The triumphant entry into Warsaw, of the ���������Juberhuman in shining armor has been now inde- initely postponed, and his cloak and carriage Raptured. The utter rout of the right wing of the Ger-V lah army under the Crown Prince was sav������d, tt is said, at the cost of the Austrian division held In reserve at Weilun. The German army around Lodz, under com-^. and of General von Mackenzen has been |'crushed and dispersed.\" One portion of it is reported as hastening due north in an effort to join >rces with General Francois' command at Sol- Jan ; but they have the Vistula to cross and their position in ai^ilitary sense, is not an enviable jne. r s It is estimated that von Hindenburg has loit ine quarter of his effective force in this ill-ajdvised t*aid. The German corps which was permitted to Break through the Bussian center at Brzeziny is low held i}p by the Russian troops just north of >dz and whilst still at bay and refuting to sur- ender, it is merely., a matter of time when they lust lay down their arms or be annihilated. Disaster is the word for the Germans. Deci- ive victory for the Grand Duke.. Jt settles all |ttought of further invasion and the, Russians, are lid to be pressing their armies forward against xe main German positions at Breslau, Posen ������nd Fhorn. Breslau is reported in a state of panic at the Russian approach. All business is suspended and Ihe better class are in flight. Seven thousand [���������efugees from, Breslau have arrived in Munich. The Russians are now in complete command If the easy passes through the Carpathian moun- lains and the way to Budapest���������the Hungarian ipital lies open before them across that country's fertile plains.

THE WAR l-OAN London, Nov. 27���������Lloyd George announced in Parliament to-day that the War Loan had been greatly,oversubscribed. The Chancellor gave no figures, but said that a marked feature of the subscription was the number of individuals, totalling over 100,000, who had made application for small sums. These would receive first attention. The Scandinavian countries are mobilizing and are reported to have combined to defend their neutrality, against all-coiners. ���������-��������� TBe British Battleship Bulwark (1902) 12,000 toils, 750 men, was utterly destroyed by an explosion as she lay off Sheerness, estuary of the Thames on Thursday. Only 14 of the men were . saved. An accident some experts say. A commission has been appointed to investigate. \"An enemy has done this thing\" is our own opinion and it , may weir be worth careful investigation for there can be no doubt but that the Kaiser has had something besides \"Big guns\" up hjs sleeve before he undertook the conquest of the world.���������The complete collapse of Admiral Craddock's fleet before the Germans will bear some investigation as well as the sinking of the Bulwark; the cause may be the same in both instances and may be neither guns nor torpedoes.'

TEN MILLION MEN IN x - #.������gH f EHE ��������� Sir:���������Sitting at my camp fire in the almost impenetrable forest of Graham Island, B. C, a few miles from the most northwesterly corner of the British Empire, the fortnightly mail just in, I search through my paper for the latest war news and read September llth, Vancouver news. Then I turn to the English papers and find \"Spectator\" \"Daily Telegraph and \"Times\" of mid-August; then the \"Literary Digest\" of Philadelphia, and I settle down to the leading articles. In three out of the four last named I find the words \"This Amazing War.\" Now, I- am amazed to see the \"Spectator\" writing in a vein which shows it has no idea of the situation whatever. It speaks of England beaten to her knees. How many seconds would England be on her knees? Just as long as it took Germany ' to dig the grave and no longer. Do the English papers really think, as I gather they do, that Germany is fighting for England's trade and commerce, or that she didn't quite foresee that for a ' time she (Germany) must lose all her own foreign ~ trade while fighting for far nwjre than that. The most that England seems to expect from a'defeat is the loss of her Empire and the payment at about three-fourths *ot the .cost of the war. That's ^ a small part of what Germany is fighting for. '\" Does England understand that whereas William the First conquered Eugland,. dispossessed mostN o.f the Saxons and gave-their property to Normans, William the Second would do far worse, than that; all Wbuld be dispossessed after being' most throughly disarmed.. Does England think that if France were defeated French would still be taught in French , schools, or English spoken anywhere but in America, (or as near as they like to get to it). The \\ Kaiser has six sons, if they win they will be the six kings of Europe and Great Britain. . Germany has fourteen million soldiers, if they they win will be fourteen million land owners, of Europe. Something worth fighting for! \" This,' and' this only, explains the tearing up of treaties. This, and this only, explains the German atrocities. For, not only must the war be won by any means fair or foul, but the populations which are to be subjected must in the process be thoroughly terrorized. If only the picture were once seen in its