MONS ARTILLERY FIRE AN INFERNO British Soldier, Wounded There, Tells of German Attack on Allies. ROUT OF KAISER'S MEN CLAIMED "Tommy Atkins" Draws a Vivid ture of the British Charge on Advancing Prussians. London, September 1-The following story of the fighting near Mons was told to an Express reporter by one of the British wounded, who was brought here Monday: "We had left the shelter of a little forest and opened out, supported by the North Country Regiment. Our colonel warned us that the German infantry was advancing.

"We had hardly extended ourselves prone along the grass when patches of blue and green were seen on the skyline and soon battalions of the enemy were made out, following each other at regular intervals. "Our batteries let rip and gouged holes through them. shouted my platoon commander as he watched through his glasses. "Now the order was given to fix bayonets. Before the enemy arrived the artillery fire had increased until it was an inferno.

German aviators were directing their guns and at times we fired on aeroplanes, but our shots were ineffective. Our poor gunners had an awful time, as the German cavalry got around behind us and charged right up to the guns. Very the Germans escaped, however, for whole platoons rushed to the rescue, emptying their magazines as they ran. "A moment later Germans were on us from the front. We let them come until their breasts rose above the neighboring hillock and then decimated them.

They fell back in confusion and dropped ca to the ground. "Another line came, which we treated the same way. Scores of machine guns were turned on us, however, and we were ordered to prepare to charge. the word of command we sprang from the ground as one man and with yell after yell charged the advancing Prussians. As we neared their ranks we fired indiscriminately and only a few remained to cross bayonets with vs.

The remainder rushed off and were shot in the back as they went. They left more than half their regiment on the field in killed and wounded." English Employ a Trick Learned in South Africa. Wounded men in the hospitals of Boulogne related to the Express correspondent there incidents of the fighting between the British and Germans. One of the men, he says, told of a trick which the British learned in the Boer War and which worked very well against the Germans. The story of the incident follows: "The enemy, before sending their infantry against our positions, opened a hot artillery fire.

Our artillery replied, at first warmly, and then gun after gun of the British batteries went silent. "'What's up I asked a comrade. There were a few minutes more of artillery firing from the Germana and then their infantry came on in solid formation. We received them with rifle fire. Still they came on, and still we mowed them down.

They were getting closer and we could plainly see the dense masses moving. Then suddenly the whole of our artillery opened fire. "You see, they had not been silenced at all and it was a trick to draw the Germans on. They went down in whole fields for our guns got them in had enough. It was co impossible for open ground and of course they soon those behind to come up past the dead." A Times dispatch from Paris, speaking of the fighting in the North, says: "Throughout the fighting of the last few days swarms of aeroplanes have circled in the sky.

"The enemy's supply arrangements are reported to have broken down, their men in some cases subsisting on the flesh of horses. The British transport service is working admirably. The spirits British and French troops are excellent." REV. MR. BROCKINTON DIES IN ADVERSITY Was Once Assistant Pastor of Central Presbyterian Church.

After barely eking out a miserable existence for many years, the Rev. John S. Brockinton, formerly a brilliant preacher and a college graduate, died yesterday afternoon in a little attic room in a frame house at 1115 Sixty -eighth street, at the age of 65 years. Mr. Brockinton's life had been composed of a series of misfortunes.

At one time he was assistant pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church, under Dr. John F. Carson, and has occupied other well known pulpits. After he had lost out in all of his ministerial work through dissensions in his congregations and other misfortunes, he finally was reduced to selling tea and coffee from which he earned scarcely 25 cents a day. When he was 63 years old he was evicted from his home at 1217 Sixty -eighth street, and was forced to spend the whole night in a nearby empty lot.

Neighbors who were moved to compassion at his condition took up a collection of $200, and that, together with some aid obtained through The Eagle, enabled him to find a roof under which he could live for his remaining days. Born here in 1849, he obtained his education in Davidson College, in North Carolina, where he was graduated, and was elected to Phia Beta Kappa, the honorary scholarship fraternity, Then he went through Union Theological Seminary and started upon his career as a minister. After occupying several small country pastorates, including one at Speonk, L. he came to Brooklyn, and became the assistant of the Rev. Dr.

