GHENT, Sept. 26.
! There is no way to get to Client but
by the Red Cross train, and the doctor

miles away
Four miles back the German artillery
was booming. German shells were smash
ing buildings in Mechin; they had
wrecked the cathedral altar, entering
through the great, colored windows;
houses and homes were going down at
every deep booming sound that reached
our ears. And in this Red Cross train

Ten cars of the train were filed with
old men and women. Some Of them
were incredibly old and bent They
came from the homes for the aged at
Mechin. A nurse pointed out one woman
who was more than 100 years old and
who had been alive when Napoleon's
conquest OF Europe was slipping away
from him. These old folk, who years
before had quit their work and had
found quiet, peaceful corner in beau
tiful Malines in which to die, were being
taken away by the Red Cross to save
from German shells the few short
days of their ending lives.
We drew into Client late in the eve
ming. Soldiers and nurses took the help
less from the cars and started them in
automobiles and vehicles of all sorts for
the hospital. They lifted down the two
whte-sheeted forms and a black wagon
took them away.
Even while this was being done and
while the old folks waiting in wheel
chairs were chattering like children
about the Prussian war in 1870, the citi-
zens of Client were crowding the depot
trying to get away from the city be-
cause they had heard that the Germans
were coming.
