organized to help men like themselves.
For fortnight they had hidden in a

rung above the city through many CEN
turies of JOY and woe--darltness came,
but not in the hearts Of the people
nor in their windows Tor The first
time in FIVE winters of war they lighted
the'r lamps with open shutters, and from
many windows there streamed out bright
Beams which lured one like Il moth to

There were bright stars and crescent

People Dance and Sing
In these fights and in these shadows
the people Of Gheut danced and sang
until midnight ch'med. They danced
in bakers dozens with linked arms. men
and girls together singing in deep voices
and high voices, all mngling, so that
when I went 70 my bedroom and looked
out OF the easement window II rose in
n chorus from all over the city like mu-
sic by Debussy.
One song came as a constant refrain
between all the others. 1t was the
"Marseillaise." They sang it in all
crowds and small groups of soldiers
and students and followed one man,
who walked alone down a deserted ave-
nue., and who. as he wallied. sang tho
song of liberty to himself, brandishng
his stick while his voice rang out With
kind Of ecstasy and passion: "Alons,
Enfants de IA Patrie. T.e Jour de
Gloire est ArriVe.''
There is something IN the "A[arsel-
.aiSe' which strikes the chords OF mems
hearts With deep vibration, and as I
heard this lonely man singing it. through
Ghent and the chorus OF it in all parts
Of the city I thought of those days of

the light Of burning ChateauH.

which brought back the momory of that

glare OF fire aboIt the spires and bel
fries, and walked toward It and heard
the roar OF many voices. and then came
into the square, where the Light OF high
flames was flung upon Old houses and
upon the figures of many people. There
was Il house there called the Hotel of
the Half Moon. Its windows had been
heaved out, and inside it Belgian SOL
diers and citizens were fl!nging out
tables, chairs. planhs and wainscoating
to feed the bonfire below, and every
time the flames licked up to this new
fuel there were shouts from the crowd
