Meantime, where was the cruiser? She had slowly sailed past and was now opposite the northern end of the city, That was most troublesome, for the Com mander, the Beduin and their kafiyehs, the soldiers and their carts, had all to rush back down the street and frighten her away from the north end of the city. They all did that, and she, frightened no doubt, steamed back again to the south. Of course, they all followed her there, NNW 9b but now, even though all came, she sud denly became interested-out of caprice, o it were hud anchored directly oppo site to them all.

body thought it was going to drop
It dropped. A short of joy went up from the soldiers under the cactus hedges, from the wild, whirling Beduin, and even: from the Commander himself but a sub- dued groan from the unobtrusive crowds lining the seashore, for it had dropped into the aes instead. Now it would sink, lost for ever. The shouting, the rifle shots, the mad horseback manoeuvres-all had told, were taking effect so more of it, the Commander encouraged, to com- plete the destruction of the brown bird But he got no response except a profound and suddon silence, for there was the brown bird darting like an arrow etraight through the water, leaving a shining, frothy, white track behind at in the blue sea. It came alongside its nest, a crane stretched out its long arm protect ingly over it and gently drew it up, where in a few minutes it disappeared.

TAN PRISONERS EN MASSE:
A German battery, which was firing at the Carmelite Monastery of Chèvre mont, sought to shelter itself from the Are of a Liege fort by massing around itself people arrested from the neigh bouring villages, including women and even children.
To turn to the other side of Belgium witness gives us the following description of a German column, as if marched through a commune of the Borinage.
A witness, who was trying to return
to his village after the socond bombard- ment of Malines, met; six Germant soldiers who were bringing alongat prisoners five young girls. Our witnes was also arrested and taken on, Оп arriving at a road along which w coma pany of Belgian infantry was position, the Germans placed the girls- iu front of them, in order to preventi the Belgians from firing on the party.
Everywhere there has been a system in vogue by which great numbers of individuals whole families, and even the whole population of a hamlet or a village have been made prisoners en masse, ander some mere pretext, or for
Amongst the civilian prisoners from Brussels, wore an old gentleman, with two little girls of twelve and thirteen and a boy about ten years old.
After several days of most painful. travelling the civilian prisoners were interned at X where they found several bundred på er Belgian non-com- batants To the number of over 650: they were shut up in a granary, and forced to sleep on straw,
There were
six priests among them,
They word roused in the morning by blows and ourges, and led into a barrack square.. The punishments in vogue, were thò cella and the pillory-on which men wore exposed for hours on end--not to speak of curses and blows from sticks or the butt ends of rifles. The rooms were insanitary, and the latrine was an open onea rudimentary structure.
THE HUN WOMEN
One civilian prisoner thus describes the journey from. Louvain to Cologne :—***
We were brought down to the railway station, and shut up in catblo trucks, on whose floors there was dung. We travelled four days without receiving food of any kind, and without being. allowed to open the doors. We were sixty in each truck On the fourth night we entered Cologne, wherz wek wore led up and down the streets: Women spat in our faces.
The venerable Bishop of Tournai, an old man and an invalid, was shut up for five days at Ath, in a nauseous place where he had only a mattress to lie upon, and no food, sare what certain devoleil ladies brought him. Dealing with the massacres which took place all over the country occupied by the Germans, the Commissioners say:
In these executions there was no ques? tion of a trial-there was an arbitrary selection among a mass of innocent people, of whom some were chosen to pay for the acts of the guilty. But who were the guilty And what crimes had they committed? No one knows! Of sixty-two witnesses who appeared before us, and were cross-examined with care on this point, not one admitted that any civilians had been firing on tho enemy
One witness informed us that certain German soldiers, expressing their regret for the atrocities committed, said to some Belgian women,Don't cry- wo bare no dono a quarter of what wo were told that we might do Another witness deposen that, at the massacre of Surice, he saw one young soldier averting his eyes while copious tears ran down his uniform.
But disaster followed close on the heels of the brown bird, for that very afternoon Lord Charls Beresford loves a bit of several people were arrested by order of fun, and in his "Memoirs scores off the Commander.