completed form Kitchener would not be appealing to the population of Great Britain for half a million men, but there would be ten million men in the Empire clamouring for rifles. \" . X With this picture before one can one expect that Germany will respect treaties or anything* else? The prizeis toobig,randfromthe^ point'of ^\" view that they are barbarians they cannot be .blamed. But they should not be treated as if they were sportsmen or honorable foes. Does anyone believe: thut if the German war party could get hold of a gas or explosive which would* murder every man, woman and child in France and England they would hesitate ..about,using it! There are two classes in Germany, the Socialist f������nd the war party, all are soldiers, and everyone of them carries a '' Castle in Spain\" in his haversack. Thirty years ago T was staying at Slough near Windsor, and met a highly educated German who was mathematical master and an army coach. I went for a walk with him, and shall never forget the.conviction with which he spoke when he said. \"We Germans are barbarians and in the next war you will see it.\" The educated German is a scientific barbarian, and his intention to do the very thing he - js doing now in all its details has been ^hewn in many ways* in the last ten years, only we wouldn't believe it. I was in England three years ago, and still remember Robert Blachford 's p.imphlet. He showed plainly that \"Germany will be ready in 1914 to fight England for possession of the Empire, and will make, or seize upon, some small excuse to declare war. Few listened to him. Even he, I think, did not grasp the full extent of what Germany means by the conquest of Europe. It isn't trade, though that would come, nor even dominion ; it is dispossession;; and the German language from end to end, and all that that implies. A temporary loss of commerce while fighting for the actual ownership of the country���������houses and treasures of Europe and England, was foreseen and; is nothing to her. This explains why she locks up her fleet, at present, she never intended to use it until Europe should be at her feet, and \" the French and Russian flets should be hers. Jn one matter v?e are to blame, we have unconsciously fooled Germany ; for years we have shown great fear of her, and she has mistaken fear for cowardice; she came to the conclusion ������ that we were no more to be reckoned with on land than Belgium or Servia. Three surprises which should co3t her the game. B. C. LAND SURVEYOR 1 Victoria, B. C. THE WESTERN CALL.

A recent bulletin of the Maine Agricultural , Experiment Station shows that the poultryman or farmer can materially add to the profits of his business by properly caring for the droppings of his fowls. For example, it is shown that, the droppings from 1,000 fowls if preserved without nefedles, loss are worth at ���������. least $300 per annum, and this estimate is- based on the assumption that less than half of the drop- ; pings, or only 30 pounds per hen per year, can be collected. V According to the Maine Station, the droppings should be collected daily and mixed with substances which will (1) prevent loss of nitrogen, (2) add sufficient potash and phosphoric acid to make a better-balanced fertilizer, and (3) improve the mechanical condition of-:the^iih:anuW:so-tKS:t'itT^^ti'' beapplied to the land with _t manurespreader. This can be done as follows: Tp each 30 pounds of the manure add 10 pounds of sawdust, good dried loam, or peat, 16 pounds of acid phosphate, and 8 pounds of kainit. Such a misture'WilL'con-' t^mlabouO of phosphoric acid, and 2 per <5ent of potash, which, used a. the rate of 2 tons per acre would furnish 50 pounds of nitrogen, 185 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 80 pounds of potash, and at the present price of fertilizing ingredients is worth about $10 per ton. The mixture fould furnish a well-balanced stable fertilizer, which, although not fine enopgh to work well in drills, can be sucessfully applied with a manure spreader The treated manure should be well sheltered until time to apply to the land1���������that is, shortly before ploughing:-���������From the i' Conneticut; Agricul: tural College Pjress Bulletin.\" '//'��������� :X : USE BKmmXtlL FOR FATTENING CHICKENS / Skim milk is one of the best fattening foods j Oatmeal and finely ground buckwheat are also good. Low grade flour may be used, but most of the fattening ration should be made of the two former. Mix the meal as a gruel and feed the chickens lightly afc the start; Great care should be taken not to overfeed in the forepart of the fattening period. JCeep the birds hugry practically all of the time, then during the latter part of the fattening, feed all they will eat up clean at ,two'- or three different times eich day. Under proper management each - chicken should put on a pound increase in weight in about two weeks. ������The best weight to take chickens f^fattening\" is~a 5 cents a pound increase over lean chickens should be expected. This will make quite difference in the value between a lean and a fattened chicken. Fattening poultry is cerT tainly a profitable business, and sour skim milk j reduces the cost of feeding and adds to the pro- t fit.���������M. A. J.

