HOETH OAXHJMA. RETREAT OF GERMANS WAS STEADY ■ UNTIL THEY MADE STAND ON AENE London. — AL account of the opera tion* of the British army in Franc# and the French arm lea In Immediate touch with it during the period from September 10 to 18, written by an of ficer attached to Field Marshal Sir John French's staff, has been Issued by the official preaa bureau. The ao count follows: * Since Thursday, September 10, the British army. In co-operation with the French, made steady progresa In Ita endeavor to drive beck the enemy. The country across which it had to force Its way and over which It will have to fight in the near future Is un dulating and covered with patches of thick wood. "Within the area which faced the British before the advance com menced, right up to Laon, the chief feature of tactical Importance Is that there are six rivers running across the direction of the advance, at all of which It was possible the Germans might make a stand. These are, la order from the south, the Marne, Ourcq, Vesle, Alsne, Allette and Olse. Resl Resistsnce at the Alans. "The enemy held the lines of the Marne, which was crossed by our forces on September 9, as a purely rear guard operation. Our passage of the Ourcq, which here runs almost due east and west, was not contested. The Vesle was only lightly held, while resistance along the Alsne, both against the French and British, has been snd still Is of a determined char acter. "On Friday, September It, little op position was met along any part of our frout and the direction of the ad vance was for the purpose of cooper* sting with our allies turned slightly to the northeast. The day was passed In rushing forward and gathering la various hostile detachments. By night fall our forces had reached a line north of the Ourcq, extending from Oulchy-Le-Chateau to Longpont. Qsnsrsl Advance of French. "On this day there was slso a gen eral advance of the French along their whole line which ended In a substan tial success, in one portion of the Meld Duke Albrecht of Wurtemburg's army bdiiK driven back across the Saulx, and elsewhere the whole of the corps artillery of a German corps being cap tured. Several German colors also w»-re taken. "It was only on this day that the full extent of the victory gained by thf allies on September 8 was appre elated by them and the moral effect of this success has been enormous. "An order dated September 6 and 7 Issued by the commander of the Ger man Seventh corpa waa picked up. It stated that the great object of ths war was about to be attained, since the French were going to accept bat tle, and that upon the result of this battle would depend the Issue of the wit* and the honor of the German ar mies. Qermans Make Heroic Effort. "It seem* probable that the Ger mans not only expected to And that the British srmy was beyond the pow er of assuming the offensive for some time, but counted on the French hav ing been driven back on to the line of the Seine, and that, though sur prised to find (he latter moving for ward againut them ufter they had crossed the Marne, they were In no wise deterred from making a great effort. | "On Saturday, September 12, the en j eniy were found to be occupying a for midable position opposite us on the north of the line at Solssons. They j had both Hides of the river and an entrenched line on the hills to the lWth of the eight road bridges and two railway bridges crossing the Alsne, within.our section of the front. Seven of the former and both of the latter had been demolished. Foes In Artillsry Duel. "Working from the wost to the east, our Third army corps gained some high ground south of the Xlsne, over looking the Aisne valley, to the east of Bolssons. "Here a long range artillery duel between our guns and those of the French on our left and the enemy's artillery on the hills continued dur ing the greater part of the day and did not cease until nearly midnight. The enemy had a large number of heavy howitzers In well concealed po sitions. "The movement of this army corps was effected in co-operation with the French sixth army, on our left, which gained the southern half of the town during the night "The Second army corps did not cross the Alsne. The First army corps got over the river Vesle, to the south of the Aisne, after the crossing had been by the First cavalry division. It then reaohtf a line south of Alsne practically without flxhting. Battle of Bralsne. "At Braisne the first cavalry divi sion met with considerable opposition from Infantry and machine guns hold ing the town and guarding the bridge. With the aid of some of oar Infantry, it gained possession of the town about midday, driving the enemy to the north. Some hundred prisoners were captured around Braisne, where the Germans has thrown a Jarge amount of field gun ammunition into the river, where,it was visible under two feet of water. "On our right the French rehched the line of ..he river Vesle. On this day began an action along the Alsne which la not yet finished, and which may be merely of a rear guard na ture on a large aoaie, or may be the commencement of a battle of a mora serious nature. *lt rained hearily on Saturday aft ernoon and all through the night, which severely handicapped transput "On Bunday, September IS, extreme ly strong resistance was encountered along the whole of our front, which waa some fifteen miles in length. The ao-' tlon still fpnslsted for the most part of long range gun fire, that of the Ger mans being to a great extent from their heavy howitzers, which were fir ing from cleverly concealed poaitlona. "By nightfall portions of all three corps were acroas the river, the cav alry returning to the south side. By tbfa night, or early next 'morning, three pontoon bridges hud been built and our troops also managed to get acrosi the river by means of tha bridge, carrying the canal over the river. "On our left the French pressed on. but were prevented by artillery fire from building a pontoon bridge at Sols sons. A large number of infantry, however, crossed In slugls file the top girder of the railway bridge left stand ing.. Germans Quick ts Surrender. "During the last three or four days many Isolated parties of Oermans have been discovered hiding In nu merous woods a long way behind our line. As a rule they seemed glad to surrender, and the condition of some of them may be gathered from the following incident: "An officer proceeding along the road In charge of a number of led horses received Information that there were some of the