Nicholas, the headquarters of the General commanding on the west, I ran again into the uneasy, strained atmosphere of the 139 FROM THE TRENCHES towns near the fighting line. It was familiar at Namur and elsewhere. Uncertainty, con- stant coming and going, parade, spy-mania, secrecy, and military rule. In such places the civilian is like a child confused in the middle of a race-course ; something to be herded and scurried out of the way ; suspicion of others is the only safe outlet for his panic... feeling. We do not know this condition yet in England. May we never experience it ! To catch an eye is to create an enemy. A sudden movement brings a rush of the silent crowd. An outward routine ; an inward volcano of fear, mistrust, and over- strained nerves. The soldiers at the front, if one can get there, are friendly enough. Only for the moment, when men are going into, or are actually in action, does the ' war-mask ' make a man remote and unaccountable. Out of action the more humorous northerner drops it gladly ; the southerner, less easily.
