who had fought in Belgium. All were
of the opinion that the Belgian dead
numbered as many civilians as SOL

who fought in Belgium do not admit
the cruelties committed against the
Belgians, it cannot be denied that at
least 80 per cent of the cruelties
known to the world to have been COM
mitted in Belgium were only too true.

fire. The Inhabitants either fell in the
flames or became the victims in the
streets to the gun barrels of the Ger

At the time doubted the words of
my neighbor, even though 1 had seen
what German warfare meant. After
a few days I was released from the
hospital and again restored to my de-
tachment. Partly by auto. partly by
foot, reached my detachment by ten
o'clock in the evening. Our transport
moved this time over Trier to Luxem
burg. The little grand duchy of Lux
emburg was overrun entirely by Ger
man soldiers. The Germans who had
made their homes in Luxembourg had
everything taken away from them, es-
pecially the farmers, all food, without
thought of payment. SO that in Luxem-
burg at this time there was q shortage
of food The people here as well as
in Belgium were very friendly, yet they
harbored terrible bitterness against

change of diet-will make us all
easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. It is so
easy to become overheated on a
blazing hot day, especially after
eating a hearty meal. And then
the excessive heat makes us flood
our stomachs with all kinds of
cold drinks. That's bad at any
time; much worse-even danger
ous-when there is the slightest
feeling of stomach trouble.
Keep the stomach sweet and
cool and free from too much acid
that's about all that is neces-
sary. It's not SO much the diet
as to keep the poison from start

this if you will just take tablet or

were contradictory. 1t was impossible
to get clear picture. In the mean
time the artillery bombardment had
become so intense that 1t Mortified
even the German soldiers. The heavi-

against the steel and concrete de-
lenses.
No soldier so far knew anything of
the existence of the 42-centimeter NOR

man hands these soldiers could not
understand how it was possible that

comrades told me later how the cap

Artillery of all caliber was trained on
the forts. but it was the 21-centimeter
mortars and the 42s which performed
the real work
From distance the 42-centfmeter
projectiles were heard to arrive. to the
accompaniment of a fearful kissing

Screech which filed the whole at

away with an insane cry of pain.
Everything developed by seconds.
The blood of the Belgian ran out of
my friends mouth; a terrible nausea
and indescribable loathing seized him.
The taste of warm human blood
brought him almost to the verge Of in
sanity. In the course of this night
battle I came in contact for the first
time with the butt of a Belgian gun.
During q hand-to-hand fight with a
Belgian. a second enemy soldier
struck me on the back of the head
with the butt of his gun so hard that
my helmet was forced down over my
ears. The pain was fearful and
tainted
When 1 revived, 1 was lying in a
barn. with my head bandaged, among
other wounded men. My wound was
not severe. 1 only had a feeling as If
my head was twice it's normal size.
The other wounded soldiers and the
ambulance men said the Belgians had
been forced back within the forts and
that hard fighting was still in prog
reSs.
Wounded men were brought in con-
tinuously and they told US that the
Germans had already stormed several
forts and had taken a number of main
and auxiliary defenses, but could not
hold them because they had not been
sufficiently supported by artillery. The
defenses inside the forts and their gar
risons were still intact. The situation
was not ripe for a storming attack, so
the Germans had to retire with enor-
