"Ah! and what do you think of the Uhlans?" He sniffed. "Rotten, sir! They never gives us a chawnce. They ain't no good except for lootin'. Regular 'ooligans. We charged 'em up near Mons, our orficer goin' ahead 'bout eight yards, and when we got up to 'em 'e drops back into our line.
Now, I hear, that there mayor has issued an order, which is to be pasted up all over, that any man caught lootin' anything, saloons or otherwise, is to be shot dead and no questions asked.

The army's called out already to help the police keep order the lootin' was disgraceful for about an hour.

"Refuse Hi did refuse, sor! Hi did more. Hi blocked 'em! Hi Hi fought hout, like a demon, sor! There were too many! Hoverpowered me, sor, they did!
Lootin' was awful and General Funston has ordered out the troops. Pipes broken and not a drop of water. They're goin' to dynamite, but only the fire-chief knew how.
