UV stretched out at length in some coarse ras.s which covered the ground and waited. 'oon we saw something like . purple blur moving toward us. It whs indefinite and shapely because the German uniform is of such a color that it is difficult to see. " 'Open with the artillery, came the order. "Within a few minutes the ms began to roar and we could see cloud? of dirt arising where the .shell? were bursting around the Herman ranks, our platoon commander looked through his glasses. " Fine work. h shouted, "they've got the exact rank'f.' "Trie artillery lire kept increasing in volume as battery after battery was brought up and joined the action. Our ears were deafened by the thunder and we could hear hardly anything In th brief lull?. Germans Return Tire. "The German artillery was wheeled into position and opened apainst i;s. Tr was a sound to make one sick to htar the shrapnel screaming overhead or bursting with a shower of bullets in every direction. Some nf the shells did not explode but tor hos in the ground. We were ordered t-' fix bayonets and did so while we vere lying in the grass. "Pretty soon we saw several aeroplanes arising- above the battle smoke, i-'ome of our longest range mm? were turned on them to drive them back for they were German aeria! scouts directing the fire of the Gerrm n Runners. "A heavy force of German artillery bad deployed and taken our artillery

in the rear but we could not go to it? support because German infantry jn clopo formation was moving against our front. Leei German Hank;. "We poured in such a tire from rif'.e and machine puns that no heman Tanks could stand before it. The Germans had to ascend a slope to pet to o and we levelled their ranks as they advanced. It was like snow melting in warm sunshine. There must have been 100 machine giir.s sending millions of bullets against the German ranks. All along the line the spurt of tire was continuous. The noise was unearthly. "Another German line came on and we treated it in the same way. Platoon after platoon went down. The ground was covered w it It dead. The advancing German? stumbled and fell as they tried to make their way forward. Some of the wounded, aroused 1o super-human passions, by the excitement of battle, stoppered forward with the glare of death already in their eye, trying to help their companions In tbe charge. Parts of human bodies were Mown about the fidd by thf explosion of shells. "Those Prussians f night like devils. "But they could not l'.ve under the attack we pave them. Their line? prew thinner and thinner. Then we ?.nse mid with fixed bayonets charged. They fled leavinp nearly their whole repiment on the field. dead or wounded."

READY TO MOVE CAPITAL IF PARIS

IS BESIEGED AGAIN (fONTjNrrci) FROM PAGI OSK) order at the stations was prevented. The long lines marched steadily throtiph the buildinps ami to the trains without tbe jam that probably would bo witnessed under similar circumstances in America. The soldiers tolerated no delay. No baggage was allowed on any of the trains that left for Bordeaux. Scores left the lines when they learned that no luggage would be permitted but those who had anticipated such a condition had packed their most valuable belongings into small bundles that they could carry without trouble. Arrangements have been made by Adrien Mlthouanl, president of the municipal council, to have the refugees cared for in the cities to the south of Paris. He said today that the departure of the city's inhabitants jt their own volition had been one of the most encouraPinp signs of war. "They are makinp sacrifices." he fraud. ,rbut It is only by sacrifices that we shall b victorious. If the city is besieged the less people we have bere the better we shall be off." 1'xaetly 4 4 years after the battle of Sedan tbe German army is pressinp relentlesly upon Pari" today from the north. Th war office issued an official statement today admlttinp that the left wins: nf the allies had been compelled to cie pround. but asserting that the French had pained new advantages in the Borraine repion. A battle has ton in progress for 24 hours alone: the center, but thus far neither side ha pained the advantage, the war office says. The official statement follows: "On our left th" Germans hav pained pround.. Tn the center the fortunes of battle have not been derided. There hns been no chance in the situation there. "In Iyorralne we have pruned newad van tapes. Fresh troops reached th French front today. Most of these were sent to the center, which is stubbornly resisting the attempt of the Germans under Crown Irlnee Frederick Willlnm to smash through and join forces with the German ripht winp.

That this ripht wing; has made tremendous strides is evidenced by the fact that German troops have been reported in the vicinity of Boauvais. which is only D4 miles by rail from the capital and CS miles in an airline. Arrest Gorman Spfos. Three German spies arrested within the French lines south of Amiens were mobbed when they were brought to Paris today. The squad of soldiers guarding them had great difficulty in driving back the frenzied crowd of men and women that shouted "death to the spies," and tried to wrest the prisoners from their captors at the Gare du Xord. After a struggle of half an hour the spies were finally taken in safety to prison and the mob dispersed. Tiie German prisoners wore captured last nipht at P.oauvals by cavalry after they had made their way through the French lines in disguise. One wore the uniform of a Belgian officer. probably stripped from a corpse after the fighting in Belgium. The others wore civilian garb. The death of Pierre Goup 7. deputy from the department of the Aisne. was announced today. lie was killed in battle. He is the first member of the French parliament to lose his life in the war.

IDOL OF PEOPLE

ANTWERP. ept. 1. ThGcrmm soldiers speak with deep emotion of the care they have received from the Belpian staffs at the Brussels hospitals and so pitiful have been the sights in the streets whm the wounded have been comir.p in that it has been a common thinp to see many of the conquerred weeping for their conquero rs. The hero of Brussels is Mayor Max who refuses to shake hands with anv German, but still rules Prussels civil affairs with mapnificent abilitv and sangfroid. The place of the police all of whom have been drafted into the Belgian army was taken first by tierman troops. These have now been withdrawn and the entire constabulary duty is being done by tradesmen, clerks and boys. As for the German troops, their conduct with a few exceptions, has been reasonable and decent, the only cause for complaint being their overbearing manner. Two wounded lieutenants were brought into the Palace hotel. One was severely injured in the rit;ht hand, but despite the evident pain he marched up to the elevator with his shoulders back and his head up. He

fainted, however, when he sat down
