There was a Belgian in one of the
other wards, whom l got to know pretty
we'll, and he would often come over
and visit me. He asked many ques-
lions about Dixmude, for he had had
relatives there. though he had lost
track of them. He often tried to de-
scribe the house they had lived in, so
that might tell him whether it was
still standing or not, but could not
remember the place he spoke of. Dur
ing our talks, he told me about many
atrocities. Some of the things he told
me had heard before, and some Of
them I heard of afterward. Here are
some things that he either saw OF
heard Of from victims:
He said that when the Germans en-.
tered the town of st. Quentin, they
started firing into the windows as they
passed along. First, after they had oc.
cupied the town, they bayoneted every
workingman they could find. Then
they took about half of the children
that they could find, and killed them
with their musket butts. After this
they marched the remainder of the chill
lren and the women to the square
where they had lined up row of male
citizens against wall. The women
and children were told that If they
moved, they would all be shot. An
other file of men was brought up. and
made to kneel in front Of the other
men against the wall.

the bodies falling. Then some one
cried, Look, they're all down. But
few escaped"
This Belgian had escaped by hiding
he could not remember how many
days-in an old cart filed with manure
and rubbish. He had chewed old hides
for food, had swan across the river,
and hid in mud bank for almost a
week longer, and finally got to France.
He took it very hard when we talked
about Dixmude, and I told him that
the old church was just shot to pieces.
He asked about a painting called the
Elaboration Of the Magt," and one of
the other prisoners told US it had been
saved and transported to Germany. II
that is true, and they do not destroy
it meanwhile, we will get it back, don't
worry!
Ny wound was just clean gunshot
wound and not very serious, so, al
though It was not completely healed,
they let me 60 after three weeks. But
before I went, saw something that
no man Of us will ever forget. Some
of them took VOWS just like the men
Of the legion have told about.
One Of the patients was German
doctor, who had been picked up in No
Mans Land, very seriously wounded.
He was given the same treatment as
any Of us, that is, the very best, but
finally, the doctors gave him up. They
thought he would die slowly, and that
1t might take several weeks.
But there was a nurse there, who
took special interest in his case, and
she stayed up day and night for some
time and finally brought him through.
The case was very well known, and
everybody said she had performed a
miracle. He got better slowly.
Then few weeks later, when he
was out Of danger and was able to
walk, and it was only question Of
time before he would be released from
the hospital, this nurse was trans
ferred to another hospital. Everybody
knew her and liked her, and when she
went around to say good-by, all the
men were sorry and gave her little
presents, and wanted her to write to
them. She was going to get a nurse
she knew in the other hospital to turn
her letters into English, so that she
could write to me. gave her a ring
had made from piece Of shell case,
but guess she had hundreds of them
at that.
But this German doctor would not
say good-by to her. That would not
have made me sore, but it made this
French girl feel very bad, and she be-
gan to cry. One Of the French officers
saw her and found out about the doc
tor, and the officer went up and spoke
to the German. Then the French Of
flcer left, and the German called to
the nurse and she went over to him
and stopped crying.
They talked for a little while, and
then she put out her hands as If sAo
was going to leave. He put out his
hands, too. and took hold Of hers. And
then he twisted her wrists and broke
them. We heard the snap.
There were men in that ward who
had not been on foot since the day
they came to the hospital, and one Of

need not tell you what we did to
the German. They did not need to
shoot him, after we got through with
him. They did shoot what was left of
him, to make sure, though.
Now, have heard people say that
it is not the Germans we are fighting,
but the kaiser and his system. Well,
it may be true that some of the Boche
soldiers would not do these things If
they did not have to: myself, am not
so sure.
But you take this doctor. Here he
was, an educated man, who had been
trained all his life to help people who
were in pain, and not to cause it. And
he was not where he would have to
obey the kaiser or any other German.
And this nurse had saved his life.
So I do not see that there is any
argument about it. He broke that
girls wrists because he wanted to;
that is all there is to it. Now, say
this German doctor was a dirty cur
and scoundrel. But say that he is
fair sample Of most of the Germans
I have met. And it is Germans of this
kind that we are fghting-not merely
the kaiser.
It is like going to college. I have
never been there, but I have heard
some people say it did not do man
any good to 60. But have never
heard a man who went there say that.
Probably you have not been over there,
and maybe you think we are not fight
, ing the German people, but only the
kaiser and his flunkeys.
Well, nobody had better tell me that.
Because have been there, and have
seen this. And know.

Well, we went over this time, and
the machine guns were certainly going
= 1t strong. We were pretty sore about
the chaplain and the Swiss and all
that, and we put up an awful fight, but
we could not make It and had to come
back. Only one company reached the
Boche trenches and not a man Of it
came back who had not been wounded
on the way and did not reach the
trench. They were just wiped out.
The captain was missing, too. We
thought he was done for, but about
two o'clock in the morning, he came
back. He simply fell over into the
trench, all in. he had been wounded
four times, and had lain in a shell
crater full Of water for several hours.
would not 60 back for treatment
then, and when daylight came, it was
too late, because we were practically
cut off by artillery fire behind the front
line trenches.
When daylight came, the artillery
fire opened up right on US, and the
apanS had advanced their lines into
= some tkanches formerly held by US and
hardly forty-flve yards away. We re-
ceived bombs and shells right In our
faces. a Tunisian in our company got
crazy,and ran back over the parados.
He ran a few yards, then stopped and
looked back at Us. think he was
coming to his senses, and would have
- started back to US. Then the spot
where he. had been was empty, and a
second later his body from the chest
down fell not three yards from the
parados. I do not know where the
top part went. That same shell cut a
groove in the low hilltop before it ex-
ploded. He had been hit by big
shell, and absolutely cut in two. !
have seen this happen to four men, but
this was the only one in France.
About seven o'clock, we received re-
endorsements, ard poured fresh troops
over and retook the trench. No sooner
had we entered it, however, than the
Germans turned their artillery on US,
not even waiting for their own troops
to retire safely. They killed numbers
of their own men in this way. But the
was so heavy that, when they coun.
-er-attacked, we had to retire again,
and this time they kept after us and
drove us beyond the trench we had
originally occupied.
We left them there, with our artil-
lery taking care of them, and our ma
chine guns trying to enfilade them, and
moved to the right. There was q

woods, and as we passed the Germans
