The London Globe prints a gruesome story of the
manner in which the French Senegalese soldiers
have followed up victories over German troops. The
account is contained in a letter from a reader of the
Globe who claim to have witnessed the incidents.
"It is a wonder", reads a letter to the Globe, "that the
French and British troops have not retaliated on the
Germans for the terrible atrocities committed by the
latter. The Tucos and Senegalese, however are not so
scrupulous.
"One Senegalese warrior is walking about Havre with
a neck lass of German ears strong across his
shoulders. Another carries at his waist the gory head
of a Uhlan with a dented picklehaube set with a
rakish tilt over one eye.
" A wounded Turco was put into the carriage of a Red
Cross train with four wounded Germans. At the first
stop, a doctor came to the window and asked if they
were all right. The Turco replied that the Germans
were resting peacefully.
"It was not until the train reached the destination
that it was discovered how peaceful their rest was.
The Turco had strangled all four of them."
One can quite understand the French desire to gets
at the Germans. The letter stated. " I hear first hand
stories, not third hand , "yarns" that make the blood
run cold. All boys whom they catch have their right
arms cut off sometimes at the wrist, sometimes at
the elbow. Both boys and girls are mutilated in
revolting fashion. Quite close in Arras a three weeks
old child was torn from its mothers breast and
hacked into bits before her eyes."
