HOW GERMAN INVASION
SPREAD OUT LIKE HUGE
FAN IN BELGIUM, FRANCE
Heavily Censored Story Gives German Point of View. French
Scattered in Great Disorder, Leaving Dead Unburied, Says
Account
London, 7 a. m.—A correspondent of
The Associated Press who has been
through Belgium, sends from Rotter
dam this story, heavily censored
throughout but apparently an account
of the invasion of Belgium obtained
from a German point of view:
“From Brussels the German army
poured over southern Belgium into
France like a flood tide, spreading
like a fan in the directions of Beau
mont, Maubeuge, Mens and Lille,
joining in the south of Belgium with
other army corps proceeding from
Gembloux, Dinent and Givet.
“Then went over the French border
without serious resistance, the French
scattering before them in great dis
order, leaving behind much war ma
terial, their retreat extending as far
as the forest of Mormal in northern
* ranee.
50,000 Loss.
J “Several rear guard actions occur
red, resulting in considerable losses
to both sides and bringing up the
losses of the Germans in Belgium to
about 50,000.
“From the Binche country south
ward in the direction of Maubeuge in
numerable skirmishes occurred from
August 23rd to August 26th. The
French retreated to Bonne Esperante,
where after another skirmish they
fell back through Merbes, Saint Marie
and Merbes-le-Chateau, 10,000 English
retiring to Joumount at the same time.
“Engagements in the vicinity of
Buissierre and Thuin constituted the
most determined resistance offered by
the allies. After two days continu
ous artillery duel, which swept the
surrounding country and demolished
almost every structure the entire right
wing of the allies withdrew fay to the
southward. This gave the Germans
an opportunity to sweep through
Beaumont and approach Maubeuge
from the south.
DEMONSTRABLY
FALSE, SAY
* mm
Statement Made at Embassy
in Washington Regarding
Stories Emanating From Ger
man Sources
Washington, D. C.—German statements
that snipers had been organized by the
French two months before the war. were
denounced last nlprht at the French em
bassy as ‘demonstratably false.” Sev
eral other German statements were de
nied in the statement, which said:
“The news from Berlin yesterday an
nounced that Maubeuge had been taken
with four generals. 400 guns 40,000 men.
The capture remains unconfirmed. Forty
thousand men could not in any case
have been made prisoners for the gar
rison is less than 20,000.
Alleged Bomb Dropping.
“The alleged numbers are on a par
with the news of the French aeroplane
having dropped bombs on Nuremburg.
and with that of snipers having been
organized ‘two months before the war.*
If they had been, some trace of them
would probably hve been found since,
and none his. The truth is that neither
before nor after Germany declared war
on France was any such corps organized.
And since every Frenchman able to bear
arms is called, as a regular, to the col
ors. one can scarcely imagine what those
crop* would have been made of.
It It False.
“The statement is -cmonstratably
false.”
The embassy has been notified by the
French government in response to an
inquiry about the destruction of historic
buildings in Louvain that, while the Ho
tel De Ville was not destroyed by fire,
the scaffolding surorunding the building
for purpose of repair was burned.

“Meanwhile the other corps had ap

entirely investing the fortress. The
English and French were on August
23rd driven across the Sambre River,
where on the south bank of the river
in a 30 miles front fighting continued
for three days.
“The correspondent first saw actual
firing in the direction of Maubeuge on
August 26th when white puffs of the
German shrapnel clouded the horizon,
but the forward movement of the Ger
man columns was so fast that when
the correspondent reached the scene
of the recent engagement, the firing
line had advanced fully ten miles
southward.

"The German wounded were imme
diately cared for and the dead buried
as fast as the army continued on the
march while the French dead were
left unburied and the wounded in
some cases, remained on the battle
field for three days before receiving
attention.
“A large proportion of them died
from lack of prompt attention. No
cases were observed where French
medical men were left behind to take
care of their wounded. The German
medical corps was fully occupied with
treatment of its own wounded, and
was hastened onward by forced
marches.
“Cemeteries with unfinished graves
gave mute evidence of a hurried
French retreat.
“I saw a duel between French and
German aeroplanes, both of which
were disabled in a hard battle. After
careening downward in giant circles
the two machines plunged to the earth
almost side by side and were com
pletely shattered while the aviators
v/ere instantly killed.”

