At some little distance is another shed—for the sick.
In the open field "places" are fenced round, bearing the notices:
—"For men." "For women."
Very well arranged.
Even in front of the shed where hot water is given out for tea, a wooden barrier has been erected, just as in front of a theatre box-office.
—So as to avoid crowding, and that the people may keep order and come in their turn—explained the provincial watchman.
Afterwards, when we see multitudes of refugees using these "points," the remembrance of these details makes us smile.
But it is good that even here they've begun to do things as they should.
Later, when the great wave of fugitives bursts in upon this place, these warmed buildings will save many a life.
