CALL THE BRITISH WILD MEN

Wounded and Captured Germans Brought Into Paris Declare Bayonet Charge irresistible. Paris. —The majority of the wounded Germans who are being brought into the city are suffering from bayonet wounds. They declare the British have resorted almost exclusively to the steel in the recent fighting. 'Their methods are to shell the German trenches at length, -utilizing all of their artillery. Then the entire British line charges. The majority of the Germans admit they have been unable to withstand the ferocity of this character of attack. They describe the British as wild men who refuse to be checked even with shrapnel. Especially terrifying are reported to be the Irish and Scotch regiments. The rivalry between them is acute and every time a Scotch column distinguishes itself the Irish can be depended on to attempt to eclipse it at the next opportunity.
