SHOT HIS OWN MEN. BRIGADIER-GENERAL’S STORY. I i f ’’PANIC SPREADS SO EASILY.” United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. (Received August 9, 11.45 a.m.) LONDON, August 8. “The Men I Killed” is the title of a book written by Brig-adier-General Crozler, who describes how he himself shot a young British offloer who was running when he had orders to hold the line at all costs. “Panic spreads so easily,” he said. He also ordered machine-guns and rifles to be trained on fleeing Portuguese allies. On another occasion he himself shot an infuriated British soldier who \ was attacking a Frenchwoman during a retreat. He says that other officers acted in the same way. One emptied a revolver into soldiers who were panicking.
