My platoon consisted of fifty-five men, two buglers, and an ambulance patrol of four. In Leoben my wife and I remained a week, which was spent in organizing, equipping, requisitioning, recruiting, and preliminary drilling. These were happy days, as we officers met for the first time, friendships and bonds being sealed which subsequently were tested in common danger and amidst privation and stress.
There had been a run upon them, because a decree had been issued in the morning forbidding flour to be sold, and requisitioning all the biscuits in stock.
The step was, however, a cruel one, for the Duke of Cumberland at once laid siege to the place, battered a breach in its ancient wall, and the garrison were forced to surrender. Many of them were afterwards executed and imprisoned, and ruin fell upon all. Charles with his army marched north to Glasgow, where they remained eight days, requisitioning supplies from the town.
I don't know how much of a jar it would take to make this thing go off. A chuck-hole might do it." Pachuca, evidently depressed, relapsed into silence. It was growing colder and darker would they never get there? However, she would not have been Polly had she kept still. "Señor Pachuca, what did you mean by requisitioning goods?

"If you'll put that thing down I'll try to explain to you the difference between stealing and requisitioning property in war times," he said, angrily. "If you'll turn the car around you can explain all the way back to Athens," said Polly, sharply. "I'm awfully tired and stiff and my hand is shaky the man who gave me this gun told me it was ready to go off.
Just a little this side of the great railway bridge, that lies shattered by dynamite, is an excellent day-school building, which Messrs. Huskisson and Darroll, of the South African General Mission, succeeded in requisitioning for the purposes of a Soldiers' Home, and excellent work is being done in it, though necessarily on a small scale.
Plundering had been going on in the name of "requisitioning"; the country was full of soldiery whose capacity for mischief-making was well known to us, and it was torture to think of what might be happening in our peaceful homes where so few men had been left for protection. All the barbed-wire fences, we heard, had been torn up and sent north for the construction of barricades.
