AMSTERDAM. Oct. l5.-Prof. Bosserer,
who was sent to investigate the health
OF the German troops in the west. re-
ports very numerous cases OF dysentery
and Inflammation OF the lungs and sew
eral cases OF typhoid.
He ascribes the illness to the fact
that the soldiers were compelled TO
spend five days and nights in trenches
half Allied with water. 1t was lmpos-
sible to revictual the troops and they
were dependent on their knapsack ra-
tons. which became widowed. The un-
sanitary conditions increased with the
impossibility of removing the dead and

Paper Keeps out Cold.
The continuance OF cold, wet weather
has made the plight of the men in the

well equipped with blankets and water

combating cold and dampness by means
Of sheets ~ parchment, which they

Ostend is practically a deserted city.
Belgian and British troops have been
transferred southwark, many detach-

ton, probably at Calais or Boulogne,
while several columns marched in the
general direction of the allies left wing
The only persons left in Ostend are
the civil authorities and a few thousand
citizens and visitors who haunt the

there is no means Of transporting them

The Wentworth. one OF the four
steamships which were the last to leave
Ostend. arrived at Folkestone to-day
bringing 1000 refugees. Among these
were some Belgian soldiers. These were
not wounded and their flight signifed
that the taking OF Ostend by the Ger
mans was regarded as certain and i'm
minent and that all persons who would
have been held IA prisoners by the Ger
mans had been ordered to leave.
The Kenilworth left Ostend at 4
o'clock last night. No Germans had
been seen. out all regular communica-
ton between Ostend and England has
been stopped.
Oyster trawlers arriving at Lowe
stoft, Suffolk, were crowded with
refugees, many of them being old men
and women and children. They ex-
hibited evidences of fright and many
were suffering from exposure One
little girl died of exhaustion on the
voyage across the Channel. They re-

The Mayor and other officials Of
Lowestoft distributed food, found
shelter for the refugees and did all that
was possible to relieve their plight.
Apparently there IL great apprehen-

arrived at Folkestone brought word
that the citizens believe the Germans
