PRICE ON HEAD OF
EDITOR OF PAPER
Belgian Newspapers Published

OF the German military police. 1t is
one OF the mysteries of the German
occupation OF Belgium how these sec.
ret papers can be published, where
they engrave their cartoons ridicul-
ing the Germans, and how they set
the type and circulate the papers.
There is price of $4,000 marks on
the head OF the editor of the Free
Belgium, but it keeps on appearing
just the same. Several OF the sup
posed editors are said to have been
shot. One man was sentenced to
. twelve years hard labor, others to
three and even years, and woman,
Madame Scheupens, to five years.
But each time that supposed editor
Is imprisoned and the German au-
thorities feel the trouble is ended, the
paper appears the following day more
lusty than ever with a cartoon max
ing fun of the prosecution.
File of Secret Papers.
A file is kept here of these secret
papers, as matter of curiosity. Free

trouble, prints the following notices
under its title.
