SILENT, GRIM, BEASTLY BUTCHERY OF SOLDIERS
| PAGES DESCRIPTION OF WORLD WAR FIGHTING
Col. Squier, American.
First Observer Allowed
On Allied Front.
Has Narrow Escapes
From Bombs While
Watching Warfare.

There's nothing Of the old glory of
war-the charge, the yell, the music,
the clash. and the giving way of one
side or of the other. That's all gone.
When they bayonet one another to
death, more men come from the rear
and fill the same bitches. Just plain,
beastly butchery of men in such num-
bers as were never before killed in
battle in so short a time, every mOlli-
flying thing gone-use any weapon, lie
in the mud wounded for IL hours, lie
dead unburied for days; and when
bombs strike a farmhouse and kill a
family, that's not a subject even of
passing remark.
Some OF the English officers said to
Col. Squier: How are we to get out
Of this? The awfulness OF it passes
belief. But what can we do? Run
and let the Germans take the coast
and Paris? That's our only alter
native. We can hold them and kill
them and be killed ourselves till their
nerve gives out or their men are ex-
hausted, or their ammunition is all
gone: but until some one or more of
them far: nor can they drive US"
The allies can keep putting in mil
lions of men with ammunition and
food so long as they can get them as
they now get them. The Germans
also can keep the same pace very
long time-unless the Russians re-
quire an ever-increasing German army
on the east; and whenever the Russians
get into German territory there will
be another trench deadlock. The two
trench deadlocks will, Of course. at last
wear the Germans out; but if it go on
as this deadlock has now been in
France for several months the war
may last five years. BY that time
most surviving men in Germany
France and England and hundreds of
thousands in Russia will be cripples;
and this side of the world will con-
sist chiefly of women.
OF course this sort of thing can't
go on till annihilttion has overtaken
them. But I can't yet see how it can
be ended till Germany will agree to
restore Belgium. When Germany will
agree to that-after Russia has got

no reason but the English silence. In

The favor shown to Squier, as l

as Il personal compliment to Squier.

And except for the noise of
the guns it's silent war. No buGles,
no music. no shouted commands. The
officers dress as the men; even a strip
of red on the collar is too good "a
target. The officer gives his orders by
silent motions: nobody speaks. No
body wears a sword. or a riband, or
a stripe-just deadly, silent, grim
striving to death.
No army has begun 10 report all its
dead. In fact. it is doubtful if the
commanders themselves know their
losses with accuracy. Recruits are
all the time coming. and new men
take the vacant places in the old
regiments.
The horror of this thing outruns all
imagination. Yet somehow nobody
seems to realize it-men marched into
the trenches to certain slaughter as
cattle when they are driven into the
killing house in StOCkEard. There's
no chance to escap9-so nearly no

His going was very secHetly ar

to be made known. 1t is known
here only to few Of the highest
officials, and the officers of other
armies are kent in ignorance. Col,
Squier remained at the front five

Of the British army, saw every sort Of
military operations in progress, from
front trenches a few yards from the
enemy back to bases; he was treated
with the greatest courtesy and cor

thing, and throughout kept a diary.
He is just returned to London and
has been informally told that in the
near future he may so to the front
again if no word of his visit leak out.
