Battle of Marne Brought

(Correspondent of the Associated

BERLIN. Oct. 15. —Carl Diem
general secretary for the Olympic
games who as earlier cabled was
wounded in the fighting before Parts
has sent to the LokaJ Anzeiger from
the hospital the following letter de-
scribing a night attack by troops of
the guard corps:
"After the battles near the village
of Voulpaix August 29 and 30 our
regiment had a rest day. then
marched its 30 miles September 1
and the same distance September 1
The third day we seemed to have
caught the enemy and were
antly on the move until late at night
deploying and taking up various po-
sitions. We failed to catch him.
however and made camp disappoint-
ed and utterly exhausted. The long
desired field kitchens our goulash
cannon’ as the soldiers name them
had just appeared steaming dell-
ciously when we got word that tne
enemy had occupied the village of
Marsaux. a few miles away and en-
trenched. Several companies of our
regiment were told off for the as-
sault some against the village oth-
ers for a flanking attack. Daylight
had long vanished when we marched
out.
With Unloaded Rifles.
“•Unload rifles!' was the first
command. Not a pleasant command
for the infantrymen —to take the
cartridges INTO his beloved rifle now
of no more use to him than a feath-
er until he gets breast to breast with
the enemy. But what is the use
orders are orders and in night fight-
ing this order is particularly called
for if comrade is not to shoot com-
rade and the cartridges rattle from
his magazine.
"We inarch out through the still
September night the moon lighting
our way but lighting us as well.
"We leap a couple of ditches burst
through the hedges ar w q fences and
labor up the steep slope of a plough-
ed field the companies moving for-
ward" in complete silence. Suddenly
when we are about a hundred yards
from the brow of the hill it rains
bullets most of them lustily going
high. The field fairly seems to spew-
rifle balls. The tension is slackened.
No command is needed; there is the
enemy. Bayonets are fixed and the
platoons deployed In an instant and
with a ’hurrah’ the men charge for-
ward against the enemy. These dis-
appear however falling back on the
real position the village itself. It
is 400 yards away the charge takes
from our overtaxed lungs every last
atom of breath. •
Spraying land «»d Fire
"The silhouette of the village
stands out dark before us and its
walls spray out lead and fire. The
church spire spits out sparks like a
fireworks display piece Long streams
of fire playing from every aperture
and around our ears whistles and
whizzes the hail of steel We trip
over an unsuspected wire splash
headlong Into a ditch full of water
climb the church yard wall. House
after house Is taken with the bayo-
net house after house bursts into
flames. then pursuit continues
through the village and for several
miles beyond It is almost dawn be-
fore the exhausted troops come to
rest and fling themselves down to
sleep rifle in hand and without
troubling themselves to unsling
their heavy packs from their backs.
Such a charge with empty rifle such
a German hurrah the enemy cannot
stand against cannot themselves re-
produce.
"How often have I laughed to my-
self at the youngest of our officers
when he delivered his naive lectures
|to the men and wondered what re-
I spect his platoon of reservists grown
imen five to seven years his senior
I would have in real battle for his
■twenty Irresponsible years. In the
i battle on the Marne the bloodiest
of the war to date I lay wounded
among comrades whose voices were
already still and watched his plat-
oon go into action on the left flank.
A line of French trenches spit fire
from machine guns rifles and ar-
tillery and against it our men charg-
ed forward to certain depth. At their
head our youngster lieutenant
laughing as usual led the way In

Here Is Good News
For Stomach Victims
Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach
liver and Intestinal troubles with
pure vegetable oils which exert a
cleansing soothing and purlfjing
action upon the lower bowels re-
moving the obstructions of poison-
ous fecal matter and gases and pre-
venting their absorption by the
blood. This done the food is allowed
free passage from the stomach fer-
mentation ceases and stomach trou-
bles quickly disappear.
George H. Mayr for twenty years
a leading Chicago druggist cured
himself and many of his friends of
stomach liver and intestinal trou-
bles of years’ standing by this treat-
ment and so successful was the
remedy he devised that it has since
been placed in the hands of drug-
gists all over the country who have
sold thousands of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless the
effect of the medicine is sufficient
to convince any one of its remarka-
ble effectiveness and within 24
hours the sufferer feels like a new
person. Mayr's Wonderful Stomach
remedy is now sold here by Som-
mers Drug Stores.

Won Love of His Men.
•'Our next youngest lieutenant was
unpopular owing to his biting scath-
ing tongue always rasping the sen-
sibilities of the men. And yet we
all came to love him. Once when we
seemed to be sitting *in a gigantic
cornpopper of artillery hail against
which no umbrella could protect
this tongue of his usually so scath-
ing. kept us in roars of laughter
while old Brother Break-Bones
swung h’s iron flail above our

Marne lying still and white beneath
the pines.
"The third officer a reserve offi-
cer was hi? exact opposite. He rare-
ly had a word to say and silent as
usual on that day at Voulpaix when
we couldn’t make out whence the
enemy’s fire was coming he stood
erect upon a wall in the full fire.
We pulled him down with a broken
leg. but not before he had pointed
out to us the enemy.
"The eldest of our lieutenants was
also a reserve officer. He know

fore we marched out he helped the
inexperienced to make their wills.
He too was ready. I am sure when
on that bloody sixth of September
his life went out like so many others.
"And our captain with the gold-
en. honest heart and the celebrated
name—he knew every one of the 270
men entrusted <o him. the circum-
stances and the duty for which every
individual was fitted. Never during
the entire campaign have we run
out of bread and every day with
very few exceptions we had our
two warm meals. For that we had to
thank his unwearying care. And
when we had our baptism of fire
from the artillery—we lay unpro-

calmly puffing at hi s pipe and stak-
ing his life for no other purpose than
to give us courage. For him too.
was the battle on the Marne his last
day. His own leg broken and with
a gaping wound in his breast he
bound up up the head of the bugler

was buried the next day. Tears are
not often shed in the field but his
little hillock was damp."

made in an address before the In-

here today by Thomas Cooper direc-
ts of the South Dakota experiment
station.
"The difference between the suc-
cessful and ’unsuccessful farm is
largely a question of applied ef-
fldency ir. production and organiza-
tion of tne farm business." he said.
’'Estimates indicate that the aver-
age farmer in this country receives
4 5 to 55 cents from each dollar ex-
pended by the consumer" he con-
tinued "while farmers in nvist Euro-
pean countries receive 60 to 65 cents.
"An investigation in Indiana Illi-
nois and lowa showed that one farm-
er out of every twenty-two received
a labor Income /of more than $2OOO
