Belgian Spirit Unbroken.

My father owns about 100 houses
in Brussels. The tenants found it i'm
possible to pay rent. The houses be-
came a dead loss. Though occupied,
they produced no revenue.
yet, despite their losses, the Bel
sians have shown a most courageous
spirit. l have known society women
and society girls to do the most mental
tasks in the knowledge they were help
ing Belgium. l have known of society
girls who were imprisoned by the Ger
mans because of some of the things
they accomplished in behalf of Bel
GUM. But in many instances the girls
escaped. How? Well. that's a secret.
/ believe women are very often more
clever than men, anyway.
Some of these society girls acted as
distributors of the secretly printed lie
Belgian spirit. Nobody will tell where
it is printed. Many hundreds and thou
sands of dollars in rewards have been
offered by the Germans for the capture
of its editors. Hundreds have been inn
prisoned, many have been shot, scores
have been under surveillance because of
this proud and defiant publication. Yet

that the atrocities did occur. I have

Germans Still Savage.

DO not delude yourself into thinking
that the Germans have become less
savage. Deportations continue For a
time there was a reduction due to the
Pope's protests and the outcries OF
other sources OF influence. But the
kaiser has scoffed again at the Pope's
objections. Military necessity is the
excuse given for the enslavement of
the thousands Of Belgian men and
women who know are being deported
to Germany every week. The men are
being sent into actual slavery. And
the women into worse than slavery.
