RUSHED T0 THE WOUNDED TELL OF THE AWFUL FIGHTING. Frenchman Says the Bosches Looked Like Big Gray Carpet Being Ung rolled Over Country -- Mitrail- leuses Toppled Over Whole Rows. Paris, March 4.--Accounts that reach Paris from Bar-le-Du¢, Chal- ons and other' junction points, to which most of the Verdun wounded have been taken, make it clear that the French soldiers have retained complete confidence, despite the ex- traordinary fury of the bombardment which all agree far surpassed any. thing ever known before on this front. An auxiliary surgeon, who has just returned from Bar-le-Duc, says: ' "It is & pity that a neutral ob- server is not able to compare our wounded with the German prisoners, taken after the Champagne bom- bardment. Even when unhurt, the latter were utterly dazed. The ma- jority 'could not speak coherently, but just managed to babble words of terror or relief at their escape. "Ours naturally feel the shock, but show it rather in excitement or fever than 'in lowered morale. Their eyes show that each is eager to describe his part in what all declare a victory.

They had come from Serbia after six weeks' rest. They were very different from the confident group I saw after the Marne. They looked ried cin 'beaten. One youth I interrogated talked French well.

"One youngster of the class of 1914 who has a broken arm, is quoted as ng: "They told us the Boches had 400, 000 picked men apd 2,000 guns. I can well believe it, but they have lost more than a third 6f the former at least. . "As for the cannonade, it was a regular deluge.

Then my arm was hit, so I wes forced to go." { An officer, wounded in a counter- | attack yesterday monping, is also | quoted by the surgeons as saying | that the attacks on Douaumont vil- lage on Monday night were repeated eight times before the Germans final- ly abahdoned the reduced to about 2,000 men. He said the Ger- mans had ceased to make serid mass assaults since Monday morning, the clearest proof of their unsupportable losses. Three sappers had a remarkable mine in the Vauche Wood with an electric battery further south. They were buried in the miine gallery by a shell and waited hours until the mine exploded. Then they dug their way out through the mine 'crater. One of them despaired during the work of digging, but the others rea- lized that they were near the sur- face by the blood percolating through the subsoil. Finally they emerged, cutting the way through the debris, hundreds of Gprmans filling the hollow. | GREEKS PRO-ALLY, SAYS THEIR KING. Never Otherwise, But Pinpricks of French and British Were Irritating. March 4.--THe King hon th an audience to-day. As to see he received me in his or vate den. Here the hard-working Grek mobarch passes meny hours of toil. The eight-hour day in the Royal study in Athens is more hon- ored in the breach than in the obser- vance, for the royal working day is more frequently twelve or fourteen hours long. i The current rumors concerning the state of the King's health, I discov- Athens, ored-me ered to be unfounded. His Majesty was simply suffering from an attack of lumbago, which he hoped would | soon disappear. ¢ : The King told me that he was frankly amused at some of the fan- tastic legends concerning Greece and its sovereign, which had found easy] circulation in a section of the Eu- TOpean press. "What a weighty scrapbook I could ill." said His Ma- Jesty, "with the things I never said and equally with the action attribut- j ed to me which I never did and have | no intention of doing. I laugh often ; when I hear or read of unreal things said about me in the foreign press. 'What a wealth of imagination stands thus revealed on the part of the authors of these canards. One would imagine", said the King, with an air of * waggishness, writing ebout 1 some remote, little- ! yet Athens is not ve London and Paris." We touched upon other topics, in- 'cluding the thorny one of Salonika. "Yes", said the King, "I think it an excellent thing for everybody con- cerned that General Sarrail came to 'see me. Perhaps he did not find ry far away from a personage as he had been led to! expect. No doubt", continued His eye, "he anticipated finding a sort of human ogre in a cage who lived on a daily diet of Entente Ambassa- dors, cooked in a speeial brand of pro-German sauce. "But, in all seriousness," the King went on, "I was gud to speak with General Sarrail and listen to his ex- 'planation of certain military opera- tions on the Salonikan front.
