IN CONSTANT DANGER

Correspondent Through Per

iscope Sees Germans With Bombs Ready to Stop Attack.

LONDON, Auk. 6. A British correspondent at the front with the expeditionary force In Flanders, sends the following graphic descriptions of life

in the trenches:

"This war, particularly this trench

warfare 'the war of positions,' as the Germans more correctly call it is so

utterly unprecedented that one often

searches the mind in vain for some

suitable parallel which will make the people realize what it means to have to live for days, sometimes for weeks, on end In a narrow ditch seeking to compass the violent death of persons In another ditch within hailing distance with whom not a year ago one

might have been lunching or dining. ' "I was In some trenches the other day. We were having tea round a table in a dug-out. The trench ran through a cornfield, as I remember, and as we drank out tea we had a Ine view of some ruined buildings against the sky. The German trenches were very close and if you had a fancy to finish life all you bad to do was to take two steps from the tea table and poke your head for an instant above the sandbags of the parapet. Carry Away . Body. "On the German side an officer had tried to do this that morning. Five minutes afterwards three men with a stretcher had taken the body away. Somebody remarked on the strangeness of our position. 'Here we are,' he said, 'in a ditch In a cornfield. Rather a good spot for a picnic it would have been, wouldn't It, with the old farm back there to furnish hot water for tea and this nice view in front of us? I dare say people used to come here on summer evenings like this a year ago. Yet here we are, a lot of men who probably never heard of Flanders in their lives before this war, living in an adjectival cornfield, with only one idea in life, and that to kill as many as possible of another bunch of fellows living in another corner of the same old cornfield. Funny war, ain't it? Who'll come and snipe?' "He and another man, having finished their tea, went off down the trench where the bullets were whlnneying and popping and snicking great wads out of the sandbags of the parados with a resounding smack that fairly deafens you if your head happens to be alongside. I could see them for a bit creeping daubled up along a stretch of low trench marked down as a bad corner. Later I caught sight of them in a ruined barn. They were kneeling motionless with their rifles at an opening. They were waiting. I knew whom they were waiting for, a gentle German whom they had named Peter Weber, a sniper, whose perch was In a tree. They had waited for him for three days. They didn't get Peter Weber that day. Know Their Enemies. "Men who live like this, almost en tete-a-tete with the Germans, positively get to know their enemies by sight. They give the snipers names and one hears of displays of frightfulness by Karl and Fritz and Hermann's 'evening hate.' One of our snipers, a private, who had found himself an admirable spot to operate from, was quite an authority on the inmates of the trenches only a biscuit throw away. It was he, incidentally, who "bagged" the German officer that morning. He regaled his mates with fabulous tales of old Germans with their long white bears who roamed about their trenches. An excellent fellow, this sniper, a dead shot, with an open face and fearless eye. 'You can't stop him,' his captain said to me. 'Every minute of the day he can spare he is at it. He's the pride of the company.' "The other day I was in a position which is less than 30 yards from the German trenches, where the few men holding the place squat doubled up in

a narrow trench with a stack of

bombs at hand to repel an attack. The trench runs through some ruined buildings, where the dead of many months are lying, some burled in, the soil through which our trenches run, others entombed beneath piles of loose

bricks. I sat down on the ground beside the Irishmen who were in that

foul place and chatted with them. In

pt piece of mirror stuck up on the parados I could see the German trench at a distance considerably less than

the width of the Strand at its narrowest point. 'There's an Alleman

that comes out o' that trlnch one and

agin,' they said to me in hoarse whispers. 'Sure, and we often see him

pattering about, a gran' big fellow with great whiskers on him. 'Tis a pity not to shoot him. We could get him every time.' I touched the mirror

to move it. The next Instant two bul lets struck the sandbags on the par

ados on either side of the glass. The men laughed. 'They can't hit you the

way you have your head now, sorr, they said, 'but don't be raisin' your self.' "