The following extracts from the October number of the \"Bible in the World\", the magazine of the British and Foreign Bible Society, will be of interest. The Bible Societe has not forgotten the needs of the loyal contingents from the overseas Dominions who are hastening to the assistance of the mother country. Already there have been despatched to Quebec 35,000 copies of the specially bound New Testament, ordered by_the Canadian Bible Society for distribution among the Canadian contingent.. To South Africa 5000 English and 5000 Dutch New Testaments are being sent out; while arrangements are also: being made to supply Australian and New Zealand expeditionary forces. - - ���������������������������\"'-. . <\\ ��������� '��������� .; A letter has come from the headquarters of the Central European Agency at Berlin, after a silence lasting several weeks. The Bible House remains open, and the staff have been busily engaged in coping with the' demand for Testaments and Gospels for distribution among the German troops on the march. Altogether about 100,000 copies of the Scriptures have been distributed by the society in Germany during the time of the mobilization. In the German empire and Austria-Hungary the bible society circulated last year 600,000 copies of the scriptures at an expenditure of over 8000 pounds, mainly upon c.olportage. In France, Belgium and the Russian empire, the society circulated last year 815,000 copies, and expended about 17,000 pounds. Those who have not informed themselves on the question have little idea \\of the amazing growth of the circulation of the Bible during the last hundred years.' It is but little more than a ceutury ago that Voltaire, prophesied that in a hundred years. the Bible would be an extinct book. How has that prophecy been fulfilled? From 1804 to 1817 the total issues of Bibles and portions of the^same in all Europe and America were about three million copies, or an average of less than a quarter of amillion ayear, distributed in less than seventy languages. At present tbe thirty Bible societies of the world which exist for the specific purpose of publishing the^'Word of God without,note or comment, issue the whole Bible or portions of it in over.500 languages and the aggregate of circulation is- about 18,000,000 copies a year. Then there are Bibles and portions printed by private publishing firms, returns/ of which have recently-been gathered for the first time;:. and these add 10,000,000 copies to the annual output. Thus we have 28,000 000 or more than 120 times the annual output of a century ago. And besides this, there are the many millions of copies of texts and quotations circulated annually in our marvellously developed Sunday School literature and the literature of the churches. Historians and archaeologists are every year making discoveries by which fresh light is focussed upon the records of Holy Writ. Each fresh discovery will magnify the miracle of its history and preservation and tend to demonstrate more clearly the fact that the Bible is notv a- mere book but is a living and inextinguishable source of light and life as well as of wisdom. \" 4$������4������^M������44^l|fr|ft4fr4}4 4{44|44fr^Mfri$M3M$4^Mg4^M$44fc4Jl������i^ I Old Wellington will ��������� Reduce Your Fuel Bill This is the cheapest COAL in Vancouver, ? value considered.

WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN Few writers are more often referred to at the present day that the German pessimistic philosopher ; Friedrich Nietzsche,-, whose writings are believedto have had much to do in-forming the terrible characteristics prominent in the German soldiery; at work in Belgium arid France. The teaching of his book \"Thus; Spake Zanathuitra\" has been summarised as Vfbllows ���������-���������*' Seeing the misery caused by sin and the freedbiri bf the animal \"unfettered By,a. sense of crime, to whom the conscience never wakes\", Nietzsche finds the cause of this misery not in sinj the reality of which he denies, but in the morality which presumes to say Don't. If, like the animal, we .frankly say Yes to every impulse,'life wbiild he thinks,be full, rich,��������� and free.-\"-.-'. XX. X'..-.,XT ':',. It. is satisfactory to find that altogether only about 3,500 copies of his great work have ever been sold to British people. The above is taken from a critiqueVotiNietz- che 's bookbysaMontreal naper and, whilst the limited-circulation of the, book in Britain is so far hopeful it does not in the least abate the fact that for the past quarterof-'_a'-:cenH^iiie^'iafMbsphe7ie'' of bur Universities and Theological Seminaries and the preaching of multitudes of our pulpits has been tainted by German philosophy and that confessedly the Nietzsehean philosophy has completely conquered the German Nation ��������� Kaiser ��������� War-Lords ��������� professors, preachers and \"the common herd\" ��������� until a hardly a sane German remains to tell the taieXX-V XXX- X ..V- ^ : ; That this is the? root reason why wJe are now. fighting our old Protestant friend arid'illy is beyond all question. This is the. spiritual reason��������� the unseen reason and therefbre the real reason. -Now that the fat is m the fire Nietzsche is being, openly crucified and altogether with his even cruder and inader brother Atheist Treitcschke blamed entirely for the German debacle, t But this is.not fair and will not'help us find the real devil who is seducing the nations. The crude, bald, materialistic arinimalism of Nietzsche apd Treitzschke. piay be compared to, the gross Mediaeval Devil with long pointed ears.and clov- eri hoof and forked tail, such a devil could only be dangerous in a despiritualized age. X The BiMe describes Satairiac Ian yAngel bf Jjight, and before his fall, the most beutiful creation of Heaven! The idealistic transcendentalism of Immanuel J������ant,is ias purely Atheistic as the Nietzsehean materialism and to a spiritually minded people far more dangerous. With the German people the Kant stage came first and prepared the way��������� but before Kant came, what is now called \"The Higher Criticism\" destroying, in the minds of the people, Bible Christianity and leaving a mere shell of sacrementarian formalism���������-from the horrible hypocrisy bf which the German nation has turned back to Pagan animalism and the Pagan virtue that might is right... Whilst the teachings of Nietzsche and Treitzschke \"are being denounced on every hand from pulpit and press we notice that the subtler forms of German Atheism are still.extolled. As a matter of fact our present day teaching is rotten with Neitzscheism. Fra Elberta says \"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of folly\" and is loudly applauded. As Nietzsche indicates it is the fear of God that must be eradicated from the human heart ere the real super-man can appear. ������ Pastor Russell is busy by word of mouth, pamphlet, press and photo-play at this business of fear eradication and although the regular churches are down on Pastor Russell it is not because they too have not succumbed to the philosophic **^j������*************^&<<^ BE PREPARED!

