GERMAN TRENCHES STORMED BY IRISH GUARDS.
A wounded non-commissioned officer stated yesterday that in the battle of the Marne the Irish Guards were selected to dislodge the enemy commanding a posi tion.
The guards got within 1,200 yards of the Germans when shrapnel rained un them. He added: "We made a run for it and reached a little knoll within 800 yards of the German position. The enemy maintained a heavy rifle fire. Leaving a fores to hold the knoll the rest of the battalion erept round the Germans' left. At one point we had to rush under' fire of our own guns as well as the enemy's. Gradually we edged towards the German-trenches, Then the whole battalion lined up within 200 yards for a full rush. The enemy god desperate and a ridge was crowned with their machine guns firing continuously...... We fixed bayonets and charged, while the enemy concentrated a fiendish fire upon us. With

THE DESPOT.
The German Humanity League has issued an appeal to the civilised world from Rotterdam. It states: The inevit- able end of the war must be the deposition of the despot whose true aims and charac ter have been nakedly revended to the whole world. As mon passionately de- voted to the fatherland we aver that it is the bounden duty of every man caring for the welfare of mankind to join bands in arresting the Kaiser and the men around him responsible for the appalling crimes of the last five weeks. The fasting interests of the German wage-earners can only be served by the victory of the Allies. Prussian domination in Ger- many must be crushed and swept away for
ever.
