There never was a more critical

he banner of triumphant democracy

CHAPTER I'll.

Four of us had formed close
friendship. We had promised to keep
together and help one another in
every danger. So we often visited the
homes of citizens together and did our
best to quiet the harassed people we
met and talk them out of fear of our
forces. Without exception we found
these people friendly and quick to feel
confidence in us when they learned
that we really were their friends. Ii
we wrote on their doors with chalk
"Here live good, honest people. please
spare Them" their gratitude knew no
bounds. If so much bad blood existed
and If so many things which led to the
military execution of innumerable Bel
gians, it was because Of the mistrust
Systematically nourished on the part
of the German officers.
That night we marched on after be-
ing joined by q 21-centimeter mortar
battery of the foot artillery regiment
No. 8 recently arrived. Not only were
we to act as an auxiliary for this bat
terry, but we were also expected TO help
bring these immense cannon into ac-
ton. These guns were in two sections.
