Il told him that he surely

the commandant sought me out
and said tina the people of Voy-

that reparation would be demand

and | told him it was lie; that
we had no firearms; that is shots
were fired it was done by Ger
mans as an excuse to make us
suffer. The commandant did not
carry out his threat.
I'VE have had many command
ers since then and, one and all,
they have ruled their men with
a discipline of iron. Some of the
officers treated their subordinates
like dogs; they said the men were
their slaves, as the French would
be. l saw an officer one day,
without reason whatever, cuff
his orderly so hard that the mans
eye was black for a week. The
soldiers only reply was to click
his heels together and come to
salute.
Some of the villagers asked
the men why they submitted to
such treatment. They replied
that they were helpless now as a
military machine. but when the
war was over their time would
come. For a long time now the
German soldiers have had no cof-
fee and their rations have been
craving less and less. | tell you
with aliisolemnity that when the
war is ended, there will be a reck-
oning, and Germany will know a
blood-red revolution. y
The best commander we ever
had was tha one'befere the last,
who spent fifteen years in Amer
lea and married an American girl.
He had tasted the joys of liberty
in a free country and his every
act, no matter how stern, was
kindness. He spared US much.
For two years and a half we have
been out of the world and prob.
ably will never catch up.
THE Germans distributed 9
paper they printed, called the
Gazette des Ardennes, but We
would not read its extravagant
falsehoods and accusations a

got a French paper. We knew

and would not fall. We knew
the glory of Verdun. Of Amer
