BATTLE OF
IVIONS
NEW YORK. A vivid description v
the battle before Mens was given her
by 1 >r Neville Hopkins of Washingtoi
D. C. upon his arrival on the steam
ship Kroonland from Liverpool.
Dr. Hopkins was in Moscow, ttussii
with his family when the war broke nu
He immediately offered his ser\ ices t
the Red Cross division of the Frenc
army and they were accepted. H
went to the front Aug. 24. From tlia
time until he started for New York h
was constantly under tire.
“I was first under fire while 1 ha
the head of a wounded French soldie
; on my lap dressing a gapping woun
in the Jaw.” said Dr Hopkins. "Shrop
nel burst overhead, but none of th
missiles hit either of us. For an hou
after that 1 was under tire, and th
noise and the sights of the battleflel
almost resulted In my complete physi
• enl collapse.
T saw hundreds of men torn t
pieces in a few seconds. Horses wer
wiped from sight by the terrific artil
i lery fire. The slaughter w as tenibb
I Fully 5,000 Germans were killed in th
charge. Riderless and wounded horse
dashed in all directions
"During the retreat from Mons. at i
place near Cambral. 1 saw the Englis'
cavalry ride up to support their in
fnntry It was a wonderful sight Tie
men seemed to be a part of the horses
They galloped like mad. and hundred'
of the brave fellows were killed. But
they drove back the Germans
“Nothing can describe what a battle
field is like, under such conditions Th.
dead hodies of men and horses li
everywhere, piled on top of each other
The noise Is so great that it is Impos
slide to make yourself heard, even if
you shout at the top of your lungs Into
a man's ear The only way to com
municate is by signs”
