during the bitter winter already begun
probably will exceed all the suiferings
endured by the Belgians, because the
the Serbs are so inaccessible TO relief.
Americans are most willing to help,

Some of the Belgian troops who are
now interned here came through error:

There is one British soldier whom
the Dutch are not entertaining, now
ever, according TO the authorities ana
accounts printed in the newspapers OF
Holland. He is an aviator, who made a
forced landing on the wrong side OF
the international fence. For many
months he partook Of Dutch bounty
under guard most Of the time, for ne
refused TO give an unlimited parole:
When he desired to 90 to Amsterdam
or other neighboring cities he wouia
sign q parole agreeing not TO attempt
to escape for a certain number OF
hours. A few days ago he scrubbed OUT

peared. lie did not return.
Instead, from the British coast came
a message to the government OF The
Netherlands thanking the officials for
their kind treatment and for safe
Journey home. Then II was discovered
that his parole slip read: ~ will not
promise not to try to escape" etc.
Dutch Tricked by Aviator.
The telegram was printed, with an
account Of the escape. in the leading
rapers, but no word OF the incident APP
peared in the English prints. The
Dutch do not consider that the inser-
ton Of the word mot" voided the
parole. They look upon the affair as a
trick unworthy OF an honorable SOL
der. and feel that the young man
should be sent back TO his internment,
as was the French aviator, Gilbert,
when he escaped from Switzerland
few months ago.
The Datch have absorbed the lessons
of the war In many vital respects. For
example, they realize the futility Of
fortresses, and it is said that most OF
these have been dismantled. Adopts at
ditch digging, they have furrOwed the
country with criss-cross lines OF
trenches, artfully disguised.

Such man is Whey. He is just six
feet tall, and weighs slightly over $50
pounds. He is long of limb, broad
shouldered and as quick as lightning in
every action. In civil life he is the sort
that sails over hurdles and leaps the
bar in the high jump. He has been in
the air service since last May, when
he returned from South Africa, where
he had spent six months in Prince AL
fred's Guards.
For one month he was in the armored
motor car service. and then was trans
ferred to the Royal Navy Air Service
For the last three months he has been
stationed at the present base, close
enough TO the front to make life inter-
esting for even the most blase.
Though a youngster in years and SER
vice, he has the confidence of a veteran,
and talks and acts as if he were capable
of handling himself well under any cir

fearless, he is a fine representative OF

1t probably is no news to the Ger

the public, that men like Whey have
helped materially in lessening the ac-
tivities of the U-boats by vigilant pa
troll of waters. Constant work has made
them eagle-eyed and quick as hawks.

Service includes Lieutenant Warne-

HATRED OF GERMANS
SWAPS SOLDIERS
Regiments Hail Approach of
Zeppelins, Which Are Shelled
Before They Get in Range.
BY GORDON BRUCE.

The Hague, Nov. 29.-Holland has
been transformed. Out Of the quaint
land Of eighteen months ago-its very
name a synonyme for peace-has been
evolved an alert nation. fairly bristling
with military preparedness and eff
cheney.
Indications of the great change are
everywhere. From the Belgian from
tier to the Hook of Holland are SOL
diers and more soldiers. Barracks have
sprung up in all towns Of Importance.
Aviation bases have been established
and munitions making is proceeding at
top speed.
The men who make up the army of
100000 men present splendid appear
ance. Their slate-colored uniforms are
neat and attractive. They appear TO
fine advantage on parade, and there is
snap and go about every movement.
1.-THE Dutch army" which in the past
has carried little inspiration. is now

1--WE have been amazed at the prog
ress our men have made in their year

me. We were standing at little sta
ton on the Belgian border at the time.
"You should have seen these men when
we modified Sloppy would be your
word for it. They slouched about and
had no soldierly instincts.
But now-well. we have to watch
them closely in order TO preserve our
neutrality. A certain amount of mill
tary spirit seems to have come TO them
with the hard training we have given
them. We have TO change these from

with those fellows over there and he

90 OUT OF EVERY 100
GERMANS RECOVER
Berlin Claims SO Per Cent OF
Wounded Return to Service.

London, Dec. 20.-According TO The
Times" the German newspapers have
been supplied with extraordinary hg-
Tres concerning the low rate of NOR
tality and the high rate of recoveries
among the German wounded, which,
even if approximately correct, would
greatly impair the value of most OF the
rough calculations of German casual
ties made In England.
II is stated, for example, that in the
first month OF the war nearly 80 per
cent OF the wounded were able TO re-
turn to military service, while 3 per
cent died and the remaining IL per
cent were discharged.
1t is further claimed that month by
month there has been a steady improve
ment on these figures, and that the
monthly average shows that for every
ice wounded S9.5 were At for service,
SO were discharged or sent on leave
and only IT died.
The report says: mo army in the
world can show such favorable re-
turns"
1t Is disconcerting to the British
that Just at this time French official
medical reports should show practically
the same percentage Of recoveries as
the German.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-12-20

Paris, Dec. 19.-Dr. Jacques Bertil-
lon, director of medical statistics of
the French army, in a special report
states that the mortality among the
sick and wounded in hospitals is only
is in 1000. Last year the mortality
rate was 90 in 1000. In peace times
the Paris hospitals show a mortality of
LOG in 1000.
The cause of the decrease is sttrib-
uted to better hospital conditions.
