Forming part of the rraorve, we were
expected to remain under cover. In front
of ua waa a large, open battlefield. To
each aide of ua were batteries which had
thundered away slaoe early morning.
The result of this was that many of the
enemy's shells dropped right In front of
us. I remember noticing that while the
smoke of our shells had a Ulae color, that
of tha enemy's was white.

"So far we had not been disquieted by
the shells at all. On the edge of the
brush wood had been planted a yellow
black flag, showing that somewhere in
that vicinity was to be found our gen

toward it. possibly to get orders, but
Just as he got there a shrapnel exploded
a little ahead of him In the air and he
saw our commaadlng officer. In whom

s From that moment on, too, a veritable
hall of shells began to come. Some sap
tiers, who had been busy digging a trench
for the protection of the general staff,
started to run, 1 feared that my soldiers
would follow the example, and began to
make fun of the poor sappers,, scolding
them at the same time. Thank Qod, ray
battalion found that funny and began to
laugh. They lived through a terrific

found occasion for laughter.
"A major took command of the regi

hill which the enemy had taken .under
heavy fire. But of the enemy nothing
at all was to be seen as ws neared the
position, though the hall of shells and
shrapnels Increased In fury. The flag
bearer marched about 300 paces oft my
side. By accident I looked In his di
rection, saw the white cloud of smoke
of a Russian shell and where the fl
bearer had been there waa nothing more
to be seen.
"The enemy, meanwhile, had taken to
flight and later we saw the lluaatana

the river Por, and crossed It we after

Blankets Can Be
Made Into Overcoats
(Correspondence of the Associated Prese.)
IX5NKON, Sept IS. The report that
some 3M.000 men of the Brltlxh forces lack
overcoats haa prompted a retired naval
officer to snggent an American idea.
'DurtiiK the civil wnr In America," he
writes In a letter to the Times, "the con
federate soldiers made good overcoats
out of blankets. A silt was cut In the
center Just large enough to put the head
through. The silt was then hemstitched
to prevent Its getting larger. A flat but
ton was then sewn on one side at the
center of the silt, and a tab with a button
hole on the other side, so as to close the
hole when not In use. Borne of the
southerners added a small silt or a piece
of tape in which they carried a tooth
brush instead of a flower."

There are many reasons why Stone

most wonderful natural phenomenon In
the world, it would stand until the day
of doom, a memorial to ti e brave men of

We would aid the state In raising the
money. The mountain would then belong
to the state, to remain forever a monu

WESTERN SUPPLY COMPANY
ENJOYS GOOD BUSINESS
During the last week the Western Auto
mobile Supply company has had very
good business, considering that it was the
last week of the month, and they were
more than pleased with both the orders
from their salesmen as wel as the mail
orders which they received.
Mr. IxxJtwood," who has returned to
them after a good, long vacation, has
been very well received by his trade In
the North Platte territory.
The trade In gepersl seems to be pre
paring for fall business, and the Western
Automobile Supply company has had a
very good business in robes, radiator
covers, hot air connections for car
buretors as well as water jackets, heal
ers and everything In the warm line.

The liquor question will be settled eventually between those who know how to use liquor tem
perately and demand the right to purchase it, and those who deny them such right. The de
mand creates the supply. Statistics prove that, notwithstanding an increased consumption of
whiskey, there is less intemperance than ever before, because Americans have learned to use il
tmmperattly. Good whiskey, like Golden Sheaf, diluted for instance with charged waters, is no stronger
than milder beverages, and it the purest of all stimulants. Being germless, it cannot ferment or spoil
like so-called soft drinks, nor cause acity or biliousness in the system. . It's abute, as well as the abuse
of anything is harmful; its moderate use beneficial. The medicine chest should not be without ii

HKRT.IN, Bept- II The following de- i
script Ions of the devastation at Liege and
Namiir are translated from accounts In
the Tagehlatt:
i rejii nru ivieKe m Hie rvnms; oi n
stormy day. We traveled through street 1
where Ih smoke of burned houses wss !
stilt curling upward, streets that showed ;
no signs of life. Tatrols marched through ;
the city. The beautiful shops across from
the university were a field of ruins. I
was told that two rilrhts before, on Au- j
gust 21 shots came from these siops as I
If by prearrangement. The Inhabitants!
of the houses were dragged out. the i
women were torn from the men, and who- j
ever had a weapon In Ms hands wss shot. ,
In a few minutes the streets were sow n i
with corpses. Tha houses were set on
fire.
"Kyewltnesses described for me the de
tails of the eonquest of Liege. Loudn.
the strongest fort, was bombarded by the
newest Krupp guns, which were stationed
In the market place, In the middle of the
city. Every window pane In the rlclnlty
was broken by the concussion, and pieces '
of roof fell from some of the hrtusea. The !
fort soon surremdereli. A division of i
Jaeger were the first men to enter the I
fort. The destruction was terrible. About ;
40t1 corpses lay piled up InsMe the stone
walls. The stench was unbearable. About
I00 wounded were counted. The only man
uninjured wss the commandant A
wounded man. who evidently was about
to be operated on, lay In the lasarett. He
had been killed hy a shell. Liege had
altogether thirteen forts. Nine were
taken by Infantry storm, the others were
reduced by artillery. The forts are being
repaired for German use by the inhabi
tants of the city, who get six francs a day
for their work.
"A German, who had lain tin a Belgian
fort as prisoner and witnessed the whole
bombardment, described the course of
the battle. The bombardment he said,
begHn at midnight on August . One
shell after another exploded, and Liege
was soon afire In many places. From
every roof and window In the houses
csme a rain of bullets. Under this fire
the Germsns stormed through the village
of Roncourt and deployed In a wheat
field. Two hundred Germans opened a
rapid fire on 2.000 Belgians, of whom 500
fell. Nineteen German prisoners were
confined In a cellar when the Germans'
heavy artillery began firing. They could
hear the shells coming through the air,
and every time they exploded gns,
powder, earth and cement dunt flew Into
the cellar until the men were nearly suf
focated. Finally an explosion blew In the
Iron door of the cellar, and shortly there
after the Bolglans surrendered, freeing
the prisoners.
"On the following morning I went to
Namur. Tn Liege certain streets had been
burned out. but In Namur whole blocks
were destroyed. Tha Orand Palace, with
Its beautiful Rathaus, had been blotted
out of exlstenoe. In Its place were heaps
of ruins, from which smoke was still com
ing. The destructive effect of grenades
could be noted on many houses. The city
was without bread. German petrols were
guarding the bakeries, which were being
stormed by the people. By 4 o'clock in
the afternoon eiven the largest hotels had
no provisions of any kind left."
