T(ICWSTSHOT^
In this story Mr. Palmer, the
noted wsr correspondent, hss paint
ed war as he has seen It on many
battlefields, and between many na
tions. His Intimate knowledge of
armies and armaments has enabled
him to produce a graphic picture of
the greatest of all wars, and hla
knowledge of conditions has led
him to prophesy an end of armed
conflicts- No man Is better quali
fied to write the story of the final
world war than Mr. Palmer, and
he has handled his subject with a
master hand.
(Continued from Y«sterday.)
"The apron of Engadlr In ourel” he
called. "Thanka to you!" he added
with pointed emphasis, llark In the
house be had received congratula
tion* with a nod, as If euccesa were
a matter of course. Before her, ex
ultation unbent Btiffneaa, and he was
hoarsely triumphant and eager, "it’s
plain Bailing now,” lie went on. “A
break in the main Uriel We have
only to drive home the wedge, and
then—and then!" he concluded.
Bhe felt him close, hla breath on
her cheek.
"Peace!” Bhe hastened to nay, draw
ing back Instinctively.
And then! The Irony of the words
in the light of her knowledge was
pointed by a terrlflo renewal of the
thunders and the flashes far up on the
range, and she could not resist re
joining in her heart.
"That's the Browns!" exclaimed
rWesterllng in surprise.
The volume of fire Increased With
the rest of the frontier in darkness,
the Engadlr section was an isolated
blase. In its light she saw his fea
tures, without alarm but hardening in!
dogged intensity.
"They've awakened to what they have

attack. We must bold what we have

His last sentence was spoken over
bis shoulder os he started for the
bouae.
Without changing her position,
bardty turning her head, she watched
until the tiring began to lessen rap
idly. Then she heard his step. Hbe
rose to face him, summoning back
the spirit of the actress.
'This Is better yet! I cams to tell
you that the couuter-attark failed I” hs
said as he saw her appear from the
shelter of the arbor.
Bhe wondered if she were going to
fall. But the post of the treilie was
within reach. Bhe caught hold of it
to steady herself. Failed!
"The killing—it must have been ter
rible!" her mind at last made her ex
claim to cover her tardiness of re
sponse to his mood.
“You thought of that—as you should
•—as 1 do!" hs said.
He took her hands In his, pulsing
warm with the flowing red of his
strength. Bhe let them remain life
lessly, as If she had not the will to
take them away, the Instinct of her
part again dominant. To him this was
another victory, and It was discovery
—the discovery of melting weakness
in her for the Aral time, wlilrh magni
fied his sense of masculine power. He
tightened hla grip slightly and she
shuddered.
"You are tired!" he said, end It hurt
ber that he should bo so considerate.
"The killing- to end that! It's all
1 want!" she breathed miserably.
"And the end is near!" he said.
Tea. now. thanks to you!"
Thanks to her! And aha must listen
and submit to bis touch!
"Then engineers and material wore
ready to go in," he continued. "Ne-
Tore morning, as I had planned, wa
•hall be so a-ell fortified In the poet
tlon that nothing ran budge us This
success so strengthens my power with
the staff and the premier that I need

proaches In the hope of saving Ufa
Tomorrow 1 shall attack and keep on
attacking till all the main line Is ours."
"Now you are playing your real part,
the conqueror I" she thought gladly.
"Your kind of peace Is the ruin of an
other people; ths peace of a helpless
enemy. That Is better' - better for her
conscience Unwittingly, she allowed
her bands to remain in his. In ths pa
ralysis of despslr she was unconscious
that she had hands. Bhe felt that sbs
could endure anything to retrieve the
error Into which ahe had been the
means of leading the Browns. And
the killing--it would not atop, aha
knew. No, the Browns would not
yield until they were decimated.
"We have the nsmbers to spare.
Numbers shall press home -ham# to
terms In their capital!" Westerltngs
voice grew husky as hs proceeded,
harsh as orders to soldiers who hesi
tated in face of fire. "After that —after
that" —the tone changed from harsh
ness to desire, which was still ths de
sire of possession -“the fruits of
peace, a triumph that I want you to
•bare!" He was drawing her toward
him with an impulse of the force of
this desire, when she broke free with
an abrupt, struggling pull.
. "Not that 1 Not that I Your work
is not yet done!” she cried.
He made a move as if to persist,
then he fell back with a gesture of
understanding.
"Right! Hold me to it!” he ex
claimed resolutely. “Hold me to the
bargain! So a woman worth while
should hold a man worth while.”
"Yes!” she managed to say, and
turned to go In a sudden Impetus of
energy. Half running, half stumbling,
the light of the lantern bobbing and
trembling weirdly, she hnstened
through the tunnel. Usually the time
for taking the receiver down till
Lanny replied waa only a half min
ute. Now she waited what aeemed
many minutes without response. Had
the connections been broken? To
make sure that her Impatience was
not tricking her she bagan to oount
off the seconds. Then she heard L*n-
Btron’s voice, broken and hoarse:
"Marts, Marta, he Is dead! Bartow
is dead!”
Recovering himself, lanstron told
the story of Bartow's going, which was
In keeping with his life snd hts

