THE CARNAGE Of WAR Story of a Survivor of the Bat tle of Gravelotte. INTO THE JAWS OF DEATH. An Advance Under Fire From Behind Barricades That Literally Mowed Down the Charging Troops— A Hand to Hand Conflict In the Streets. William Guldner, a survivor of the battle of Gravelotte, the most hard fought victory of the Franco-Prusslan war, fells in Harper's Magazine how he saw the victory as color bearer of his regiment: “It must have been, I think, about 4 o’clock when Colonel von Boebn rode to the head of the regiment, and we all straightened quick, as ou parade. And fie said sharp a few words, something like, ‘Men, the regiment has a good name, and you will give it a still bet ter one.’ I was in front and could bear part of what he said. “The colonel led us to the left, and we crossed a railroad truck and went through another little white village, and then we faced a slope—a long slope —with a village on It, which the French hnd made into a fort, and we, our regiment and others, were to cap ture it, and there were many French men and cannon there. “The colonel rode on a horse, he and the majors and the adjutants. Our captains usually rode, too, but this day the captains sent their horses hack and went on foot. “And soou our first men began to fall, for we caine under the fire of the chassepot. It was hard, for we could not see the enemy. These first ones were many sharpshooters lu a ditch, and the noise of their firing was like that of a coffee mill—kr-r-r-r-r-r! They drew off as we went forward. It was only at a walk that we wont—a steady walk, just as if there were no bullets there. “Aud now we would run forward fifty yards and throw ourselves flat, then another fifty yards and the halt and the falling flat, aud each time we could see the village that was a for tress nearer. “And once when we were lying down and I saw that the officers were stand ing, Just cool and quiet, it came to me that a man has to pay in such ways to be an officer. “I saw the colonel fall. He was shot from his horse and carried hack. “Xbe first major, he took command. land lie galloped’ to the skirmish line, and ho was shot. Then (ho second major, too, was shot, and he tried to i get up, but he could not stand, and he sat on a big stoue and shouted: ‘Go on! Go on!’ And he took a gun from a dead man and fired It. | “We were ordered to fix bayonets, and that made us glad, but even yet the men carried their rifles on their shoulders as they ran. We wore not near enough to charge with bayonets. “I wish I could tell you what ft was like as we got near that village of St. Prlvnt —the noise, the smoke, the flashes, the falling men and only one desire in our hearts. “There were three sergeants iu the color section, one at each side of me. And first the one at my right was killed. Then the one at my left was shot—eight big bullets In his body from a mitrailleuse—eight! Yet ho aft erward got well, while many a man died from only one little bullet. "And at last we went at a bayonet charge, and for the first time there was a cheer, a wild and savage cheer, nDd we ran on, eager to plunge the bayonets, and we could see as we came near the village that the French were firing from behind barricades and gar den walls and from windows. “And we looked Into the wild faces of the French, and they met us hand to hand. Ah, we climbed over walls and barricades, and we fired and bay oneted, and we fought them In the streets! “On and on we went. It was a wild time of shooting, bayoneting, wres tling, clubbing, shouting. On and on, hut it was slow work and terrible, for the French fought for every step. “I was at the front, for 1 had the colors. There were a few officers still left, and they were shouting and wav ing their swords, and other regiments stormed Into the village with us, and after awhile—l can’t say how long— the place was ours. “As I tell It to you It seems perhaps a simple thing. Ilut when the regi ment was paraded before the battle began we were more than 2,000 men and more than fifty officers, aud we lost In the fight forty officers and more than -a thousand men. Yes, that was the loss of just my regiment alone. It was morderisch, but It was neces sary. “Well, it was over. The village was blazing, and many a dead man lay In the ruiDS. Some sat upright, dead, with their backs against walls.” The chief trouble with ideals its th -v won’t pay any grocery bills.