enemyMn the neigh borhood. He gave the order to charge, whereupon three German offl cers and 106 men surrendered. "At Senlla Immediately on his ar rival a proclamation waa iasued by the commander of a division. The main points ware that all arma were to be handed In at the town hall at once; that all civilians found with arms would be shot at once; no per son was to be In the street after dark; no lights were to be maintained iu the housea or the streets; the doors of all houses were to be left open and the Inhabitants were not to collect in groups. Any obstruction of the German troops or the threatening of them Immediately would be punish able by death. "At Vlllers Cotterets, the mayor ap pears to have behaved judiciously and though supplies far In excess of the capabilities of the place were demand ed, the town waa not seriously dam aged. "The Germans evacuated the place on September 11 In such haste that they left behind a large amount of the bread requisitioned. "It was stated by the Inhsbltants that the enemy had destroyed and abandoned 15 motor lorries, seven suns snd ammunition wagons. "Reims was occupied by the enemy on September 3. It was occupied by the French after considerable tightlnc on September IS." CORRESPONDENT TELLS OF THE BURNING OF TERMONDE By T. M. KETTLE. International News Service. Termonde.—Here Is the story of the wrecking of Termonde, told by a dozen different inhabitants and con firmed from dozens of other reliable sources. Following the German entry Into the city the commander demanded a levy of 2,000.000 francs. The money was not In the public treasury, and the burgomaster was not there to save his town as Hraun saved Ghent. General Sommerfeld had a chair brought from the inn Into the center of the grand palace. He sat down on It, crossed his legs and said: "It Is our duty to bum this town." The Inhabitants were allowed two hours to clear out and then the sol diers went to work. Use Portable Caissons. Their apparatus consisted of a small portable pressure caisson filled with benzine and fitted with a spray. Other witnesses said that there also were great talssons on wheels. With this they sprinkled the floors and ground stories of the houses and fire to the buildings. Others used a sort of phosphorus paste with which they smeared the objeot to be de stroyed. They completed their work by flinging hand grenades and pre pared fuses into the infant flames. Remembering Louraln, General Sommerfeld had evidently given di rections that the publio and monu mental buildings were to be spared. Thus the museum and the city hall both remain standing, but right be tween them his petroleurs destroyed a hotel. A Pillaged Everything. General Sommerfeld's soldiers stole, pillaged and drank everything on which they could lay their hands. Witnesses on this point are many and unshakable. Their moderation must impress anybody who talks to them. A citizen of Termonde, who him self had been held as hostage, said to me while standing amid the ruins of his town: - "Monsieur, there Is human nature among the Germans. I saw many officers in tears. A German lieuten ant came and shook me by the haa4 crying, 'lt Is not oar fault'" Rub-No-More is the slogan, of the up-to-date woman.

Various suggestions have been made In regard to the steps to b« taken by farmer* In reference to the shortage of Potash In their fertilisers, caused by the greatly reduced shipments of Potash from| Germany since the Aral of August. Most of the Fertiliser Com panies bare endeavored to make tbe Potash on hand go as far a* possible by selling for the present brands of complete fertilisers containing only or 3 per cent of Potash and withhold ing from aale brands containing larger amounts. The suggestion,that some or all at the Potaah be replaced by phosphorle acid is absurd, for every schoolboy knows tbat qne plant food cannot take the place of another. There are some indirect fertilisers, such as lime, gyp sum and salt that can release a limit ed amount of Potash from some soils that contain hydrated silicates of Ala mlna and Potash. But if these soils . have already been treated with lime or have received repeated dressinga of the usual forms of fertilizer con taining soluble phosphate with Its ac companying gypsum, then the Potaah In the hydrated silicates has to a large extent already been replaced and the use of more lime or gypsum or salt could not be expected to release murh additional Potash. Ground limestone or oyster ahells act too slowly to be used as Potash releasers. The residue of soda left in the soil by nitrats of soda Is more effective la releasing Potash than Is gypsum and hence goods. In which the nitrogen la largely In the form of nitrate of soda, may have a special value In the pres ent emergency. It la often stated that decaying or ganic matter release* Potash from the soil, but there seems to be no direct evidence of this. On the contrary. Dr. 8. Peacock states In the American Fertilizer of Sept. 5, 1914, "Several thoroughly competent researches have shown that decaying organic matter has little effect on converting inert mineral plant food In the soil into available form." In any soli the amount of Potaah capable of being released by tliese in direct meana is a very small fraction of the total Potash In the soil, moat of which exists In a form aboutyaa soluble as window glass. There Is no known profitable method for render ing this ln6rt Potash of the soil avail able fast enough to provide for profit able crops. Whatever temporary ex pedients we may employ In the pres ent emergency, we must keep in mind that the Potash thus removed from the semi-available soil reserves must later be replaced If we are to main tain the soll'a productiveness. There is danger in the statement that farmers have been using an ex cess of Potash. Crops use on the av erage about two and one-half times aa much Potash aa phosphoric acid, while the average fertiliser- sold contains only half as much Potaah as phos phoric acid; yet no one claim* that we are using too much phssphorls acid. The Potash remaining from ips vlous fertilisation Is practically noth ing except In the limited areas whers a ton or more of fertiliser has been used per acre on truck crops. Very rarely Is half as much Potash applied to the wheat, oats, corn or cotton crop as the crop removes. ' The Potash mines are ao numerous and the stocks on hand so large that lupplies can be promptly sent tor ward, aa soon sa European conditions permit freight shipments to be re sumed.
