Pi1lage Methodical.

"Pillage, as we'll as incendiarism, has
been methodically carried on. It was
not the work of delirious drunken
trooper who all at once breaks from
his bonds, but careful, methodic and
minute ransacking of houses from cell
lar to attic. Drawers were everywhere
pulled out and their contents looted
Closets which had been left open were
not broken, those that were found lock-
ed were ransacked and their contents
strewn over the floor.
Evidently the thieves had looked for
valuables that would not be too bulky
to carry off easily. Clocks. for in
stance. which. as rule, are rather
bulky, are generally intact. and SO are
paintings and engravings of large size.
In my house, water colors were care
fully cut from their frames and car
ried off. Valuables. jewels, silverware
looked for.
1T is proved that the Prussian Off
GERS were stealing no less than their
own men. AS an example. on the
'Chaussee de Tervueren' 4 villager
noticed a carriage stopping In front
of house whose inhabitants he knows;
two officers entered the house and came
out shortly afterward with packages
and a clock, a small but artistic and
valuable piece of art, and worth about
500 francs. They took time to pack
everything into the carriage and then
drove OF. 1t is the veriest highway
robbery"

These two observations made in
the course of my exploration Of this
modern Pompeii:
First. The aspect Of the ruins leaves
no doubt that the tncendiary operations
were carried on systematically, in a
well thought out manner. and beyond
doubt by some ones order. Each
house was set on fire separately. This
fact is particularly noticeable on the
'Chaussee de Malines. where q large
number Of small houses. completely
isolated. the dwellings of poor peas
ants, were set on fire out Of sheer
malice, one after the other.
Poor innocent wretches. The heav-
ems are crying for revenge for such
acts.
"A villager told me that the soldiers
had two ways of setting hre to the
houses. One was to break the win
dows of the first floor. to throw petro-
1eum on the floor and throw in torches
of burning straw, while others were
engaged =. shooting at the upper story
windows to prevent the Inhabitants
from throwing missiles on those set
ting fire to their homes. Sometimes
shsywould fire special cartridges into
