that while she is out on lionchshe

Bombs Dropped by the Allied
A irmen.
Writing from the Belgian front-

ent of the London Daily Express

-Systematie air raids over the
German positions in Northern Bel-
gium are responsible for casualties

risons.
'Marines and iniantiamen have
been sent to Bruges and other base

which drop bombs at the !mist un-
expected times, and - often with
telling effeet, has been too much
for the middle-aged Wort-tea:berg-
ers and raw men of the Man:ascii
brigade, who are leading a kind of
troglodyte existence among the
de nes.
A garrulous seatry on the Dutch
frontier made this confession to a
neutral who heel wandered to the
edge of the war zone, hoping to
catch a glimpse of the troops exer-
cising beyond the first fringe of
sandhills.
The sentry was of comfortable
thiokness, with a beard, a family in
Karlsruhe, and a grievance. He
was Perhaps fifty years of age, and
until the first week in December a
member of the Karlsrahe fire bri-
gade. Then he fell into the mili-
tary dragnet and was swept across
Germany, through Belgium, to the
edge of the North Sea, where con-
templation of that restless waste
of waters has driven his simple soul
to the verge of madnees.
"We came to Belgium to fight
for the Fatherland, not to be shot
at like ea,bbits in a wilderness," he
said to a neutral who stood beside
the German flag marking the limit
of military occupation.
"It was bad enough for our :nen
behind the Yser," he continued,
"but this infernal Zeebrugge is
much'rse-nothine bet rain and
wet sand, and the bombs of the
English falling at all hours, And
the sight of all this water being
churned about makes me sick.'
` He was obsessed by bombe.
"Might Blow Holes In Us."
"Those vexclammt aeroplanes
oome singing over us," he co).'
plained, as he threw the butt of
his dead cigar into the send and
ground it savagely with his boot,
"they come sailing down so that
you could see the mad savages in-
side if you cared to look, and then
they drop their little bombs, which
blow holes in elle sand and some-
times in the houses, and might
blo-w holes in us.
"At first it was amesing to see
them dodging about when the
shrapnel began .to fly, but they
kept corning again and again like
birds that had got to .know us, and
no,w they are bolder than ever.
''Itis all very well to sit under
shell fire in the trenehes but I do
not like -bombs from the sky. Some
cif eta men have been sent lback to
the depot for a rest, because they
are 11 0 t ued 80 'such an ordeal."
The sentry's admiesien has 'been
confirmed by news from other
'sources in Belgium. The repeated
raids of the allies' -aircraft are
keeping the coa,sh defence troops at
high eension, A portion of the
Zeebeugge garrison is on duty
every night, manning the ,anti-air-
cratt guns, electric searchlights
and signal. stations. There have
, been anany false alarms, reeniting
in wild Insilades against imaginary
theeoplanes, end the turning ont,,,f
all the garrison gunners.
Se far en 10011 aseertain, there
have net ben any German 1000P's
killed in the recent bomb attacks,
but eaany have bled nerrow ,
One bomb, apparently aimed et
the outer harbor, where submar-
ines are supposed to shelter, nearly
hit a party of marines engaged in
repairing the railway line whieh
run -s along the breakwater. It ex-
ploded on the breakwater itself,
tearin,g away a section of the outer
protecting wall.
The result of this "bit" hes been
_the steady wearing away ef this
portion of the massive stone upper
works at every high tide, when en-
ormous waves dash through the
breach, washing out the cement:,
loosening the stones, and adding to
the difficulties of the engineers who
are trying to effect repairs.
Zeebrugge a Desolate Spot.
Zeebrugge is undoubtedly the
most desolate spot in the German
militery zone. It is effectively cut
off from the rest of the invaded ter-
ritory by a. well of sentries who
prevent communication between
the troops within and those with-
out.
The movements of the garrison
are rigorously supervised. The Ger-
mans are afraid that further de-
tails of their new defence prepara-
tions will reach,their enemies by
way of the Dutch frontier, and the
men actually engaged on them are
warned thae any one discovered
talking with 0 civilian will be sum-
marily shot.
Between the southern edge 'of
Blamkenberge and the northern end
of Knocke the strip of flat come is
AS bleak and forbidding a, pictufe
as can be imagined.
There are .great gaps in ehe rows
of hotels and villas, marking the
methodical devastation ordered by
artillery officers that, the new gees
may heve a clear range seaward.
The church ah Blankenberge is a
marine sto rehouse '• the railway s ba -
tion near by has ,been partly de-
stroyed all the buildings that are
still inhabitable contain troops bil-
leted as compactly as sardines in a
tin:
Columns of mariees and Land-
eterm infantry are turned out in
the wet sand for exercise each day.
There is nothing else for them to
do. They can be seen from the neu-
tral dunes north of Knocke tramp-
iO3 dispiritedly en and clOwn beside
the tumbling breakers, while of-
fices' s stroll about and occasionally
peer seaward with their. glasses.
There 10 nothing bo look at but
the waste of white capped waters
wrapped in mist, with sometimes
the shadowy form of a distant war-
ship to remind them that they have
not been forgotten. There is no
sound' except the steady rumble of
ehe land guns 'below Ostsed and the
whistle of the wind which sweeps
across the, empty plain toward
Bruges. The rain beats on them
unceasingly, and when, the dark-
Dess descends they go to their clarle
ened ,houseis bebind the dunes to
dream of .bombs that drop in the
night.
The Belgian coast has ceased to
be an ideal health resort.

