General von BULOW. Translation: ORDER TO THE POPULATION OF LIEGE The population of Andenne, after manifesting peaceful intentions toward our troops, attacked them in the most treacherous manner. With my authorization the general who commanded these troops has reduced the town to ashes and has shot 110 persons. I bring this fact to the knowledge of the City of Liege so that its people may understand the fate which awaits them if they assume a like attitude.] [Illustration: How the simple pleasures of the German soldier were restricted. DIESES HAUS IST ZU SCHUeTZEN Es ist streng verboten, ohne Genehmigung der Kommandantur, Haueser zu betreden oder in Brand zu setzen. Die Etappen-Kommandantur. Translation: THIS HOUSE IS TO BE PROTECTED It is strictly forbidden to enter houses or set them on fire without the permission of the Kommandantur] The Burgomaster set out on foot to walk back three kilometers and catch a tram to Liege, and we went southeast to Dalhem, where we spent the night at the Chateau de Dalhem, on a hill overlooking the picturesque little village snuggled in the bottom of the valley. It was off the main line of march, and had not suffered. The chateau belongs to General Thyss, who was a great friend of the late King Leopold. He was not there, but the place was being protected by a splendid old dragon in the shape of a German governess who had been with the family for over thirty years, and refused to leave when the war broke out. She had been obliged to lodge a crowd of German officers and some of their men, but held them down with an iron hand, kept them from doing any damage and made them pay for every egg and every bottle of wine they had. We arrived after dark and threw the place into a panic of fear, but Monsieur Francqui soon reassured everybody, and the place was lighted up and placed at our disposal in short order. Although it was pitch dark when we arrived, it was only half past four and we set out on foot to stretch a little. The moon came out and lighted our way through the country roads. We tramped for a couple of hours through all sorts of little towns and villages and groups of houses, some of them wiped out and some hardly touched. General Thyss's cellars are famous, and with our dinner of soup and bacon and eggs, we had some of the finest Burgundy I have ever tasted. Early to bed so that we could be up and off at daybreak.
