The Hanover Courier prints a vivid ao
Count by an eye witness of the death of
Prince Wllhpira of Ltppe, who fell In the
assault on XJege. August .
. "After fierce fighting at close quarters
we proceeded auccessfully toward Liege.
On the morning of August , a detach

Of Llppe was commander, succeeded In

where, however, y were completely sur
rounded by Belgian troops, who drew

hard amid a halt of bullets. By order of
bis highness our detachment formed a

tor some time till at - length we saw
strong relnforcementa- coming to our aid.
, "In order to enable them to locate the
exact spot where we were, the prince
f-oee to kneeling position and pointed
with his aword to the approaching col
umn and gave me, who lay a hand'e
breadth away from him on top of our
flag, an order to raise the flag so we
would be reoognlaed.
"I raised the flag and waved It In a
circle, which at onco drew an extra
strong hall of bullets from the enemy.
The flag was shot out of my hands while
the ssme volley wounded the prince fa

thousands of IIvps In the hope of ulti

rapid advance of the Russians In Eastern
Prussia hi something to do with this
and Is responsible for the frantic and In
sane haste which characterises tha Uer
man attempt In northern France to
smash the thin khaki line which so
valiantly bare the road toward Com

Wounded Put o Death.
"That stories of Oerman atrocities are
not one whit exaggerated may be gath
ered from the story told me by a ser
geant who waa wounded In the action
near Mona a week ago. As he lay help,
lese on the ground and the German In
fantry, swept by he could hear, from the
Imploring crloa of the wounded In his
front, that they were being ruthlessly
put to death by their foea.
"Closing his eyea and simulating
death, the wounded sergeant lay per
fectly still. As the Germans passed him
he received a violent blow on the chest
from the butt end of a rifle, which broke
one of hie ribs. He bore the pain un
flinchingly and never moved a muscle.
Another Prussian stabbed a wounded
man with hla bayonet aa be went past.
"The sergeant's ordeal was a terrible
one and he expected every moment to be
hla last. Ultimately the German advance
was broken and their Infantry came roll
ing back, shattered and disordered, leav
ing behind a trail of dead and wounded.
The wounded sergeant was picked by
British stretcher bearers and conveyed
to the base hospital, where he Is now fast
recovering."

was dearly purchased, aa the attacking
German Infantry fell in heaps.

LONDON, Sept. .(: a, nt-V-"With
the Germane so near, there has not been
a day In the last month whea Paris pre
sented the appearance of such complete
calm." aaya the Parle correspondent of the
Chronicle. "More shops are open and
rows of chairs have appeared before the
chief cafes.
"The possibility of a German raid Is
very slight. Solitary fortresses may per
haps be masked, out the attempt to cut
down the Olse valley towards Paris, ex
cept as a trivial raid, without first rout
lag the masses of the army, Is madness.
"We may assume therefore that if the
Germans have faced eastward and turned
their backs ea the British and other
forose gathering In Ploardy (aa old prov
liu la the north of France, but now
forming the department of Komrne and
part of Olse, Paa de Caiala and Alsne)
they must either wla aa Immediate vic
tory or risk being caught between the
hammer and the anvil. If they win they
will still have to meet other armloe, in
cluding the large garrison army. Common
sense is shown In preparing against any
continency.
"More than one edition a day -f any
newspaper Is prohibited on pain of per
manent auppreesion and the lights on the
Seine brldgta and the riverside have been
greatly reduced, no doubt out of regard
for the Zepullne aud aeroplane.
"Jt'e considerable change la perceptible
in the military situation and It la balleved
that the mala French army and the
British wing still hold the line. 6e far
the German turning movement by western
Belgium, which cost enormous losses and
risks, has been successful, but now the
position Is very different. The best Prus
sian and Hanover troops are now ex
hausted and the Germans have the main
bodies of the allies to meet
"The forts on which so many brains
have been spent are not silenced. What
prospective defeat, flight and piecemeal
slaughter Is open for the Germans.
Line Seventy-Five Mllea Loss,
"A brief official revmw Just Issued re
veals the vast extent of this unprece
dented battlefield, seventy-five miles long.
Forty-five miles southward from their
main army the allies blocked the Ger
man path.
"Whether the same British foroe Is
fighting on the Somme to the southwest
or elsewhere we don't know. Near
Secan the French troops had to effect a
slow retreat, but It repelled another Ger
man attack In so doing, inflicting heavy
Gorman losses. Fresh German reinforce
ments then appeared at Rocrol, a forti
fied town In the Department of Ardennes,
and fighting la now going on between
there and the Meuse,
"The official note on the fighting de
scribed It as a kind of a siege. As every
position previously captured by the
French In the Vosges region has been
strengthened and organised, the Frenoh
advance there Is necessarily slow.
"Parisians In reply to the message from
the German aeroplane to "surrender say:
What did you bring under your wing that
we should surrender to you? You brought
death a bomb. That la all. That Is why
you will never have Paris. Paris Is civili
sation In Its beauty. Tou are barbarism In
lta uglness.'
"Many wounded continue to arrive In
Paris; some with trophies, such aa swords
and helmets.
"The Red Cross women here have been
officially Informed that twelve of their
number were -kllled and that others are
missing."
