were about to start when the burgo-.
master himself came running out. He
ordered us to leave the car there and
said he would direct .us where to go.
He insisted that we. go on foot, but- I
pould not understand whpn he tried
to explain why.
We soon saw ■■‘the probable reason
fop. the burgomaster's refusal to.ride
in the car. All around for about- a
mile the rbads were heavily ndnWHand
small red flags on iron .staves were
stuck 'between' the cobblestones, as
warnings not to put in much time
around those places. Also, there were
notices Stuck up all around warning
people of the mines and forbidding
heavy carts to pass. -When we got
off/the road I breathed again!
After, a great deal of questioning we
finally reached our destination-^ml
made our . report to the local eOpfmnnd-
ant. We told him all we could and in
turn ,received various 'in'fornfaflon
from him. We were then tnjten over

on the'third floor front. We had just

night’s rest, when there was an explo

had heard before, and we and the bed
rocked about, like a canoe in the wake
of a stern-wheeler.

A few minutes later we beard foot

in a window across the street, asking
a gendarme whether it whs safe to go

putting in a word for-the bombs every
once in a while. All up and down tlie
trendies you could hear our men
cursing the Germans in all kinds of
languages. Believe ine, 1 did my hit
and 1 could hear sorfiehody else using
good old United States cuss words,
too. It-certainly did not make me feel
any better, but It gave me something
to do. I think that was why all of
pis cursed so much then., though we
w ere preTFy 'handy with language at
any time. But when you are under
heavy fire like that and cannot give
it back as good as you get, you go
cru'zy unless you have something to do.
Bussing is the tiest thing vVe -could
thinkof.
Up the trench the third bny was
simply smashed In and tlie Germans
sharp wa,tch as we went, for Dixmude
was being contested hotly at that time
and German pot rots were in the neigh:
liorhood. No one knew exactly where
they would break out next. *
So we started out from the,third-
line trenches, but very shortly one of
our outposts stopped us. Bartel car
ried the, dispatches and drove the car
too. so" it was up to me to explain
tilings to the sentries. They were
convinced after a bit of arguing. Just
as we were leaving a message came
over the phone from our commander,
telling them to hold us when we came.
It was lucky they stopped us, for oth
erwise we would have been out of
reavh by the time his message came.
The commander told me, over tlie tele
phone, that i? a French flag flew over
snot every .one of them. I saw tin
deyd bodies. jf “
When Jlie Germans came to Dix-
nnule they got all the men and women
and cluldren and made tlienr march
before them jnitli their liand.s in The
air. Those who did not wieiiv knocked
down. After u wlqlc some of. ilium saw
what they were going to get. and being
as game sports as I ever heard of, tril'd
to fight. They were finished off at
once, of course.!
•The former burgomaster Tiid been
shot and - -finished—off—with - an - l nx. J
though in* had not resisted, because he
wanted to save tlie lives of his citi
zens. They told me of one case, in Ibx-
mude, where a man came out of ills
house, trying to carry his father-, a
man of eighty, to the- square, where
they were ordered to report. The old
man could not raise his bandit, so they
dragged his son away fnan him,
knocked tlie old man in the head'w ith
an ax, and left hiiq there to die. Ttirfse
who were spared were made to dig tlie
graves for tlie others. _- t .
There was a doctor there in I>ix-
mude, who certainly deserves a mili
tary cross if any man ever did. He
was called from his house by the Ger
mans at ft ::U> one morning. He left his-
wife, who lntd had a hahy two days
before, in tlie house. He was taken to
tlie square, lined up against a Wall
with three other big men of tlie town.'
Then lie saw ids wife andbab^ bejng
carried to tlie square 6n n mattress by
four Germans.' He begged to lie al
lowed \ to kiss his wife good-by, and
they granted him permission. As lie
stepped away, there wds.a rattle and
-thing- you eim do for a man Is to give
him 'money.. Tbo drunkard will only
spend it for more drink; the gambler
will continue his dissipation. The
meaning then is, give to the one ask
ing the thing which he needs. Th*
man fn’fpoverty needs to be given a way
to" earn.Ris living, rather than to be
given money wTtTioiit the necessity’of
labor. There‘is that in the human
heart which refuses charity, and
cries nut for a means to honestly gain
a livelihood.

who love us, doing good to those whn.

doing. The child of tho kingdom of

It was a shame to waste a shell on

When we had passed the last post
we^ kept a sharp lookout for.the flag
on the pole of tin' old-fish market, for
by this wo would get bur bearings—
and perhaps, if it should be a German
flag, a timely warning. But after we
were down the road a bit and had got
clear we saw a Belgian flag whipping
around-In a good, strong breeze. But
while that showed that our troops or
the British were about to take over
the place it also indicated, that tin*
9
Germans were somewhere near by.
Which was not so cheerful.
As we went, through the suburbs
along the canal which runs on the
edge of the town we, found that all
the houses were, battered up. We
tried to hail several heads that stuck
themselves out of the spaces between
buildings and stuck themselves back
Juntas quickly, but we could not*get
an answer. Finally we got hold of
a man who came out from a little
cafe.
He told us that the Germans had
been.through .the town and had shot
it up considerably., killing and wound

afterward a small forde of Belgian
cavalry had‘arrived and driven tfie
Bnehes out. Th«' Germans wjre ex-

were those of bombs dropped i>y a

city.
The first bomb'had fallen less than
two hundred yards from where we
slept. No wonder the bed rocked ! • It
had struck a narrow three-story house
around the corner from the hotel, and
had blown it. to bits. Ten people had
been killed outright, and a number
died later. Tlie bomb tore a fine lade

filled, with rocks-, -and a number of
houses were down, and others wreck

We learned that the Zepp had saifled
