French's staff, participated with the expeditionary forces of the from Mons to Senlis, and, as chaplain in the bitter fighting day and night, ‘was one of the 1,404 passengers aboard the steamer Mauretania, in to-day from Liverpool. He told « story of war as he had seen it through the yellow fumes of lyddite shells and under the glare of searehlights, ~ Father Molloy’s characterization of¢—————________ what he had seen he put in these @triking words: “It le not war; it is a holocaust. ‘The greatest slaughter in the world’s history ie going on be- hind that censorship ourtain in France, “When the world learns of the Price that hae been paid it will be etaggered—sick at heart.” “My parish is at North Island, New Zealand,” said Father Molloy. “I had gone to England om a leave of ab- wence, bound for Trenton, N.

I accepted the post. “The, first consignment of the ex- Peditionary forces under Sir John French left Southampton in the dead of night on Aug. 18 and embarked on seventy-four transports, convoyed by & fleet of cruisers, battleships and torpedo craft. “Not a light was shown. That @reat flotilla of steel and armed men moved across the Channel like some ghost army. We arrived at Boulogne and there remained at anchor three lays before the transports were dis- sharged. “Finally our three corps, number- ing 160,000 men and under the su- preme command of Sir John French, with Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien and 4 Brig.-Gen. Allenby under him, disem- barked and moved into Belgium to form the extreme left of the retreat- ing French line. We came into con- tact with the Germans first at Mons. ‘There our men fought blindly for two Gays o vastly superior force of Ger- mans. MODERN BATTLE M8 OVER- POWERINGLY UNREAL. * 1 cannot begin to describe to you what a modern battle is like. There fe an overpowering sense of unreal- ity about it, this business of secing men kill each other with perfect ma- chines of death. It seems mechanical because of the very preponderance of the machine element in the affai tee human element but bleeds and dies, while the machines continue in 7 their perfection of slaughtering. “The qpnduct of the English and Irish soldiers in the trenches was + There those men stood Behind shoulder-high mounds of dirt, facing level sprays of aeath in front yet cracking jokes and singing gmatches of music hall ballads be- tween volleys.

Gunners stand ready behind their pieces, keyed up to a wire pitch of efficiency, “Suddenly a spark appears in the heavens; it falls. The airman has discovered the position of a German battery, and his falling torch marks the range and the position. Instantly the British guns roar and a shower of shells soars up to follow the line of that falling star and smother the Germans with death. “The retreat of the British from Mons to Senlis was one lo: night- mare. No sleep for any one; no reat from Ahe trying of the German guns and cavalry. “Yet so stubborn was the spirit of the soldiers in the trenches that they rebelled against the order to retreat, failing to understand that the slow falling-back in the face of the Ger man advance was in accordance with | pre-arranged plans of the French and British. Sir John French even ox- {plained to some of the private sol- diers the reason for his orders to retreat. i “Gea. Von Kluck turned away trom Paris and to the southeastward not a day too Had he contin- ued on bis dri to Paris twelve hours longer, he would have been overwhelined by the fresh troops of Gen. Pau. “When our fo! reached Senlis we entrenched ourselves there for three days and then assumed the offensive against the Germans. We pushed back over the battlefields of the pre- ceding days and that > as the most terrible part of the two weeks fight- ing, for we passed over the fields of the unburied dead. The Germans had retreated so fast they attempted noth- Ing more than to take thier wounded with them, leaving their dead where they had fallen. “To my last day I will never get from mind the. picture of ghastly death those battlefields presented. “We picked up many English wounded who had been cared for by the Germans and left behind in their retreat, The English had nothing but praise of their treatment by the Germans, “During all the time I was with the army I saw no dumdum bullet and heard no story of German atrocity. “Gen. French {8 a general by rank and experience, but a private soldier at heart—a wonderful man! After during all day the heat and nerve rain of battle I have seen him at ight go through the field hospitals id talk with the wounded. ‘I have seen him sitting on the couch of a dying man, soothing his passing, or patting the shoulder of a man slightly wounded and telling him he was an honor to his country, “The soldiers idolize Gen.

