General Explains Conflict to
Correspondent Who Sees Fight
From High Tower—Projectiles are
Rained on Every Village Back of
the German Lines.
A correspondent to the German
"Division Headquarters Before Sou-
ches," writes by courier to Berlin
via The. Hague to this country under
the date of Tuesday, June 22. His
letter has just been received:
I am an eye-witness of a part of
the stubborn battle for Lille from the
top of a towerlike structure more
than two hundred feet above the
ground. I am precariously perched
on an improvised pine board bendt
flankel by my fellow-guest, the
young Prince Luitpold, Duke of Ba
varia, the brother-in-law of the King
of the Belgians, and my host, the
Lieutenant General who is command
er of the "Blood and Iron” division,
in which he takes a pride because It
has been hurled at the danger point
of every French offensive to date,
and the German generals all know
that this might have been the decis
ive battle of the world war if the
French had succeeded In breaking
through on a broad front.
The Germans, outnumbered, are
still fighting with Uieir backs to the
wall—a wall of heavy mortars and
howitzers that continually roar their
Defiance at the thousand Frteich
guns massed between Xeuvtlle and
Lorette.
This Is an artillery duel that stag
gers the imaginations, and almost
makes a nervous neutral correspond
ent forget the sensation at the pit of
his stomach caused by the fact that in
the long upward climb he mlsglvlng-
ly noticed that the town had been
riddled by French shrapnel, while
the general cheerfully remarked that
one big shell striking squarely would
bring the whole structure down.
Crouching low, so that the French
artillery observers may not spot us,
the prince, the general and I scan
the fascinating panorama of the fin
ish light for the fate of a continent.
That long, naked shoulder of a range
of hills, treeless and apparently with
out a single sheltering busb, says the
general, is the famous Lorette
Heights, whose every square foot is
drenched with French and German
blood.
The German line has been forced
from the crest and down the barren
slope by sheer pressure of irresistible
masses, and the general speaks with
unstinted admiration of the death-
defying bravery of the French in the
depperate charges that swept ever the
heights, wave after wave. But the
Germans have gained a Arm footing
at the bottom, and are holding their
line with equal desperation and cour
age
Apparently the French can not
gain an inch here any more, their at
tacks being repulsed with cruel
losses. They are forced to remain
Intrenched on the heights when not
charging, because on the slope they
would be exposed to the murderous
Ore of the German heavy artillery:
consequently the Hnes here are about
four or five hundred yards apart.
Between the lines I see dark
specks. They are the unburled
French dead; here are big. dark
blotches where the harvest of death
has been most bountiful. On that
Ore-swept slope I also see a mass of
ruined masonry that was once the
Chapel Of Notre Dame de Lorette, on
whose altar hundreds of brave
French and Germans have sacriflced
their 11-es:
To the left, where the naked
shoulder of the heights ends and the
thickly wooded slopes begin, says the
general, the English forces join the
French, and the English lines run in
an almost straight line close to La
Bmmm.
My attention Is next called to a
whitish, square, boxlike structure
close to the top of the Lorette
Heights. That Is the Souchez sugar
factory, so often mentioned In dis
patches and casualty lists. It has
been stormed by the French and Ger
mans, turn and turn about, and has
changed hands a dozen times.
The war has seen no bloodier
fighting per square yard than there
It was man to man with bayonet,
knife, and rifle butt. Continuous
Infighting raged for days in the up
per stories of the factory, but the
most awful feature of it, the general
staff said, was the death grapple in
the dark cellars.
The opposing batteries alternately
poured shells into it until, as my
friends the general put It, the fac
tory rather last its tactical value and
the ruins were left in the hands of
the French.
Further to the left, between two
woods, I pee the village of Souchez,
where the battle is raging most
fiercely. The Germans had made a
successful counter-attack south of
Souchez In the early morning hours.
En route here I had passed a con
tinuous procession of blue-gray-coat-
ed French prisoners, the unbounded
afoot, the wounded with blood-stain
ed, bandaged heads, arms in slinga,
riding in motor trucks, the severely
wounded lying very still In motor
ambulances—and wounded Germans
—too. In a .picturesque, pathetic pro-
etsslon from the ultimate front.
But these French prisoners were
lot cowards; on the contrary, the
general had explained to mo^that
only the few bravest of the brave
were caatght alive. When not killed,
they are those^JKfrush ahead In
the face jif -aTmost certain death.
courageous waver,
and retreat to their trenchea.
