FROM THE RHINE TO SEDAN. 265 argument of blood and iron. Sedan, like most towns which are surrounded by fortifications, is very densely built, with narrow streets and few open spaces. Putting out of view the civilian population, it was literally crammed with troops who had crowded into it in the illusive hope to escape from under the torture of the German nre. Every shell thrown into the place must have told, and shells were rained upon it in hun- dreds. A Bavarian battalion, moving forward on ...the suburb of Torcy, pushed on toward one of the gates of the fortress. Little resistance had been encountered, and preparations were being made for the escalade of the palisades, when the white flag was run up over the local position. The French officer in command at the same time desired the Bavarian colonel to desist from any further prosecution of his attacks, and expressed the desire that the Germans should enter into negotiations. The Bavarian colonel reported the situation to General Maillenger, the commander of the brigade, who moved up the nearest troops to points just outside the Torcy gate, and sent an officer up to the Frenois hill-top to inform the King of the French proposals to negotiate.