Cotton Which is Grown in Franklin, Hart, Jackson, Banks,

Atlanta.—“ Cotton is being sold in
Georgia today at 14c per pound,’* is
the interesting statement made by Dr.
E. L. Worsham, state entomologist, m
the course of an interview ut the state
eapitol on Saturday.
Or. Worsham explains that the cot

price is the breed known as Dixafifi
Long Staple, which has been devel
oped by the state department of ento
mology.
In speaking o fthis attractive grade
of cotton. Dr. Worsham said:
“Dixafifi is the name which we havo
given to the long staple cotton which
we have developed, and which is being
wn with success in northeast Geor
gia, Franklin, Hurt, Jackson. Banks
Madison and Clark counties. This cot
ton has a lint which measures from
one and one-fourth to one and one-half
inches long, whereas the short staplo
cotton, which is so commonly grown,
measures only three-fourths to seven
eights of an inch.
“This long staple cotton ran be
grown anywhere in the cotton belt
and Is certainly the coming variety to

TODAY’S WAR CONDENSED
The French war office at 3 o'clock this afternoon (Paris time) said that
the Germans in France were retreating generally und offering only a feeble re
sistance.
A British official announcement says that British troops crossed the River
Ourcq and are pursuing the Germun right wing whose retreat is rapid. It is
declared that the third French army had captured all the artillery of one Ger
man corpß.
Tlie latest official German report said their forces had captured a fortress
southwest of Verdun and news despatches indicate a. purpose on I in- part of
the German general staff to Hurround and cut off from the line of the allies
tile strongly fortified city of Verdun.
News despatches indicate that the Russians have not overwhelmed the
Austrians in Galicia as had been claimed. Fresh and stubborn fighting in
that Austrian province Is reported and tills has given rise to the specula lion
that the mum corps brought from the west may have been thrown in Aus
tria to support tlu* Austrians instead of proceeding to East Prussia to rein
force the Germans already there.
The situation in East Prussia Is in doubt hut there is nothing to indicate
that the Russians have made any not able advance west since their reversal
at Allenateln. They were last report ed attacking Koenigsberg while the Ger
man troops were said to be moving to ward that stronghold.
Advices received by the French embassy al Washington tell of Hie re
tirement of tlie German center east of Paris lint these obviously ref.r to right
ing of yesterday or earlier, tlie detail h of which were made known In official
dispatches from Paris last nig lit.
A despatch from Rome sayH that Pope Benedict has charged the foreign
cardinals to urge their governments to cease hostilities and convoke a peace
conference.
A despatch from Potrograd says that tlie Servians are continuing success
fully their offensive operations against Austria.
RUSSIAN CAVALRYMEN MET DEATH BY
DRINKING WATER POISONED
BY PEASANTS
Petrograd, (via London, 2:50 a.m.) —How n large squad of Russian
covalrymen met death from drinking poisoned water given them by a
German peasant near Konlgsberg is described by the Mohcow correspon
dent of the KJetsch.
The cavalry were riding from Irterberg over rough roads and In ln
tonse heat. At a small village they asked a peasant for a drink and short
ly after drinking nearly 100 men were attacked with spasms. Four
troopers returned and demanded that the peasant drink some of the
same water. When lie refused they turned him over to their officers for
courtmartial.
Recalls the Napoleonic Times When
Wounded Heroes Promoted on Field
Limoges, France ("la Bordeaux) —On a train loaded with wounded which
passed here today was a young French officer, Albert Palaphy, whose un
usual bravery on the field of battle won for him the l.cglon of Homs-.
As u corporal of the Tenth Dragoons at the beginning of the war t'nlu
phy took port In the fighting with the Germans. In the thick of the Du ll ln
the cavalryman, finding Ids colonel wounded and helpless, rushed to Ids aid.
He hoisted the injured man on his shoulders and under a rain of machine gun
bullets, carried him safely to the French lines.
-Palaphy was promoted to he a sergeant. Shortly afterwards, although
wounded, he led a charge of his squad against the Baden Guards, whose
standard lie himself captured with a bullet wound In Ids abdomen and covered
with lance thrusts, lie was removed from the battlefield during the night and
learned that he had been promoted to tie a sub-lieutenant and nominated
Chevalier iri the Legion of HomW.
This Incident of decorating a soldier on the battlefield recalls Napoleonic
tiroes. • •>
