from an attack of tho Influenza and
pneumonia, according to a letter

death for six woeks and it will tako
years to forget tho horror of It all

CHAPTER VIII.
On Runner Service.
Ono night n man named Hart el nnd
I wero detailed for runner servlco and
wero Instructed to go to Dlxmude and
deliver certain dispatches to a man
whom I will call the burgomaster nnd
report to tho branch staff headquar
ters that had been secretly located Jn
another part of town. Wo wero to
travel In an automobllo and keep a
sharp watch ns we went, for Dlxmude
was being contested hotly at thnt tlmo
nnd German patrols were In the neigh
borhood. No one know exactly whore
they would break out next
So we started out from tho third
line trenches, but very shortly ono of
our outposts stopped m. Ilartel car
ried the dispatches and drove the car
too, bo It was up to roc to explain
things to the sentries. They wero
convinced after n bit of arguing. Just
as wo were leaving n message came
over the phone from our commander,
telling them to hold us when we came.
It was lucky they stopped us, for oth
erwise we would have been out of
reach by the time his message came.
The commander told me, over the tele
phone, that If a French Hag flew over
the town the coast would be clear; If n
Belgian, that our forces were either
In control or were nbout to tako over
tho place but that Germans patrols
wero near. After this we started
again.
When we had passed the last post
we kept n sharp lookout for the Hag
on tho pole of the old fish market, for
by this we would get our bearings
nnd perhaps, if It should be a German
flag, a timely warning. Hut after wo
were down the road a bit ond had got
clear we saw n Dclglan flag whipping
around In a good, strong breeze. Hut
while that showed that our troops or
the British were about to take over
tho place It also Indicated that the
Germans were somewhere near by.
Which was'not so cheerful.
As we went throujjh the suburbs
along the canal which runs on the
edge of the town we found that all
the houses were battered up. We
tried to hall several heads that stuck
themselves out of the spaces between
buildings and stuck themselves back
Just as quickly, but we could not get
an answer. Finally we got hold of
a man who camo out from n little
cafe.
He told us that the Germans had
been through the town and had nhot
It up considerably, kilUng anil wound
ing n few inhabitants, but that shortly
rfterward a small force of Belgian
Invalry had arrived and driven tho
Roches out. The Germans were ex
pected cither to return or begin a bom
bardment ut any moment and all tho
Inhabitants who sported cellars wero
biding In them. Tho rest wero trying
to get out of town with their belong
ings ns best they could.
On reaching our objective we mndo
straight for the Hotel de VIllc, whero
wo were admitted nnd after a short
wait taken to the burgomaster. Wo
questioned him ns to news, for we had
been Instructed to pick up any Infor
mation ho might have as to conditions.
But we did not get much, for he could
not get about because of the Germans,
who had made It a policy to terrorlzo
the people of tho town.
We had Just got Into tho car nnd
wero nbout to start when tho burgo
master himself came running out. Ho
ordered us to leave the car there and
said ho would direct us whero to go.
He Insisted that we go on foot, but 1
could not understand when ho tried
to explain why.
Wo eoon saw tho probablo reason
for tho burgomaster's refusal to rldo
In the car. All around for about a
mile tho roads wero heavily mined nnd
small red flags on Iron staves wero
ituck between the cobblestones, as
wurnlngs not .to j)Ut Jn. much tlmo

