi eiiKUgement near (Million dur
ing the battle M Hie .Miirne.
"In the neighborhood of Chajout I
took part in the tiin-t terrible battle
that I have ever seen: I wan, how
ever, at JiK'cc, at Nniiiur and at
l,oiirw-y . . , Since ft was im
possible for our artillery to xilence
tliu l'Ycneli butteries, wo decided to
rluirp', thinking the Fieueli and Kn
lihh would fly before the Herman
bayonet; the cxcrience proved that
our ideas on that subject were entire
ly erroneous.
Ten Hie SlatiKliter
"Two of our refjimciilH were order
ed to take the allies' position by
storm. The French, however, were
ready to iceeive us and there ensued
such u butchery as never was m-cii in
this or any other war. A detachment
of French concealed amoni; (lie trees
threw themselves on us. Thev wcr
eontly turcos and .mimes, strong
devils against whom it is impossible
lo iij,'ht. A zouave, with a gun, bay
onet fixedf is the most infernal tliihe,
that can he described.!
"Savncu cries of pain and of aii(;er
resounded through the wood. A yreat
miiuv men fell there mid saturated
the ground w-ith blood. Soon the
French artillery came into action and
its projectiles completed the work of
the bayonet. Our men bent u retreat
ut full speed across the wood, now in
tlmucs. Those who had escaped the
bayonet fell under the rain of bullets
and lay huniin' in the thickets. Only
sixty of my regiment returned. Of
the other, only 11 came hack, and of
the 71 sunivorx, all were nioro or
le-s jirievtoitsly wounded.
"I follow id the campaign in -Manchuria,
but I think in the eour.se of
the first five days of the battle of
the, Manic more victims fell than were
counted in the battle of Mukden npd
of Lino-Vatic." .
.Munlcr-otis Fighting
Another evidence of the murderous
diameter of the fighting in this bat
tle is furnished by a French soldier's
letter pnlili-hcd by the Dcpecho de
Toulouse. "W have been lighting
for three week, lo the east of Verdun
in the region of the Tntinum, Geui

wrote. "We advance, hut very slow