That la why an unusually large I
along by sheer force of example; and
this fanatical bravery of the French
makes them almost loved by their
German enemies. .r .,
touches lies under heavy shell fire.
To the left, toward Ecurle, the artil
lery duel Is fiercest. A nerve shat
taring “drum fire" is on. Several
kilometers of the German trenches
here skirt the heights which the
spendthrift French artillery Is now
plowing up. Splashes of dirt and
smoke cloud* where the shells strike
follow in such quick succession that
they produce the effect of-a long-
drawn gray-brown mist over the Oer
man lines, or a dingy curtain that
lifts occasionally.
' "Those very white smoke puffs are
shrapnel; the almost black clouds
show where the biggest shells are
raining," the general explains, add
ing with a grim note of pride: "Only
the strongest nerves can hold out
under that fire; but the French will
never break through there.”
From his aerial perch he makes
use of the ever-present telephone, and
gets the reassuring answer: "All’s
well; no signs of an Impending
French attack.”
“They probably got all the fight
they wanted Ln the night," he says,
and then points out to me the ar
row-straight double row of trees
marking the broad highway from
Arras to La Bassee, then the low
wooded heights running to the left
again and stretching to the horizon.
They are h61d by the Germans.
Behind them, hidden from my
view, lies Neuville. That narrow
-strip from Neuville to Souchez is a
reeking graveyard with hardly a
grave; for the living have been too
busy fighting to bury the dead.
At least ten thousand French dead
He out there, the general estimates,
and adds that the air Is so pestilen
tial Oiat latterly, he believes, a gen
tlemen’s agreement between the foes
has come into force to allow the
burial of the dead unmolested at
night, hut only those In immediate
proximity to the rival lines.
There Is reason to believe that the
French have bought their gains dear
ly, the general says. He estimates
their losses between thirty and forty
thousand opposite his division, where
they made their most desperate at
tempt to break through.
"The French hurled the flower of
their army against us here," he says,
’’their elite Twentieth Corps, their
Marine Corps, their Alpine Corps, and
their Moroccan Division. The colored
Frenchmen are generally negligible
and don’t amount to much; but the
Morocran division are splendid fight
ers. Regiment after regiment has
made an almost ' , ontln\ious storm of
attacks since May 9. They were
flung upon us bravely, but In vain.”
The German losses also were
heavy. The general made no attempt
to conceal or minimize them, fie told
me how many thousands his buffer
division had loat in five weeks, but
asked me to respect his confidence
and not mention the figures, which,
however, were very much lower than
those at which he estimated the
French casualties.
- He added thoughtfully: "Ten
French army corps are said to have
been massed against the Germans on
the Neuvllle-Iji Bassee line The cli
max of the fierce attacks was reach
ed and safely passed four days ago,
though we never had a moment’s
doubt of the outcome."
The general pointed over a range
of hills ahead, mentioned the name of
an Invisible village behind the French
lines, and said that the Germans had
Information that Gen. Joffre came
there from his headquarters some
days ago and looked the situation
over.
The French artillery Iftfnot confin
ing Its attention to harrowing the
German trenches with sliell and
shrapnel. They are groping more or
less blindly for the cunningly plant
ed German batteries. They are tak
ing no chancea, and art' shelling all
the villages behind the German lines.
I see houses in five villages burning
fiercely, with German re«*rves acting
as firemen.
The French particularly smother
suspicious-looking patches of woods
under a blanket of exploding steel.
One little wood ahead acts like a
magnet for the French shells that
drop at the rate of two a minute till
a smokeApall hangs over the tree
tops. T
Present,^emerges what looks like
a runaway. It Is a team galloping
madly to the rear for more ammuni
tion. Otherwise no traffic is stirring
on the roads in the fire zone. Ex
cept in emergencies, food, ammuni
tion, and reserves go out under the
safer cover of night.
From my lofty observation post it
is easy for even a civilian to grasp
the preponderating part that ammu
nition plays and to understand why
the French selected this particular
point for their attempt to break
through the German lines and why
the Germans are grimly endeavor
ing to stop them at all costs. The
next defensive line is a long way to
the rear.
