now has complete garrison. Several
guns of long range have been added
to the batteries on the sea dyke and
in the dunes. The lighthouse at
Knocke is constantly occupied by Ger
man lookout men, and the coast is
guarded by marines.
At Zeebrugge the Germans are still
busy with their mysterious work and
civilians are not allowed to approach.
At Antwerp the Germans seized the
whole stock of India rubber in the
two largest warehouses. The owners
received note promising to pay.
From Haelteri, near Alost, and from
Knocke come further accounts of how

pain of death, they are forbidden to
approach at night. 1t is believed bod
les are tipped into the trenches in