Let ws make a through job of it whilst we are at -it. - ,. ��������� \"J' Kitchener and Tommy Atkins and Joffre and the Piou-piou Beige will dispose of Germany in, the flesh. Let us who remain behind dispose of ;the,German spirit in bur midst in Church and Hall and College and wipe the slate clean and get back to God and his ever, abiding word. This will be the hardest part of the fight and if we do not win this spiritual victory no triumph over physical Germany will avail. Then is Britain's doom sae: led as surely as that of Germany now and for the same reasons. NAPOLEON'S ESTIMATE OF THE NATIONS Napoleon Bonaparte in his later days at St. Helena gave out the following: \"The English character is superior to ours. They are in everything more practical than we are. They emigrate, they marry, they.kill themselves, with less indecision than we display in going to the opera. They are also braver than we are. I think that one can say that in courage they are to us what we are to the Russians, what the Russians are to the Germans, what the Germans are to the Italians. Hadv I had an English army I should have conquered the universe, for I could have gone all over the world c without demoralizing my troops. Ha.d I been in 1815 the choice, of the English, as I was of the.French. I might have lost the battle of \"Waterloo. without losing a vote in the Legislature or avsoldier from my ranks. I should have, won the game.\" . , v THE WAY OF THE PATHAN <.*****************^**^*r**^^ Northeastern France; Nov. 11.���������A considerable concentration of German forces was noticed on Thursday afternoon in front of the British trenches south of Ypres. About this time a heavy' rain began to fall and continued to come down in torrents as night approached. The British troops knowing that the massing of the enemy's troops was progressing, were keenly alert. X Behind a thin line of trees a short distance in the rear there was a silent. gathering of niimy hundreds of almost invisible figures moving: witbT a lithe tread- No word wasuttered, ordersBebra^ ing to pass down the lines as whispers borne on the wind. , By degrees a wore or so of these hazy figures detached themselves from the main body and moved stealthily up to and beyond the advanced line of the British trenches. Word was passed along under the breath of the men: \"The Indians are going; out.\". .X X- vfv The ghostly outposts; crawled noiselessly ^b the first German trench; and vfor five minutes there was perfect quiet, then a few shots, follbWr ed immediately afterwards Va wild splutter ���������of; musketry intermingled with cries and groans.1 Three or four light balls :thrown in the air revealed to the British troops a weird sight s)x hundred yards away.. On their front was a mass of wild, struggling men, everywhere was the glean* of steelahd a dizzy whirl of rifle butts.\": It was the Pathans at their deadly w,ork. For ten minutes they hacked and slew the half asleep and wholly bewildered Germans,- who bad laid down in serried ranks to await the order for a night assault on the British trenches- The score of Pathans ..who went out in^advance slew the German pickets quietly and easily ���������which is the Pathan way. The main body was thus enabled to get in the very mi^st'of the sleep-, ing foe unchallenged.'^he slaughter was terrible, and only ended \\yhen the surviving Germans, who were in great force, became thoroughly aroused and ran blindly to the rear. Then their swarthy assailants came back briskly and, as silently as they went out. They might have been out for an evening's stroll. Their Josses were practically nothing. The Germans, of course,- were furious���������which is the German way. For hours their guns poured a rain of shrapnel into the British trenches in the hope of securing a meed of revenge. But this did not dispel the contented smile from the British soldier's face. As for the Pathans they had hurried off to bed. > THEN PREPARE FOR A MIRACLE. MANY RUSSIAN WOMEN IN THE FIRING LINE. Don Male Attire and Fight well���������One Woman Wounded Three Times. London.���������The Petrograd correspondent of The Morning Post .says: '' The number of women coming back wounded from the Russian front proves that the contingent .of adventurous females on the fighting lines is considerable. These women as a general rule cut their hair, assume a soldier's uniform and get secretly, with the connivance'-; of 'friends. air*>rig the soldiers. Others start albrie On varioua pretexts, such as seeking injured relatives, and then don= male attire when they reach the front. , A Cossack g?rl trooper^ ilelen Choba by name, Went with the full knowledge and permission bf\" the authorities as a horsewoman, swordswoman and a markswoman.

