BELCIANS ESCAPE
DEPORTATION BY
KILLING GERMANS
sentries Slaughtered Dutch
snugglers Reap Fortune
From Fleeing Men.

London, Jan. 1.-THE Belgian "un-
foreground railway" is working so well
Ind the deportations from Belgium
nave caused so much alarm that eff
forts.to cross the border into Holland
are now more numerous than at any
previous time since the Germans oc-
cupied the country.
Belgians, who recently escaped on
canal tugs and made their way to Lon
don, where they enrolled in the Bel
gian Army, report that there is little
dificulty. in reaching the Dutch Dor
der. even from points as far distant
as the French frontier. Once on the
Dutch border. their real troubles be-
gin. and to GROSS the frontier into Hol-
land it is necessary to use any means
at hand, even to the killing of sentries.
According to information received
here, ninety men of military age, on
two canal tugs, succeeded in making
their way down the Meuse and across
the border. In one case, the men who
reached London report. they bribed
the German guard, while the men on
the other tug fought their way through
patrols rammed and broke the last
lock and floated across the barbed wire
fence on the mood waters, grounding
on a shoal within Dutch territory.
Dutch smugglers, on both sides of
the line, are reaping a rich harvest
They have the assistance Of Belgian
poachers, who are a terror in peace
times to the local authorities. but now
daily risk their lives, without pay, in
their efforts 10 assist their countrymen
across the border. .f
The deadly charged barbed wire at
the frontier accounts for many victims,
bht SO many succeed In getting
through that their number forms a
useful addition to the Belgian Army
Among those who have escaped are
several men with families, who had
no intention OF attempting to leave the
country until they were threatened
with deportation.

RICH MEN AND THE LAW.

q
The re-appeance of Harry Thaw
among the newspaper headliners
again suggests the idea to many peo-
pie that had it not been for his money
he would not now be at liberty. His
is only one one of many cases of
wealthy men who avert penalties that
poor man must pay.
The man who can pay we'll for the
best legal talent has great advan-
tage. A skillful lawyer can make a
better showing with weak case than
an ordinary lawyer with a good one.
+ In free country YOU can hardly
prevent anyone from hiring as many
lawyers and as good lawyers as he
can pay for But judges and juries
may we'll look askance at the man
who finds it necessary to pay out 4
small fortune for legal assistance. 1T
looks on the face Of it as if he had a
case that would not stand on it's own
merits.

night Of September 5, and a lot OF
cigars and tobacco were stolen. A
ladder was used for reaching the
tlansom, the screen Of which was
cut open and ladder ia the interior
of the store was used for effecting
an exit.

secured from Dyersburg and placed on
the trail Thursday morning at IL
o'clock. A trail was struck and
