INFANTRY CARRIED BRANCHES Bwift and Bold Attack That Suc ceeded?Wounded Sergeant Tells of Brilliant Work of King's Own Royal Lancashire Regiment at Mons. A dispatch from Lagny, Seine-et Marne, describes the devastation of the forest of Crecy. Blasted trees are standing stark and decapitated. Others, amazingly shattered by shells, lie on ground. The roads are covered with the d^p marks of the wheels of the tfeavy gun wagons and the ground Bhows hundreds of thousands of hoof markB where the cavalry ^nd artillery thundered by. In telling of an incident in the for est of Crecy the correspondent says: "The French and British alike swarmed about the wood with axes, knives, saws and even sabers. They bad a wide area down in next to no time Line after line of infantry, each nan carrying a thickly foliaged branch, moved forward in close order toward :he enemy, while behind, amid lopped :ree trunks, our artillery got into posi tion with machine guns and thirtetn pounders to cover the wood. As it noved forward all was a-rustle. The' attack which followed was as rapid, is fierce and as bold as anything that las been done in this huge campaign and won all the success which it nerited.

It snarled tome and spat bullets while overhead :he shells of the French and British artillery sped screamingly to their nark. But one incident nearly upset :he show.

For a few minutes :hey showed themselves on the sky ine in the bright sunshine. There was no mistaking the vivid scarlet of their breeches, and they were spotted it once by the German artillery.

Small parties of our boys swarmed up the hill stripped to the tvaist and lugged the heavy boxes out 3f the way of disaster. The men tell ne it was the hottest and most flam ing corner that they have ever been in, but they came through, and so did the ammunition. "By evening tfie enemy had been repulsed, the Marne was clear of them ind the fight was rolling farther and farther east of the capital." Lanterns Betrayed Germans. The correspondent relates another Incident which occurred in one of the smaller woods to the southeast of Crecy. He says: "It was held by the'enemy, but al though the wood gave good cover for a. time our patrols during the night by great daring smelt them out and carried the news of their whereabouts to the cavalry on one side 'and the in fantry on the other. "TnfniiHniislv enoueh the Germans | moved about with stable lanterns to guide them, unaware that trouble was so near. Suddenly they found their twinkling glow-worms a mark for the foe of whose proximity they had been blissfully unaware. They were smit ten woefully at midnight. A storm of bullets from our Maxims screamed through the sleeping trees like a tor nado. "The next morning scores of lan terns were picked up in the wood with their glasses shattered. A cavalry charge finally cleared the tragic little wood. Our losses were slight, but the Germans suffered severely. "Twenty prisoners taken in the melee were herded together in a clear ing. Their rifles had not been taken from them, but were stacked near by. In a rash moment they got the idea that they were but loosely guarded and mado a combined rush for their rifles. They will never make an other." How King's Own Fought. The first connected narrative of the severe fighting in which the King's Own Royal Lancashire regiment was engaged when in Killed ana wounaea the regiment had 11 officers put out of action, is told by a sergeant of the regiment who has arrived home wounded. The King's Own, with the Lanca shire Fusileers and the Middlesex regiment were ordered to cover the re treat of part of the allied forces from Mons. On Tuesday, August 25, they left the position In which they hatl FROST SEEN AS A CURATIVE Russian Scientist Has New Idea Which May Be Found to Work Out Perfectly. The Russian scientist, Bachmetleff, is reported to have succeeded in freez ing rats and other small animals, and bringing them back to life, apparently uninjured, by a process of gradual thawing. Hie experiments were sug gested by hibernating animals and dor mant reptiles. been entrenched to take new ground, and were marching through the night, finding themselveu at daybreak be tween Cambrai and Le Cateau. Sev eral thousand Frenchmen and a High land regiment had passed down their lines, and the King's Own were tak ing breakfast when the German ar tillery boomed forth. Several shells fell in the ^icinity of the trenches without doing much harm, bat the enemy's artillery was much Buperior in numbers to that of the allies, and they poured a raking shrapnel fire be fore the English guns began to speak. There was no doubt, either, about the enemy' range finding, and under cov er of the guns the enemy came in the proportion of six to one. Men were mowed down like nine pins by the bursting shrapnel, and it seemed as if the King's Own had been singled out by the special fury of the onslaught. Colonel Dykes fell at an early stage of the engagement whiio shouting encouragement to his men. Fighting continued furiously until half-past nine. Then there was a lull, and the enemy, seemingly re-en forced, made good their advance and another five hours' desperate conflict ensued. Brilliant Bayonet Charges. The allies fought the advance inch by inch, fighting becoming so close that the King's Own got home with several dashing bayonet charges, one * of the most brilliant of which was led by Clutterbuck, formerly a ranker of the Yorkshire light infantry, who, with a handful of men routed four times the number under his command. He paid the price of his gallantry with his life, but the casualties to his men were singularly light. The ser geant said: "It was just like Clutter buck." Lieutenant's Glorious Death. "Then," continued the sergeant, "there was Lieutenant Steel-Perkins, who died one of-the grandest deaths a British officer could wish for. He was lifted out of the trencheB wound ed four times, but protesting, crawled back again till he was mortally wounded." Proceeding, the sergeant said: "The first man knocked over was one of the most popular of the Rugby foot ballers in' the Dover garrison. He w&s shot through the mouth. "A German aeroplane which came over our position on the day preced ing the battle was accounted for; as sailed by a Bhower of bullets from more than one regiment, its recon noitering career had a sudden stop. The enemy swooped down on us so quickly at the finish that we were un able to remove all our dead and wounded. Stretcher bearers were shot down, and I, who had been, wounded with a shrapnel bullet in the muscle of the left arm, was taking a message for the doctor from the field Hospital wnen a sneu came ana uemui ished the roof. "All our King's Own dead are bur led In France, a few miles from the frontier. We saw many burned vil lages, and our artillery helped along many old women and children who were fleeing before the enemy." / M. RENAUD GOES TO WAR Famous Baritone of the Paris Opera Enlists as Private in French . Army. ' A tall, handsome man, hair snow white, face clean shaven, aged about flfty-flve years, carefully but simply dressed, walked into the antechamber of General Michel, military governor of Paris. Handing , his card to the /irriorlv at th? Hnnr he asked that it ? be sent in to the general. A few minutes later a young officer appeared. "Is this M. Renaud?" "It is." "M. Maurice Renaud of the opera?" "The same." "Delighted to meet you! Y9U wish to see the general? Come in at once." "What can I do for you, M. Renaud?" asked the general. "I wish to go to the front," "was the barytone's calm-response. There was a moment of silence. Then General Michel took M. Renaud by both hands, saying: "My friend, J? congflhtulate you. May you do your self and your country honor." Next day Maurice Renaud started at five in the morning for Verdun in the uniform of a private soldier? Renaud, the elegant, the debonair. He didn't have to go, but he wanted to atone for a foolish youthful escapade which caused him to evade part of his military service many years ago. "Ca Ira" as British March. The .King's Own Yorkshire light in* fantry'which suffered appalling mor tality among its officers in Belgium uses as its regimental march past "Ca Ira," the guillotine song of the French revolutionists. During one of the French campaigns the Yorkshires cap tured a French regiment with its full band, and adopted the tune as a me morial of that event. Cost of Naval Warfare. If a single dreadnaught battle squad ron of eight ships were ordered to 6team at full speed for hours and to fire each * gun and each torpedo tube once, the cost to the nation would be approximately $1,000,000, al lowing nothing for the depreciation of material.