notices stuck up nil around wnrnlng'
people of tho mines uml forbidding
benvy carts to pass. When wo got
off tho road I breathed again 1
After a great deal of questioning we
Qnally reached our destination nnd
mndc our report to the local coimiinnu1
tnt. We told him all we co'uld and In
turn received various Information
from him. Wo were then taken over
to tho hotel. Here we road a few
Paris newspapers, that wero several
woeks old, until nbout eight, when wo
had dinner, and a lino dinner It was,
too.
After wo had eaten nil we could, nnd
wished for more room In tho hold, wo
went out Into the garden and yarned
n while with some gendarmes, nnd
then wont to bed. We had a big room
on the third floor front. We had Just
turned In, nnd were all sot for a good
night's rest, when there was an explo
sion of n different kind from any I
had heard before, nnd wo nnd the bed
rocked nbout, like n cnuou In tho wako
of a stern-wheeler.
There wero seven more explosions,
nnd then they stopped, though wo
could hear tho rattle of a machine gun
nt some dlstnnco uway. Bartel said It
must be the forts, and nftor some argu
ment I agreed with him. He said that
the Germans must have tried an ad
vance under cover of n bombardment,
nnd that ns soon ns the forts got Into
action tho Germans breezed. Wo wero
not worried much, so wo did not gut
out of bed.
A few minutes Inter we heard foot
steps on tho roof, nnd then u woman
In a window ncross the street, asking
n gendarme whether it wits sufo to go
back to bed. Thou I got up and took
a look Into the street. There wore a lot
of people standing nround talking, but
it was not interesting enough to keep
a tired man up, so Into tho hay.
It seemed nbout the middle of tho
night when Bartel called me, but ho
said it was time to get out nnd got to
work. Wo found he had made a poor
guess, for when wo were half dressed
he looked nt his watch anil It was only
a quarter past seven, but we decided
to stay up, since wo wore that far
nlong, nnd then go down and crulso for
a breakfast.
When wo got downstairs and found
some of tho hotel peoplo It took them
n long time to get It through our heads
that there had been some real excite
ment during the night. The explosions
wero those of bombs dropped by a
Zeppelin, which hud sailed over tho
city.
The first bomb had fallen less than
two hundred yards from whero wo
slept. No wonder the bed rocked I It
had struck n narrow three-story house
around tho corner from the liojrl, nnd
had blown It to bits. Ten peoplo hnd
been killed outright, and a number
died Inter. The bomb tore a flno holo
and hurled pieces of Itself several hun
dred yards. Tho Btreet Itself was
filled with rocks, and a number of
houses were down, and others wreck
ed. When wo got out Into the street
and talked with some army men wo
found that even they wero surprised
by the forco of tho explosion.
Wo learned that the Zepp had sailed
not more than five hundred feet nbovo
the town. Its motor had been stopped
Just beforo tho Unit bomb was let go,
nnd It had slid along perfectly silent
nnd with all lights out. The purr thnt
wo had thought was mncjilno gunB,
after tho eighth explosion, wns tho
starting of the motor, as the Zopp got
out of ran no of tho guns that wero be
ing set for tho nttnek.
Tho last bomb had struck In a largo
square. It toro a holo In tho coble
Mono pavement nbout thirty feet
square and five feet deep. Every win
dow on tho bquara was smashed. Tho
fronts of tho houses wero riddled with
various sized holes. AH tho crockery

tu the main road all the way buck, or
wo would ho shot on sight, nnd to re
port to headijuartors Immediately on
our return. I thought If tho sight of
mo was so dlHtastoful to anybody, I
would not tako tho chnnco of offend

cases. So wo stuck to the main road.

happened.
While I was nround Dlxmude. I snw
ninny living men nnd women nnd chil
dren who hnd been mutilated by tho
Germans, but most of them were wom
en nnd children. Almost every ono
of thu mutllntod men was too old for
military service. The others hnd been
killed, I guess.
But the Belgians wero not tho only
ones who hnd suffered from German
kultur. Jinny French wounded wore

of our troops. It was thought that tho
Germans often mutilated it dead body
as an example to the living.
The Germnns had absolutely no re
spect whatever for the Bed Cross. For
Instance, they captured n wngon load
ed with forty French wounded, and
shot every one of them. I saw tho
dead bodies.
When the Germnns camo. to Dlr
mudo they got all the men and women
nnd children nnd mndo them march
beforo them with their hands In tho
nlr. Thoso who did not were knocked
down. After a while somo of them saw
what they were going to get, nnd being
as gntno sports ns I ever heard of, tried
to fight. They wero finished off nt
once, of course.
Tho former burgomaster hnd been
shot nnd finished off with nn ar,
though ho had not resisted, becnuso ho
u-ntitfl n nave tho lives of his citi
zens. They told mo of one case, In Dlx
mude, whero a man came out or ins
houne, trying to carry his futher, n
man of eighty, to tho square, whero
they wero ordered to report. Tho old
man could not ralso his hands, so they
irni'fixi his son uwnv from him,
knocked the old man In tho head with
nn nx, ond left him thero to die. Thoso
who were spared wero mudo to dig tho
graves for the others.
There was n doctor thcro In Dlx

Then ho snw his wlfo and baby being

they grunted him permission. As hu
