WAS IT A CORPSE FACTORY?
A GRUESOME DISCOVERY AT ST. QUENTIN. (Ree. October 7, 7.40 p.m.) London, October R. Mr. Percival Phillips writes: "The gruesome discovery of portions of a human body in a cauldron in an tinderground cookhouse at St. Quentin led to reports that a corpse factory had been found in full operation, but there ,seems to be no doub't that the bodies that wer? strewn about had been broken by the explosion. At the Mime time there was no explanation forthcoming for the presence elsewhere in the same tunnel of human remains carved up with the skill of the butcher. Surgeons and doctors state that they had been dissected for days, possibly weeks. The tunnel labyrinth is the most wonderful German shelter on the .West front. The original subterranean galleries were begun in 1789, and continued from time to time."—Aus.-X.Z. Cable Assn.
