ENGLISHMAN SCORES ARMY OF OCCUPATION
Major Erskine Childers, an Englishman, now resident i in Dublin,
and who served with distinction in the great war, gaining
Distinguished Service Cross, has addressed the following letter to the
Commanding Officer, British General Headquarters, Dublin: ,
“I received the honor of a visit last night from a tank belonging to
your command at the somewhat inconvenient hour of 1 A. M. I do not
demur at this. War is war.
“But I suggest that it might be in the interest both of the visitors
and the visited on these occasions if a code of etiquette or deportment
were imposed upon the former.
‘It would, perhaps, be unreasonable to complain of bayonets being
flashed it in the eyes of my small boy in his cot, and of similar means of
impressing the household generally with a proper awe of the forces
“But it is a matter of legitimate complaint that a young subaltern
should, on entering the house, stroll into my drawing room in my pres-
a cigarette, and should coniinue to refresh himself in this
manner after I had invited him to desist.
he trifling scene which ensued was ended by another officer,
phe decreed an ingenious compromise under which the cigarette was to
rown unextinguished on the carpet. ~
“Upon the carpet’ was the express injuction delivered with stud-
“Thus, I was to win my point about the consumption of the cigarette
and | he was to save his dignity—by burning a hole in my carpet.’
“The point may seem trivial, but is it so? When armies are event-
ually withdrawn from occupied territory—and may I without the least
offense, express the hope that yours will be eventually withdrawn from
ours ?—it is of the most vital importance to the future relations of the
nations concerned that an army should have behind it a record for civil-
ity and humanity in the performance even of the most obnoxious duties.
Surely none can be more obnexious and more easily provocative
of exasperation than these midnight raids upon civilians’ houses about
19,000 of which have taken place, I understand, in the last two years,
often, as in my case, on false information, and often resulting in indigni-
ties and hardships infinitely.worse than anything I experienced.”