Warsaw's History, Record Of Battles

On every field where the German armies are now fighting in the environs of Warsaw great battles have gone before ; for Warsaw has always been the chief stronghold. for the defense of Poland, the industrial, commercial and financial center, as well as the physical center, and the center toward which all Polish lines of communication take their way. The greatest of European counquerors have passed that way and dealt with Warsaw as one of the half dozen most important towns on the continent. As a military problem Warsaw is conscientiously studied by the leading soldiers of Europe and there are few fields of which the possibilities have been better canvassed. The geography of the country immediately surrounding this great city, the scene of a supreme test of strength between Teuton and Slav, is described in a bulletin just issued by the National Geographic society, which reads: Girdled by a . formidable plan of fortiications and by fortified towns, which build a circular line around the metropolis, Warsaw is the best-defended city in eastern Europe. Its immediate line of forts is thrown before it at a radius of about sixteen miles from the heart of the city. In the immediate line of fortified towns beyond the Warsaw forts, varying from twenty-five to forty miles in distance from the city, are Garwolin in the southeast, Grojec in the south, Skiernlewice in the southwest, Blonie in the west. Novo Georgievsk in the northwest, Pultusk and Segrje in the north, and Praga, across the Vistula

Ireland, England and Scotland in the munition workers' pageant in London. Recently more than 50,000 women marched through the streets f London demanding that they be allowed to take the places oi the men in the munition factories in order to allow the men to go to the front. In order to stir up patriotism many of the women were garbed in costumes representing the British countries and their allies. All carried flags of the various allies which were waved frantically at every opportunity. The picture shows the young ladies who represented Ireland, England and Scotland in the huge procession.

WARNING OF ENEMY SURPRISES GERMAN DOING SCOUT DUTY

BERLIN, Aug. 6. Lieutenant -J. Jung, an officer of one of the German reserve regiments at the front in northern France, writes to the "Koelnische Wolkszeitung:" "We were in a trench before Arras, with only a strip of ground about 20 yards wide separating us from the nearest position of the enemy. Cautiously I raised my head over the embankment to watch the French trench. To my utter astonishment I suddenly heard a Frenchman crying: "Lieutenant Jung, be careful!" "I heeded the warning and jumped back into the ditch. After a little while I tried to advance again, but a second warning struck my ears. Now I recognized my friend on the other side. He was a young French business man who for some time had worked in the office of my father's factory to study German methods. When the war broke out he hastened home to fight for his country. His friendly warning has undoubtedly saved my life. Under such strange circumstances men, who formerly were friends meet in this cruel world-war."

Just One Application and the. Hairs Vanish !

(Modes of Today.) A harmless, yet very effective, treatment Is here given for the quick removal of hair growths: Mix enough powdered delatone and water to cover the undesirable hairs, apply paste and after 2 or 3 minutes remove, wash the skin and the hairs have vanished. One application usually is sufficient, but to be certain of results, buy the delatone in an original package. Adv.

to the east The most powerful of these fortresses is Novo Georgievsk. The country around Warsaw is a plain, low and flat, immensely cultiplain, low and flat, intensely cultivated and dotted with many industrial villages. This plain stretches away to the Prussian frontier. To the south there are hill clusters, while in the north, throughout the region adjoining the confluence of the Narew and the Bug with the Vistula, there are considerable stretches of tangled and treacherous marsh land. During the spring and autumn rains this region frequently suffers from disastrous floods. The floods now and then prove to be terribly destructive. Novo Georgiecsk fortress lies upon the confluence of the Bug and the Vistula, and the swampy stretches near it are part of its scheme of defense. The Vistula cleaves through this district, through fortresses before Warsaw, through the heart of the metropolis, and through fortresses toward the German frontier in a broad expanse of between a quarter and a third of a mile in width. Parts of the river's banks are high, and Warsaw stands over the Vistula on a steep terrace, lying between 100 and 140 feet above the river.

OFFER GOOD PRICES FOR OLD MACHINES

, Fancy prices are being offered for machinery of every description and not a week passes but that at least a half dozen agents visit the city to make an inspection ot the shops with the purpose in view of purchasing second-hand machinery, according to a statement of a manufacturer today. These agents . are presumed to be either directly or indirectly, agents of the foreign governments who are busy placing contracts for war supplies. The first part of the week an inquiry was received through the Commercial club for information concerning factories in the city that do lathe work, forging and machine work. It is understood that contracts to manufacture war supplies have been offered some of the local factories, but that they have been turned down. Several local factories, however, are manufacturing material indirectly used for the purpose of making war supplies. One of the local foundries is making parts of machinery which are contracted for by a company making shrapnel.
