BELCIANS ESCAPED INTO
HOLLAND BY CLEVER RUSE

PARIS, September 10-According to
telegram from Hayre, where the Bel
gian government is temporarily locat-
Ell, about $50 Belgians have succeeded
in crossing the frontier into Holland
and freedom in a curious manner.
The German military authorities had
decided to have certain trees cut down
because they interfered with the view
of sentries placed along the barbed
wire fencing and the cable which,
charged with strong electric current,
prevent persons from escaping from
Belgian territory. One hundred and
fifty inhabitants of Selzaete were re-
Questioned and put to work cutting
down the trees.
The improvised tree-cutters sue
ceeded in doing their work in such
way that several trees fell across
the barbed wire and the electrically
charged cable, and made wide, safe
opening. Then they proceeded to
transfer themselves to Dutch terri
tory, who had long grown tired OF
their duty and were only too pleased
to desert, bag and baggage.

Don't Forget Thanksgiving
Day.

In spite of the fact that our
country is engaged in the most
terrible conflict history has ever
recorded and without losing sight
of the fact that the cost of living
shows no inclination to come down,
we all have many things to be
thankful for if we but take an
optimistic view of them. 1t is
only necessary to thinks of condi-
tons as they exist in almost every
European country to realize how
much better situated We are and
how much happier and contented
we should be.
Thanksgiving day is the day set
aside each year to give thanks for
the blessings we enjoy and you
will want to. as in the past, re.
member the occasion in an appro-
pirate way.
