SCENES IN BUSY
BELGIAN TOWN

Northern France, Dec. 26.-Furnes

full of the brave sons of Belgium and
France. Furnes is the advance SEN
tinel in whose ear the unceasing and
not far distant sound of cannon is
ever present. The eyes of suffering
Belgium are turned in hope toward
her.
Here, in the center of the town, are
many trophies of war drawn up upon
the "place," for here are some seven
or eight of the heavy German mortars
abandoned by the enemy in the flood
ed districts round Dixmude. These
engines, which did serious damage
the allies tranches, are cum
brous, unwieldy and thickset.
Suddenly ones attention is divert

gallant Seventh Of the Belgian line
This is the regiment that fought SO
well at Liege in the early days of
August, when, in a few hours, they
lost half their number, putting up a
stubborn and glorious resistance
against overwhelming odds between
the forts Of that town under the very
eye of its heroic defender, General
Leman. They have been in the field
ever since then, and only a few day
ago their colors were decorated by
King Albert in recognition of the
valor displayed by the regiment at
Pervyse, where they defiled under a
fire from the enemy be-
tween two hedges to the relief of
their comrades in the trenches.
The Seventh are followed by their
dog transport. Harnessed two by

mails draw their lightly built carts.

to them.
In one Of the teams the dog on the
right attracts much attention. He has
teen wounded. A big bandage en-
velops his head, and many are the
words of encouragement shouted to
him as he passes sedately by, strain
ing at his traces made of cord, his
stump of tail wagging furiously
the while. In no other way does he
seem in the slightest degree i'm
pressed. His attitude is energetic,
but grave. The regiment passes on.
the dogs follow, and again the gal
liant Seventh has gone forward to help
in the deliverance of its beloved coun-
try.
At one time their trenches were so
close to those of the enemy that dur
ing an occasional lull in the fighting
they threw beetroot into the German
lines, into which they stuck messages
announcing the name of their regi
ment and their intentions toward their
antagonists, which, | am told, were
anything but reassuring.
