Of the conference at Berlin that they

REJ0|CES IN FREEDOM
FROM HUN SLAVERY"
Mrs. Eleanor Cosens, Released From
Bruges, Describes Her Four
Year Captivity.

What freedom means to an Eng
lishwoman for four years a slave
of the Germans in Bruges, Belgium
is graphically told in a letter lust
received from her by Mrs. Russell
NJ. MacLennan. 1909 Douglas street
northeast.
The writer is Mrs. Eleanor r.
Cosens, 10 Rue de THydromel, Bruges
She is the widow of an English
clergyman and has been a resident
of Bruges for several years. The day
before the Germans entered the city
Mrs. Cosens sent her two young
daughters to England and herself re-
mained in the hope Of protecting her
property. Hun destructiveness pre-
vented the accomplishment of her
purpose. Her letter follows:
THANK you very much indeed for
your kind and sympathetic letter.
What joy it is to write and receive
letters again. Iou, who have lived
in comparative peace and safety in
your own dear country, little know
what we have suffered for four years
behind the German lines, and living
under their thraldom. Now one really
realizes the beauty of the word free

and to go where you please. and hold
your own opinions. not to be forced to
see everything through German eyes

Saws Intentions Are Kept Secret.
Marcel Cachin protested against the
ignorance in which the government kept
parliament concerning It's intentions at
the peace congress. THE Versailles
congress-" he said. 'is going to discuss
questions Of the most vital interest to
our future and to that Of the world, yet
the parliament and the people are igno-

BILE that in the moment Of history

Attacks Polish Policy.
Ernest La Font attacked the govern

French officials of trying to keep the
Poles from esta blishing the kind Of gov

Applauded by Socialists.
The socialists applauded while some
twenty conservative deputies tried to
drown the applause by shouts of re-
sentiment. NJ. Pichon, the foreign
minister, took the stand that the dis

are going on"
When 1t became evident that the
government was determined not to

II desire to ask NJ. Pichon il he

Another Serious Phase Cited.

Still another situation is arising
which may prove serious at the peace
conference. The news published con-
corning the situation in Germany con-
sists of selecting passages from Ger,
man newspapers representing the
views which the. censorship thinks the
public ought to have. For peace at
the conference it is necessary to
know-frst. the military situation in
Germany; second, the political situa-
ton as it develops; third, the food sit
uation,--and fourth, the economic sit
uation. Measures are being taken to
prevent newspaper men and others of
various nationalities from entering
Germany. The upheaval in Germany
creates unusual conditions and unless
an effort is made by an outside Off
cial medium to secure widespread in
formation peace terms are likely to
be made which have no application to
the actual conditions in Germany.

Cites Treaty of London.

key to different allies is an example
This action is inconsistent with the
political and moral principles and the
new rights of the people to dispose
of themselves-rights which form the
basis of what we hope will be the
great charter of peace"
This article is one of many appear
ing in the newspapers here at the
present time. and indicates the anXl
fety of public opinion on the present
attitude OF the governments. Already
there are evidences of the need of
public men of directive influence in
the daily discussion of current events.
Concerning the gradual formation of
peace terms between the nations
which will reorganize disrupted Eu-
rope, grave mistakes already have
been made in the preliminary nego-
tiations of the allies.
Without adequate public discussion
they fixed the damages which should
be paid by Germany. Now these pub
lie men desire to extend the damages
beyond the limits to which they had
already agreed Exactly the same sit
uation exists respecting the boun-
diaries of the countries which the al
lied governments wish to annex. All
these governments before had made
up their minds and made agreements
which were accepted by Germany as
the basis for the armistice.
