I think he voiced the intent of the army to which he
belonged.
At the Palais de Justice the adjutant was not to be seen; so our guide
volunteered to write a note of introduction for us. Standing in a
doorway of the building, where a light burned, he opened a small flat
leather pack that swung from his belt, along with the excellent map of
Belgium inclosed in a leather frame which every German officer carried.
We marveled that the pack contained pencils, pens, inkpot, seals,
officially stamped envelopes and note paper, and blank forms of various
devices. Verily these Germans had remembered all things and forgotten
nothing. I said that to myself mentally at the moment; nor have I had
reason since to withdraw or qualify the remark.
The next morning I saw the adjutant, whose name was Renner and whose
title was that of major; but first I, as spokesman, underwent a search
for hidden weapons at the hands of a secret service man. Major Renner
was most courteous; also he was amused to hear the details of our
taxicabbing expedition into his lines.
