1t follows:

Nollanders that moment has arrived.
Cruelty Grows More Vivid.

facts. One must turn to the history
Of the early ages Of long past cen

lions stipulate that the honor and
rights of the family be respected But
the German government deliberately
hrags the Belgian families apart. TO
us this cruelty is more vivid every
Hay.
Many Escape to Netherlands.
Every day numbers of fugitives, in
spite of the deadly electric wire which
the Germans have erected along the
frontier, succeed In escaping to the
Netherlands. From them we learn the
painful details Of the unutterable de-
Ipair of the women and children who
ire left behind and Of the agonizing
scenes which take place when hus-
bands, brothers and sons, dragged
from their homes and women folks,
ire packed into cattle and freight cars
md thus transported slaves to an I'M

Army officers who studied events Of
the European war, state that the fun

for the establishment of universal
