Be Strong AN IRISH CHARGE ON THE SOMME. DASH THROUGH A VILLAGE. ENGLISH TROOPS FINISH THE WORK. (From a Special Correspondent.) With the British Abmy in the Field, Saturday. The first mention that the Irish troops were fighting at Guillemont has been made officially, and it is now possible for me to write about them in more detail.

Their charge through Guillemont last Sunday, with English battalions of Riflemen on their right? was one of the most astonishing feats of the war, almost too fast in its impetuosity. They went forward with their pipes playing them on in a wild and irresistible assault. If there had oeen three times the number of enemy against thejn they would not have been checked until they had, carried the northern part of the ruined waste that was once a village. The English troops who fought with them tell me that they have never seen anything like the way in which these Irishmen dashed ahead. "It was like a human avalanche," said one of them.

They stormed the first, second, and third German lines through the upper part of the village, sweeping all re-sistanco away and not stopping to take breath. They were men uplifted out of themselves. Death had no terror for them, nor all the dead men who lay in their way. After months of dull and dogged fighting in the trenches, where they had been restless in their ditches, they were excited at getting out into the open and meeting the enemy face to face. It was not good to be a German in their way.

The only fault with their fighting at Guillemont was the rapidity of pace, which gave them no time to safeguard the ground behind them. But it was a fault due to the splendour of their gallantry, and no harm came from it. The English riflemen who tought on their right had more solidity in their way of going about the business," but they were so inspired by the sight of the Irish dash and by the sound of the Irish pipes that those who were in support under orders to stand and hold the first German line could Hardly be restrained from following on. A Model of Method and Spirit. "I nearly blew mv teeth nut ua v.

-111 whistling era back," said one English sergeant. But discipline prevailed. The whole wck irom aret to last was a model of offi. ciency, organisation, and courage. All the uUe mat go to the making of victory were herf fif; ui "icn each other.

balancing each other, making a teS weapon drivon leiy was in perfect union with the in-fantry-the most difficult thing in war 1 we oracors carried out tho general plan to mon-it is impossible to over tl.e 7 fi.7 couraSc wonderful in dwapline. As far fts the English Utta 10ns were concerned, they were men recruited since the first phase of the war iheir offls-once of tne Guards told me yesterday, there are no regular soldiers, no soldiers of nv army in the world, who could- have attacked in a hner and 'more disciplined way than these young riflemen. The first rush of Irish on the left and centre went over with a headlong rush. The assaulting troops on the right went more quietly, and at the first short halt to wait tor the barrage of our guns, which was smashing ahead of them, lit their cicarettes, and then they went on again with their rifles slung as though marching on a field-day. "Where's the village we've got to take?" they shouted, staring at a choppy' sea of shell craters where there was hardly a stick or a stone.

Strange things happened between the first and second lines. The Irish on the left who had gone so quickly forward had failed to clear up all the dug-outs as they went. Some of the Germans there climbed out and began sniping in tho rear. It was a dangerous menace, but with quick judgment the colonel of an English battalion on the right diverted the firo of his platoons to that direction, and they searched all the dug-outs and broke up tho enemy attempt to rally. TwentyOne Prisoners Taken in One DugOut.

One dug-out near quarry at the central entrance of Guillemont was discovered hy a young artillery officer who had como down behind the advancing infantry "just to look round," as he puts it, after he had done his work with some 60-pounder plum-pudding bombs- from the neighbouring position. With him were his corporal and one or two other men of tho trench-mortar battcrv. In looking round he discovered a slit in the rock which seemed to lead down into an underground chamber, and, having explored it, ho came down into a deep place where -0 German soldiers and one officer were hiding. It was a surprise, hut he held his revolver ready and said "Hands up!" They surrendered quietly, clicking their heels together and saluting. After they had been searched for arms the officer, who was a polite fellow, offered the corporal a gold watch as a souvenir of the occasion.

That was one little adventure on the edge of things. Further forward' each man was iu the middle of a great adventure, gruesome and full of peril. An enveloping movement was being made by the English troops to the south-west of the village on the choppy ground on which Guillemont once stood, and it was here, between two6unken reads, that most opposition was encountered. In the L-nrtnnl cunlrATl mnH wllPTA tbp pflPmr linrl .1 row of strong dug-outs, the ground was thick ,1 1 i jii i 1 i 11. i witn nuaciieu aeuu.

