BACK FROM BELGIUM
/ HALF OF HORRORS NOT TOLD

St. Augustine, Fla, Nov. s.
Rev. Father Wilde arrived here
yesterday morning from the North.
He has just returned from Belgium,
his native country, having spent the
past several months there with his
sisters. He was there when the Eu-
ropean war broke out and witnessed
the overthrow of his country. He
says that the conditions in Belgium
are beyond description, and that not
one-half of the awful atrocities at
tributed to the German soldiers has
been told in newspaper reports.
Father Wilde shows signs of the
terrific strain under which he has
labored in his stricken country. His
advanced age, and the hardships en-
tailed by the war have injured his
health and he is very feeble and
weak. 1t Is hoped that rest and
quiet will rapidly restore mis- health,
For several years Father Wilde has
made st. Augustine his home and
he has hundreds of friends and ac-
quaintances here who will welcome
his return.
