To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Days later I saw the towers still standing, and the statement as to the parlementaires I had from German officers of high rank, in whose speech I found nothing to warrant me in calling them liars off hand. Why not think of the art commission headed by a German privy councilor and head of an imperial museum in Berlin, which Germany sent through Belgium from Liege to Mons to tabulate works of art in churches and convents within the zone of danger and to remove them to places of safety, — not plac...es of safety in Germany but places of safety in the Rue Royale in Brussels? And these treasures when delivered there were placed under the control not of German but of Belgian curators. Why not think of the fact that, almost without exception, burgomasters, curators of museums, bishops and priests worked loyally and frankly in the cause of art with the German commission? Why not think of the fact that one of the treasures they removed from possible peril was van Dyck's "St. Martin Dividing His Cloak," a masterpiece which, merely on the basest grounds, is calculated to make an appeal to the cupidity of an invader, for its money value, so experts say, is not less than £50,000!
