EXPOSE OF
DEVILTRY OF
THE HUNS
WITH THE BRITISII-AM EKK'AN
ARMIES, Dec. 21.—German deviltry
seemed to know no bounds in the last
days of the fighting on the British
front after the Hindenburg line had
been shattered They attached gren
ades to the bodies of dead Huns left
behind in the German retreat, so that
when the bodies were liften the gren
ades exploded, killing or wounding
the bearers
Near the town of I.a Gateau, a num
ber of Australian stretcher-bearers
were killed by these grenades in at
tempting to remove some German
dead from the field in front of an
American machine-gun position.
Thereafter no Australian would put
hand on a dead German. In some
cases the bodies were dragged to
their burial places by means of a
long rope which allowed the stretch
er-bearers to keep out of range of any
exploding hand-grenades.
The Americans, on the other hand,
hit upon the plan of making the Ger
| man prisoners bury their own dead.
! In one instance a Boche prisoner was
i summarily shot because he refused to
! remove the body of one of his dead
| companions An examination of the
I body later led to the discovery that
: it was mined. The German was aware
of this fact and refused to touch it
In one. small town evacuated by the
Germans, many of the beds were
found to be mined. An American offi
cer, tired and worn by long and
hard fighting, sought rest on a lounge
in a room previously occupied by a
German officer. The lounge blew up
and he was instantly killed.
Another officer picked up a pair of
field-glasses left by the Germans and
was adjusting tin* focus when the
glasses exploded in his hands and
blew away a part of his face.
The Huns had become adept in the
nefarious business of making infern
al machines, mines and time fuses,
and there was scarcely an area where
the electrical and engineering experts
of the allies did not find some new
form of their fiendish ingenuity.
