Breck inridge, American assistant secretary of war, arrived In London today from Havre by way of Weymouth, on the cruiser Tenneeeee. The cruiser brought no American refugees as practically all who desire to leave Fiance had already done ao. Mr. Breckinridge expects to remain here only a few days before leaving for the United States. Me says hla original estimate of 100,000 Americans In Europe wishing to get away when the war broke out has been verified by reports showing that about that number had been assisted or are In "Gets-lt” for Corns Sure as Sunrise New Plsn, Corns Shrivel, Vsnleh.

Mr. Breckinridge believes the $7,- 500,000 set aside for the relief of the Americans will suffice as he thinks the government ought not to bo ex peeled to care for Americans who re main In the war zone, after being duly warned and given an opportunity to leave.

Small Parties Seen Burning and Burying Dead Men and Horses Soissons, France, (via Parie.) —Here had been a fine little elty of 13,000 In habitants with traditions since the lime of Caesar. A few hundred [per sons were In the streets back of the river. The*'rest had left before the Germans entered. Directions where to find bridges and routes to neighboring towns were painted on Ihn walls of buildings at the corners of streets, In the German language. German soldiers named Schneider, Schultz and Sehwart had written their names In chalk upon the steel shutters of the shop windows. l’rlnce Joachim, the youngest son <pf Emperor William, was here five days ago, before he was wounded. The last German gbell fell Into the town this morning wounding a wo man. Huge Trains. Upon the roads behind the army are supply trains, huge automobile trucks built to carry four and a half tons or two wheeled horse carts each with one or two led horses that If one gives out another may take its place near the firing line, crowd the way. In the wide track where the nine days fighting took place, over the 75 miles of country between here and the Marne, singularly little physical dam age was evident along the main roads. Burned Intentionally. Relnlts, a town of 6,000 Inhabitants, appears to have been burned by the J. Henry and nine other Amerlean of ficers at Paris have been left In charge of the Interests of their coun trymen and of subjects of belligerent countries whoso welfare had been en trusted to the United Htates. In France Alone. In Franco alone, chiefly In the neighborhood of Paris, It Is estimated that 40,000 Germans and Austrians are interned. The American officers make frequent visits to the buildings where they are held and talk with the prisoners, lnspeot the sanitary condi tions, examine the food served and generally look after the well-being of these foreigners. At Berlin, Amerlean Ambassador .Tames W. Gerard adopted the plan of treating all Latln-Amerlcans as though they were citizens of the Unit ed states. He Is assisting many of them to depart. In Italy. The situation In Italy Is now com fortable. There are more accommo dations on the steamers sailing from Genoa than are demanded. Mr. Breckinridge has not decided whether the Tennessee will return to the United States with him as a pas senger or will be held here after he leaves. Germans Intentionally. The whole place is a mass of ruins. Early this morning a black Jdtten seemed to be the sole inhabitant of this French town, hut presently some of the In habitants emerged from their batter ed homes and one said that not fewer than 1,900 people were really In the town. Home of the inhabitants af firm that the Germans had organized the Incendiarism, setting house after house afire until It seemed as though everything would burn down. Other towns and villages in this vi cinity, except for the damage done by artillery and rifle fire, show no signs of the recent conflict. Burying Dead. Silence reigns over the country back of the fighting line and very few peo ple are seen moving about. Small parties of civilians are burying stray dead In the field where they fell, and burning or burying dead horses. An occasional buzzard Is seen wheeling In the air. The wheat ricks stand untouched, close to the entrenchments with which the countryside Is lined. Rows of trees along the fine roads show the effects of artillery fire. An occasion al tree trunk a foot thick has been cut off sharp by a single projectile and at points along the highway where the I fire was hottest, branches litter the ground.
