Amsterdam, Feb l6 The great
success of LIBRE BELGIQUE, the
secretly circulated newspaper which
has deiied all attempts of the Ger
man authorities at suppression, has
led to the starting of numerous sim
liar enterprises all through the oc-
cupied regions of Belgium and OF
France. Nobody pretends to know
they are printed or how they man
age to get into the hands of their
readers Yot several of them ap-
pear with fair regularity, and at
tain an amazingly wide circulation
In spite OF all the efforts Of the Ger
man intelligence service.
Most OF these papers contain main
ly news of local interest, combined
with patriotic Belgian editorials and
brief digests of outside news OBJ
talned secretly from French. Eng
lish and Dutch newspapers. The
Iibre Beligique is still the best
known of these secret newspapers,
mainly because its publishers always
make a point of having a copy put
on the governors desk. although how
this is managed nobody seems to
know.
Then there is a Weekly Review,
which has NV reached its fifty sew
enth number. and which devotes it.
self mainly to summarizing the con-
ltents of the leading French journals.
The Motus is the Belgian Punch,
humorous and satirical publication.
whose jokes are aimed largely at
German officials in occupied Bel
gium. The Patrie publishes news
mainly from Dutch sources, and re-
produces many cartoons from the an
iti-German Dutch papers.

news agencies which distribute

There were two difficulties in the
situation. the scantiness of the sup

years and distinguished air, wearing
the red ribbon of the Legion of Hon.

washerwomen, servants. and improvi-

retail dealers yards. The lady OF
the house was also often seen, with
her bejeweled hands clasped around
an armful of fire wood trudging
alongside her servant with twenty
five pound sack of coal on her shoul.

Every one of the vast number OF
hand.carts in Paris was pressed into
service; this was the only means ac-
cessible to the artists of the Latin
Quarter who organized many clubs
to raise the price of few sacks of
coal and furnish the motive power in
common.
Paris took it all good naturedly,
excepting in very rare cases.