(London (Ont.) \"Advertiser\"). X XWhile many have lost hope that the defeat of'the German Emperor will come from the people over'whom he rules, there are observers to be found who are still waiting for the moment when Socialism will declare itself over Kaiserism. It has been shown definitely through the suspension of the \" Vorwaerts\", the German Socialist official organ, that there is a strong antiwar .section in Germany, and as most of the voters who form the Socialist majority are to be found in the Kaiser's army, there remains a possibility tbat the stage is setting for.asudden eruption of Teutonic sanity. The flowing well of wisdom has been corked by the War Lord, but-the internal force may be- gathering. A properly-arranged explosion would blow Wilhelm to St. Helena and Kruppism would be hurled so high it would never come down. Surely to-day there are men left in Germany of the type of Ferdiand August Bebel, probably the foremost Social Democrat of his time. He was promient for years in the labor movement and entered the North German Diet in 1867 and the Reichtag in 1871. In 1902 he led 82 Socialists in the Reichstag. Several times he was imprisoned, once, in 1903, for high treason, and he has frequently felt the force of the Mailed Fist in other ways. His voice was never silenced and his following has numbered in the millions. Always against war and German aggression by the rule of \"blood and iron\" he foresaw that sooner or later the Kaiser; would plunge his country into mad attempt for world supremacy. He also recognized that Socialists would be forced into fighting against their will. This and ihe rest of his prophecy follows: When,Germany goes to war'there will be whole armies of our adherents in the fighting raAks. As long as all goes well and victory crowns pur banners they can do little but let themselves be swept along on the triumphant flood.' But once let the impression take root that Hozerizollern prestige has lost its magic���������once let the'War Lord's pride be greatly hiimblepTby a genuine disaster to his arms���������then prepare for a miracle! FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES IN OPERATION. Washington, D. C, Nov. 16.���������After months of work on the federal reserve board and preparation by the banks which will be members of the new system, the twelve federal reserve banks' opened their doors to business today. Their entrance into the field of re-discount will mark the first great change in the banking system of this country in the last 50 years, since the national embank was conceived.and called into being after the civil war. X The twelve banks, designed to take care of the commercial needs, of the entire nation are located in the following cities: Boston, New York Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta^ Cleveland, Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Karisas City, Pallas and San Francisco. For the present the operations of the banks will be limited largely to the rediscounting of .notes, drafts and bills of exchange but as expe- . nence is gained, steps to have them excercise their other functions under the currency act, will be taken.' The directors of all the banks have been selected, the board has named its representative for each and suitable quarters have been se-' cured in all the twelve cities. Officials here will watch the progress of the system with the utmost interest. , It starts on its , mission with 7571 member banks. Their authorized capital is put at $105,795,600, of wbich one sixth has been, called and is in their vaults. The evact figures for the cash reserves in all 12 -Bank������:has^-not.= V^beenV accurately computed-' but the estimate puts the amount at close to $250,- 000,000, dravm under the law from the present reserve agents of member banks. The reserve banks begin operations at a time when members of the board feel that there is an excellent opportunity to test out the value of the _ system. Their ability to rediscout paper is counted upon as one of the means to loosen the purse strings of\" the banks, provide machinery for caring for crops and generally meet business needs. X .

The. English birds [, Were, up and about their pretty! game, avid and untiring as swifts oh a summer evening. I's^w nothing of the German ,) machines. Too many of their wjngs have been crippled in the last week or two for their venturing anywhere within the range of snipers, the pom pom shells, and the new anti-aircraft shells, backed with light shpapnel which had been doing so much aerial damage of late. X ''- The British air work was magnificently dlaring. The. crack, flyer of the army is a young officer. Every day and all day he is up and about and doing wonderful things. The other morning, up Vahead of the lark, he volplaned from aheight like a falling arrow right into the midst of the Ger- tman lines as if he intended to settle among them and at least make a brief morning call for breakfast. . ..The Germans were too astonished for amoment to .do anything but \\gasp and gape at him. He was within point blank range of the (infantry fire. He instantly dropped hlalf a dozen puffs, as the Tommies call the aeroplane bombs, waved his hand, and off and up 'he went again. X Hundreds of rifle shots .whirled around him as he fled. Two of .them struck him, and* three mi- fnutes later he was down the British- lines once more -with' blood I trickling through rents in his tu- iriic. He was patched up and 'bandaged/- had a Kewrtjc lvmab������#tt \"Surely you had enough for one day,'.' said General (name deleted by censor). \"Have a rest at least until tomorrow. We don't want to Jose these matinee performances^ of yours. They are too fine for anything.