"There was, I am informed, no strategic excuse for this, all move- merit of the troops . being at three to nd the city r unoccupied. General : Focb, ,of the ' French, and General r Douglas Ilaiff, of the English, are ab solutely at a loss to understand the miserable wantonness of this act. "Arras is in the same unhappy con dition.)

It is against the head and the -heads of the military despotism by which they are governed that I repeat this.

' "There is but one question that can artsef in anybody's mind regarding all this:: How will the allies , behave when they arrive in Germany? Nam , ly, the question of reprisals.
