out of range OF the forts. PLAYED havoc
in a few hours with the four that were

1T is not possible TO put upon paper
the accounts OF the fugitives rs they
were given--in gestures and broken ex-
CARNATIONS rather than In sentences The
purport was always the same-that tho

the Germans became angry and began
to slaughter pillage and destroy.

comes to he told II will be found that
the horror is not quite so great, for all
the accounts are from people fleeing for
their lives but among those people were