\" But the young officer banged his armored helmet on his head and said that he could not resist it. Of course if the General absolutely refused, then ��������� '' By all means go, if you are so keen on it,\" replied the General. So off he went and the General and his staff watched the show from the headquarters of the Brit- ish division. Young Officer Excels. This! particular afternoon the young officer excelled himself. An extremely well screened German battery was doing nasty work from behind a slight rise at the beck of the German trenches. This was the airman's quarry. Up and up he went in quick climbing spirals, and when he was at a height of 2,000vfeet, he poised for a spell to spot the lurking place of the battery. His first signal was for the gunners to. plant their shells immediately below him; They fired X The-shells fell some distant to the right,and did no more damage thai* to dismantle further an already dismantled camp. The airman's next signal was to tell the rangefiriders to swing their guns more to the left. Again it was too far. VAgain he signalled and this thine the first of the shells wrecked the,limber of the foremost Prussian gun, smashing up horses and men alike. .V InstantlyVithe airman indicated that the rahge had been found at last, ahd then shells burst over been flogging the Allies so mercilessly early in the day. In five minutes all; that were left of the battery crew Xoroke away from the cunning screen and fled across the country. The General, who had been watching this with tremendous interest, through his field glasses,; clapped his hands. \\ '^Splendid, magnificent,\" he cried. \"The best show I have ever withnessed. That man must have a heart of steel in a body of iron. \" The General congratulated the laughing officer when ha- came down to.Mother Earth once more, tired out, but still jubilant. He congratulate'd him and shook his hand. . \"You're almost too good to last\" he said, and the airman only laughed. and before tea time, he was up land among the battery, which had Paris, Nov. ll.:���������The Intransige- ant prints ah account af an air duel from the lips of a wounded artillery man. He \"says: , , \"My battery was crossing an open plain when the humming of an aeroplane motor, like the noise of .[&. huge fly, Was heard above. Instantly everyone stiffened and was silent. Someone whispered: vi recognize the Boche motor. Jt js certainly a German biplane.'' \"All crouched hear the ground for the purpose of remaining unnoticed. \" Suddenly another aeroplane appears. V,. ..,..'. \"That's !aFrehch mono\"- whispered my Well-informed comrade. We can see the tri-color emblem. \" They are gaing to fight. Both mount. Suddenly the rattle of a quick firer bursts from the German. The monoplane dives sharp ly sideways. ,. \"My God, she-shit! cries, anrtff- ficer near me. X - \"No, it was only a manoeuvre. The Frenchman .dodging the fusli- ade, mounts to deliver a broadside. His big adversary 'seeks vainly to escape. The more agile monoplane outmanoeuvres him, diving under and delivers a broadside. \"The enemy veers upWard as if trying to escape, but dense smoke sprouts from the steel carcass. He dips downward and then slides in a.long volplane toward a neigbo- rihg clover field. \"We run toward him cheering, but the biplane clears the clover field and seems abouth to rise again. Then it pitches headfirst into the swamp beyond. Flames shoot from the wreck. We find the occupants a captain and sapper, 'both burned and mangled. Amid cheers the victorious mono- pftne, the pilot of which is a well- known airman, now a sergeant, disappears.\" German Airmen Killed. London, Nov. 11.'���������Iii battles a mile and a half in the air, three of the leading German aviators havebeen killed, according to the latest casualty list published iri Berlin. Each was caught while .^observing positions of the Allies' artillery jin: \"France, were pursued by the swifter French aeroplanes and killed while in flight. The names of Lieut, von Kleyst and Lieut.

Paris, Nov. 11.���������The story of an exciting incident that took place near an important bridge over the Oise, not far from Semp- igny, has been received here. -,' The French were ordered -to hold the bridge at any cost. They placed quick-firers, which played havoc for twenty minutes in the German ranks and prevented the German advance. Suddenly the bugle sounded for a French retreat and the Germans quickly pursued them ave \"the bridge. A moment later a French aviator, who had been hovering overhead drops a bomb on the bridge, effectually destroying same and putting a large number of the Germans hors de combat. The French im- medifltly charge upon the remaining Germans and capture all ahat remain alive. -Quickly a pontoon bridge is thrown across the river and the positions from which they had been driven are reoccupied.