In the ground between tne snnuen roads men climbed half-way out of shell craters and sniped our men as they came forward. At the same time machine-gun fire was. comipg down from Ginchy and up from Falfemont Farm. It was difficult ground 'to cover, but our Riflemen ignored the bullets and the bombs and went straight forward, halting only to fire, then going on firing again as though on manoeuvres.

Some Lewis gunners ran forward and played a hose, of bullets upon the enemy's parapet so that the Germans dropped. Some of our own men had fallen too, but the wounded crawled into shell-holes to get out of the way arid shouted, "Go on, boys!" or just crawled in silently and, uncomplainingly, not asking for help however bad their wounds A Swift Then the Germans started running, and our men went after them. One fellow flung off his. pack and chased them as. though in a race, and caught one of them by the neck.

A German officer who surrendered threw up his hands and said If you run like that you'll be in Berlin before we're in There were 150 dead in one part of the sunken road; NEARER LEMBERG. RUSSIANS IN THE FORTS OF HALICZ. (Reuteii's Cobrespondent.) Petbogkad, Saturday. The Russky Slovo states that the enemy has begun to blow up the forts of Halicz still in his hands. Some of the forts have been occupied by the Russians.

The great bridge agross tho Dniester has been blown up. The Russians hold the left bank of the river, and are heavily shelling the retreating enemy. Two railway trains have been wrecked by the Russian fire. (Wireless Press.) Petrograd, Saturday Afteiixoon. To-day's official report says Western Front.

A Germano-Turkish counter-attack on the river Naraiovka, in the direction of Halicz, was repelled by our fire. In this area stubborn fighting continues. Sunday Afternoon. The following official report was issued to-day Western Front. A group of seven German aeroplanes flew over the region of the Kovel-Rovische railway line.

One of our aviators. Staff Cavalry Captain Kazakov, engaged two of the machines in successive encounters, forcing them to take flight. From one of them a long column of smoke was seen to be issuing. ENEMY REPORTS. Yesterday's -German -official report, as received from the Wireless Press, is as follows Eastern Theatre of War.

Apart from repeated and fruitless attacks by the Russians against our Bavarian troops near Stara Czerwiszcze, on the Stokhad, the situation remains unchanged from the sea to the Car pathians. (Reutbb's Correspondent.) Amsterdam, Saturday. To-day's Berlin report says: Army Group of Prince Leopold of is nothing new to report. Army Group of Archduke Charles. Repeated Russian attacks between the Zlota Li pa and the Dniester yesterday were again uhsuccess ful.

During a counter-attack we repulsed enemy detachments which had entered our trenches. Hostile forces on the front of the Moslem troops were thrown back beyond their own trenches. We captured over a thousand prisoners and several machine-guns. (Press Association Wab Special.) Amsterdam, Saturday. To-day's official report published in Vienna says Army Front of Archduke Charles.

In East Galicia, south-east and south, of Brzezany yesterday the enemy again attempted to break through our lines, but was everywhere re and sustained heavy losses. The conspicuous gallantry of Ottoman troops fighting in this region must be especially emphasised. In these engagements the enemy lost a thousand men taken prisoners, and five machine-guns. Army Front of Prince Leopold of Bavaria. The situation is unchanged.

ATTACKS ON ITALIAN TRENCHES SOME GROUND LOST AND RECOVERED. Yesterday's Italian official report is as follows On the Trehtino front artillery action was more pronounced. Unimportant attacks against our positions on the Malga Zugna (Vallasa), on the Asiago Plateau, and on Monte CauViol (Avisio) were repulsed. At Dolge, in the Tolmino sector, after pre: paration with hand grenades, the enemy attempted to break through our lines, but was immediately driven back. On the Lower Isonzo there was considerable artillery activity, and we used trench mortars with good effect.