tine as usual with flashes of humor
and reflection ranging beyond the de
tails in hand. An hour or bo before
dark he had reached aoross the table
and laid hie big, soft palm on the buck
of ljtnstron's hand. He was thinking
aloud, a habit of his In Lanstrnn'a com

“My boy, II is not fatal If we lose

behind It are very strong.”
"No, not fatal,” Lanstron agreed.
"Hut It’s very Important.”
"And Westerling will think It fatal.
Yes, I understand his character. Yes—

"I shall continue to obey orders and

"And they will, too, or I’ll know the
reason why.”
There woe a silence, but at length
the colonel exploded:
"I suppose Westerling knows what
he Is doing!”
"Still we must go on! We must
win!”
"Yes, the offensive always wins in
the end. We must go on!”
“And once we have the range —yes,
ouce we’ve won one vital position—the
men will recover their enthusiasm and
be crying: 'On to the capital!’ ”
“Right! We were forgetting history.
We were forgetting the volatility of
human nature.”

Far up on a peak among the birds
and aeroplanes, in a roofed, shell-proof
chamber, with a telephone orderly at
his side, a powerful pair of fleld-glasses
and range tlndere at his elbow, and a
telescope before his eye, Qustave Fel
ler, one time gardener and now acting
colonel of artillery, watched the burst
of shells over the enemy’s lines. While
other men had grown lean on war, he
had taken on enough flesh to fill out
the wrinkles around hie eyes that
phone with an artist’s enjoyment of
hts work. Down under cover of the
ridge were his guns, the keys of the
instrument that he played by calls
over the wire. Their harking waa a
symphony to his ears; errors of or
chestration were errors In aim. He
talked as he watched, hie lively fea

RETREAT OF GERMANS
MOST RAPID; THOUGHT
HALT IN BELGIUM
Heavy Rains of Sunday Bar Progress of Enormous Mor
tors. Another Concentration in France Considered Im
possible. British-French Cross River Aisne.
Paris, 6:20 a. m. —The retreat of
the armies of Generals von Kluck and
von Buelow continues with consider
able rapidity and according to of
ficial accounts the allies in pursuit
have crossed the River Aisne.
The exact whereabouts of the Ger
mans is not revealed but it is evident
that they do not intend to make a
stand on the line from Rheims to
Hoissons and It is hardly likely, it is
thought here, that they will halt their
retreat before reaching Belgium.
They have already made two-thirds
of the distance from Brovins in the
Department of Seine-et-Marne to the
frontier.
Heavy Rains.
The heavy rains of Saturday and
Sunday are not likely to facilitate the
movement of their famous 420 mill
metre mortars, each of which requires
40 horses to draw it.
The acujlos of General von Hausen
and the Prince of Wurttemburg which
constituted the center, seem to he
headed toward Bethel and Mezieres
though part of this force is reported
as still resisting at the south end of
the forest of the Argonne.

It was reported last night that the
armies of the crown prince, the prince
of Bavaria and Gen. Von Heeringen
had been forced to cross the frontier,
clearing the entire territory of French
Lorraine. This disposition of the Ger
man armies, if confirmed, makes an
other concentration in France, as
suggested by certain critics, impos
sible. It leaves Generals von Kluck
and von Buelow hostly pursued by
the allies, menaced by an enveloping
movement on the left and without
hope of reinforcements, except per
haps from the sixty thousand troops
which occupy Belgium.