Patterson of the Medical Corps, U. 8. A., in com- mand of the Red Cross expedition which arrived in England yesterday on board the hospital ship Red Cross, conferred to-day with Sir Arthur May, Chief Surgeon of the Royal Navy, concerning the disposition of the American Red Cross surgeons and nurses assigned to English service. Major Patterson to-night will con- fer with Lady Paget, Director of the American Wrimen's Hospital, near | Torquay. It is likely that Red Cross units will be assigned there or to the English hospital sbip, transferring In- jured/men from the Continent to the base hospitals in England. Mrs. Lewis Harcourt, who formerly was Miss Mary Burns of New York, and Mrs, Rutb Bryan Owen, daughter of Sec- retary of State Bryan, and the other American women who organized the Torquay Hospital are enthusiastic over the prospect of having American .| DUrses, surgeons And assistants there, Such service would be far pleasanter than work on @ ship constantly crosalfy the rough English Channel, but the American nurses and sur- eons are anxious to work where they are most needed, regardless of per- sonal discomfort.

Or sometimes it enters in @ blinding flash, like lightning. A Person in love is like a house lit up, anc, like a house, remains a ways seeks the individual) the latter doesn’t seek love. “Is there any other theory,” con- tinued Mrs. Tyler, “which will ac- count for the follies and vagaries of lovers?_ A man who shows impecca- ble goodysense in the choosing of his friends falls in love with some woman who 1s socially his inferior and men- tally and temperamentally fitted to make him miserable. Yet while his passion lasts there is no Sacrifice be won't make for her. LOVE I8 AN ENCHANTMENT, MAKES ALL BEAUTIFUL. = “Or a young woman, cultured and refined and charming, throws away her present and her future and brings misery upon her whole family for the sake of some worthless scamp who soon laughs at her devotion. “Even in the case of an uneventful courtship and marriage, the disinter- ested comment is most frequently, ‘T wonder what they can see in each other!’ All of which goes to show that love is not a state into which the individual consciously enters. It te an enchantment thrown upon him from outside, until, as with Titania, even the ears of an ass seem beautiful to him.” Mrs. Tyler's blue eyes grew sud- denly pitiful. They are very large, and she has the camellia skin and thick yellow hair which are 80 often found in their perfection below Mason and Dixon's line, where she was born and brought up. “If there were someone who knew even as much about love as has been discovered about electricity!” she sighed, “Then its going as well as ite coming might be controlled. Now the batteries slowly empty, and we can do nothing, That 1s especially the tragedy of woman.” wus GROWS MEN’S WINGS, eens CLIPS WOMEN’S. “You think love so much more !m- | portant to women than to men?” I asked, “Love sete men’s wings grow: ing; it clips the wings of women. To men love inspiration; te women it is subordination. 80, in a sense, love le more impor- tant to men. Yet because it spurs them on to make thelr lives fuller and richer, they mis it less when it goes, while women, whose lives are narrewed and confined by love, are left lcally helpless by ite de “But you speak of love's passing in such an assured way,” I protested. “Don't you believe that love may last, that constancy is neither a bogte nor an impossibility, but an attain- able ideal?” “Constancy is a question, not of love, but of temperament,” declared Mrs. Tyler. “The prosaic, matter-of- fact person may be constant to euch love as he comes to know, but I believe that the imaginative, sensi- tive, highly-strun;; individual will have a long succession of loves.” So be warned, girls! The busines man, even though he be tired and the Stock Exchange be closed, will make you a better husband than the poet. LOVE 18 NINE PARTS AGONY, ONE PART HAPPINESS. Another drawback to the imagina- tive lover is that he—or she—is, Prone to jealousy. At least, I should call it a drawback, although Mrs, Tyler maintains that jealousy is the food of love: “A wite whe levee and whe has imagination continually ter- with 1 plo / h os E ap eos RAM yO PAA Ny “Love Sete Men’s Wings Growing; It Clipe the Wings of Women. “Constancy Ie a Qu but of Temperament. “Love Ise Nine-tenths Agony to One- tenth Happiness. “The Infallible Test of Love Is the Willingness to Forgive. “The Highest Form of Love ‘Ie a Min- gling of Complete Sympathy With the Passion to Protect—The Physical Element of Desire Is Almost Negli- gible in Love of This Sort, Which Will Be the Love of the Future.”’ By Marguerite Mooers Marehall. “It te desire tempered with reverence,” saye George Boarborough, the dramatist.
