Munich.-Church steeples play queer
parts in war. In Antwerp / saw n
man climb almost to the peak OF the
ancient cathedral there and fasten
Belgian flag to a stone gargoyle. In
the evening, at sunset, | saw Belgian
choir boys standing in their white sur
plices among the bells. and heard their
song Of praise that fioated over the
old town like a observation-disclosures
Antwerp had been saved from a Yep
pelin.
In Munich | saw another church
steeple playing its role in war II
was raining. and the peak OF the ca
thedral spire loomed dimly above the
lights of the city hall square. But
the tiny lights of candles carried by
German choir boys fluttered in the
belfry, and, led by an orchestra, the
boys sang a song of pTaise-because
Antwerp had fallen.
Russian Trick a Boomerang.
The newspapers tell Of a trick which
n German general played on the Rus
CLANS. In retreating from town IN
eastern Prussia the Russians were
forced to leave behind large guam
tity OF bread. They poured gasoline
on the bread, and when the Germans
entered the town they found the
smelly mixture surmounted by a sign
which read:
I'VE hear that you need both bread
and gasoline. Here they are"
About the same time the Germans
cantured a number of Russians. The
German general ordered that the
bread be given the prisoners, and not
a Russian touched his prison fare that
night.
