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
them was supposed to be dying, but 1t
is an absolute fact that when we heard
her scream, there was not a man left
In bed.
I 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, I have heard people say that
1t 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 1t. 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 1t: He broke that
girls wrists because he wanted to !;
that is all there is to 1t. Now, I say
this German doctor was a dirty cur
and a scoundrel. But say that he is
a fair sample of most Of the Germans
I have met. And It Is Germans of this
kind that we are flghting-not merely
the kaiser.
1t is like going to college. have
never been there, but I have heard
some people say 1t did not do a man
any good to go. But / have never
heard q 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 fiunkeys.
Well, nobody had better tell me that.
Because have been there, and have
seen this. And know.

The boys aboard the Cassard gave

weeks in the trenches at Dixmude. /
was glad to see them, too, for after all,
they were garbies, and i always feel
more at home with them than with SOL
diers. Then, 1t was pretty rough stuff
at Dixmude, and after resting UP ut
the hospital, / was keen on going to
sea again.
The Cassard was in dry dock for re-
pairs after her hast voyage to the OAR
danelles as convoy to the troopship
Duplex. Everything was being rushed
to get her out as soon as possible, and
crews were working day and night.
There were other ships there too-su-
perdreadnaughts, and dreadnaughts,
and battleships, and armored cruisers,
all being overhauled.
We received and placed guns Of
newer design, filled the magazines with
| the highest explosives known to naval
use, and generally made ready for a
hard job. Our magazines were filed
with shells for our big II and 14-inch
guns. A 14-inch shell can tear hole
through the heaviest armor plate at
1900 yards, and will do more damage
! than you would think.
When we had coaled and had got
our stores aboard, we dressed for &C
tion-or rather, undressed. The decks
were clear; hatch covers bolted and
davits folded down: furniture. chests,
tables, chairs were sent ashore, and In

Of them were knocked in the head with
gun butts before they stopped.
Then the Germans fired at the double
rank Of men. After three volleys, there
were eighty-four dead and twenty
wounded. Most of the wounded they
then killed with axes, but somehow,
three or four escaped by hiding under
the bodies Of others and playing dead,
though the officers walked up and
down firing their revolvers into the
piles Of bodies.
The next day the Germans went
through the wine cellars, and shot all
the inhabitants they found hiding
there. A lot of people, who had taken
refuge in factory over night, decided
to come out with white flag. They
were allowed to think that the white
flag would be respected, but no sooner
were they all out than they were seized
and the women publicly violated in the
square, after which the men were shot.
A paralytic was shot as he sat in his
armchair, and boy of fourteen was
taken by the legs and pulled apart.
At one place, a man was tied by the
arms to the ceiling of his room and set
afire. His trunk was completely car
bombed, but his head and arms were
unburned. At the same place, the
body of q f1fteen-year-old boy was
found, pierced by more than twenty
bayonet thrusts. Other dead were
found with their hands still in the air,
leaning IN against walls
At another place the Germans
shelled the town for a day, and then
entered and sacked it. The women
and children were turned loose, with.
out being allowed to take anything
with them, and forced to leave the
town. Nearly five hundred men were
deported to Germany. Three, who
were almost exhausted by hunger, tried
to escape. They were bayoneted ant
dubbed to death. Twelve men, who
had taken refuge in a farm, were tiec
together and shot in q mass. Another
group Of six were tied together anC
shot, after the Germans had put out
their eyes and tortured them witt
bayonets. Three others We're brought