Which he has adopted. This enweb
I learn from a pernim who has ex-
ceptional opportunities of j-udging.
Since the "personal factor ' plays
so laege a role in wax, I heye
thought it useful to set down „some
unpublished facts concerning : the
Comonender-incethiel. His self -
Control., the seenor that he has'
forged for himself, does not pre-
vent him from feeling amitelyeach
time he has to inflict aets of. diseip-
line upon °there Thus, when he
cashiered aVe generals after the
,southern •inanoeuvres ef 1913, he
suffered es severely, perhaps, as
the victims. But he steeled hhuself
to, peeform what he considered to
be his duty -in the name of France.
His .whole duty, as soldier a.ncl
organizer of victory, is bis religion;
France is his second mother. He
has no formal cult beyond that of
country, no higher eleasure than
to "faire du 'hien." It explains his
character; a deep faith in "le pat-
rieal„ coupled with a n-atural bene-
volence. It explains his tenacity
in his present poet. "Il faut tenir
,bon,"' his letters are hill of such
expressions -it explains his popu-
larity with the French soldier.
t1 iiid 'Irnined to Hie Neetle.
Ioffre's calmness then, in the
most dreadful hours of confliet, is
the result of will. He is the master
.of his fate, the captain of his soul,
in the true Henley sense. He trains
his mind, like his body, rby constant
exercise, by setting it tasks. The
only way he can support the im-
mensity of 'his work is by an iron
rule never to commit excees. His
strict moderation has enabled him
to keep his health even in the heats
of Africa, and Madagascar, and to
escape unscathed frem 17.years of
colonial service. Scarcely smoking
ur employipg strong drink, he
avoids social functions which entail
late hours. He leaves his -rare din-
ner parties early in the evening
that he may be fresh for the MO l' -
YO N' . Ris day at the Ministry of
War, in peace times, was prefaced
by a -1,7),Ilop in the Bois,,but this ex-
ercise was supplemented by a, walk
from his bureau to his home at Au-
teuil -a good three miles.
He comes from farmer stock ;
hence his health. His father was a
landowner whose fruitful vines, un-
der the careful management of
Mine, Soffre mere, brought a small
fortune of 830,000 to each of the
eleven children -mo mean attain-
ment in those times. The great cap-
tain inherits his order and method
from his mother, who was a care-
ful ,maneger even amongst the care-
ful managers of the south. For her
he had e great affection ; with him,
as' with most Frenchmen and all
s ou the niers, the family tie is
strong.
His Spoiled Holiday.
Tradition and conti»uity are as
much coesidered as if the chateau
which he nuw inhabits were the
Vatican and he the Pope. Each.of
his officers is well tried in his per-
sonal service, erica has been with
him at verities times in his career.
When war ,hroke out, Ioffre reas-
sembled his old aides to form a har-
monious whole. They knew his
"system" and methods of work,
and could replace him in the un-
happy event of disablement through
illness or the varioes attempts
made againet him by the enemy.
But Joffre is well guarded -by bis
corps d'elite. A pleasant fiction
credits his wife with Following and
watching over his feed. But the
strict fact is that Mine, joffre never
saw her husband during four -and -a -
half months, and now rarely re-
ceives his visit when he descends
upon .Paris by motor car, Out of
deference for the rule that be Gen-
eral has established fer his subor-
dinates, Mine, joffre refrains from
obtreding upon the master- in his
great responsibilities. The same
feeling of delicacy prompted her at
Bordeaux, where she stayed 0
niontli-tbe most trying in the oper-
ations7-to hide her identity uiCle
her maiden name. •
