KAISER'S SOLDIERS PROCEED UIIMOVEO AGAmSTJEIJEMIES Artillery Fire of French Fails to Deter Teutons Charging Against Fire of Batteries. BY LEASED WIRE. PARIS, Aug. 26. An idea of the losses of the Germans in the great fettle In southwestern Belgium and of the bravery of tho Kaiser's soldiers is given in the story of a returned traveler who witnessed part of the fighting along the Sambre river, southwest f Charlerol. "I was near Ferux in a region covered with dense woods while ' the lighting was taking place." said the arrator today. "I could hear the sound of cannon away to the east and knew that a big battle was raging. From my place in the forest I suddenly saw the advance guard of a German army approaching along a roadway which skirted the trees. "There seemed to be an endless procession of soldiers, all dressed in a uniform of gray. Rank after rank passed by and I thought that the end would never come. Lines Swing Forward. "There was no hewttation. The men awung forward with quick steps and I saw officers galloping along the lines urging them forward. "Suddenly there was a fresh sound of battle, this time in front of me, and I knew that the French artillery had opened upon the advance guard of the Germans. I moved cautiously forward to a point where I could get a view of the battlf scene. It was a vkv which seared itself into mymemory. "The French guns were hurling a hurricane of steel and flame into the German ranks, but the soldiers pushed forward with their battle shouts on their Hps. Straight into that pit of destruction rushed the advancing troops. Men fell on every hand. It seemed that whole platoons melted away. "Over the bodies of the dead and wounded pushed the rear ranks of the invading army, rushing with fixed bayonets upon the smoking muzzles of the French artillery. It was a superb picture of gallantry."

OBITUARY. In the death of Mrs. William L. Boyd on June 3, this city lost a representative of ono of its oidest families and an old school type regretablv becoming scarcer in each generation. Of superior intellectuality, Mrs. Bcyd retained to the very last an interest in literature and art as well as the world's affairs, the clearness of her mentality remaining unimpaired to the day of her death. The mother of a large family, Mrs. Boyd was never too involved in her domestic activities to take an interest in the social, political and artistic life of the community and was always ready to discuss with visitors and callers that of public significance in local and national affairs. In the course of many years' residence in the Boyd homestead on National avenue, Mrs. Boyd trained a number of young boys in the science of gardening, having extensive grounds filled with beautiful trees and shrubbery and a wonderful flower garden. To keep this in order it was her custom to employ several boys during the vacation periods and she took pleasure in imparting to them many botanical facts and instruction in floriculture. On the grounds of no other residence in Richmond, possibly outside the dismantled Reeveston, could there be found such a variety of trees and oldfashioned garden flowers. The most cordial hospitality was practiced in the household over which she presided, the charming custom of serving refreshments to casual guests being followed both winter and summer, and her conversation was vivacious, witty and erudite. Mrs. Boyd was an interesting figure In the social life of the city, representing the very highest type of old-fashioned cultured hospitality which found a vent in the broadest human sympathies and a catholic appreciation of society as a whole. She was born in Westchester, Pa., January 31, 1832, her parents being Benjamin L. and Sarah Martin, and was married to William L. Boyd at Westcheter November 6, 1856. Mr. Boyd survives, with five children. Mrs. Sarah Brown and Mrs. Emma Brown of California, Joseph Boyd of Carthage, Mo., Miss Bessie and Miss Martha Boyd of this city. , A daughter, Miss Louis Boyd, long a member of the public school faculty, died a few years ago.

Mme. Marcella Sembrlch has gone to Switzerland, where she will visit Paderewski at Morges, near Lausanne, and will do some Alpine climbing. She puts on short skirts and carries her alpen-stock with as much agility as though climbing mountains instead of high notes were her profession.

A dispatch from Juvissy tells how German bullets do not always stop advancing soldiers. A French corporal says: "I was at Muelhausen in the first action. There were two battalions, and we went for the enemy like mad. In spite of our officers we began a bayonet charge when sixty-three yards distant. It was then that the German machine guns poured in a hail of bullets. I got one In the arm. It did not stop me. A second and third flicked my ear, and a fourth went through my hand, but I still kept on. "Finally I fell, and when I came to my senses a surgeon was saying "what an extraordinary fellow this is; he has received eleven bullets and has kept only one of them!" ERECT MONUMENT BY LEASED WIRE.l NEW PARIS, O., Aug. 26 The local G. A. R. is erecting a cement soldiers' monument in Springlawn cemetery on the sitj of the old mound.

We all know some home remedy for cur minor troubles, and by the use of these remedies many a doctor's bill is saved and doubtless many a life. How few know what to do when their eyes become tired and ache, or teel dry and inflamed from abuse and overuse? In the morning your eyes feel rough or sticky, or they trouble you when you read. What do you do? Most of us rush off and get glasses (perhaps at some cheap store where no skill is used in fitting our eyes), which we very often do not need at all. Thousands are wearing misfit or unnecessary glasses which they might better discard and other thousands can, with a little care, probably so strengthen their eyes that glasses might never be necessary. Here is a free receipt that may be relied upon to give comfort and to help the eyes of some people; it is harmless and has the enthusiastic endorsement of thousands who have used it: 5 grains Optona (1 tablet). 2 Ounces Water. I'ee as an eye wash night and morning, or oftener if possible. It makes most eyes feel fine, quickly allays irritation, brightens the eyes and sharpens the vision. Many who have used it no longer feel the need of glasses; many others have ceased to fear that they will soon be obliged to wear them. Get the Optona tablets from A. G. Luken & Co. or from your nearest druggist and prepare the solution at your own home. (AdvertlBcmar.tl NEW YORK Dental Parlors 904 12 Main Street (Over Nolte's Carpet Store.)

HOW GERMANS OUTWITTED FRENCH II ALSACE BATTLES
PARIS, Aug. 26. Wounded French soldiers who were removed from the battlefields in Upper Alsace and Lorraine to the big military hospital at Borges, tell stories of the preparedness and minute calculations of the Germans. A telegram from Bourges today Eays: "The Germans were prepared for every eventuality. When the French troops entered villages the officials generally pretended to welcome them as saviors. French flags were produced and placed in position on trees and buildings, but the French officers ultimately found that this was a ruse to reveal the location of the French forces. "In one village the burgomaster gave over his official quarters for the installation of a French military field telephone. Later he found that the line had been tapped, so that the Germans could secure the information which went over the wires. "At another place the schoolmaster climbed to the belfry of the village church, while German artillery was bombarding the French invaders, and corrected the errors in the range of the Teutonic gunners by moving the hands of the clock.

story of a grim jest played by a military band. After storming the trenches at the point of the bayonet, French
tsoldiers, weary from their gory work, were resting upon their arms. Suddenly the opening bars of Chopin's Funeral March came to their cars from the slopes of a distant hill. Immediately afterward the sound of music was drowned out by a burst of artillery as the German cannon from a masked battery began bombarding the French lines." REV.
