It was not the least bit safe to pay ' any attention to them ' when they began to cry "ksmernd." j Many of them carried a little pistol j called a 'squirt gun.' It shoots a small bullet like u twenty-two, hut sprays them out at short range. The J pistols keep on shooting Just os long as yon keep your finger pressed on Uie j trlsjger. They are good for short range j only. The danger was In this : If you ' rounded up two or three or more Ger-: mnns nnd ordered them to throw up 1 their hnnds they would, except thut onu of them would be a little slow. If ; you started to lower your gun or pistol to take them in tow the slow-moving ; rann suddenly threw out his squirt gun nnd opened fire. The safest thing to do was to take no chances.
