BRTSH ARMEN'S FLIGHTS 67/000 MILES SNE WAR BEGAN, GEN. FRENCH SAYS Tells of Trenches Captured and Prisoners Taken In Daily Action, and Describes German Ways of Fighting Day by Day. LONDON, Oct. 9.

Two of their trenches were captured and filled tn. Our loss was six men wounded. “Up to Sept. $1 the air mileage made by our airmen since the beginning of the war amounted to 87,000 miles, an average of 2,000 miles per day, the total equalling nearly four times the otreutt of the world. The total time epent in the air was 1,400 hours. “There are many points connected with the fighting methods of either siée that may be of interest. The following description was fiven by a battalion commander who has been at the front since the commencement of hostilities and has fought poth in the open and behind !ntrenchments. | te must, however, be borne in mind that it only represents the experience | of @ particular unit.

The German officers are skilled in leading troops forward under cover in closed Bodies, but once the latter are de- ployed and there is no longer the di- rect, personal leadership, the men will not face heavy fire. “Sometimes the advance is made in @ series of Hines with the men well opened out at intervals of five or six paces; at others it ls made in lines with the men almost shoulder to shoulder, But it is followed in all cases by supports in close formation. ‘The latter efther waver when the front line is checked, or crowd onto it in moving forward under the orders of thelr officers ana the mass forms & magnificent target. ~ “Prisoners have described the fire ‘of opp troops as plrining them to the grdund, and thie is certainly borne | out by their actions, “When the Germans are not heav- * tty entrenched no gr curred ip advancing methods in which the British army has been instructed.

LONDON, Oct. 9 (Associated Press) —The American Embassy in London is very anxtous to hear from Consul- General Henry W. Diedrich and Vice Consul Harry T. Sherman of the Ameri- can Consulate at Antwerp. Ambassa- dor Walter H. Page telegraphed several times to Antwerp to find eut where they are, but he has received no reply. Hu S._ Gibson, Secretary of tho American Legation at Brussels, and Harold Fowler, attached to the Em- nt from London to and were to ad- 4s 600n as they left Antwerp for Brussels. No reply so far has been received from them. The Embassy here sent a telegram to the American Consulate at Ostend, but the officiala there know nothing about the misaing members of the Antwerp Con- sulate. ———__— FIRST DAY OF REGISTRATION.

Von Buelow, with ,200,000 men, thirty miles southeast of Von Kluck, was making a similar advance. Finding there was a big gap between him and Von Buelow, Von Kluck tried to close It by turning in a southerly direction. Joffre had 50,000 men in Paris, of whom Von Kluck knew nothing. Just after the turning move was made these men were launched at the German flank. Along the River Marne, with Meaux as their centre, the allies were awaiting the advance of the German armies, those of the King of Wurt- temberg, the Crown Prince of Saxony and the Crown Prince of Germany being to the southeast of Von Buelow. Simultaneously the 50,000 from Paris and the 200,00 allies along the Marne attacked Von Kluck’s army, which was advancing in wedge formn- tion. The retreat of the Germans resulted. ‘This map was drawn for Bvening World reporter by Capt. Levert Coleman, U. 8. A., who wit ed the battle and was in the trenches of the allies at Meauz.
