Dutch FARMERS
CHEER WOUNDED

FLUSHING, The Netherland, Sept.
24.-Although Dutch farmers in the
fertile province of iceland have wiz
messed the sight regularly twice &
month for the past year, the movement
of the long Red Cross trains that pass
through the province from the fighting
area is always an event which calls
throngs of country people in their pic
turesque costumes to all the small sta
lions and crossways to see the trains
pass.
1t is no longer mere curiosity which!
brings them there. They have learned
that there presence serves to cheer the
wounded soldiers and they have come
to consider it their duty to turn out to
greet the sufferers. Men on whom the
science of surgery or medicine have
little effect find that the crude but
genuine sympathy extended them By
the Dutch farmers has remarkable
healing properties. Every farmer at
his plough stops his horses and waves
his hand, and every woman in the
fields seizes her colored apron for
hasty salute.
From the church towers ia the vii
lagos flags fly. Even the soldiers who
guard the railroad track forget dis
cipline and neutrality and set up
cheer Suddenly it comes over the sol
diers in their bedraggled khaki "all
this is meant for u.s." Handkerchiefs
are rare after a year in hostile land.
but bandages are all the more plenti-
fpl. And with a sudden recognition OF
what it is all about an old rag is
waved to the wind and smile of hap
piness drives away the gloom of Ions
days of physical horror.
The soldier who is paralyzed is prop
ped up with cushions until he too can
see what happens. Soon some almost
forgotten song starts somewhere and
is taken up by the entire manned COM
pany. A virtuoso on a mouth organ
blows the melody and blind man
keeps time. When Flushinfi is at last
reached each man ought to have a
violent fever AS matter of fact they
say they are better than ever. Right
ahead of them they see the lights OF
the steamer and a little beyond those
piers is their own land.

COUNT Won HAEsELER.

When the war against Austria began
In 1866 he was with the army Of the
crown prince.
In the war Of 1901 he distinguish
ed himself upon many battlefelds and
was decorated with the iron cross OF
the second ana then of the first class
in 1873. Later he was given the order
Pour lie Merite.
He continued to take an active part
in German military affairs until 1903,
when he was raised to the rank of
field marshal general, and having com
pleted fifty years of distinguished serv-
Ice asked to be retired. AS Kaiser
Wilhelm did not wish TO relinquish all
claim on his services he appointed him
lifelong member OF the Prussian up
per house OF parliament, where he
took an active part in all debates on
military questions.
When the present war broke out he
was one of the first volunteers TO offer
his services to the fatherland and, al
though seventy-eight years old, is now
doing active duty at the front, sharing
the responsibilities and devising strate-
gic movements for the army of the
crown prince operating against the al
lies forces.
The following story tells of an inter
esting incident i'm connection with the
army to which Count Won Haeseler is
attached.
Since the German occupation of Maui
beuge the Inhabitants have been much
interested in a nameless young officer
whom the Germans treat with the
greatest Difference. He Is generally
believed TO be the kaiser's fourth Sol
Prince August William.
A complaint was raised by a towns
van that the Germans had seized his
wagon without payment, w~hereupon
the young officer, who until then had
been unnoticed, came forward and
proffered a bond for the value, which
the paymaster honored without demur.
Later another citizen expressed a
wish to change 10000 francs in five
franc pieces for paper. Suddenly the
same officer appeared, produced French
notes to that amount and ordered a
passing soldier to take the money to
headquarters. The soldier obeyed al
most reverently.
Finally, a German general visited
the youth, who was quartered at the
house Of a local councillor, and the
latter heard his guest say, General
remember that ! give orders, not re
ceive them"
The visitor then departed.
