But war has left her mute, and me despairing.
They call for horses; must I sacrifice
The steed with whom I've taken many an airing?
Poor Pegasus—and none too well-conditioned!
Must he be requisitioned?
From parallel columns in The Evening News:—
| "Haelen is forty-five miles northwest of Liége; | "The centre of the battle was at Haelen(thirty miles |
| it is fifty miles east of Brussels." | northwest of Liége and thirty miles from Brussels)." |
This is simply to deceive the Germans.
