BATTLEFIELD LIKE IRON PLANT
Ome Artillery IMfe round Away
Foar Dare at Lee Parorhre
Without Loratloa BelaB
Discovered.
BERMN (Mr The Itague and London.)
Oct 3. An orportunlty to watch closely
the German-Austrian artillery attack on
the line of Trench forte aouth of Verdun
lift Saturday was given an Associated
Frees correspondent, who had been with
tha Germans at Met.
An attack, which Friday led to tha tak
ing of Fort Camp Romalns, aa tha
first step in the breaking of the defense
of tha fort lines, resulted Saturday In
tha silencing of Fort Ls Parcches, tha
correspondent aays.
Towards evening It was reported that
was replying to the Austrian fire, all
tha other forts being silent. After that
tha Austrtans concentrated their flra with
precision on thin single turret from a
distance of six miles, indicating that it
was but a mntter of time when the de
fense line would ba resdy for an In
fantry attack.
Vnllnntlr Defended.
Fort Camp Des Ilomains was valiantly
defended by the French. The attacking
forces came within five yards of the
only one armed turret at Fort LyonvlUe
trench in front of tht fort before the
garrison surrendered. Tha French ar
tillerymen In the casemates of the forts
had to be dislodged with hand grenades,
smoke bombs and fire tubes, which Ger
man volunteers placed against the open
ing of the casemates, filling tha Interiors
with fragments of bombs and sense-robbing
gases.
Even then the defenders refused to
capitulate. Finally they ware given most
honorable conditions of surrender, owing
to the valor tlioy had displayed.
The correspondent s trip over the bat
tlefield showed nothing of the tradi
tional battle tumult, such aa attacking
Infantry, racing cavalry and galloping
artillery.
Artillery Invisible.
Tha heavy artillery could not be seen.
There was the tremendous detonation of
siege pieces and large columns of smoke
areas from burning villages. The black
surface thus created was studded every
where with the white olouds from explod
ing projectiles.
On the road a few wounded were mak
ing their way to the base hospitals. Be
yond that the battlefield gave the Im
pression of a tremendous Iron plant,
with Its masses of artillery machinery
and the attending noises, a feature which
seems to mark this war more and more
as the preconceived plans are applied.
Tho German and Austrian heavy siege
pieces were marvelously concealed and
placed and the working of them was like
clockwork. Men brought ammunition and
placed it with astounding regularity, as
if they hail done nothing else all their
lives, though now and then the wholly
mechanical process was Interrupted for
a lew minutes by new Inxtructions which
were recived over the telephone, ob
servations having necessitated a slight
change in the direction of the fire. There
was a pause for the noon meal.
Loi-atioa ITever Discovered.
One artillery, piece pounded away for
four days with Les Paroches as Its ob
jective, and the location of the gun never
was discovered. During that time the
men handling this cannon had gone to
housekeplng most comfortably.
St Mihlel had been evacuated shortly
before the arrival of the correspondent.
From hills near the battle ground 1
luuui iw seen max ine artillery on Doth
sides was hammering Incessantly. To
wards evening smoke columns rose south
of Toul, indicating that a fight was going
on there.
Cossacks Adopt
Flying Wedge as -Form
of Assault
(Copyright, 1914, by Press Publishing Co.)
ROME, Oct 3 (Special Cablegram to
New York World and Omaha Bee.) When
the Austrian armies, defeated by the Kus
sians in Galicia, were retreating In dis
order toward Cracow, they were hotly
pursued by Russians. The Infantry divi
sions easily wera overtaken and offered
no resistance to the terrible charges.
The Cossacks adopted a apeclal format
tlon, advancing In a triangle Instead of a
'Bne. When the charge took place the
""shock was Irresistible as the apex of the
triangle pierced the Infantry Una while
the sides advanced onward and continued
to charge.

A lesson in elementary anatomy had

not flatter himself that he had made any

Only one youth howed any signs of ln

"Well, famrny, you seem to be the only