Burrell in the Classon Avenue Presbyterian Church. Then his misfortunes began. Four out of his five children died, and finally after he had become prator of the Lefferts Park Church a serous dissension resulted in his leaving the denomination. Although broken In spirit, he made a struggle to start a Union Congregational church near his little garret home, but without avail. Faced with a heavy second mortgage, which had to be paid, he wore himself out selling teas and coffees, but was unable to raise the necessary money.

It was then, on August 10, 1912, that he was driven from his home. Death was the result of an Illness of several months, culminating in stroke of paralysis. He is survived by his wife one child. ANNA A. BACH, 32 years of age, died yesterday at the residence of her father, Atlantic and New Jersey avenues, and the funeral services will be held Thursday morning her late, home; thence to St.

Michael' Church 10 o'clock. The interment will be in John's Cemetery, GERMANS AGAIN BOMBARD MALINES Reports of Damage From First Attack on City Now Declared Exaggerated. FAMOUS LANDMARKS NOT GONE. German Garrison in Brussels Much Reduced -Few of Kaiser's Troops Left at La Fere. London, September 1-A dispatch to the Reuter Telegram Company from Antwerp gives the latest official communication issued there.

It says: "The situation throughout the country is stationary. Germans have evacuated Aerschot and railway communication has been restored over the great part of the Campine country. "Malines was bombarded for an hour, although the town was not occupied by Belgian troops." A dispatch to the Post from Antwerp says that the Germans have evacuated the province Antwerp, presumably as part of their scheme for the withdrawal of unnecessary troops who will be used to replace those taken for service against Russia. Part of the forces in the province of Limburg have also been withdrawn. The Chronicle's Antwerp correspondent, who has just visited Malines, says: "The recent reports of the disastrous effect of the German bombardment of that city were greatly exaggerated.

It is true that about eighty houses were destroyed, but the tower of the Cathedral of St. Rombaut and other famous landmarks are undamaged. "The cellars and underground passages are still filled with refugees who are unwilling to come out, although the bombardment ceased long ago." A dispatch to the Reuter Telegram Company from Amsterdam says that the Brussels correspondent of the Algemeen Handelsblad gives the following description of the situation in Brussels: "The German garrison in Brussels now numbers not over 10,000 men. Batteries of field guns and rapid firers guard the streets and German sentinels are posted at all the public buildings. The Duke Brunswick, the German of Governor of Belgium, has taken possession of the royal palaces at Laeken, where he is receiving and feeding a large company.

"The German aeroplanes and Zeppelins are making their headquarters at the flying grounds of Berchem, St. Agathe. Monday a German Zeppelin while flying above Aachen caught fire and crashed to earth, killing the pilot. 3. The scarcity of the supply is beginning to be telt." Belgians Say There Are Few Germans in Brussels.

Paris, September 1-Belgians who are constanty arriving in Paris say that the Germans have only from 2,000 to 3,000 men in Brussels and that it is very easy to get in and out of the city. North of Brussels there nave been constant minor engagements, Belgians from Antwerp harassing the German rear. Refugees from Laon, a few miles from La Fere, say that there a are no Germans there. Many retugees nave also arrived from La Fere and Guise, where there was sharp fighting yesterauy. A mother auu ner inade the distance of ulty miles from Guise to Laon on foot.

They received food from the soldiers on the way. Another German aeroplane flew over Paris this afternoon, but did no damage. The Temps says on the subject of aeroplane raids over Paris: "Paris will know how to reply by silent stoicism and calm resolution to the efforts at intimidation by which the Germans are attempting to stir the capital that they know is impressionable, but of whose unfailing resources of patience and will they do not know." It is believed that while the French are progressing on the right in Lorraine, the Germans are gaining ground on the left, with the result that there has been a large crop of rumors and a pronounced exodus from the capital, particularly to the south. The d'Orsay station was besieged all night by a large but orderly crowd. The sale of tickets was suspended at an early hour, as all the space in the trains for tomorrow was taken, Hundreds of persons remained at the station, however, in order to be in line for the following day.

