The Duke of Nassau is the only one
who ever failed in an assault upon it
he was beaten by a woman, Catherine
Of Polk, who rightfully has her statue
in the public square.
The Duke of Wellington captured 1t
in his turn in 1915, and the Germans
starved the little garrison out in the
closing days Of the war of 1870, but
were obliged to allow 1t to march out
with the honors of war.
During nine days bombardment W
of its 700 houses were demolished and
600 were rendered uninhabitable. In
this case the German commander con-
sented not to levy a war f1ne on the
town and dispensed the inhabitants
the same to them. since there was
nothing left in the place worth having.
This time, as has been the case with
most of the military operations. no one

that the town had been taken until its
reoccupation by French troops was an

The following morning, declaring that
the acquisitions were not being filled

governor inflicted a further punishment
on the town in the form of permission
to the troops of two hours pillage of
houses whose Inhabitants were out
They were told to commence with the
subprefecture, to punish the subprefect
for having gone away with all the
ready money. Everything movable was
taken. even to the bedding, carted to
the station and taken away by train
the same evening.
After the furniture had been removed
the soldiers descended to the cellars,
and then started an orgie that ended
In the burning of dozen of the more
important buildings in the center of
the town.
The citizens committee protested
strongly against these depredations and
convinced the governor that it was
not the most likely means of securing
the willing cooperation of those who
were able to contribute to the supply
ing of the troops. From that time to

vancing French the town was quiet.
