CRYING FOR HOME.
German Industry Against War Glory.

German Industry Against War Glory.
Edmond About writes from Saverne, August II,
as fOllOws:-
1t is remarkable that all these German victors are
much inclined to cry. MY gardener told me just
rather afraid. The German said to him, "Comrade,
are you AFRAID OF 2"
"You are quite wrong for two reasons-hrst, be-
cause we are not allowed to make use OF our arms
when we are on observation and next, because do
not wish any i'll to the French"
"What DO you want, then?"
'What went, and should like is to go back to
my country and see my wife and children" Then
tears.
In every house where the enemy's soldiers have
eaten or slept there is weeping. A heavy father
incorporated In the landwehr or andsturm, j don't
know which, who was taken from bakery in Sa-
VERNE said to me- with tears in his eyes. "Why can't
/ end the campaign beside my decent oven? am
the head OF hOurishing house employ five bakers
hoys; l have wife and three children. Is my
proper place, now, under the flag, mark for French
bullets ?" musician, who is perhaps The composer
of comic opera in his own country, showed my
valet the photograph Of his wife, and cried, She is
pretty it seems that little German GIRL and she has
two cradles to look after
The enemy goes mounting steadily up In the direc-
ton Of Pfa zburg. they say ave are going to
have blow at the French (Klopien) -Hurrah :"
The STAFF of the 11th Army Corps. under General
RoZe, has taken possession OF the Sub Prefecture
and set the Sub Prefect into corner few loafers
amuse the emseves at the station and show laughing
an excellent map OF France, such as our generals
haven't got. One OF the men stretches his arms
towards Strasburg, aud asks the wheel greasers
out Of work if Paris Is not in that direction. Ano-
got to go to get to Paris. A pOntsman replies:-
my dear fellow, you have good many hills to
climb yet aud good many men 10 shoot"
The Ofrcer comes in aud says sharply to his men,
"No more nonsense here"
AT the Matchmaker Nahdascher, a big Hauptman,
or captain has his watch mended and tries TO
sure the natives -"YOu are under our protection,
we are responsible for Your tranquility; what are
you afraid OF? You have been told that we came to
annex Aisace and Lorraine; this is not true. We
only want TO put down French pride and TO dethrone
your Emperor, Of whom We have had enough for a
long time"
Some young country louts staying with the citi-
zens say that Pfalzburg will be taken in the epeung.
"Ihe place has been summoned to surrender.
They say only defends itself for pr0prletys sake.
We shall not go to bed without news From PfaZ-
burg We shall go to Metz: We have only TO nre the
town al the four quarters, and everything is done.
We shall see about that
Slb =. MAJ quarter to the enemy reopened
| his hTe against PfalZburg, and the town replied
bravely. The firing, wen kept up, ON both sides
stopped five minutes ago. II lasted nearly an hour
and hail. 1t is frightfully dark, and rains in tor
rents. The Prussians have no tents; they say they
are too much bother. They turn in, in their dry Oi
| wet OVerc0ats, under the naked sky.
