Last year at the Illinois-Indiana brigade encampment at Danville his photograph was taken 'with Gen. Stobbart, then commander of the uniform rank, the "Deacon" holding a watermelon under each arm.

ENGLISH BEAR BATTLE BRUNT

Continued From Page One,

English flags were borne at the head of each company. "They were in fine fettle. 'Are we downhearted' would come from a Briton, and immediately back came the fervent reply, 'No, but William the Weed will be downhearted by the time we finish with him-'

Battle Not Ended.

"An overwhelming German force was thrown against our left wing, but the German attack impetuously spent Itself in a vain effort to overcome British resistance. "The fight for supremacy, which continued throughout the day, is by no means ended. The brunt .of the attack waa splendidly borne by our soldiers and never did the unflinching bulldog courage of the British show to better advantage. The heavy and well directed German- artillery fire made little impression on our men, although the casualties entailed by the splendid resistance of the British were necessarily heavy. "The German, artillery fire ceased, only to permit the advance to close quarters of their assaulting infantry, and the massed German infantry for hours hurled themselves against the British wall of steel. "Toward evening, and after a day of most sangulriary fighting, our brave fellows were compelled to give ground slowly. The slight advantage attained by the German hordes was dearly purchased, as the attacking German infantry fell in heaps. "On the right and center the French were more fortunate than ourselves and continued to hold their own- Toward evening, when the full force of the German attack had spent Itself, the French delivered a sharp counter attack, repulsing the enemy all along their front. The German losses are stated to be very heavy. "The battle was continued today by a fresh onslaught on the British constituting the left flank. According to the latest information which has reached me our sorely tried troops are being reinforced and they are confident of being able to check the enemy's advance.

Germans Reckless.

"The Germans are displaying extraordinary recklessness, flinging away thousands of lives in the hope of ultimately gaining their end. No doubt the rapid advance of the Russians in Eastern Prussia has something to do with this and is responsible for the frantic and Insane haste which cnaracterized the German attempt In northern France to smash the thin khaki line which so valiantly bars the road toward Compelgne, Solssons and Paris. "That stories of German atrocities are not one whit exaggerated may be gathered from the story told me by a sergeant who was wounded In the action near Mons Sunday, a week ago. As he lay helpless on the ground and the German Infantry1 swept by he could hear, from the imploring cries of the wounded in his front that they were being ruthlessly put to de^-th by their foes. "Closing his eyes and simulating death the wounded sergeant lay perfectly still. As the German passed him he received a violent blow In the chest from the butt end of the rifle which broke one of his ribs. He bore the pain unflinchingly and never moved a muscle. Another Prussian stabbed a wounded man with his bayonet as he went past "The sergeant's ordeal was a terrlblei one and he expected every moment to be the last. Ultimately the Germans' advance was broken and their infantry came rolling back, shattered and disordered, leaving behind a trail of dead and wounded. 'The wounded sergeant was picked up by British stretcher bearers and conveyed to the base hospital where he is now fast recovering."

"The Inhabitants of Brussels turned out by the thousands to watch this endless procession of Germans as they marched by singing all sorts of songs and national airs. They sang in excellent tune, one company taking up the refrain as soon as another stopped. Like everything else, their singing is perfectly organized. "An aeroplane kept its station ahead of this advancing horde, and it signalled both day and night by dropping various colored stars. What these signals meant I do not know, but all movements of the' troops were regulated by them.
