of Military Governor, and see what
was the matter. He was away
somewhere and so was the Burgo-
master, so contented myself with
seeing one Of the Echevins, whom
| had met number Of times. He
could not GO anything about it on
his own responsibility, but made
careful memorandum and said that
he would take it up with the Gen
eral, through the Mayor, when they
both got back. ! also asked for
laisser-passers for everybody in the
shop, and he promised 10 attend to
that.
By lunch time we had received
no answer from General Won ia
rotzky, so l got in the motor with
my pocket full of kilograms and
went down to the Hotel de Vile
once more. 1t is a depressing sight.
The Grande Place, which is usually
filed with flower vendors ard a
mass OF people coming and going,
is almost empty. At the lower end
there are parked q number Of small
guns; in the centre, some camp
kitchens, with smoke rising from
the chimneys. The courtyard Of
the Hotel de Vile itself, where 20
many sovereigns have been received
in state, was filed with saddle
horses and snorting motors. The
discarded uniforms Of the Garde
Civique were piled high along one
side, as if for a rummage sale.
Beer bottles were everywhere. IL
the beautiful Gothic room, hung
with the battle flags Of several cen
turies, there are a hundred beds
a dormitory for the officers who are
not CHARTERED at the neighboring
hotels

He then announced in a voice OF
thunder that they were all wrong
and that he was having them re-
written. Before I could summon
enough breath TO shout him down
and protest, he had gone into an
other room and slammed the door.
l rushed back to my trusty aide
de-camp and told him to get me
those kilograms right away; he came
back with word that they would be
sent after correction.
said that under no circumstances
could they send out word over the
signature of the American Minis

he could not get the cables.

myself 10 get them, only to bump
into the General coming out with the
messages in his hand.
He threw them down on a table
and began telling a young officer
what corrections to make on the tele-
graph form itself.
protested vigorously against any
such proceeding, telling him that we
should be glad to have his views as
20 any errors in our message, but
that he could not touch a letter IN
any official message.
At this stage Of the game he was
summoned 20 the office of the Burgo-
master and rushed off with a string
of oaths that would have made an
Arizona cowpuncher take his hat OF.
The young officer started calmly in'
terlining the message, so reached
over and took it away from him,
with the statement that | would re-
port TO my chief what had happened.
He was all afiutter, and asked that
remain, as the General would not be
long.

longer, however, and made as digni-
fed a retreat as possible under the
circumstances.
There were a number Of cables in

we're being sent in the interest Of the
German Government and Of German
subjects, and took good care 10 tell
tho young man that, while We were
glad TO DO anything reasonable for
them or for their people, we had stood
Cor a good deal more than they had a
right to expect, and that these cables
would stay on my desk until such
time as they got ready to make a
proper arrangement for our COM
munications. Now we shall settle
down and see what happens next.

By this time l was beginning TO see

explained my errand to an aide-de-
camp, and asked him 20 see that
proper instructions were given for
the sending Of the kilograms. he
took them and went away. Then,
after a few minutes, ne came gravely
back, clicked his heels, and an
nounced that there was no telegraph
communication with the outside
world and that he did not know when
it would be reestablished. I asked
him TO 90 back to the General, who
in the meantime had retreated 70
the Gothic room and had locked
himself in with a group Of officers.
My friend came back again, rather
red in the face, and said that he had
authority TO stamp my kilograms
and let them 60. He put the rubber
stamp on them, and said I could
take them. said that was all very
well, but where could ! take them
since the telegraph Offices were
closed. He went of again and came
back with the word that the office
in the central bureau was working
for official messages.
I got into the motor with the ltal-
ian secretary, who had a similar
task, and together we went to the
