A Million on the Move. On Sunday afternoon fighting was resumed along the whole line. The German vanguard by this time had been supported by a fresh army corps, which had - been brought from Bel gium. - . At least 1,000,000 men were on the move, pressing upon the allied forces with a ferocity of attack which has never before been equaled. Their cavalry swept across a great tract of country, squadron by squadron, like the mounted hordes jof Attila, but armed with the dreadful ' weapons of modern warfare. Their artillery was In enormous numbers and their columns advanced under cover of it not like an army, but rather like a moving nation I do not think, however, with equal pres sure at all parts of the line. It formed itself into- a battering ram with a pointed end and this was thrust at the heart of the English wing. Impossible to Resist. It was impossible to resist this on slaught. If the British forces had? stood against it they would have been crushed and broken. Our gunners were magnificent and shelled the. ad vancing German columns so that the dead lay heaped up along the-way which was leading down to Paris; but as one of them told me: , "It made no manner of difference. As soon as We had smashed One lot another followed, column after column, and by sheer weight of numbers. We could do nothing to check them." After this the British forces fell back, fighting all the time. The line of the allies was in the shape of a V"; the Germans thrust their main attack deep into the angle. This position- remained the same until Mon day, or rather had completed itself by that date, the retirement of the troops being maintained , with masterly skill and without undue haste. River Choked With Dead. Meanwhile General Pau was sustain ing a terrific attack on the French cen ter by the German left center, which culminated on (date omitted). The River Oise, which' runs between beau tiful meadows, was choked with corpses and red with' blood. - From an. eye witness of this great battle, ast officer of an Infantry, regi- anentwhcl espafied vrtthi slight wound. ft learned that .the German onslaught had, been repelled by a series of bril liant bayonet and cavalry charges. . The Germans," he said, "had the elite of their: army engaged against lis, including the Tenth army corps and he Imperial guard, but the hero ism of our troops was sublime. Every man knew that the safety of Francs depended upon him and was ready to sacrifice his life. If need be, with joy ful enthusiasm. Gave Great Punishment "They not only resisted the enemy's attack, but took the offensive, and, in spite of their overpowering numbers, gave them ' tremendous punishment They had to recoil before our guns. "Hundreds of them were bayoneted and hundreds were hurled into the river. The whole field of battle was outlined' by dead and dying men whom they had. to abandon.. Certainly their losses were- enormous, and I felt that the German retreat was inull Bwing and that jwe could claim a real victory for the time heing." , v . . Pau Compelled to Yield. . Nevertheless the inevitable happened,-owing to the vast reserves of the enemy, who brought up, four divi sions; and General Pau was compelled to give ground. ' ' On Tuesday German skirmishers with light artillery were coining south ward, .and .the sound of their field gun,8 greeted my ears. Presently 1 saVw the' figure of a French dragoon, with hia carbine slung behind his back; He was standing by the side of a number of gunpowder- hags. A little farther away. were little groups of sol diers at work by two bridges,, one over a stream and one oyer a road. , They were working very calmly and I could see what they were doing. They were mining the bridges to blow them up at a given signal. 5 . , , As I went farther I bsw the streets were strewn with broken bottles and littered with wire entanglements, art fully and carefully made.- Trap for German Army. It was obvious that there was very grim business being done and that the soldiers were waiting, for something to happen, At the railway station I quick ly learned the truth: The Germans! were only a few miles hwtfy in "great force. At any moment they might come down, smashing everything in their way. " f V The station master, a brave old type, and. one or two porters, had demand ed to stay on to the last. -We are here" he said, as though the Germans would have, to reckon with him, but he was emphatic' In his request for me to leave at once If an other train could be got away,- which was very uncertain.

They had fought the hardest of all ao- tions the retirement from the fight ing line but they had absolute faith in the ultimate success of the allied arms. . f ' ' Germans Are Reckless. ' f London. A Chronicle correspondent writing from- an unarmed .town says -"The Germans are ' displaying, ex traordinary recklessness, flinging away thousands of lives in the hope of ulti mately gaining their end.. No doubt the rapid advance of the Russians in -eastern Prussia has something to:-do with this, and is responsible for the frantic and insane haste which char acterizes the German attempt in north' ern France to smash the thin khaki line which so valiantly bars the 'road toward Compeigne, Solssons and.

"FresMy arrived troops from Eng land, who had been pushed forward, arrived in time to participate in the battle. These British re-enforcements had been carrying out strategic move ments in troops trains for several days." and in the expressive phraseol ogy of Tommy Atkins, 'they were fed up with the whole thing' and were all eagerness for a brush with the enemy. Their chance came yesterday. Many were reserves witn aoutn Aincan ex- perience, and they marched to . the front "cheering the French and growl ing for 'William the Weed, somehow confusing the emperor with William (of Wied) of Albania..