A few enemy shells fell on Gorizia, Romano, and Monfalcone, but without doing damage. Enemy aircraft dropped bombs on positions in the tsugana Valley, wounding two eoldiers only. Saturday's Italian official ieporfc says: In Val.Arsa (Adige Valley), on the evening' of the 7th, a strong enemy detachment, after intense bombardment, attacked the positions between Monte Spil and Monte Corno and succeeded in breaking through some of our trenches. A counter-attack gave us back -the greater part of the lost ground, inflicting on the enemy heavy losses and taking twenty prisoners. In the Tofana 'zone we repulsed an attack against the position in the Travenanzes Valley taken by our Alpine troops on the 7th.

On the remainder of the front only artillery actions took place. Our batteries shelled the station of St. Lucia, Tolmino, where considerable train movements had been observed. Last night, in spite of bad weather, one of our airships reached the Duino-Trieste. railway and dropped 600 kilogrammes of explosive on the line.

AUSTRIAN REPORT. (Press Association Wab Special.) Amsterdam, Saturday. To-day's official report issued in Vienna! says: i Italian Theatre of War. Yesterday afternoon enemy's cannonade on the front between Monte Santi and the sea was livelier. On, the Tyrolean front, the Italians unsuccessfully' shelled several sectors', Enemy patrols and detachments attempting to advance in some places were repulsed.

An Italian airship dropped bombs hear Nabresina, but no damage was done. In the south theatre of war there is no change. AN OBJECTOR'S DEATH. CONDITIONS AT DYCE CAMP. Mr.

Fenner Brockway, secretary of the No-' Conscription Fellowship, sends the following particulars as to the death on Friday of Mr. W. L. Roberts, of Bredbury, near Stockport, one of the party of 250 conscientious, objectors released from prison to work under the Home Office scheme at the camp at Dyce, near Aberdeen. Mr.

Roberts was denied all exemntions bv tho tribunals, was arrested, court-martialled for retusmg to ottey oraers, ana was- sentenced to four months1 imprisonment. He caught a cold at Dyce, which developed into influenza, and on Thursday be was so weak that doctor; gave instructions that he must not be He died 'on Friday before the' doctor and the ambulance summoned from the Royal Infirmary, Aberdeen, could reach him. The Committee representing the conscientious objectors at Dyce have a statement' complaining of the conditions there. They state that, the men, sent straight from: prison, do ten hours, work in a quarry every day. They are accommodated in bellptehts dating from the year 1902, which have been-condemned by the' sanitary authority of the Scottish Local Government Board.

S. they state, 2 men have been in the hands of the doctor, and six nave been -totally i v- and the dug-outs- were crowded. Into one of them-a 'smoke bomb was thrown to tease the men out, but they would not come. Then a Mills bomb -was flung in as a stronger argument, but before it exploded it was flung back again. After that the Germans retreated through a tunnel and ran out at another entrance, where they were taken prisoners.

Twenty-five of them were put intna.sheil-crater under the guard of one little Rifleman, who strutted up and down in a German helmet, with his bayonet above his head and a pride twice as high as his bayonet. In one dug-out there were many I D'tuies, with only three living men, ana tnose were weeping. All the prisoners, of whom there were about 600, were in a pitiful condition, as our artillery fire had prevented them from getting any rations for three days. Their spirit was broken and they were" trembling with fear. In the dug-outs further back were three officers, one of a young captain, was clearly, in command of the whole garrison of Guillemont.

Afterwards, -when we passed the prisoners' cage behind the lines, all the men. sprang up and saluted him with profound respect. He was tho only man who maintained a proud indifference at the moment of capture. He stood very straight and. still, as though not caring whether he lived or died.

The two officers with him clung about the necks of our own officers crying for mercy. In place an officer fell down on his knees with his hands in an attitude of prayer and 'his head bowed. Ono man pulled out a photograph of his wife and children, holding that out as his strongest plea for life. WelMSehaved Captives. Our men had no thought to take their lives.

