People Flock Back to Freedom.

The roads everywhere for two days
have been swarming with advancing
troops and with prisons and civilians
coming back from the front. Many
rejoicink noncombatants, men. women,
and children, have been pouring out Of
the captured towns under the guidance
Of their deliverers from German bond
age ..
This has been a battle OF strange
sights, but no more striking spectacle
has been witnessed than that OF these
people marching toward homes and
comfort back to the British front.
Thru the gaps which the tanks had
torn in the famous Hindenburg line,
mothers were pushing baby carriages
containing infants or tramping happily
along with their babies clutched to
their breasts.
Beside them toddled other young
sters many Of them carrying their
treasured dolls, and not few clinging
determinedly to squirming puppies
which they dared not trust to run on
the ground. Old men and women were
bringing away all the household effects
they could pack on push carts or carry
had been in captivity and some OF them
in slavery.
During the three years of their cap
tivity the civilians were fed by the
American relief committee All other
food was requisitioned by the Germans
who placed heavy penalties on those
who concealed any. For instance, this
secreting of bottle Of ordinary wine
called for a fine OF 10 francs or lone
term in prison, and there was twice as
severe penalty for hiding a bottle
Of champagne.