As a precaution against German raiding aeroplanes, all the electric lights which have made the Champs Elysse and the boulevards brilliant have been extinguished. A Havas dispatch from Biarritz says that arrival of a convoy of 133 wounded soldiers and twelve officers today gave rise to a general manifestation of sympathy on the part of the foreign colony, in which the English and Spanish took a conspicuous part. They loaded the soldiers with flowers, cigarettes, cigars and other presents of all kinds. Automobiles were placed at their disposal and refreshments were served in the salons of the Casino, where hospital wards, with all possible comforts, were arranged. In a dispatch from Amsterdam a correspondent of the Central News says that during the German bombardment of Malines the painting by Rubens, representing the "Miraculous Draught of was destroyed.

It hung in the Church of Notre Dame. Continuing, the correspondent declares that the German general, Prince von Buelow, who was wounded In the Battle of Haelen, has since died. SAYS THEY BEAT HIM. Scheible Also Has Two Men Held for Attempted Robbery, Long Island City, L. 1., September 1- Salvatore Guido, 21 years old, of 464 Vernon avenue, and Theodore Nese, 21 years old, of 626 Payntar avenue, Long Island City, were arraigned before Magistrate Conway in Long Island City on Saturday charged with felonious assault and attempted robbery upon the complaint of William Scheible of 614 East Thirtenth street, Manhattan.

They were placed under bonds of $1,500 each and the case was adjourned until September 3. Scheible claims that he was walking along Vernon avenue and WAS attacked by the two men at Rogers street. He says they knocked him down, kicked him and, after beating him up considerably, started to gO through his pockets. His cries attracted the attention of a policeman nearby, and the men started to run away, Scheible and the officer gave chase and caught them. ENTERPRISE SUPPRESSED.

A plan to attract the attention of the public to a moving picture place on Forty-eighth stret and Fourth avenue, by parading a man in convict's stripes before the establishment, brought the proprietor and his assistant into the Fifth avenue court today on A charge of disorderly conduct for blocking traffic. Magistrate Folwell found the two men, James J. McCormick of 71 East Eighty-sixth street, Manhattan, and Harry McGuire, 20 years old, of 196 Sands street, guilty, and suspended sentence. ON TRIAL FOR MURDER. A.

Itzi has not been arrested, and Assistant District Attorney Warbasse said the man on trial was responsible for Mosco's deato. RUSSIA CLAIMS ALL SOUTHERN GALICIA Austrians' Losses in This Campaign Declared to Total 20,000. CATTARO FORTS SILENCED.

Russian Advance Said to Alarm Ber1in-Populace Seeking Safety in Neutral Countries. London, September 1, 5:10 a.m.-A dispatch to the Times from St. Petersburg gives the following comment on the Russian operations against the Austrians: "The Russian operations against the Austrians are considered by recognized military writers to have reached the stage when decisive victories may be within reach. The capture of the railroad center forty miles south of Lemberg involves the rupture of railway communication with the Austrian fortresses on the Dniester and in Bukovina. Thus the southern part of Galicia, as well as Bukovina, is severed from the remaining portions of Galicia, except by a circuitous route across the Carpathians.

As a result the iron ring is closing around Lemberg. "According to the Russko Slovo, the losses suffered by the Austrians in their desperate attempt to strike at the vitals of the Russian position in Poland aggregate tens of thousands of men, including the Sixth Austrian Corps which, on its retreat between the Western Bug and the Wieprz Rivers, was almost annihilated." A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company from Cettinje, states that the Austrians, supported by the Cattaro batteries and their fleet, on Sunday reattacked Mount Lovchen Budua. The Montenegrin positions were being seriously damaged when the English and French fleet put in a timely appearance, silenced the batteries and forced the Austrian ships to beat a hasty retreat. The Montenegrins, under Prince Peter, immediately began a counter attack on the Austrian forces and repulsed them. They killed 450 men and took many prisoners, including several officers.

Two pieces of artillery were also captured. A dispatch to the Daily News from Rome, declares that news has been received there from Bucharest, Rumania, setting forth that the Russians have inflicted a crushing defeat on the Austrians in Galicia. They inflicted a loss of 20,000 on their enemy, who sought to cross the Vistula. The correspondent of the Express, telegraphing from The Hague, says: "There is the greatest alarm in Berlin over the advance of the Russian troops. The news that the Emperor has left western headquarters and moved to the Russian front has shown the residents of the capital where the immediate peril to their safety lies.

