 MT. Kennedy said this morning he has quite a stock of new shoes on hand that he is willing to put into the box Of goods for the war victims, and this amount with shoes that Dortero & Son will add make quite an assortment already.
 Many people in town are inquir- ing about the movement and a will ingness is found in the people to respond in any measure that will help to relieve the suffering in Europe.
 If you have not already sent your old shoes to these merchants do so immediately, so they may have them for the first. shipment.

Life UJnbcarabic in Belgium
 Says Workman Who Escaped

ly exposed to shell fire and to gas attacks. Having no masks we were obliged to take shelter when bell rang to warn us. When l left, there had not yet been any casualties among the men of my village but l know for certain that at least five farm laboTers from a neighboring village, who had been taken to work behind the lines with their horses, were killed or died from their wounds. We slept in badly built wooden huts. Many of us had to be sent back with rheu- matism; others developed bronchit- is and pneumonia.
 We were paid mark per day, but as the food was very scarce we had practically to spend our wages to appease our hunger, so that, when we came back home for one day every three weeks, We had prac' tically nothing left to bring back with us. Those who worked clos CT to their homes were paid 2S pfennig per hour but received no food. They were allowed to go hack every night.
 Tt was no use trying to protest. It only meant more trouble and misery, prison and blows. One of my friends who struggled to escape was nearly killed by a bayonet thrust.
 Besides, the Germans are only too glad if you resist. They have made a rule to send to Germany an man or woman who gets more than three months imprisonment Anc none of those who have been depor' ed have come pack after their time Six months ago one of my ne1gh' bors, a widow, who had to protect her daughter against a German Of ficer, received four months fol having said, on this occasion, th@ all Germans were pigs. She wal sent to Germany and we have heart since that she Is obliged to wort in A kommando and has no hope O. returning before the end of thu war. This is ouly a case among hundreds. The German tribunal lhaye provided many Belgian work CTS for the Fatherland.

In order to avoid people escaping to another part of the country, they obliged us all to go to the Kommandantur, where our identity cards and pass ports were confiscated. As you can not walk 8 mile ia the army zone without showing your papers we were practically prisoners.
 Every week an officer with tw' soldiers went from house to house reQuisitioning more laborers. They had taken 300 already when left; I have no doubt that tht whole village is forced to work by now.

This was by far tn worst place since we were frequent
