bergen Op LOom' Holland (Bl
Mail )-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 9th
er public buildings have been turned
into dormitories and eating houses.
During the siege Of Antwerp ref
ugees were sent here by the train
load Most of them were penniless
for the Belgians who had money went
to London or some of the large Dutch
cities.
The burden of feeding the refugees
has fallen heavily upon the Dutch
government and the various municip-
alities which are doing their best to
make the homeless Belgians comfort
able Most of them have only the
clothes they are wearing and philan
thropic committees are providing un
derwear and endeavoring to supply
warmer garments for the peasants,
many Of whom are lightly clad.
Thousands of Belgians who were
unable to get into crowded trains
walked to Bergen op zoom. Inyalids |
were brought on pushcarts. Some OF
the refugees carried enlarged port
rats OF relatives Others carried
chairs Frequently the women had
sewing machines on dogcarts togeth-
,r with bundles of clothing tied in
sheets.
The Belgians and Hollanders living
Iear the border have a common Ian
uage and are similar in appearance.
lany wear the wooden shoes seen
o generally in Holland and the lit Z
e girls have quaint white caps worn 2
