use of the roads while the armies need
ed them, which was practically all the
time.
In the evening, after long march,
we reached the town of Suippes. Here
our captain told us we would find nu-
merOus frank-tireurs. We were or
dered to bivouac, instead of being as
signed quarters, and all going into the
village were obliged to take guns and
cartridges with them. After a brief
rest we entered the village in search of
food. Dead civilians lay in the middle
Of the streets. They were citizens of
the village. We could not learn the
reason for their having been shot The
only answer to our questions was a
shrug Of the shoulder.
The village itself had not suffered
to any noticeable degree as far as
destruction of buildings was concerned,
but never In the course Of the war had
l seen more complete job Of plumber
Ing than had been done in Suippes.
That we had to live and eat Is true,
and as the inhabitants and merchants
had flown there was no opportunity to
pay for our necessities. Therefore we
simply entered a store, put on stock
ings, laundry, and left the old things,
then went to another place, took what
ever food looked good to us, and then

proceeded to a wine cellar, there to
seize as much as our hearts desired.
The men of the ammunition column,
located In the village as well as the
sanitary soldiers and cavalry by the
hundreds, searched the houses and took
whatever they liked hest. The finest
and largest business places In Suippes
served a very large rural district sur
rounding and therefore were stocked
up on almost everything. Within a
short time these places had been
cleaned out. The munition drivers
and train columns carried away old
pieces Of silk, ladies' dresses, linens,
shoes. dress goods and every other ar
ticle imaginable. and stored them away
In their ammunition cases. They took
children's and women's shoes, and
everything else they could lay their
hands upon, although many Of these
articles had to be thrown away short
ly afterward. Later, when the field
post was developed and gave regular
service. many Of these things were sent
home.
A large chocolate factory was robbed
completely, and chocolate and candy
In heaps were trampled In the ground.
Empty houses were broken into and
wrecked, wine cellars cleaned out and
windows ashed. the latter being