If the French gain all the hills,
their artillery can sw ( eep the plains
ahead. Such a success would mean*
probably, the loss of Lille, hut. pos
sibly the rolling-up of the whole Ger
man Hue. Hence the titanic struggle.
But the French artillery Is not
having it all its own way. It is the
Mosaic law modernized—an eye for
an eye, a shell for a shell. Wherever
I look in this sector of hell I see
flashes of flame from the mouths of
German guns. A never-ending pro
cession of German shells walls and
shrieks overhead on their way to
ward the French lines, and I can see
them strike home on the Lorette
heights and near Souchez.
The French have a line on one
German mortar battery, but their
shells are dropping Just behind It.
The German artillerists go right on
serving andx^ring with the mechani
cal regularity' pf trained factory
hands. Another German bgttery Is
planted among the gravestones of a
•mall village cemetery the right.

ANOTHER MILITIA TANGLE; .
REORGANIZATION WRONfl
Attortbey General Says Former Offi
cers Can Keep Thetr .Comuts- 7
sions—Backs Bleaae’s Order.
"This being only a reorganization,
of a rearrangement or reassignment
—as you may bi pleraed to term it-
of the rem.-.lning companies of the
militia, I am of the opinion that the
officers of these regiments have not
been removed In accordance with
law, and that they can not be re
moved or mustered out of service
except as is provided by statute so
long as the military companies them
selves remain a part of the organized
militia,” says Thomas H, Peeples, at
torney general, In an exhaustive opin
ion rendered on the reorganization
of the South Carolina National
Guard.
If the opinion of the attorney gen
eral is upheld by the courts, the re
cent elections of militia officers are
vitiated and the former regimental
officers are still in command. Also,
if the opinion is upheld, the procla
mation of Gov. Manning, issued Jan
uary 22, 1915, declaring null and
void the proclamation of former Gov.
Blease mustering the State National
Guard out of service, Is illegal, and
South Carolina has no organized
militia authorized by the statutes.
Military authorities think probably
the opinion of the attorney general
will cause a discontinuance of ‘the
plans for encampments for this year;
for they think that It Is improbable
that the comptroller general will
honor warrants for pay to what
might be an illegally organized mili
tia. Also, they say ‘that the proba
bilities 'are that the United States
disbursing officer, Major J. Shapter
Caldwell, will refuse to pay out gov
ernment funds until the matter Is
finally adjudicated in the courts.
RUSSIANS DRIVEN BACK
INTO OWN TERRITORY
Czar’s Annies Continue to Retreat
Along anO-Mile Front—
Warsaw Threatened.
Driven back over their own fron
tier north of Lemberg and forced to
Cross the River Gnlla Lipa, in south
east Galicia, the Russian armies con
tinue to retreat before the Austro-
Germans along a front of approxi
mately two hundred and fifty miles.
Berlin records progress in virtually
the entire southeastern theatre, al
though violent, fighting still is In
progress beyond the Gnlla Lipa,
which Joins the Dniester at Haltcz.
Having forced a passage of this
stream Gen. von Llnslngen’s army is
presumably astride the railway run
ning Irom Halicz to Lemberg and
Stanlslau. and now doubtless is aim
ing at the line which runs from Lem
berg to Odessa through Tarnopol.
It seems evident that Germany Is
bent on further punishment for the
Russians by the Intensity of their
Galician campaign, but with the Rus
•Ians ucross the frontier, the Ger
mans will have to rely almost solely
on road transport, and their ad
vanees will be slower.
The Itiitish press still voices the
hope that the Russians soon will find
a tenable line and deliver a counter
blow, but there Is a note of anxiety
In nearly all the accounts, together
with the warning that either the cap
ture of Warsaw or the seizure of the
great railway lines which supply It
would he disastrous to Russia, and
surely would be followed by another
general German offensive in the west.
WASHINQTON OFFICIALS
ARE LOOKING FOR PEACE
Questioning Whether Carranza Will
Change His .Mind and Meet
Villa's Agreement.
The activities of prominent Mexi
cans now in the United States and
others in connection with the Mexi
can political situation attracted much
attention in official and diplomatic
circles in Washington Wednesday
and caused renewed discussion of the
possibility of peace in the southern
epubllc.