Many are leaving for Norway, Denmark and Switzerland." Paris, September 1-A dispatch to the Havas agency from Nish, Servia, says that eight of the Italian Garibaldian volunteers, who are with the Servians against Austria, have thus far fallen in the fighting on the frontier. BADLY BEATEN BY A GANG. Two Men Attacked on Driggs Avenue. Four Arrested. While walking along Driggs avenue, last night, Arthur Moran of 137 North Ninth street, and Julius Henbenstreit of 215 North Ninth street, were tacked at' North Tenth street by six young menn and were badly beaten.

In the fray, one of the attackers fired a shot from a revolver. Policeman Thornton of the Bedford avenune station was attracted by the shot and ran to the scene just as the six men ran toward McCarren Park. Two other policemen joined in chase and the three caught four of the men. These said they were Otto Kemle, 22 years old, of 618 Manhattan avenue; John Geraghty, 21 years old, of 197 North Sixth street; James Murphy, 23 years of 126 Withera street, and Thomas Bearson, 31 years old, of 39 City Island avenue, City Island. Moran and Hebenstreit were attended for their injurles by Dr.

Martin won the last place in the championship division on the third hole. A New Golfing Star. A new star rose in the golfing firmament in the first qualifying round yesterday when J. B. Schlottman of Detroit covered the eighteen holes in 73 strokes, beating the score of Chick Evans.

Schlottman tied with Francis Ouimet, Frederick Herreshoff of Garden City and D. Clarke Corkran of Baltimore for third place in the day's play. The prowess of Schlottman was known to but few, although H. B. Lee, former champion of Michigan, and also of Detroit, was not backward in telling everybody to keep his eye on Schlottman, as he could beat anybody else, including himself (Lee), in the Detroit section.

The attention of the gallery seemed to be centered on players--Travers, Ouimet and Evans. It was the appearance of these tee that caused a flutter among the spectators, and it was the rising of the head of either above the hill at the home hole that caused the bystanders to leave the bulletin board and flock around the ropes guarding the green to see the hole-out of these three famous golfers. The admirers of either of these three can draw consolation from the first round. The friends of Travers can well say that the champion hardly ever seeks to extend himself in the qualifying round, caring only to qualify, and depending upon his great match play to carry him through the rest of the tournament to victory. On the other hand, the partisans of the Western champion insist that Evans, who is noted for his grand-stand finishes, is certain to come in with a close to 70 or under-70 round, as he did at Garden City last year in the amateur championship, and as he recently did in the open at Midlothian, when he gained second place and missed tying for first place by only stroke, all this by bringing in two one rounds of 70 and 71 to finish the tournament play.

Few Noted Players Failed to Qualify in First Round. There are few of the noted golfers among those who failed to qualify yesterday. The best Clifford known to fall Dunning, by the wayside were of the A. Nassau former champion "Spotty" of Brooklawn; I Percy R. Pyne.

2d, Princeton; Allan Club; Chevy Chase; Bowers McKim Country Hollins, South Westbrook; James R. Hyde, Shore; H. B. Lee, Detroit, former Michigan champion, clubmate and F. H.

Hoyt of Woodland, a of Francis Ouimet, who was paired last year with Ouimet in the foursome play against New York in the Lesley Cup matches at Brookline. There were many surprises in yesterday's qualifying round. Walter Travis was not expected to make 50 poor an exhibition, as only on Saturday he and Herreshoff had won the American Golfer trophy; but from the way the two played yesterday it would seem that the victory of Saturday must have been largely the work of the latter. As already told in The Eagle, Travis and Fownes were beaten in a four-ball match Sunday in the final practice play Harold by H. K.

Kerr of South Shore and Weber of Toledo, by 2 and 1. The freaks of golf are shown by the fact that Fownes turns around in the qualifying round and leads the field with a 70, while both Kerr and are ten strokes worse. "Travis He was putted plainly in off his dead game sort yes- of terday. way, and his driving was without snap, He seemed to work hard for all the good strokes he made that were of any account. Oswald Kirkby disappointed his admirers, who had thought that him fine playing in the Metropolitan and the New Jersey championships last spring augured a return of the old form of two years ago that made him seem unbeatable sometimes.