The latest news from Antwerp,
however, shows that the full force of
troops in that vicinity is likely to he
kept busy standing off the offensive
movement taken by King Albert’s
army.
Taken altogether the situation here
is viewed with equanimity and the
government is liusying itself with
ways and means for reviving trade
and commerce.
COTTON IS TO
TAKE ‘LONGS’
New Orleans —Reports today at the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange that a
syndicate of prominent cotton interests
was being organized in New York to
take over the speculative “long” inter
est on a basis of nine cents caused much
favorable comment.
It was generally believed on the ex
change that cleaving up this estimated
amount of a quarter of a million bales
would remove a main obstacle to re
suming business.
A committee of New Orleans women
today entered into the “buy-a-bale”
movement, pledging themselves to induce
women to buy cotton.
CHICAGO MARKETS
Chicago. Ills.—Reported important vic
tories of the allies, accepted by the grain
trade as tending to shorten the war,

the climax of the war excitement went
to $1.32, sold today for $1.15 1-2.

MRS. ALLYN CALLS
SUFFRAGE MEETING.
Mrs. Minnie Battle Allyn, one of the
state presidents of the Georgia Wo
man's Suffrage Association of Atlanta,
of which Mrs. Mary E. McLendon is
general president, is in the city, a
guest of the Albion, and calls a meet
ing for Tuesday afternoon, September
fifteenth, at five o’clock, in the Albion
parlor, for the purpose of formally
establishing the Augusta Woman’s
Suffrage Association, which will be
come a branch of the Georgia Wo
man’s Suffrage Association, and
through it a branch of the National.
Mrs. Allyn is president of the Tenth
Congressional District of Georgia and
her suffrage work includes Augusta.
Mrs. Allyn having accomplished a
splendid work here through petitions
presented to the past legislature, and
in lining up prominent men and wo
men for membership in the Augusta
Suffrage Club, she is very naturally
the president of the Augusta Suffrage
Association. There is not a woman
in the state better known for her phe
nomenal work for suffrage than is
Mrs. Allyn. The national leader,
Mrs. Funk, corroborates this state
ment. New York, Washington, St.
Louis, Florida, California and other
states besides Georgia are making
urgent requests for her campaign
buttons. The union men have pledg
ed themselves to Mrs. Allyn. It is an
unusual sight to see how Mrs. Allyn
has won the union men of the South,
who are wearing her badges as fast
as she can supply them, and every
Georgia train that arrives in Atlanta,
Savannah, Macon and Augusta bear
the insignia of suffrage and the
triumph of her achievement. Mrs.
Allyn will organize the Augusta
branch of the Augusta Woman’s Suf
frage Club into two leagues, of which
she will be president. The society
•women will become members of the
Augusta Woman’s Association; the
business women, including all those
who work in stores and shops of any
and all kinds, will be known as mem
bers of the Woman’s Suffrage Party
of Augusta. A suffrage league will
also be organized, five hundred mem
bers have already pledged themselves
to Mrs. Allyn.
Mrs. Allyn asks the women of Au
gusta to meet her at the Albion parlor
tomorrow, Tuesday afternoon, Sep
tember fifteenth, at five o’clock. The
business women who may not find it
convenient to he there at that time,
she asks to meet her tomorrow, Tues
day, evening at eight o’clock in the
Albion parlor.
These two branches are to he or
ganized in this way because the bus
iness women have asked it, that they
mav have a separate club.
Mrs. Allyn states that she will also
organize a’ Men’s Suffrage League in
Augusta, but that she will have to go
after them.
INTERESTING MARRIAGE
WEDNESDAY.
Augusta friends of Miss Katherine
Sullivan, of Joliet, 111., who has spent
several seasons here with her sister,
Mrs. John Murphy, on the Hill, will
he interested to learn that she will be
married Wednesday morning at nine
o'clock to Mr. Edward Blum, of Romeo,
111. The ceremony, which will be with
mass, will be celebrated at St. Pat
rick's cathedral, and after an extended
wedding trip Mr. Blum and his bride
will make their home in Romeo, 111.
FORMER AUGUSTAN
E JTERTAINS IN MACON.
The Macon Telegraph says:
Little Miss Eleanor Carr entertained
ten of her friends at a pretty after
noon party Thursday to celebrate her
tenth birthday. Everything was in
pink and white. The little girls spent
a happy atternoon playing with cun
ning souvenirs and “poppers” that
contained pink tissue paper caps. Each
littel lady wore her cap, and all stood
around the dining table, vhich was
very attractive with the birthday cake,
