Reale:rending fltripio u of 0 itte
rage on Station Platform
hi Belgium.
From the Ted,- the leading Re -
mate Cathelle Meech paper, is taken
the lollownkng letter ciron its Belgian
wae 'correspondent, elated October
14a- . •
• I travelled eon a train containing
moee 'than two hundred • woinideel
eoldiere, in ibsejf # terrible thing
because of the.often unbearable
smell of the open wounds', With me
was a girl of nine, the little dangle -
ter of Mr: de Bruin, of A'nuterderri,
whom I had taken from a •eonvene
in Lonvaie to stenciled saeoly.acroes
the border to Maastricht. As fir
asposeible I sod with my libtee
protege on'the balcony of our car,
where we had .some fresh air at
least.
We arrived in Landen, a lathe
village between Meilen -and War -
enema Here. we had to stop for
some forty minutes in order to give
the woueded soldiers a meal'. Out
of a big wash basin every one got le
plebe of soup, and 1 and my lebble
cempanion .also *ere provided with
one. Having eaten I trod -the rail-
way platform up and dawn to get
80The movement for my stiff limbs,
for we had a full day's journey 'still
before us.
No Food for Five Days.
All of a sudden I notie,ed a huge
gathering in .front of one of +elm lase
cars. I went there, and what saw
I won't forget all mi life. Oh -that
• I never had seen it ! Between some
wounded Frenchmen three severely
*Mended Engliee soldiers lay on,
their backs upon some straw. They
• looked miserable and eompletelee
worn out. Upon information I was
bold that these men had had no food
ter five continuous days. Before
the open doors of the luggage van
seamd between two and three hun-
dred German soldiers partly be-
Maging to the slightly -wounded pas-
sengers, partite, to the garrison of
the 1-illage, the latter evidently bete
ing ordered to give out the food.
And these two or three hundred
soldiers stood there yelling and
• ageing, jeering and swearing at
these three badly wounded English-
men who lay there utteedy .helpless
on the small heaps of dirty straw,
• nob heyina eaten for •five 'days !Then
the bowrs with hot soup were
breught under their very noses and
the Germans creed :—"You want to
eat? -Swine, you dirty Emilie 1 Beat
them bo death, murder them !Death
is ael they can get !"
And, saying this, they drew their
rifles upon the hungry. helpless and
bleeding human beings. Others
spat upon their Clothes and in their
faces, and their general behavior
was that ef lunatics, to say nothing
worse. With broken eyes, indicat-
ing the aproa.ch of •deatb, one Eng -
Hellman albernately looked upon his
tormentors and the eoup unable to
utter a word any more, though his
eyes still asked for pity and implor-
ed for mercy with his terrible suf-
ferings.
Turn Reads Away in Agony.
The other two had turned their
heads away and lay almost uncon-
scious, with closed eyes. At last
the first one also• shut his eyes and
ettraeci his face away with a look of
wildest despair. The soldiers con-
tinued yelling and swearing, spit-
ting and menacing them with their
rifles, using the most vile and ob-
scene language. Others who did not
participate at, 'least laughed at the
heliplesandes of their enemies, and
they -did nothing to stop their cone-
eades.
I stood still—inotioneess• stupe -
ed, petrified, and for a long ,time
was unable to otter a syllable.
'Ilhen, however, I walked up to a
sergeant who stood near and who
laughed. Sh•iverin-g over my -whole
body, I faintly mu lite red , "Sir,

And to allow bee German anthori-

oughly I will give the following
nearer 'details :—The scene I wit-
nessed and tried to describe—for

way station of Lan -den on Friday,
October 9, in bhe train -thee arrived

After the trent started again and
some Soldiers began speeking to me,

erable English soldiees, lying upon

Weeps 'Because of Scene.
'Wen all of aeudden 1 beg -an to

any 1 -anger under control, end final-
ly wept like a little child, and at
last I gained thereby a crumb of
comfort, a graia of solicituele. But
I am ill again the moment I think
of Obese Englishmen.. It is elle womb
scene I wilnesse-d yet, and I have
been fax two continuous monehs
amid 'the 'most terrible herr-ors of

Before our teaboloal arrived nt
Landen some German eoldiere had
told nee already that they simply
murdered 'the English -wounded beset
fell into their hand. Some others
had denied this, it is brue, or at
least said that it had nob happened
in their regiments, but one of them
told me that by his company alone
no fewer bhan bweirby-six English
eaptives had -been ennefiabed and
finally murdered-. I would net be-

that I may not make the whole Ger-

Crude drawings ,of cows of vary-
ing proportions, some in attitudes
of defence, belligerency, or in graz-
ing positions, were noticed by
French officers during the early
day -s Of the campaign on the 'Aisne.
The sketches Esterase were consider-
ed elle simple efforts of school -chil-
dren, bob the frequency with which
this subject appeared on walls,
'buildings, bridges and in every
available place in the departments
of Oise and Somme puzzled French
officers Who conducted is thorough

vinced that elle system was used by
German scouts bo direct •the armies
that were to follow. •
There was .a great varietydn the
sizes of the drawings and in the
positions of .the heads and other
parbiculare. By comparing notee
and .detes it was disoovered that
these crude piebure,s had -a very in-
timate relation with paesing events.
'Certain categories of the pieturee
coincided in every case with the
same developments in bee military
operations and eoneinuing their
reeearches, they discovered a per-
fect System of communication had
thus been organized, similar to tile
system often employed by gypeies
and tramps for tedicating informa-
tion te those of their confreres that

The position of the animal'ehead
was made to indicate the direction
in which the French troops were to
