On the subject of recruiting,
Earl Eitelhener sad: :"A country
which prides itseif on outdoor sport
a.s does 'Britain should have no diffi-

making great strides in efficiency,'
and before long will be able to take
their part in the campaign. Mean-
while, reserve units are being sent
to augment the expeditionary force,
and their places are being filled by
territorials.
"While Britain has good ground
for quiet confidence, it should be
borne in mind that the struggtle is
bound to be a long one, and it be-
hooves us to develop armed forces
to carry on and bring the mighty
conflict to a successful conclusion.
It will, be necessary, in order to
keep the army at its full strength,

lowing ,stor7, the Matin giving Sena-
tor, Panliat as authority, and the
noted author, Daniel Lesueur
(Mme. Jeanne Lanauze), signing
the nrticles, in the Gaulois
"The Prussian -s occupied the min-
ing village of Lourches, near Dou-
chy. A lieutenant with a half com-
pany had ,arrested fifteen miners,
and was giving an order to shoot
them when he bimself fell dead,
the shot ,eoining from a French ser-
geant, badly wounded and lying
half hidden in. a ditch chase: by dug
for the fifteen bodies. The ser-
geant summoned all his energy
and succeeded in shooting the lieu-
tenant with his, revolver. The Ger-
mans rushed on the sergeant,
:struck ,art: hien with their rifles and
kicked -him and dragged hirn to the
fifteen prisoners. Then there was a
thort delay While the German Soi-.
cliers nought orders from their cap-
tain. While awaiting the capbein
the wounded .sergeant asked those
looking on to. bring him water. A
small boy rani and got a cup, out
of which the seigeant drank. The
German captain arrived in time to
see the incident, and raved at 'the
boy as a "yOung se,oundrel," and
declared he would shoot the boy and
the rest of them too. Then, chang-
ing his, mind, he thrust a rifle in the
boy's hands and told him to shoot
the sergeant while a firing party
shot the fifteen millers. The order
to fire was given and the fifteen fell.
The captain fell also, for the boy,
quickly swin,ging round, shot hien
point blank.
"The German soldiers bayoneted
the' boy to death."
A subscription has been opened to
build a monument to the boy,
whose name was Emil Despres.

Premier Asquith announced on
Wednesday that the Indian troops
of the British army areron their way
to the seat of war. It is believed
that they number about 70,000. Al-
though the Prernier did not ,say so,
it is probable that these rtroops have
already reached the front and are
taking part in the battle now raging
in Fera,»ce. It has been the custom
of the War Office and the Govern-

any event, but to -wait until it had

DUEL
AMONG THE CLOUDS
Dramatic Struggle for Supremacy of the Air Be-
tween British and German
A denpartch froni London sane:
The Times has the following from
Havre.: "I learned en -Thursday of
a combat waged up among the
clouds, during the battle of the
Marne, one of the most re,markabk
which this WM of wonders has hith-
erto disclosed. A German aero-
plane fining -high visited the British
lines with the object of reconnoit-
ering. As the machine hovered
overhead well out of reach of fire
a British stirma,n shot up to attack.
The German saw the adversary and
attempted to athaek him from above.
Shots were fired but missed the Bei-
tinh plane, which swept in a. wide
semi -circle around his attire -many.
Mounting steadily the German tried
to swoop in order to 'open fire at
close range from above, The sud-
den, giddy ma,noeuvring of both
machines showed renother swift
change in the position. The Ger-
MM.
almost at the same altitude, but
out of range of one ,a,nother. Dach
was fighting for .a higher place.
Rushing together the two manhines,
far up now, looked exantly like
great birds, in combat. Then there
was the distant sound of shooting.
Darting hither and thither each air-
man determined to win the advan-
tage over his foe. A machine would
advance and retire. Suddenly the
British machine swings above, the
German reels a,nd seems to stagger,
and then, trav-elling more slowly,
the German descends. The German
is wounded.
There have eccuered to my know-
ledge many such encounter, 111
which the amazing pluck, of the ,air-
men has been revealed tinien almost
without number. .1 rethrel this
story, however, as being the most