There were flashes of his old-time excellence at some holes, but, taken all in all, the Englowood player seems to have a good deal to make up to play like the Kirkby of 1911 and the early part of 1912. Comparing the best and the worst ball totals for the entire field, a singular thing is discovered and that is that each half of these totals is like the other half. The best totals for the full eighteen is less than half of the worst ball score. This is the way these scores compare: Best ball, 3 3 2 3 19 3-27 Worst ball, out. 8 7 0 00 7-65 Best ball, 'in 4 2 3 2 ca 3 4 3-27- 54 Worst ball, 6 00 6 7 6 9 "King of American Holes" a Terror Even to the Stars.

The fact that Jerome D. Travers, the national champion, yesterday took a 7 on the 580-yard hole where the par is 5, and explained that he had been worried by the thought of facing the hole from the first moment of teeing up at the first hole, gives an indication of what a terror this "King of American Holes" has developed into thus early in this tournament. There are some who are already saying that the test of a championship tournament will reveal this as being anything but a king among holes. Already the claim being made that it furnishes an unfair lie after a good drive, and that the poorness of the lie drives most of the players into taking an iron for a second shot instead of a brassie. As already explained in The Eagle, this hole has a fairway lying in the hollow after a steep descent from the tee.

Two hills slope down toward this fairway so that after the very finest kind of drive the player may find himself forced to play with the ball lying high above him or below him, it just depending on whether the ball is lying on the right or the left side of the narrow trough which constitutes the fairway. Anyone who knows Champion Travers knows that no real golf hole has in it the elements to frighten him and that the cause of the trepidation with which he approached it must be looked for elsewhere.

McLoughlin, of San Francisco, the title-holder, in straight sets on the Casino courts here today. The scores were 6-3, 8-6, 10-8. In overcoming champion, Williams reached his highest form of tennis. Although the match was fought through three long sets, the Philadelphian commanded the situation at. all times.

His service was superior to McLoughlin's, his returns marvelously sure and the usual slump which developed in his former matches did not appear during today's play. On the other hand, McLoughlin seemed to have gone stale, and except for a rally in the last set, did not display his usual His errors were frequent and although he pulled off his service aces occasionally, his drives were handled in fine shape by Williams. The result was totally unexpected, as McLoughlin had been an almost prohibitive favorite for the match and the retention of the title. The met in the final a year ago, McLoughlin winning in four sets. In the opening set, the first four games alternated on the service.

Then Williams broke through and captured McLoughlin's service on errors by champion and soon ran out the set, the score being 6 to 3. Williams had the second set three games to love, when McLoughlin dashed in and evened the score. The games were quickly played, very few going to deuce and after McLoughlin had made it 6 all, Williams won the set. The third and last set was flercely contested. Williams obtained a com manding lead, but McLoughlin squared the set in the twelfth game.

Newport, R. September 1-R. Nor- RAPS LUDWIG NISSEN Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Although the fulminations of a certain Ludwig Nissen, which occupy half a page of your issue of last Sunday, are really too childish and far too much at variance with the truth to merit the attention of any intelligent reader, there is one point on which your correspondent professes himself to be in the dark, on which it might be charitable to enlighten him. I refer to his inability to comprehend the fact of 90 per cent. of public opinion being against Germany in the patent and persistent effort of her despotle ruler and his subservient "Junkers" to Kaiserize the world.

Surely to the impartial student of the trend of affairs in the last forty years, and in view of the bulldozing methods and bloodsucking taxation imposed by the great and only "war lord" on the patient and long suffering German people, it should not be difficult for the dullest brain to understand that the enlightened nations of the world have had enough of "God appointed and God anointed" tyranny and are now pretty well sick of it. In this connection wonder if Mr. Nissen ever heard of the eleven obstreperous jurymen who would not agree with the twelfth! Strange that an "impartial American" who in his youth saw his country stolen and himself kicked out, should in his old age turn around and lick the boot that kicked him! Or is this phenomenon to be explained by the fact of the "Impartial American's" large clientele among so-called "German-Americans'? If 90-but enough said! FRANCIS HALL. Brooklyn, August 31, 1914. SEXTON E.

W. BRADLEY DEAD; Took Care of New York Avenue M. Church Twenty-five Years, Edward Wilmer Bradley, who died today at his home, 121 New York avenue, of asthma, following a long Illness, was for twenty-five years the sexton of the New York Avenue M. E. Church.
