"IT WAS VERITABLE CARNAGE "
THE CAVALRY TO THE RESCUE (Received October 1, 8.30 a.m.) PARIS, 30th^September. A wounded soldier states that when the infantry were held up at the en- • tanglements in the Champagne, the cavalry came to the rescue. It was the first chance the Dragoons and Chasseurs had had for months, and they were determined to make up for lost time. It was a magnificent dash. The Bosches, hunted on all sides, bolted, scattering an unimaginable quantity of material. The flight turned to panic when the Africans went into them with the bayonet and inflicted appalling losses. None stood up to them. It was veritable carnage.
