7 Death's IleakHussers, avoiding the
village ,came 41,cross the vineyards
and fields xvith the intention of sur -
•prising the French artillery on the
• niaroh,.
It was tt, critical moment. 'The
French dragoons, were Wm miles
• ahead •and the infantry two miles
behind the ganners, who were in
danger of being sabred' across their
• guns, The Hussars wore onlyth'ree-
qurers of a mile, }away, galloping

were unlimbered ,and Ined up acrng
the road. The e,ifenly then was only
500 yards away, and the -command
Could be heard to prepar•e te charge
the guns..
In the charge the 'Prussian caval-
ry gathered speed with every yard.
When they were 200 yards away
the Frencdi gunners aimed, and
there was, a dash of fire. Through
the blue smoke the arlilleryme,n
• could see the erfeiny's horses' rear-
ing and officers trying vainly to
rally the broken lines.

But the artillerymen clid not wait
to gaze long on this scene of car-
nage. They 1imbere<1 u,p the gems
and rattled off to aid the dragoons,
who were hard pressed and falling
back along the highway. The pins
were a welcome relief. This time
the struggle was onare even. The
German quielc.firers retnrned .:Uhc
fire with interest, but the Frenth
infantry arrived and deployed
among the vines, a bugle rang oast,
and their bayonets EasttecLin the

Without eavalry to aid it the Pry-
sian Guard was obliged to fall hack.
A battalion of Zouaves glided 'be-
hind and oceipied the Valley of the
Suippes, threatening to -place the
Guards .betwee,n two fires. A regi -
Ment of Grenadier's sacrificed itself
to cover the retreat of the German
columns on Rheims. Five times the
Grenadiers hurled themselves
against the French. They were re-
pulsed ,every time, and ,alter the
fifth charge only one section was
left, a handful ef men .surrounding
the flag. •
Then first one, then two, -and
then ten of the Grenadiers threw
down their arms. A hundred men,
mostly wounded, were all that were
lett of a splendid regiment. But
their sacrifice had not been useless,
for it efiabled the tolumn to get
safely under the guns of the forts

PROUD OF THEIR CRUELTIES
Copy of German Official Book on the War Seized
by British Authorities
-A despatch from London says,:
German tales of tragic epis.odes of
the war were issued by the Official
Pres Bureau on Weclneadity night.
Tha stories were taken from a book
called "Kriegs Chronik," which
was seized from aliens entering
English pods. . The book consists,
according to the bureau, "partly of
a highly untrustworthy chronicle of
the war and partly of solders' let-
ters from the front.
''As, showing the methods of
thought of the enemy theseltist have
considerable value;' continue.s the
bureau. "It is not the truth or
falsity • 'ef the tales that matters,
but the applause and GeV -congratu-
lation of the writers on deeds of
gross treachery. and cruelty claimed
to have bean done by theanselves or
eomraxles."
The narrative of an artillery offi-
cer, on the extermination of a 13el-
gian village, as given out by the bu-
reau, follows: -
"The cou,ntrysidc aws full t -if our
troops: Nevertheless the stupid
peasants must need shoot at our
men, as they marched by, from
lurking places, Day before yester-
day morning the Prussian troops
,eurrounded a. village, put the wo-
men, children and old people aside
and shot all the nien. The village
was then burned to the ground." -
The story of the shooting of a Boy
Scout is given as follows:
"A traitor has just been shot. He
was a, little French lad belonging to
one of the gymnastic societies Which
wear the tri -colored ribbons, a poor
young &Row, who, in his infatua-
tion, wanted to be a hero.,
"As the German column was pass-
ing ,,along a wooded defile' he was
caught and asked whether the
French were about. He refused to
give any information. Fifty yards
further there was fire fromthe co-
ver of the wood. The prisoner was
asked in French if he had known
that the enemy was in the forest,
and he did net deny it.
"Be: went with a firm step to a,
telegraph pole and stood agaiost it
with a green Vineyard at his back
and received the volley of a firing
party with a proud smile on his
fece. Infatuated wretch It, was a
pity to see small a.wasted •courage.''

A despatch from London says :
The advance guard of the great
Russian army, marching through
Galicia on its way to Breslau and
Berlin, has reached Cracow, and
the .battle upon whose result de-
pends the fate of German Silesia
has begun. The combined German
and Austrian force defending Cra-
cow, the latter consisting of the
remnant of the 'Austrian army. that
was able to retreat from Lemberg,
has taken the offensive and is en-
deavoring to block the passage of
the Russians. The Austro-Gerroan
position, is one of great strength,
and it is exPeoted that the battle
will be long and sanguinary. The
Russians hope, however, to be able
to screen .Cracow with part of their
army, so that while the engage-
ment is proceeding the rest of • -the
Czar'S myriads may advance over

