The colon ists were hnpnv and the eovern ment was as nroud as punch over its rondel exoeriment. Into this Arcadian scene stalled the beast. Th Bosche lonp had hated the colonists because the latter were ant'-Nai and there were manv underground workers among them. So the invaders, even though thev wore about to sur render, flooded thp hapov Eden. The Hitlerites blow two hupe pans in the tall dvke and the little Dutch boy's thumb couldn't cope with that. The flood tore throuph the oneninps and cov ered the land to a depth of 15 feet in nlaces. The Germans did notify the colonv a few hours in advance so that there was no loss of human life and only two per cent of the cattle were drowned. But the lovelv farm houses and the villaees with their handsome churches and ouhlle buildings targelv dissolved in th waters. Even the trees were killed.
