Bergen op Zoom, Holland, Nov. H.
Conditions among the Belgian refugees
crowded into this little city are typical
of the situation in all Dutch towns near
the Belgian border. With a population
of 10000 ordinarily, Bergen op Zoom
now shelters about 10000 persons Most
of the homes have given over rooms to
refugees Barns. warehouses. churches
and other public buildings have been
turned into dormitories and eating

were sent here by the train load. Most

GOVERNORS APPEAL.


From Governor Hodges two ap-
peals for Belgium aid:
The fortunes of war have brought
great distress to the people of Bel
GUM. This brave little nation has
been forced to take part in a de-
structive and devastating war which
it neither sought nor wanted It's
soil has been drenched with blood,
its homes destroyed. and its people
visited with all the sufferings that
follow in the wake of war.
Starvation threatens the
patriotic people of Belgium. Their
country has been invaded and raw
aged and non-combatants made des-
titute.
1.-THE farmers Of Kansas have been
blessed with abundant crops.
THE same war which brought
destitution and starvation to the
Belgians has brought the farmers
of Kansas increased prices for their
grains.
Il believe the farmers OF Kansas
are the most generous people on
earth and that they only await the
call to respond literally for the re-
lief OF their unfortunate fellows
across the sea.

to and from the trains.
Refugees who have lost members Of
their families have chalked notices on the
walls of stations in many Of the Dutch
towns. Such signs as Jean Marie de
Mariee of Aantwerp went to Amsterdam
on october 49," or ''Wfn Marie de Maries
of Antwerp please write to her mother in
care of Roosendaal Relief committee
where she is?' may be seen written on
the brick walls of railway buildings or
posted in station windows Relief com
fnittees in all the towns are flooded with
letters from persons seeking lost rela-
fiyes.
The same refugees may be seen in six
different Belgian and Dutch towns with
in a week. They walk or ride as they
may, constantly searching for lost mem
bers of their families. eagerly seeking the
lists of various relief committees Tor
traces of missing relatives or friends.
There are many blind persons in the
thronxs. Some are without friends or
| relatives to lead them. but good Samari-
tahs always seem to lend hand The
kindly natures of the people are plainly
| shown in the present crisis Heavy as the
burden is upon Holland there is little dis
position on the part of the Dutch to urge
| the Belgians unduly to return TO tneif
