The same guns continued their fire fect, and it seemed impossible to sil- nco their fire, when the Ninth Lan- ers made their heroic attempt.

Then, like their prototypes st Balaklavs, they rode back and on their re_turn fell in greater numbers still. All estimates of the loss must be received with caution, ss soldiers become detached and rejoin their re- ‘giments later. I have met several 'lost regiments myself today. The whole forces here are speaking of this charge. GALLANT GRENFELU8 DEED `. Another gallant deed was that of Capt. F. O. Grenfell of the Ninth Lan- cers. He was hit in both legs and had two fingers shot oi! at the same ltime. Almost as he received these wounds a couple of guns posted near- by were deprived of their servers, all of whom save one were struck by the bursting of shrapnel. The horses for the guns had been placed under cover. “We'll get the guns back." cried Grenfell. and at that, with a number of his men, in spite of his wounds, he did manage to harness the guns up and get them away. He then was taken to a hospital. There was a great feat of arms too at Solemes. east of Camhral, on Wed- nesday last. A number of English re- giments. but it is difficult to confirm which with absolute accuracy, held an exposed position. They were ex- pecting support all day. but the sup- port was delayed. The enemy crept around them and the British, to avoid being encircled, charged the gradual- ly enclosing German ring with the bayonet. The men went at It yelling and shouting and got through where there was a gap. There was no more than 800 yards between the enveloping German forces. On the gap the Ger- man artillery was trained with its unfalling regularity and the loss of all these regiments was great. lt is gen- erally acknowledged that our troops have suffered very severely indeed and that they have behaved with great courage. Boer War Was ChlId's Play. Ven who took part in the South African campaign say that the hottest firing there was childish compared with that the troops have undergone in Belgium and France. The German trenches are lined with machine guns. The infantry behind cause no perturbation. Their firing is valueless and their ranks are too pack- ed for them to use their rifles proper- ly. But their machine guns pour out an incessant sheet of lead and defend the trenches only too well. We need Il‘l-?'lI|‘l! m°N IUC!! Sims and more guns of s UPG l»0`°0D0 with the German aero- bllues. which hover over the exact positions of our troops and mark the range of the Gorman artillery. The drivers of these Taube ma- chines-are very daring and will fiy following the whole length or our trenchas. Our howitsers have brought down some. Our men brought one down the other day, but there seems to be many mom. The one complaint of our men here “ls that they»can.not. get hand to hand with the Germans. Their shell fire prevents this. Most of the wounded are suffering from shell wounds. Bul- let wounds are much less common. Our artillery has been well served and has caused much damage to the Germans. As far as can be learned we have lost only four gulls and have taken twenty-six, but these figures are not official. Our transport column taking ra- tions to the men was cut out by the Germans. and the men had to do marches of thirty-six and twenty miles on successive days on two biscuits per man, but. as one of them said, "We revenged ourselves by taking a German supply column the next day." The Scots Grays' Brave Major. The Scots regiments. including the famous Greys, have been heavily en- gaged. There was the splendid personal ac- tion of the Major who, in a rapid re- tirement while the hostile cavalry was threatening and the battery horses 1» had been disabled, pushed the bat- tery into position with his own hands. aided by officers and men along the road, to a point of vantage. The fire from the battery at this point was able to counteract the enemy's offen- sive. About this small town this evening the behaviour of all these men of ours is sober and tranquil. There is no flurry of excitement. The present op- erations might be only manoeuvres. They keep their anger for the field of battle. Not so with the Gemlans. Some of the British who were captured were stripped and bound to the wheels of the German guns so they could not escape, but with the complicity of a brave peasant they dld escape and brought back the story. We are so near the enemy here that we can hear the guns to-night. The British troops are facing the enemy on a new line. The utmost good rela- tions exist between the British and the French. Frencbmen with wlloln l have been talking are full of praise of the British behaviour under fire. fi” IOZI‘1lVL\\\\\\W \\§'{//I//II/4\\\\\\\ lllll City Schools ' -and- Priuce of Wales \`§¥\\\\\\\\ W n 'a '~= ffl fa 93 B r-of m W I an Q 9!

Telegraph Special.-A good deal of light is thrown on the engagement in which *General Sasonoff was killed by tile narration ofa Colonel who was among he wounded. He says "What happened than you can believe. Here our corps held the long lille from Soldau on the left wing at Neidenburg. On the rigllt the right wing. Then however we re- ceived information that the enemy llali 'concentrated his strength on our left wing. Accordillgly we too began to move our troops from the right wing towards Soldau. So far ps our kllowl- edge wellt our forces were not smaller than those of the Germans und the staff considered a battle practicable. But the Germalls, it is said, had re- ceived large reinforcement on the ,night of August 31. ln this single night 160 trains with troops reuclled them. Moreover wc hall not counted upoll having to deal with their heavy ar- tillery llere. lt had been assumed that only ordinary field artillery would take part in the figllt. \\’hen iirc was opened it was at first diqlcult to com- renend what had happened, what hell had opened its gates. How strong the enemey's dre was appears from then hours it completely destroyed Soldau. Ill the town literally not one stone was left upon another. All efforts to break through this fire and reach the enemy were in vain. Besides their great mob- ility. their artillery must not be for- gotten. All except heavy guns are rapidly moved about on motor-cars.” Questioned as to statements that the artillery of the Russians was su- perior to that of the enemy. the Col- onel replled, "So long as the Gennsns were on our terrtory that was so but as soon as we reached their territory there was a change. Their country had undoubtedly been divided into squares each of which in tum was vigorously bombarded. That explains the failure of Osterode. I can assure you the Ger- mans are not ln Soldau, We have with- drawn from there but they have not occupied it."

Every nation ln existance have added _ their quota to this stock. grders for most of these goods were placed-by us many months ago, and were safe on their way across th_e;Atl_antlc before the declaration ofwar, and consequently the pressing situation ln pnce will not affect us in the least this season. Strange to say. our German and Austrian goods were on the ocean some days previous to the declaration I of hostilities in that foreign land. - New Silks Direct from the Orient Everything that is New in Silks is here now A few days after receiving our large shipment of fall silks, we received a note from the largest manufacturer of silks in Japan, stating that, owing to the fact that their country is now in a state of war they wlll be unable for the present to execute further orders for silks.

You ladies will agree with us in buying, that they are the most nifty being shown in the City. An exact duplicate of any coat shown by us will not be seen in any other store in the City this season, that is owing to the fact that we have been buying these goods in vely large quantities, and have been able to control the output of some of the largest mantel houses on the continent.
