Two Streams Of Refugees

Amsterdam. Oct. 30.-When the
German retirement in Belgian Elan
ders began. 1t was expected that $780,
900 refugees would seek safety in
Holland. Up to Saturday night only
about 1000 had passed across the
frontier. All but thirteen were
French people from the districts Of
Valenciennes. Douai, Cambria and
Quesnoy.

arrived each day but the number
now has gradually increased. How.

the American troops smashed
through the st. Mihiel salient, and
took the territory which the German

Plains, Mont, Oct. S0.-The ef-
forts of Wade Parks, county attor-
ney, who has long been referred to
,as a member of the l. w. W., to
control the political affairs Of San
ders county by combining the In
dustrial Workers organization with
the Nonpartisan league forces, is at
tracing widespread attention
throughout Montana.
That Parks compelled Townley to
indorse John F. Mckay, present
county clerk. for the state senate, is
now believed. The farmers, it is
his known I. w. w. Affiliations and
served notice on Nonpartisan league
leaders that they would not indorse
Mckay because of his close friend
ship for Parks. Townley, therefore,
had to choose between Parks and his
crowd and the possibility of suffer-
ing setback in Montana because
of hostility from farmer members
of the league who opposed Parks.
Convention Nominee Thrown Over
On July 10 the Nonpartisan league
county convention ignored Mckay
and Endorsed A. N. Brooks as it's
conferences followed and the result
is that the league now is accepting
McKay's nomination"
The action Of Townley and Parks
has caused a sensation in Sanders
county and farmers have commented
upon the fact that. the final in
dorsement of Parks candidate after
Townley had conferred with Parks
in this county. II is asserted that
several farmers became so disgust

that they ordered their banks to
stop payment on checks which they

fatiguesof the journey were too
much for some of the travellers. The
weaker ones died on the way and a
few others succumbed soon after
reaching Holland. Many of the ref
ugees are suffering from grippe, and
bronchial affections. The worst cas-
es had been given Immediate assist
ance at the nearest hospitals and
converts. '~.a
Many pathetic incidents occurred
during the march. Among the refu-
gees was a young mother with the
body Of her six months old babe
clasped to her breast. The babe had
died four days previously but the
mother had refused to bury the
body in soil held by the enemy. An
old woman Of Cambria travelled for
three weeks in a chair tied on a
cart. Scarcely had she reached neu-
trail soil when the cart overturned
and the woman was killed.
To distribute the fugitives in Hol-
land the government last week or
dered the burgomasters Of Deventer,
Assem-, Zutphen and Anthem and
other towns to arrange to accommo-
date refugees to the extent of two

towns. .~"
The Dutch villagers on the from
tier have rendered efficient assist
ance to the refugees although food
is not plentiful.

has been Investigating the possibil-
ity of repatriating the refugees to

OF Belgium but the plan is not yet
feasible as bridges have been blown
