The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1916-01-02

For hatred there is no history. Hatred has
never learned from the past. England's hatred
refused to learn its lessons even from Belgium's
fate! II 1t must be-we shall repeat TO these
snipers the lesson Of Louvain! We want an
honest fight with soldiers! Bandits. however.
shall not touch a hair of a German soldier and
go unpunished!"
No harsh orders. no further measures OF force
are needed from the Major as his troops march
on; the vanguard companies have taught the
citizens sense.
The way leads through devastated landscape
beauty. The parks Of English lords have been
crushed and destroyed under the heavy feet "
soldier and horse. Ancient yew trees bleed from
white shining splinter wounds. They lived
through centuries and did not know that the
tumult Of war at times ravages this earth. Yes,
old England has Jared we'll all these centuries!
often enough she conducted a war. let other ma
tions bleed and paid vsssals to fight for her -
and her old yew trees learned nothing Of all
the hcartache the oft forsaken Continent was
made to suffer! go
In a railroad intersection in southern Sussex
there is gathered a crowd of live booty from the
recent fighting. Several squadrons of English
cavalry In their handsome khakis are trotting
past the German troops toward tho railway sta
ton. Thence they are to start on their long
dreamed If journey-dreamed OF and planned for
ten years past-though 1t is a somewhat different
journey, to the heart or Germany and 10 tho
Danube. ss
A rare lot they are. those fellows huddled to-
gether' over yonder. forming another prisoner
caravan. Hindu horsemen with false gems in
their turbans lie beside ragged Montencgrins.
Sikhs from northern India. Monegese. Senegal
csc. Basuto Canres from Copeland, Canadians.
Gurkhas. Indians. black South Sea islanders and
London city reservists ara camping peacefully
side by side. In her divine mission, the mission
OF humanity. England has stunned no means, no
costs; civilizations champions from the darkest
hooks OF the globe were to prove to the Hunnish-
German scum what culture and good manners
are.
Ugly negroes from the Congo. whose torn faces
tell the sordid tales OF Belgian colonial atrocities.
their wrists call TO mind shackles Of beasts OF
prey.
Some of the prisoners look serious and pcnsive;
the colored ones. however. have hardly realized
that they have been langriishing In miserable
slavery upon the British isle. and that only acct.
dent helped them escape the higher destination,
10 give their lives as miserable cannon fodder
for England.
Major Sigwart asks his Adjutant TO take a
snapshot OF the campaign caravan.

The western sky over the County Sussex Is
pregnant with battle storm. The advance or
reserves into this region is FASTENED. Steadily
the tidal wave rolls on.
The odor Of chlorine begins to make Itself
apparent. Our grenadiers approach the field
where the battalion will be needed tomorrow.
The parks and the pastures bid a horribly
drastic proof OF the recent fighting. Helmets
rlddled by bullet holes lie here. wheel spokes.