As one of the sergeants said to me As soon as a man surrenders it's an end of the fight, and. I'm' sorry for him." It was hard for some of our men to be sorry for the enemy in those wild moments about the dug-outs, for some of them flung bombs until the last yard had been covered by our troops, then disappeared into their holes, and came up 11 nan A an1 meekness. In one or two bad cases of fighting alter a sign ot surrender it was the authority of the British officers which saved the lives of the German soldiers. But on the whole the prisoners were well-behaved and very glad to get away from ths horror of Guillemont, grateful for bpin.fr nrivnn iVtn rhnnna nf Mfo Onp f-J J- v.w sergeant of ours, hitln the hip by a piece of sneii, capuireci lour men without neip, ana then ordered them to carry him back on a stretcher to the dressing station, where he arrived smokinc a citrarettp with his urisoner stretcher-bearers. In quiet heroism of the suffering and not of th fighting kind it seems to.

me that the finest thing was done by a wounded man. That at least is the opinion of a commanding officer who met him on his way. His face had been rprrihlir cmncVinH Vitt jl tippo nf shell, but he waved back the stretcher-bearers with a sign that others needed carrying more than he did. Then, a solitary and ghastly figure, he walked back to the dressing station and laid himself down. German Garrison Destroyed.

Of the German garrison of 2,000 men hardly one escaped. That number have been accounted for in wounded, and prisoners. Two German battalions have thus been wiped Among them were men who wore the word "Gibraltar" on their shoulder-straps, beloncinz to the famous Hanoverian regiment which fought side by side with us on the Rock in the eighteenth century. It was after the bat.tlp that mr men suffered most, for during the next 48 hours there were violent storms which filled the shell-craters with water) that the men were up to their shoulders in it. But they had dug magnificently before the rain came under the inspiration of a splendid colonel, who cried, Dig! Dig, for God's sake! Dig, my lads!" knowing, that he would save lives by every foot of earth turned up with the German shovels they used for the work.

In three hours they had dug an eight-inch trench in the village, and it saved them from the worst effects of the enemv's barrage which followed heavilv. So was Guillemont taken and held, not only by great gunfire, but by men inspired with a spirit beyond their, ordinary courage, and one day these troops will carry the name upon their colours so that the world mav remember. iCopyright.) south africaFnatives FOR FRANCE. 10,000 DOCK LABOURERS TO BE SENT. (Recteb's Corkespondent.) Pretoria, Friday.

A scheme for a native labour contingent for Europe was announced to-day. General Botha, in the course of a message to the natives, pays tribute to the good work they have done in South Africa, South-west Africa, and East Africa, assisting in the prosecution of hostilities. He says natives have often expressed, a desire to be allowed to help overseas, and that accordinglv, at the request of the Imperial Government, it has been arranged for five battalions, each of 2,000 men, to proceed to France to do dock labour. General Botha emphasises the exact conditions of recruitinz. It must, ho rvs ho explained to the natives that they will form a uiuikaiv uuiu.uuuu ujiuuiry discipline, nut that they will not take part in the fighting.

They will be housed in closed compounds. Each battalion will be under the direct control of most highly trusted officers, who will see to the welfare and comfort of the natives, and take such steps as are necessary to avoid possible ill-effects on the natives of employment under strange conditions. Each battalion will have its chaplain and its own medical officers, and a fully equipped hospital will be provided for the contingent. ELECTROCUTION FROM A STREET LAMP. AN ALARMING ACCIDENT.

An alarming story of electrocution from a public street lamp was told at Hebburn on Saturday at an inquest on George Dickson, a munition worksr, aged 21. Robert Turcell, a plater's helper, said that on Wednesday he and Dickson were walking on a footpath near the cemetery at when Dickson touched an electric-lamp standard. He was drawn with his arms around it and his knees against it. The witness tried to release him, but the. power threw him.

to tho other side of the road. He then struck. Dickson's feet from underneath him, which caused him to fall. The witness pulled him away, but he. was then dead.

The assistant engineer of the Newcastle Electric Company said, that the current through the standard had caused by one of. the' cable wires getting into contact with the switch-chamber at the top of the standard. The vibration of the road traffic might have caused the wire to come in cohtadt; A verdict of accidental death was; returned, and the Jury expressed the hope 'that the company would do all they could to prevent similar accidents."

CHARGES OF TREASON IN SOUTH AFRICA. GENERAL DE WET A LOYALIST WITNESS. (Retjter's Correspondent.) Bloemfontein, Friday. Details of the attempt to foment a second rebellion in South Africa, of which mention was first made by General' Botha at the South.

