“MEN I KILLED”
WAR-TIME HAPPENINGS Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, August 8. (■Received August 9, at 11 a.m.) ‘The Men I Killed’ is the title'of a book written by Brigadier-general Crozier, who describes how he himself shot a young British officer who was running away when he had orders to hold the line at all costs. “ Panic spreads so easily,” the author said. He also ordered machine guns and rifles to be trained on fleeing Portuguese allies. On another occasion he himself shot an infuriated British soldier who was attacking a French woman during a retreat. He says other officers did similarly. One emptied his revolver into soldiers who were in a state of panic.
