_Placard of the 22nd August._--The military authorities declare, on the 22nd of August, that Andenne, where the "attacks of francs-tireurs" were repressed during the night of the 20th and the morning of the 21st, is already regarded by the whole civilized world as "a nest of murderers and bandits." It offers a reward of 500 to 1000 frs. to any one who will denounce the author of the plot. It also promises, to excite the zeal of the informers, that the severe measures in force will be mitigated as soon as the leaders are discovered. (No one was denounced.) _1st Placard of the 23rd August._--This announces the great victory between Sarrebourg and Metz: 21,000 French prisoners were taken. (An attempt to demoralize the population.) Note that the Wolff Agency reported only 10,000 prisoners; where did Major Scheunemann find the other 11,000? _2nd Placard of the 23rd August._--The Germans are attending to the revictualling of Andenne. (In reality the people of Andenne were starving.) _Placard of the 25th August._--The German administration is strict, but just. (The people of Andenne had noticed the severity.) _1st Placard of the 28th August._--Once again the inhabitants are urged to remain calm, and are congratulated on their good conduct. (The burgomaster was forced to countersign this proclamation. Had he seen it first?) _2nd Placard of the 28th August._--The German time is made compulsory. Assemblies of more than three persons are prohibited. If arms are found in a house their owner will be hanged. At the least disturbance, the complete burning of the town and the hanging of the men. _1st Placard of the 30th August._--The German troops, having pillaged Andenne and shot down its inhabitants, now shout "Hurrah for Andenne!" Then a fresh appeal to informers. _2nd Placard of the 30th August._--The German authorities now promise to make an inquiry if there is another revolt. (This inquiry would have been a novelty.) E.--Ferocity. We may be brief, for the cruel character of _Kultur_ is so obvious, and appears so plainly from the documents cited, that it would be idle to insist upon it.