African Party Congress held here on August 23, came to light to-day in the course of proceedings in the magistrates' court, when two men, named Van der Merwc and Schonken were charged with high treason. Mr. Schonken was formerly a prominent partisan of the Nationalist party in Witwaters. and General Christian de Wet, in the course of giving evidence, said that when Mr. Schonken approached him in the matl about July 20, the witness warned him not to have anything to do with another rising.

Mr. Van der Merwe, General De Wet added, told him later that the movement was so well organised that Johannesburg and Pretoria could be taken afc could ba seized. To Mr. Van der Merwe also General De Wet turned a cold shoulder. Further sensational, evidence A Bloemfontein -farmer Mr.

Van der Merwe mentioned him. the names of prominent Boer generals who, he alleged, had undertaken to organise a rebellion in the Cape Province, Potcfaefstroom, and Pretoria. The witness understood from what was said that the rebellion was to break out in the event of England beirg defeated in the war. One witness named Lootz declared, after he had taken the oath of secrecy, that Mr. Schonken told him that more rifles than people in the Another witness from Bloemfontein said that: he asked Mr.

Schonken whether ha had's'e'eh the' public- warning against sedition which had been issued in the Transvaal by the -Nationalist party "leader, Mr. Til-man Roos.i and in the. Orange State by General Hertzog. To this Mr. Schonken made no reply.

The accused were remanded for a week. FAMOUS BATSMAN KILLED. LIEUTENANT K. L. HUTCHINQS.

Lieutenant Kenneth L. Hutchings, the famous Kent and' All-England, cricketer, is unofficially reported' killed in action. Lieutenant Hutching? belonged to the Liverpool.

aids M. ZAIMIS AND THE KING. (From G. J. Stevens, Special Correspondent of the Press Association and vaim Athens, Friday (Delayed).

Soon after the movement in Salonika M. Zaimis sent an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to M.

Zaimis's 'Cabinet, but also to place-his cwn personal influence and weight with the Entente at the disposal of the Government.

It was agreed that a private meeting should be arranged in which M. Venizelos and M. Zaimis would discuss the situation. the meantime what was considered as a thn rmrt of the Kins to revise his policy of neutrality was brought to the know-lcge of the Ministers of the Entente, who, wishing to ascertain the facts for asked for and obtained separate audiences at tho Palace. It appears that in tnese Cnnstnntine was very reticent and only to one of the Ministers expressed his disposition to revise ins aramae neutrality towards Bulgaria, maintaining, other resDocts his standpoint.

The result of the audiences was considered by M. Venizelos to be not so encouraging as M. Zaimis's message had led him to suppose, and hence the arranged meeting did not take ulace. M. Zaimis, however, again sent word to M.

Venizelos that he should exercise patience and restrain his party from taking any further action to impose it's policy, on the ground that M. Zaimis was still hopeiui or bringing the King round to the views and programme of the Liberal party, to which he himself had now acceded. He added the information that ho had already taken certain steps with the Allied Orovernments through the Greek diplomatic representatives. Although the Liberals entertained doubts whether in the negotiations that will ensue as a consequence of the steps adopted hy the Government the necessary sincerity and mode ration will be brought into the training of proposals and conditions, and while they further suspected an intention to delay matters', they acceded to the request to stay tneir hands tor a limited time. A truce has thus been arranged for the moment.

Illegal Leagues. Athens, Saturday. It is announced to-day that strict orders have been issued to suppress by force aiiy further action by the Leagues of Reservists. The latter, with the approval and encourage. ment of the Gounarist press, had constituted themselves as a police in the country, searching private houses under the pretence of looking for arms -which they alleged the Venizelists were hiding for the purpose of making a revolution.

in reality their object was to create disturbances in favour of the anti- Venizelists. The Athcnai states that the Reservists will hold a mcetine to-morrow against the measures decreed against them by the Government; but this is considered unlikely, as the gendarmery and police have been strengthened by a Greelr-marine force Drought in last night from Salamis Arsenal OUTRAGE AT THE.
