MANY PERILS

when other poems ran up with drawn
knives,
Krause fed to his engine house, the
MeXicans in pursuit. When he bolted
the door they tried to break it down.
krause poked a revolver out of a win
dow and threatened to fire il they did
not "rausmit," which the poems did.
But San Luis Potosi is far from the
United States. and so Krause began to
work his way toward Juarez, a dan
gerous, difficult trip. Part of the way
Krause went on horseback, but a sol.
dier took the animal from him and he
travelled the rest of the distance on
foot.
The German youth was delighted
when he arrived at Juarez with 15O
pesos in Villa currency. This made
big, eyepleasing wad, and Krause
dreamed of the fortune he would start
with it. He crossed to Ell Paso and ex,
changed it for SO in American money,
which quite took his breath away.

BIG GAME is SLAUGHTERED
Wolves Are Causing Great Havoc
Among Deer In the North
ern Woods.

Duluth, MINI. - Trappers arriving
here with wolf hides for bounty report
that hundreds of northern Minnesota
deer are being slaughtered b. wolves
The exceptionally deep snow and the
alternate freezing and thawing have
made a crust that will sustain the
weight of the wolves, but the sharp
hoofs of deer break through. and they
fall an easy prey.
The scarcity of rabbits, which have
been wiped out, has made the deer the
only food available for wolves and
even the small brush wolves have as,
sembled in packs and become brave
enough through hunger to attack
young deer.

German Youth, Fleeing War, Has
Exciting Time.
Adalbert Krause Reaches Texas After
Escaping Death at Sea and In
Mexieo-Gets So for Bale of
Villa Money.

Fort Worth, Tex.-When Adalbert
Krause, eighteen years old, a Ger.
man youth, left Berlin just before the
stsft of the war, hoping to reach the
United States and thus escape mill
tary service, he little dreamed of the
exciting events he would experience
before he attained his goal.
Krause is industrially, not militarily,
inclined, but before reaching this coun.
try he faced starvation, was pursued
by German officers, was beaten by
sailors, nearly shipwrecked, escaped
from a ship at Tampico and was at.
tackled and robbed by MeXiCans. But
Krause never lost hope and finally
reached El Paso, a town he never
had heard of in Germany. and only
a few days ago arrived in Fort Worth,
where he wants to become a captain
of industry and a natuTalized Ameri-
can citizen.
When Krause left his home in Ber-
lin he first went to Hamburg, where
he played hide and seek with the po
lice and other officers and between
times tried TO get work. Despite rigid
economy Krause soon was reduced to
eight cents, and he was getting des-
perate when he obtained a position
as mess boy on board a Hamburg
American line vessel. This ship first
took him to Spanish ports and later
to Tampico, Mex. On the way the
vessel encountered severe storms and
the crew prepared to abandon the
ship. Krause thought his end had
come, but the ship weathered the
gale. Then the seamen began to treat
Krause roughly, sometimes beating
him.
One night, when the vessel was at
TampicO, Krause bade farewell to the
ship. He could speak no Spanish, and
having little funds he met difficulties
wherever he turned. Finally he got
work at San Luis Potosi in an oil
plant, where he could not understand
the Indifferent and lazy customs of the
Mexican laborers.

Paris. - From Brussels the news

The bolduess and wonderful tena-
city OF the mysterious Belgian patriots
who continue, in spite Of everything,
to publish their daring paper, form an
amusing and amazing side to the war.
The Germans as soon as they had
entered Brussels took possession of
all the newspapers. The so-called Bel

mandantur were in reality merely
German sheets printed in French
Very soon after the Libre BelgiQue
appeared Who was the editor? Where
was it printed? No one has ever been
able to find out, but it has had and
still has the courage to print all the
things which the Germans want to
remain unknown.
Until now it has appeared in about
sixty issues, that is to say almost
weekly, and it has published docu-
mentary proofs of the German mis-
deeds, has criticized German bulletins
of victories, and has prophesied from
the start the inevitable downfall of
Germany.
In most merciless manner it leases
the conquerors, it stimulates the Bel
gians, gives publicity to the thousands
of little tricks which the irrepressible
street urchins of Brussels play on
the Germans, and fiays the kaiser, the
military governor and German gen
