 The German military authorities had decided to have certain trees cut down because they interfered with the view of the sentries placed .long the barbed wire fencing and the cable which, charged with a strong electric current, prevent per sons from escaping from Belgium. One hundred and fifty inhabitants of Selzaete were requisitioned and ordered to work cutting down the trees.
 The improvised treecutters sue ceeded in doing their work in such I way that several trees fell across he barbed wire and the electrified cable, and made a wide, safe open ing. Then they proceeded to trans fer themselves to Dutch territory, accompanied by their five German guardians, who had long grown tired of their duty and were only too pleased to desert. bag and bag. gage.
