London, Sept. 22.-The terror of warfare in fighting with long- re guns and facing fire from an in- h enemy, in vividly described by ly of the wounded who have reach- ed here. A lance corporal of Uon- ht . Rangers, to-day, told of he was with being in line of battle for three days before they saw p Germans. "Ihe disconcerting in the present fighting, with B weapons, is that you may be in action for hours without seeing the ¥,"" said the corporal. "Une day lay for ten hours in the trenches shells dropping about us like We could see pulls of smoke ' the horizon and hear the con- tant roar of the guns, but that was all, Only when you get a bullet in the arm or leg did you realize that you were really in battle: Though we Ware under fire comstantly it was 'Whole * days before we actually #eb éyes on the Germans. After that was plenty of hand-to-hand ting." lhe corporal commented on the ut- ter disregard German officers feel for the loss of men. He said that the Germans advanced (in close formation against one position from which the British had intended to withdraw je- cause it was dominated by the Ger- man battery that could not be lacat: ed: 'The inlantry came forward with British guns opening great holes in the ranks, and Red Cross men said ~ they picked up 1,600 dead and wo Germans in front of the posi tion. 'The British loss did not exceed twenty. "I have seen our cavalry thrown into confusion," said the cor- poral, "merely because the horses - shied at heaps of the dead they had to tread over when attempts were made to clear' our front of the ad- yanciog Germans." ~ > Skirmishing In Belgium.

While she was cutting it, she remarked to the purchaser that she wished this was the necks 6f Eng- lishmen. Without giving her any warning, the high spirited English lady grabbed up the loaf of bread and let it go full force between the eyes of the old German frau The English lady walked out and told the experience that she . had, Then there was tumult galore. A mobe entered the store, and kicked and smashed things about lively. Everything was wrecked. On another occasion a German merchant hoisted the German flag It had not fluttered.

Few Ciizens Were, Killed, af the People Could Find Satéty There --Church of St. Remi Badly Dam- aged. London, Sept. 21--The News cor- respondent, who viewed the fighting from the Rheims cathedral tower, says: 2 "Directly the shells began to hit tthe cathedral in the morning, some German wounded were brought in from the-hespital near by and laid on straw in the nave, while Abbe And- rieux and a Red Cross sister pluck- 8 ily went up to the tower and hung out two Geneva flags. "I believe a shell which hit the buiding while I was there was a stray shot, for the German gunners could "hardly miss so huge a mass, towering, as it doe¥, above the town, if they willingly wished to reach it.

"Once one of them, screaming abominably, crashed through the transept roof of the other end of the cathedral. I shall never forget the note -of horrified surprise and indig- nation that burst from the old sac- ristan as a shell smashed a hole ina tall house close before our eyes. 'That's my house!' he shouted, as if for the German gunners three miles away to hear his protest. Then his voice dropped to a key of bitter grief. 'Ah, the misery of it!" was all he said, and his face remained unmoved for none of the little group of priests and cathedral officials showed either fear or emotion. "*You must had three days of this, them. "The chureh of St. Remi, the most ancient ecclesiastical building in Rheims, received two shells, and all the west rose window was blown out.

A shell had fallen on a railway embankment close by and killed a man, a refugee. It was mis- erable enough; what must .it have been for those wretched, homeless refugees, whose burned-out cottages we passed' for mrile after mile of blackened, ruined and forsaken countryside?" The cathedral of Notre Dame at Rheims is one of the finest exam- ples of early Gothic. It was founded in 1211, and the choir, transepts, part of the nave and the west facade all date from the thirteenth century. The western towers were added in the following century, and the bel- fry was built in 1485. Among 'the principal features are the rose win- dow, the north portal, the thirteen- th century upper windows, and the treasury. The church of St. Remi is the successor of a structure erected in the sixth eentury, which was rebuilt in the- eleventh and twelfth gentur- fes, partly In the Romanesque and partly in the early Gothic styles. Ad- ditions and restorations were made in 1506, and at various times during the nineteenth century. It contains the tomb of St. Remi, which has been several times restored.
