MARCHING TO PARIS.

GERMANS' VAINGLORIOUS BOAST. THE FRENCHMAN AND HIS DOG. "Time*'' and "Sydney Suit," Sf'rrieei. (Received October 2, 8 a.m.) LONDON, October 1. A German .Commandant's letter which has been found says: — "We are marching gloriously and irresistibly .to Paris. We would have preferred a resistance, and to enter Paris as conquerors, instead of ii mere parade, but French " valour" has decreed otherwise. In a week's time we shall be drinking beer on the Boulevards."

A French bullet brought the Commandant's march to Paris to an abrupt ending. A wounded Frenchman who was lying on the Marue battlefield was surprised to feel a wet caress on his face. It proved to be the regimental pet dog, which was trained to cany the kepis of the wounded back to headquarters. He told the dog to bring help, and he returned, guiding the ambulance. The clog goes into the firing line, and when the fighting is hot, digs a hole and buries himself. • .irittimSiiSl
