"I was first under fire while I had the bead of a wounded Fremd? sol dier on my lap dressing a gaiting wound In his Jaw," said Dr. Hopkins. "Shrapnel burst overhead, but none of the missiles hit either of us.

"1 saw hundreds of men torn to pieces in a few seconds. Horses were wiped from sight by the torrictic ar tillery iir<' ol' the Germans, and wag ons containing ammunition and pro visions were blown into fragments. "lt was like the work of an unseen hand. I could see the ranks filled one moment and in the next a gaping hole bad been torn out and fifty men had disappeared. "In the retreat from Mons the French made a stand at Le Catean. They set up a masked field battery and awaited the onslaught of the Germans. The place ( boson was a large open field. Ten regiments of German cavalry harrying the rear of the allied forces charged across that field. When they got near enough the French batteries opened fire. The slaughter was terrible.
