windows, and it was quite a treat to
see people whom we knew to be our
friends. But of course it was impos-
sible for any of these Belgian women
to show any outward feeling of friend
ship, and it meant endangering their
lives for any of them to come near
US.
Even Nurses Hated Us
We were never allowed out of our
gloomy prison until we had been there
three days. We were then marched
through the town to the railway sta
ton, and the whole population came
out to see US. They, however, dare
not come near us. A number of Bel
gian women who were carried away
by their feelings attempted to shake
hands with us, but whenever they
tried to do so they were ruth1essly
thrust to one side.
On arriving at the railway station
we spotted a Red Cross train just
ready for departure. Needless to say
the occupants gave us a typical Ger
man welcome-curses, threats and
jeers. Those who did not yell at us
spat upon us, even the nurses shook
their fists in oAr faces.
Ones German officer, for some
slight offence, treated the "pious''
Hun wounded to an entertainment by
slashing at French soldier with his
cane, an incident which met with
great approval from the Huns.
There was no sympathy for any OF
US. Even the Canadian with his bare
bleeding feet was scoffed at.
kT1& n
Cross train was not for Britishers. Our
train, composed of filthy cattle-trucks
was awaiting US at another siding
Forty, men were crowded into the
truck I was in, and there was in con-
sequence no room in which to move
let alone sit down. However, we die
our best to make ourselves comfort
able.
We had not the least idea where We
were going, but felt certain that this
was the last lap in Germany.
Every man was just about done VI
for the want of food. At one stopping
place, however, we had little hit Of
luck, inasmuch as a Belgian woman
naged to pitch three orr four slices
! of bread through the small opening
above the door, and this almost ended
in a good natured riot.
There was a perfect Chester-le.
Street Pancake Tuesday tussel for the
bread, but no one was injured. LillS
true Britishers, those who were lucky
enough to grab the welcome breaj
shared it out amongst the company
But as you may tell, four slices o1
bread would not go far amongst for
ty men.
AS soon as the guard saw the bread
enter the truck he made top speed
for the good Belgian woman an6
felled her with. the butt of his rifle
The poor old woman was badly hurt
but, nevertheless, she picked herself
up, and managed to scramble away
At ten o'clock the next morning we
stopped at another station, where we
were given a drink of water and some
black bread, but the officials were ir
such a hurry to get the train on the
move that some of our lads never got
chance to see any water, let alone
drink it This was all we had unit
the train stopped again at sever
o'clock that evening.
To our surprise each man was Their
handed a bowl of hot soup, which,
may say, was the best soup have ever
tasted. This opinion was, of course
entirely due to the fact that was lit

HAUX FINISHES
ARDUOUS JOB OF
F|NCERPR|NTINC
Has Taken More Than co..
600 Impressions During
Z Alien Registrations.

When the last of the 400 alien
mics registered by the police during
the past four days had filed out the
final form Sergeant George A. Haux,
heaved a deep sigh of relief last
night and retired for a we'll earned
rest. He had taken no less than "a
finger prints of each man and the
total number of impressions he made
Of alien fingers reached the grand
total of 21,600.
Each alien enemy had to impress
the five fingers of each hand on his
affidavit, beside which he had to
leave the imprint of four fingers of
each hand. There are three affidavits
making total of 81 imprints for
each man.
Haux worked Is hours a day dur
ing the registration, devoting 10
hours to the imprinting of finger
prints and five hours to his regular
| work as the Bertillon operator at
Police Headquarters. During the
registration he took the finger prints
of alien enemies at the rate of SIT
per hour which is a record unex-
| celled in the annals of any police de-
partment.
Beside taking the fingerprints of
the Germans, Haux had to measure
their height and weigh them. The
Germans exhibited great interest in
the Bertillon method, but not a few
of them showed a dislike for the pro-
cess.
Work began today on preparing the
permits which will be ready for issu-
ance February 25.
These permits will be good only
from the home of the holder to his
place of work. An alien enemy will
not be allowed out of his home after
dark and will not be allowed to &c
anywhere not specified on his permit
Permit holders cannot leave town
without first obtaining permission
from c. H. Lane, agent of the De
partment of Justice. This extra per
nit must be a written one. Alien en-
emies must notify Agent Lane, who il
turn notifies the United States Mar.
shall in Hartford, of their change OF
address. Another permit must Their
be issued. \ Failure to notify the prop.
er authorities on making such
changes will get an alien enemy into
a lot of trouble.
One of the most peculiar cases be-
fore the board of registration was
that of young man born here OF
American parents who went to Ger
many on business. His parents for
feited rights of American citizenship
through residing abroad for over six
years. The son became of age while
in Germany and had to serve in the
Kaisers army.
The family came back to America
some years ago and now they find
, that the father must be naturalized
even though he was born in this coun-
try. The son is held to be an alien
enemy until his father has been nat
uraEzed. He must then become a cit
izen and when he receives his final
papers he is eligible to become presi-
dent of the United States because he
: is a native born American.

How Binder Irvine Is Made From
Palmetto Trees.

At last the palmetto tree is coming
into it's own. It has been posing for,
two-thirds of a century in Southern
poetry and Southern oratory, and now
Florida and South Georgia and other
Southern states have turned upon iti
and said: "Now you be useful as
well as ornamental. You shall take
the place of Mexican sisal for the,
manufacture of cotton bagging and
binding Irvine and, instead OF being
used for Recommending to sweep igno-
Bile floors, you shall become useful -
the nation"
A newly invented machine spins the
fibre out of the palmetto leaves. They
are stripped green from the trees. fed
into one end OF the machine and
emerge balls Of binder Irvine from the
other end.
In four months the stripped tree Will
have another coat of leaves which win
be cut OFF at their stems and fed to-
the machine, and SO on three times
a year.
