CHAPTER I
THE FLASH FROM THE GUNS
"I tell you, Bart, I don't like the looks of things,"
remarked Frank Sheldon to his chum, Bart
Raymond, as the two stood on a corner in the
German city of Coblenz on the Rhine.
"What's on your mind?" inquired Bart, as he drew
the collar of his raincoat more snugly around his
neck and turned his back to the sleet-laden wind
that was fairly blowing a gale. "I don't see anything
to get stirred up about except this abominable
weather. It's all I can do to keep my feet."
"It is a pretty tough night to be out on patrol duty,"
agreed Frank. "But it wasn't that I was thinking
about. It's the way these Huns have been acting
lately."
"Are you thinking of that sergeant of ours that was
found stabbed to death the other night?" asked
Bart, with quickened interest.
"Not so much that," replied Frank, "although that's
one of the things that shows the way the wind is
blowing. But it's the surly way the whole population
is acting. Haven't you noticed it?""There certainly is a difference," admitted Bart.
"Everything was peaches and cream when we first
came. The people fairly fell over themselves in
trying to tell us how glad they were to have the
Americans here instead of the French and English.
Now they're getting chesty again. A couple of
fellows passed me a little while ago who looked at
me as if they'd like to slip a knife into me if they
dared."
"They hate us all right," declared Frank. "It makes
them sore as the mischief to have Americans
keeping the watch on the Rhine. They're mad
enough to bite nails every time they're reminded of
it."
"And that's pretty often," laughed Bart, "for they
can't go out into the street without seeing an
American uniform somewhere. We've got this old
town pretty well policed, and if any trouble starts
we'll put it down in a jiffy."
"Well, trouble's coming all right," prophesied Frank.
"There are lots of new faces in the city, fellows who
seem to have come from the outside. You know
Germany's being ripped up the back everywhere
by mobs, and the red flag is flying in Berlin. I have
a hunch that these outsiders have come to start
the same thing here."
"If they do they'll get more than they bargained
for," said Bart grimly. "They'll find they're
monkeying with a buzz saw. What our fellows
would do to them would be a sin and a shame. But
