20 August, 1914. THE efforts to find the automobile signalled on the 6th were perhaps not without success. We were told to-day that an automobile with nuns in it had been seized. A child happened to call attention to the size of the nuns' hands, and it was discovered that they were no other than two German officers. Their automobile contained a large quantity of powder. These Germans were shot at Lagny almost immediately, I am told, but of this I am not positive, as I know it only by hearsay. |
