HOME EDITION VOLUME XIX, No. 243 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 Say They’ll Kill 1,000 Japs Germans Mining Waters 'Around Kiachow and Await ing Shelling of Warships 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 every day from the Tsing-Tau forti fications cruising back; and forth be yond the range of the German guns. Only men clad in khaki are per mitted in the fortifications. White clothing is barred because it is con spicuous. The Gurmans are continu ing with energy their preparations against attack by land. Mines are be ing placed and provided with electri cal connections and guns are being 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 Arrive 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.

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.
