SHEET BE FLAME CAME
AT MONS AT DAYLIGHT,
AND BRITONS FELL BACK
End of Battle Came Unexpectedly—Trenches Shelled, Hail of
Bullets Was Withering Before Order Came to Retire
London, 2:40 a. m.—Sergeant Loftus,
writing to his brother in England of
the battle of Mons, says:
“It came unexpectedly, at a timo
when we had given up hope of seeing
any Germans. Just after reveille our
cavalry picket fell back reporting the
approach of the enemy in force.
"We lay in trenches as our artillery
opened on them in fine style and soon
thev returned the compliment. After
about half an hour their infantry came
into view. They were in a solid square
standing out sharply against the sky
line. You couldn't help hitting them.
“We lay in our trenches without a
sound and they crept nearer and near
er. Then our officers gave the word,
a sheet of flame flickered along the
trenches and a stream of bullets tore
through the advancing mass. They
seemed to stagger like a drunken man
suddenly hit between the eyes, and
then they made a run at us. Half
way across the open another volley
tore through their ranks.
Artillery Fire.
“Bv this time our artillery began
dropping shells among them and then
they broke into open formation, rush
ing like mad toward the trenches. On
our left the Germans fell back in con

Tsing-Tau Kiaochow, 12 nooti.—One
of the forts threw a shell across the
entrance of the bay yesterday after
noon at a small party of Japanese or
Chinese that had landed on Caoe,
Jaeschke. The'Tanding party depart
ed immediately. Its mission was not
known.
Six Japanese warships may be seen

Only men clad in khaki are per

against attack by land. Mines are be

brought into position. The Germans
declare that every day allowed them
for preparation means that they will
be able to inflict casualties on the
Japanese of not less than 1,000 men.
The roads within Kiaochow are in
excellent condition and motor cars are
proving of great value.
LESTIffiNS
THAN ESTIMATED
Paris, 12:24 p. m.—Only 200 Americans
were ready to take the special train
wfhtch left Geneva for Paris yesterday.
Other specials will be run Sunday and
Monday, but it appears that the number
of Americans in the country is less than
had been estimated.
The Americans have been arriving at
Paris on the regular trains at the rate
of from 150 to 200 a day during the laßt
ten days. The Hotel Men's Association,
by agreement, has given the refugees ac
commodations at the beßt hotels for sl-40
a day. The military administration has
provided vans to transfer the baggage
of the travelers which is not examined
if It comes under the conduct of the Am
erican embassy. Also for those vouched
for by the embassy, no passports are re
quired and all the usual conditions for
traveling are waived.
Secret Diplomacy is
Denounced By the
British Press
London, 4:10 a. m.—The Daily News
In an editorial denouncing secret di
plomacy,’says:
Can ever again tolerate the
appalling peril of secret diplomacy?
('tin we ever again play about on the
deck with sails and compasses, mak
ing our little laws and imagining
that we are self-governing whllo
down In the hold of our ship of state
there is a powder magazine, the very
existence of which we are not per
mitted to know?
"Secret diplomacy belong* to the
traditions of autocratic an/ personal
government. It has no putce In a
democratic world and the example of
the United States must become the
model of the civilized world on this
vital matter If Europe Is to be free
from menace in the future."
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
fusion and lay down wherever cover
was available. We gave them no rest
and soon they were again in flight.
"Then came more shelling of our
trenches and another rush across the
open on our front. This time they
were strongly supported by cavalry,
who suffered terribly but came up to
our lines.
"We received them In the good old
way, the front ranks with the bayonet
and the rear ranks keeping up an in
cessant fire and after a hard tussle
they retired hastily. Just as they
theught themselves safe our mounted
men swooped down on them, cutting
right and left.
Went to Sleep.
"This sort of thing went on through
the whole day without bringing the
Germans any nearer to shifting us.
"After the last attack we lay down
to sleep in our clothes but before sun
rise we were told to abandon our po
sitions. Nobody knew why we had to
but we obeyed without a murmur.
“The enemy’s cavalry, evidently mis
understanding our action, came down
on us again in force but our men be
haved very well and th» Germans gave
it up as a bad job.”
1,762 More
Americans

The Adriatic With Part Holes
Blanketed and Lights Out
Steals Into New York Today
New York.—With six-inch guns
mounted fore and aft, with every port
hole blanketed and all lights extin
guished the White Star liner Adriatic
crept into port in the darkness early
today. She lifftt abo-id •/: 62 passen
gers, nearly all Americans.
It is said the vessel will go at once
to Halifax to help carry Canadian vol
unteers across the sea.
The Adriatic’s batteries consist of
four six-inch rifles placed in position
at Liverpool. Only once on .he trip
across the Atlantic did her officers
sight a vessel which caused uneasi
ness. This was on August 27th and
the xessel was later found to be the
French liner France. The France ap
parently suspicious, too, sheered off
when she saw the Adriatic.
Whether the Adriatic’s armament
brings her within the classification of
an auxiliary cruiser was a question
Collector Malone asked Secretary Mc-
Adoo, his superior at Washington, to
determine today. UncPr neutrality
regulations the Adriatic must leave
within 24 hours or remain here till the
close of the war if she is an auxiliary
cruiser.
Cruisers Waiting.
New York.—British cruisers still
maintain strict watch outside the har
bor, according to tales brought to port
by officers of arriving vessels.
The steamer Bayamo from Havana
was spoken at 8 o’clock last night off
Winter Quarter Shoal by a British
eraser which steamed round the ves
sel making a complete circle. This
morning the Bayamo was spoken by
the British cruiser Essex. The Nor
wegian steamer Regin, from Sydney,
N. S., also was spoken by the Essex
Just outside the three mile limit. The
Bayamo’s captain said he saw a
French cruiser in the distance when
the Essex hailed him.
White Star Line officals claimed
the Adriatic is not subject to regula
tions governing warships. They said
they had a ruling from Washington
In their favor.
Olympic Arrives.
New York. —The White Star liner
Olympic also arrived today with 1,762
passengers from Europe.
Vessels of several nations accepted
the risks of war by sailing for Eu
ropo. The Cunarder Pannania depart
ed for Liverpool with a full cargo but
no passengers. The Russlan-Amerl
can steamship Dwlnsk, whose sailing
date had been previously postponed
on advices from the home office In
Libau, took on board 1 200 passen
gers, of whom all but 100 were In the
steerage to sail for Archangel.
All the steerage passengers were
Russians, many of them presumably
called home to the colors.
400 Americans From
Switzerland Today
London, 2: 12 p. m.—Four hundred
American* from Switzerland arrived
In London today. They came from
Paris by way of Boulogne. Their ar
rival is regarded as evidence against
the rumor that the Germans have cut
the line of railroad communication
between Paris and Boulogne.
The foregoing dispatch was sent
from London at 2:12 this afternoon.
The announcement from Paris that
train service between Paris and Bou
logne had been suspended was sent
out at 1 p. m. It is possible that the
announcement has not yet been re
ceived In London.