These activities included the ef
forts of Gen. Felipe Angeles, Villa's
right hand man, to learn the senti
ment of Washington officials toward
the Mexican .situation; a reported
peace move, calling for a conference
between Gens. Villa and Obregon on
the bordpr and the prospective con
ference between Gen. Carranza and
Charles A. Douglas, his Washington
counsel. ; __ •
Mr. Douglas Laa.gpne to Vera Cruz
presumably to impress upon Carranza
the viewpoint of the American gov
ernment as enuciated In a recent
statement by President Wilson that
the heads of the warring factions in
Mexico must settle their differences.
Officials are waiting to see if Gen.
Carranza is willing to change his at
titude toward peace overtures by
Gen. Villa. Carranza heretofore has
consistently declined such offers.
Officials were interested Wednes
day in unofficial reports stating that

had announced tljat Gens. Villa and
Obregon had agreed to discuss terms
of peace, perhaps within two weeks.
Robles was said to have hinted that
the proposed conference was a result
of fears of the leaders of the two fac
tions that the revolution which it was

about to begin, would so complicate
the situation in Mexico that Ameri

CHILLITONE
Facte Not
Malaria known since lime began
and feared by every race of people,
under the sun is one disease Ifedi-
cal Authorities have pronounced the
greatest curse to the human race. It
is a known fact that more people are
affected with Malarial poison than
any other disease. It has been an
established fact now recognized <by
every competent Medical Authority
that Malaria Is a germ disease having
Its origin In the tiny poison germ de
posited In the blood. Gradually the
blood distributes the infection to all
parts of the body, and the disease be
comes a general systemic trouble.
These poisonous 'Malarial germs de
stroy the corpuscles of the circula
tion whose duty it is to furnish nour
ishment and strength to the bodyT
This gradually reduces the blood to
VAeak, watery fluid which is unable to
keep the system in health or to ward
off many diseases that attack it.
The diminishing of these corpus_
cles accounts for the peculiar pale
ness of anemic persons which is
among the first symptoms of Malaria.
Malaria may remain In the system
ior years unsuspected and It may
manifest itself In many ways otber
than Chills and Fever, which is the
common name for Malaria. Many
people never g^t rid pf it because
they do not realize it^As Malaria and
give it the proper treatment.
FEW OF THE MANY SYMPTOMS
OF MALARIA.
General Depression, Exhaustion,
I^oss of Appetite, Indigestion, Chron
ic Constipation, Biliousness, Dizzi
ness, Sick Headache, Dull Feeling in
the Head, Lack of Energy and Ambi
tion, Chills and Fev.jr, with a con
stant "No Account” feeling. You get
up in the -morning with a diszy full
feeling in the head and an unsteady
step. A restless sleep filled with hor
rible dreams has not refreshed you.

WHAT CHILLITONE REALLY
DOES.
, It is the only positive Remedy now
generally recognized for Malaria. It
gets to work, going at once to the
seat of trouble where the poisonous
germs destroy the very vitality of our
being. A treatment to successfully
overcome, the trouble must not only
purify the^blood, the vital fluid, but
at the same time add the necessary
qualities and strength to the circula
tion. Entering directly into the cir
culation, purifying and enriching the
blood and by its gentle and agreeable
action, without griping, upon the,
bowels, stimulating the liver, de I If y° ur druggist can not supply

thing is . tortain, these poisonous |
germs can not remain In the system .
if Chillitone is taken. It is the only,
known remedy now recognized by;
every authority on the disease that •
will accomplish this result. Chills
and Fever quickly disappear, the ap
petite is improved, promotes diges
tion, relieves chronic constipation,
creates new energy and vigor. Until
Chillitone was brought forward as
pre-eminently the only Remedy for
Malaria, quinine in enormous doses
had been looked upon as the only
cure, therefore Chills and Fever was
“easily remedied and quickly ovj^
with. These large doses of quhnnw
affected the vision and hearing that
to attempt to effect a cure by this-
old method was as unbearable as the
disease itself. This old fashion way
is no longer used; the new Chilli tone-
method is now regarded as thft only
positive and successful remedy with
out these evil attending conse
quences. You feel a happy change
after a few doses. You awake from
the dreamless sleep feeling rested
and refreshed and bounce out of bed
full of vim and energy. Breakfast is
a real delight. Every mouthful is
relished and enjoyed. The world Is
all smiles. Everybody Jooks happy
and contented. Your work Is a
pleasure, you feel fine all the time,
and the day passes pleasantly before-
yod know it.
