I "Tha rain has caused a rreat droo in tha temperature and there Is mora than a distant feeling of autumn In tha air, especially In the early morning. "On our right and left tha French hava been fighting fiercely and have also been gradually gaining ground. Ono village already during this battle has been cap tured and recaptured twice by each side and at the time of writing remain In the hands of the German. "The fighting has been at close quarters I an l of the moat desperate nature and the streeU of the village are filled with the dead of both aides. "The Germans are a formidable enemy, well trained, long prepared and brave. Th.ir aoldlera are carrying on the con teat with skill and valor. Nevertheleaa they are fighting to win any way, re caidless of all the rules of fair play, and i there is evidence that they do not hesitate at anything In order to gain victory, letter of tier man Soldier. a large number of the talea of mlebe- havlors are exaggeration and some of the stringent precautions they have taken to guard thenuielvea against the Inhabitants ; of the nreas traversed are possibly Just! I name measures of war. But at the same time It has been definitely established mat they have committed atrocities on mony occasions, and they have been guilty of brutal conduct. "8o many letters and statements of our wounded aoldlera have been published In our newspapers, the following epistle of a German soldier of the Seventy-fourth inianiry regiment. Tenth corps, to his wife, also may be of Interest: " 'My IVar Wife: have Just been liv ing tnrough days that defy Imagination. T should never have thought that men oould eland it. Not a second has passed hut my life has been In danger, and yet not a hair of my head has been hurt. " It Was horrible; It waa ghastly, but I have been saved for you and for our happlneb. and I take heart again, al though I am still terribly unnerved. Cod grant that I may e you again soon and that thla horror may soon be over. " 'None of us can do any more; human strength la at an end. I will try to tell you about It. On the Sth of September the enemy were reported to be taking up a position near St. Prix, southeast of Paris. The Tenth corps, which had made an as tonishingly rapid advance, was attacked on Bunday. Sleep slopes led up to the heights.- which were held In considerable fcrcc. With our weak detachments of the Beventy-fourth and Ninety-first regiments we reached the crest and came under a terrible artillery fire, that mowed us down. However, we entered St. Prix. Hardly had we done so than we were met with shell fire and a violent fusillade from the enemv'a Infantry. The Third Colonel. " 'Our colonel waa badly wounded. He la the third we have had.

"Ouc first battalion, which has fought with, unparalleled bravery Is reduced from 1,200 to 194 men. These numbers speak for themselves, 'Amone the minor happenings of in terest Is the following: 'During a counter attack by the Ger man fifty-third regiment on portions of the Northampton and Queen's regiments on Thursday, the 17th, a force of sjme to of the enemy were allowed to ap proach light up to the trench occupied by a platoon of the former regiment, owing to the fact that they had held up HesiTr Fltfhtlng Near Amiens. IiONDON. Sept. 13. The Amiens cor respondent of the Times telegraphs that heavy fighting Is In progress not many miles southeast of Amiens. He says: "It Is the beginning of a decisive phase of the battle of the Alsne. On the Issue of this fighting depends the continued oc cupation of French soil by the German Invaders or of their retreat to strongly entrenched positions which have been prepared for them on the Bambre. "Since the Germans evacuated Amiens a week ago the town has become an Important center for French military op erations. Though the Amiens district Ih well served with railways. It Is the high ways that count now, as the railway bridges for the most part have been blown, up and not yet repaired. "On Thursday, laat, French reinforce ments, under command of General D'Amade entered Amiena from the west and after a short stay resumed their march, proceeding along one of the east ern roads to a destination which can only be conjectured. "The enemy occupied Douny yesterday morning and seized the railway atatlon at Soualn, on the line connecting Doual with Valenciennes. It appears, therefore. that tha Germans are alive to tha neces sity of protecting their line of commu nication to Mons, where I hear headquar ters of the army haa been established. Thua the German Una haa been extended north from Camhrai, which haa been oc cupied in force. "On Saturday and Sunday there waa great military activity In Amiens. The nervous tension was extraordinary in expectation of some Important develop ment along the fighting line. When c ' T i '.' Ail ).' '"' ?

"The operations In Woevre have heen more or lesa at a standstill for some days a the iruns were stuck fast In the clay and innumerable riverlets overflowed large tract of country. The armies are again moving and the Germans are des perately attempting to break the Mrong natural defenses of the Meuse heights In order to paralyxe the allies' plan In the center. "The plains tf the Woevre, the scene of the present effort, were made for a battle and the Muae heights, with their steep escarpment and strengthened by forts form a barrier or rrodiguoua strength. The northern Woevre lake ll among green forests and a ranpn of steep hills, crowned with forest, rises amid this country.
