_PEACE REIGNS AT DINANT_
In short, the town of Dinant is destroyed. Of 1,400 houses only 200
remained standing. The factories where the laboring population got their
bread and butter were wrecked systematically. Many inhabitants were sent
to Germany, where they are still kept as prisoners. The majority of the
others are scattered all over Belgium. Those who stayed in the towns
were starved.
The Belgian Committee has a list of victims. It contains 700 names, and
is not complete. Among those killed are seventy-three women, thirty-nine
children between six months and fifteen years old.
Dinant has 7,600 inhabitants, of whom ten per cent. were put to death;
not a family exists which has not to mourn the death of some victims;
many families have been exterminated completely.

_LES BEAUTES DE LA GUERRE_
_Folk who do not understand them_
It is only in war that we find the action of true heroism, the
realization of which on earth is the care of militarism. That is why war
appears to us, who are filled with militarism, as in itself a holy
thing, as the holiest thing on earth.
