SOLDIERS DRINK BEER
 IN HOTEL DE VILE.
lRv Inc Associated Press.l

BRUSSELS.-About the only modern suggestion at the beautiful Hotel de Vile, where helmeted, breast-plated German officers, some with fur dolmans and fur busbys, are reminders of pictures of medieval times, is the line of civilians who want permits to leave. The line is usually three abreast and stretches hundred yards or more into the street. Per mits are issued freely at fees of from .hree to fifteen francs each.
 In one of the great hotels of the magnificent building is large table, around which soldiers may usually be seen, drinking beer from steins. On the walls are hung the side arms and accountrements which have been laid aside by the guard for greater com fort while awaiting orders. From time to time an officer comes in and orders four men to go here, or six there, and there is buckling on of arms and the detachment leaves with considerable hustle and clanking.

DOCTORS OVER WORKED
 ATTENDING WOUNDED. Fall Asleep Even During lm-
 pOrtant Operations.
tBy The Associated Press.)

GENEVA, Dec. 29.-The cargo boats that formerly carried coal and cereals on the Rhine have been trans formed into ambulances and are con veying wounded soldiers from Colmar to Cologne.
 The German wounded generally are well cared for in the hospitals along the Rhine, but their numbers have in- creased to such an extent since the middle of October, that there have not been enough doctors to give them prompt attention, and many slightly wounded have died on this account. So over-worked are the surgeons that they often fall asleep while on duty. A story comes from Colmar to the eff feet that a we'll known surgeon, after having worked for fortnight with very little rest, fell asleep over an inn portant operation. Pressing calls have been made upon the doctors in Ger many. including the most aged, to remedy the difficulty.

shells and shrapnel caused enormous damage among our troops.
 As the surrounding of the English forces by our troops made itself moro and more felt, the English infantry tried again and again to break through our lines, particularly in the vicinity of Becelaere, though without success. In one of these attacks five hundred English soldiers and twenty officers fell into our hands.
 "The English trenches were mostly so arranged as to be quite invisible to the naked eye. When we had got into the first trenches we were aston ished at their systematic construction as regards to depth, side protection against splintering of shells, breast work and flooring. The trenches were nearly all excellently arranged for a long stand. We were particularly as- tonished at the iron and steel work built into the breastworks. The floors were designed with an eye to maxi mum comfort. Our men captured there a great store of excellent pre- serves, corn beef and ham, and many also secured one of the shaving out fits which every English soldier car ries.
 "When we had taken a position it frequently occurred that we found a disproportionate number of dead to the very few living defenders. We soon discovered that large number of the dead were shamming and these were easily tickled into life with a bayonet.
 "In some cases the English had dug trenches but had not occupied them, and to deceive us had put large round turnips and similar objects along the  breastworks."
