bounds. If so much bad blood existed
and if so many things which led to the
military execution of innumerable Bel
CLANS, 1t was because of the mistrust
Systematically nOurished on the part
of the German officers.
That night we marched on after be-
ing joined by a 21-centimeter mortar
battery Of the foot artillery regiment
No: 9 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 &C
ton. These guns were in two sections,
each transported on a wagon pulled
by six horses. These horses, the only
ones used by foot artillery, are sup
posed to be the finest and most power
full in the German army.
Yet these animals were seldom up
to expectations, SO that it was a COM
mon thing to detail from 70 to so men
to assist in transporting these NOR
tars, and long, heavy ropes were car
ried for this purpose. This happened
most frequently whenever the guns
had to be taken off q highway and
brought into a firing position.
Soon we arrived at the city of Ber-
trix. We found many houses at the
right and left of us burning brightly.
They had been set afire, we learned,
because persons in them had fired on
passing soldiers. In front of one of
these houses was a half-burned man
and woman with their fifteen or six
teen-year-old son. All were covered
with straw. A little way farther on.
three more civilians were lying dead
in the same street

It happened at a Red Cross tea held
at a country club. The fussy old gen.
tleman of the white vest tapped the
tweed-clad youngster on the shoulder.

"Yes-sound as a drum. Just twen-

'Disgusting! Have you no patriot

kept true guard, It appeared, but the
God of the Belgians was not there to
protect his.
In most of the places we passed we
were warned not to use the water.
This, of course, had the effect of max
ing the soldiers hate the people from
whom they could expect only death. In
this way the vicious instincts of our
men were aroused.
The water, of course, was nowhere
poisoned. These lies were told to
arouse hatred of the Belgians among
our soldiers.
In the evening, at dusk, we reached
q village east of the Bertrix. There
we found poisoned water also. In the
middle Of the village we halted and /
could see through front window Of a
house before which I stood. In a mis-
cradle home of q labOrer we saw a
woman. She chung to her children as
If afraid they would be torn away from
her. Suddenly a stone as large as a
fist was thrown through the window
into the room and little girl was
wounded on the right hand.
In this village we were billeted in q
barn. With some comrades, went to
the village to buy food. We obtained
ham, bread and wine at q farmhouse,
but the people refused any payment
because they considered us guests.
They only asked that we should not
hurt them. We paid them neverthe-
less for everything, in German money.
There, as everywhere else we went,
we found the population in mortal
terror of us. The people trembled
whenever a German soldier entered
their home.

CHAPTER Ill.

Four of us had formed a 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. If
we wrote on their doors with chalk,

Hitchcock and Others

= 1LBERT NJ. IIIrCliCOCK, United States
NJ Senator from Nebraska, calls himself Il
Democrat Twice he has been elected TO the
Senate by Democrats 9nd three times he was
elected TO the House by Democrats. He owes
his whole political career to tho favor of that
party, and owes his present standing in the
Senate which means his committee assign
mcnts, to Il Democratic caucus Ordinarily
such Indebtedness would make the debtor
a pretty good party man. 1t would make
him conscious of obligation and eager to dis
charge such duties the obligation might
impose.
But Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock is peculiar sort
OF Democrat and is very curious type. lie
does not want any man to believe that his
independence can be controlled. lie does not
want any man to believe that he is bound TO
any organization or owes loyalty to any man.
Ilo wants all men to believe that he is great
and free and untrammelcd political figure
and is moved only by deep conviction and
Influenced only by overpowcrng passion
for the public welfare. There are many other
men, Of course, actuatcd by just as strong
patriotism, but few who persist in parading
their independence and their freedom from all
possible restraint.
While he was making his bitter attack
upon the President and tho Democratic ad-
ministration in the Senate the other day, Mr..
Hitchcock made the rcassuring statement
again ana again tnat ne Is Stlll q democrat,
and yet he has been opposed to about every
thing that the Democratic President of the
United States and the Democratic majoritics
of the House and Senate have supported dur
ing the past five years. He was against the
Democratic tariff revision and the Democratic
currency reform plan He was against tho
canal tolls repeal. He was against the Demo
cratic brand Of neutrality after the war broke
out in 1914. He was against the Democratic
policy of permitting the purchase Of arms and
ammunition in this country by belligcrents
lie was against the sale of bclligerent bonds
IN this country to pay for beligcrent pur-
chaScs. lie was against the Democratic pro-
posal for an increase in the army and against
the Democratic bill for the purchase OF ships
In fact. it is difficult to put down from
memory any Of the Democratic policies Mr..
Hitchcock has been for. lie has been charged
win being pro-German and has been pattcd
on the back by the Germans in this country
Tor the past three years but people gcncr-
ally 40 not share in this opinion Of him lie
is probably very good American in his WAY
but from The record it is quite certain that
nc is very poor Democrat. 1t is difficult to
convince the average man that he is a Demo-
crat at ALL
