PEOPLE OF MARBEuGE
IN DESTITUTE PLIGHT

Paris, Ian ..l4.--Ancording - to- a
prominent, manufacturer at Maui
beuge who escaped before the Ger
mans occupied the town, but says lie
has received news through under
ground channels, the population is in
sore straits. those of limited means
being unable to pay the prices the
Germans demand for provisions,
some even being reduced to taking
remains of the soldiers repasis.
The curfew rings at o'clock:
sidered spying.
Six hostages are required to insure
n special police service and serve rs
Intermediates These hostages are
changed each week and are warned
if they do not render exact Justice to
the Germans they will be shot.
There is neither salt nor burning
oil in the town and coal is becoming
scarce. Beans cost the equivalent
of 20 cents a pint. Half pound Of
bread is served to each of the inlinh-
itants each day; other provisions be-
ing reserved to the Germans except
ing certain things the army sells 10
the population AT extraordinary
prices.
The cafes and tobacconist shops
have been taken over by the mill
iary authorities and clerks brought
from Germany to run them.
Taxes are regularly collected by
German fiscal asents. part Of the
proceeds being considered govern
ment revenue ana part being attrib-
uted to relief of the population.
The street railroads are in opera
tion for the benefit of the general
public but the railroads are reserved
to the German troops and II is as
serted that the inhabitants. on pain
of death, are forbidden to watch the
passage OF trains. The reason for
this is said TO be the use of the Mau-
neuGe line for the removal of the
dead from the battle lines along the
canals of Belgium and France. The
informant said IL trains with such
loads passed Mauheuge in one day.
All the forts of the camp of Mcu-
beuse, he says. have been blown up
and all the roads that might serve
an army advancing from the south
have been blocked.
Most of the important factories OF
Maubeuge. excepting those where
soldiers are Quartered have been dis
mantled and the installations ship
ped away.

George is a fair-sized youngster with
perpetual happy grin, with the pOise
OF boy several years his senior.
The police of Manassas and Washing
ton and a number of small towns lying
in between were asked to look out for
him. but he evaded them all.
Several weeks ago Miss Frances C.
Davenport, superintendent of the or
phan asylum, after communicating with
James Charlton, a wealthy farmer living
near Manassas, decided to send the
youngster there. Charlton, who wanted
to adopt a boy. had seen George in WASH
ington and liked him.
Accordingly, George babe a fearful
farewell to his playmates, and in COM
pany with one of the employees OF the
home began his journey to Manassas. II
was the first time he had ever been
away from the asylum. He carried
little cake that Miss Davenport had
given him-a cake destined to play
part in his later adventures.
Arriving at the Charlton place, the
boy was shown his room. There he
carefully tucked the cake In a little
bureau drawer.
