GERMANS TRAPPED AT

CHARLEVILLE,

A correspondent describes a lively affair at Charleville, near Mezieres. The French destroyed twenty-two bridges over the Meuse, leaving three enticingly intact, but mined. The Germans crossed into the town and the bridges were then blown up, thereby entrapping the Germans, whe were exposed to a withering fire from quick firers and guns posted on the neighbouring heights. A sheer massacre ensued among the flower gardens. The Germans fonght furiously autil reinforce

ments arrived.

It was in Charleville that the French Army was entrapped in 1870, the result of a manenvro by the Germans, leading to the disaster of Sedan.

THE HARVESTERS.

Paris, August 22nd. Rural France is making a valiant struggle to harvest its crops. Only old or crippled man and women are working in the fields. The men have gone, the horses have disappeared, part of the cattle have been driven off and the, ians are closed.

At Etretat, on the Norman coast, out of a population of 1,900, only thirty-four men are left, and there is not a horse in the place excepting a few old animals. Americans have a large number of villas there, and instead of goling and playing tennis these wealthy people are working in the fields and orchards, cheering up the peasants.

· SOME HUMANE INCIDENTS.

In spite of the feraccity of the fighting in France, pleasing incidents are reported of the co-operation of the British and German Medical Corps on the battlefield. Both sides have exchanged drugs, and an instance is reported where a British sur geon operated on a German soldier with the assistance of a Gorman anaesthetist.

THE HELIGOLAND NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.

German official accounts pay a hand some tribute to British gallantry at the Heligoland encounter in saving the wounded. A statement says that the British, without attempting to consider their own safety, launched life-borts to save the Germans.

The sailors who took part in the fight confirm the experience of the soldiers that destroyer had five shells in her boiler many German shells failed to burst. One room "We just shied them overboard, said a stoker.
