THE TREACHEROUS ENEMY

HOW. TROOPS ARE MURDERED ON TUB WESTERN FRONT. • .' ' ■ London, August 8. Sir. Raymond Carroll, a correspondent ■with tho" Americans, describes how the Germans niurdor troops in tho evacuated territory. -Bulbs and bladders filled with phosgene gas were found in buildings and dug-outs and under helmets and in loaves of bread. When touched they exploded. A captain was approaching an hotel when a German olhcer walked oui and offered (o surrender. The American covered him with a, revolver and jumped aside, barely in time to escape a rain of bullets from a machine-gun hidden in a cellar in an abandoned hospital. The enemy left rolls of crepe paper, which has taken the place of cloth dressings. The remains of burned harness showed that it was of a composition of paper and hemp. Many abandoned motor-cars were- fitted with iron tyres. Tho flames of the burning German ammunition dumps are so bright' that it is almost possible, to read a newspaper by the light. The whole horizon at night is a succession of gigantic red patches, with occasional roare of exploding ammunition. Millions of dollars' worth of supplies ha-vo been destroyed.—Aus.-N.Z, Cablo Aesn.