Gertutuas Continue Their Efforts to
Break Through Allies'
Lines.
A despatch from the battlefield,
via Paris, says: The scene of the
most violent attacks changes day
by day. The Germans, finding it
impossible to penetrate the ,allied
lines in the vicinity of Itheints and
Soissons, quickly transported many
of their divisions farther north-west
and hurled them 'against Boye.
Again they failed, although they
have not ceased their 'effOrts to bat-
ter down the barrier of allies.
The, allies' turning movement con-
tinues and their western -wing ex-
tends toward Arras. Reports' from
the other end of •the line on the
frontier show 'the progress of the
aliiet to be slow, but sure. Hun-
dreds of German prisoners fell into
the hands of the allies at every
point, ,and it was remarked that
among them the majority were ,Ba-
varians, who seem to have ,been
prominent in the front of the Ggr-
man attack.
The lines of the trenches make
the battlg front appear like deeply
scarred fields: The allies, who
quickly learned the lesson in bur-
rowing, at some places face the
Germans within a qtranter of a rnile.
Their field entrenchments offer .ad-
mirable shelter from the effects of
the German 'artillery, which conse-
quently reduees their casualties and
permits the allies to await in com-
parative safety the German at-
atta,cks, which must be made across
the open, and often at terrible eost.

NEW SUCCESSES
FOR CZAR'S ARMY
German Counter -strokes In Ras,
• sian Poland Have Everywhere'
, Faile,d.
A 410sPlAc117froin London says: It
is,Officially' announced in Petrograd
that the Russian armies have won
decisive victorie,s, over the Gernilan
forces near the frontiers of Prussia
a nd Silesia. The • G era -trans have
been no more ;successful than the
Austrians in halting the Russian
advance.
The general staff ,specifies Rus -
Sian succestses near Simno, in the
Province of Suwalki Northern Po-
land, and at Andrejew, foety miles
north of Cracow. The Germans
have abandoned ,the bomba,eclinent
of the fortrses of Ossowiec and are
suffering eonsiderably, in a hurried
'retreat.
The Russian Embassy in Rome
tarnishes details of the dilaster
which has overtaken the German
offensive in Suwalki and Lodz pro-
vinces. In the battles which
brought about the 'eallapse. of their
invasion of Russia, the Germans
lost '30,000 killed and 20,-000 prison-
ers. Theywore so thorenghly beat-
en near Suwalki a,nd ether towns
that they fled pell miedl, leaving be-
hind them wagon -brains, batteries
and baggage. The soldiers threw
away their rifles.
While the success of the, Russian
armies h,a,.s been so marked in 'the
north, the advance through Hun -
'gory is amazingly rapid. The Rica-
siBin army now sweeping across' the
plains of Hungary may take Buda,
pest without, having to strike 4
blow. The Stockholm ,Jearn'al de-
clares that the, Russians are already
virtually masters of the eity of
Budapest, as well as the fertile pro-
vince, and that they now ,command
the district which supplies, the
whole Austrian Empire with wheat,

steady procession of Russian vic-
tories over Germans and Austrians
by Ga.ying that the Russian artillery
has been proved to be more effec-
tive than the German or Austrian
guns. The Russian field moitars
are incomparably superior to the
old type of C.,4erman mortars. An-
other cause for success lies in tie
inexhaustible resounds of Russia, in
reserve troops, war munitions and
food supplies.

CLINTON, ONTARIO
GERMANY'S OIL SUPPLIES.
Rave Been Cut Off By Russia's
Rapid ltaid.,
A despateh frOin Petrograd says:
One result of the Russian raid
across the. Carpathians in, pursuit
of the retreating Austrians has been
to cut off Germany's, oil 'supplies for
her Zeppelins, armored motors ,and
traction engines, which were ob-
tained from the, Hungarian oil re-

GERMAN FORCES EXHAUSTED
Allies Able to Repulse Them and Follow Up rlore
Easily
A despatch from Paris says: The
German attacks seeni to have be-
come less, energetic and the addles
have been able to repulse them and
follow them up more easily. There
are signs that exhaustion is setting
in among the invaders, owing to the
hard fighting and the severe wea-
ther eonditions. Meanwhile the
.
allies are being given intervals of
rest in the trenches between the
peraods of intense exertion, as
fresh relays ean be brought to the
front at any time.
The recent terrible hand-to-hand
conflicts on the western and eastern
wings arose from the attempts of
the German and the ,allied generals
ba eotecute flanking movements in
great force at the same time in the
open country. The lines o,f the
armies have been growing even
longer in a mutual ende,avor to
overlap each other, The wings have
been heavily reinforced, buethe al-
lies have been able to bring greater
power to bear aed not only have
prevented tAlie Germans from break-
ing through but have gained ground
steadily and now have the advan-
German prisoners, who have been
taken in large numbers on the west-
ern end of the fine, show that the
reinforcements which have arrived
recently eensist largely el men who
are nearing middle age. Some of
them are fathers with families, who
had been away from the, active
army service for ten or fifteen
years. This •seems to indicate that
many corps have be.en withdrawn
to meet the Russian advance.
The German practice of maintain-
ing an incessaut offensive .appears,
according •to military melt, to be
having the result of wearing out
their human material. Some of
their 'corps have been almost, wiped:
out of existenee. The fighting has
been unceasing -something previ-
ously Unknown in military 'history -
and before this fight started many
German regiments, had fought all
the way down from Liege, Be4gium.
The generals in command of the
allies are full of praise for the corp's
of despatch riders, War° since the
great Battle of Aisne have 'kept up
communications be the vari-
ous ,Oorps along the line now spread-
ing from the Somme to the Moselle,
and along the frontier of Alsace,
A BUSY BRITISH CRIIISER
