are Mrs. Kean, wife of William G. Kean,

"The situation in Antwerp grows worse.
This is the case all over Belgium. The
first installment of the war indemnity of
4So, 00o, 900 francs imposed by the Germans
on Belgium. amounting to So,0o0oOo francs,
was to be paid January Is, and 1t was
stipulated that after this date all requisi-

reduisitIon everything against their cou-
pons.
They grab horses, cattle and all sorts
of food spd metals, such as copper, lead,
zinc, etc. and send everything they want
into Germany.
The position of the working class in
Antwerp is pitiable. In that city alone
there are $500 people to be fed, also 5000
workers in the outskirts in the same dis
tress Besides, there are their families,
whose plight is deplorable.
Work is wholly lacking. At Ghent
5000 are unemployed. This state OF
things Is general
