To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the first day of mobilisation there passed through Cologne, from 8 p. m. till 4 a. m., sixty-four troop trains, on one track without the least hitch. What truth there is in these assertions I cannot say, but I do know that the hundreds of troop trains that I saw in various parts of Germany and Poland, fol- lowed each other at intervals of from eight to fifteen minutes. CHAPTER XXIX KETEOSPECT THE three outstanding sensations of those fourteen days in Poland, as I look back on them now, seem ...to be : Fascination, horror and cold. Yet with it all it was an interesting experience. When I try to focus my mind on the many and varied scenes I witnessed, they stand out against a large white background of snow and woods. On this background, then, there appear gradually in my mind's eye smaller details of men, transports and animals ; thousands and thousands of Russian prisoners, and long sinister processions of am- bulance sleighs crawling along, sometimes over tracks that were called roads only by courtesy.
