GERMANS LOOTED BRUGES
THOROUGHLY, SYSTEMATICALLY

London, Oct II Scenes of happiness
al Bruges eclipsed those at Lille following
the liberation of the two cities, according
to the correspondent OF the Daily Mail
During the occupation OF Bruges by the
Germans, the people there were not
allowed to receive news from the outside
world or from their friends inside the
German lines unless the news was handled
by the German officers The correspon-
dent writes:
When the only American woman
left in Bruges was told of the deeds OF
the Americans in France, she cried with
happiness: oh If | had only known
that
Bruges was fined enormous sums on
various occasions, the correspondent says,
and everything made of metal was taken
away The city was searched four times
for copper. The works at Bruges were
robbed of every scrap of machinery,
The Germans paid for nothing except
food and drink, and then only in paper
money.
The town itself Is intact and seems to
be as restful as in the old days, except
that all the bridges are gone German
mines completed the work done by
British torpedoes which were launched
at the submarine base at Bruges.

c. T.. BRIGGS DEATH.
Young Soldier Not WiIminGtoniar. hut
Had Relatives Here.

Clarence +. Briggs, whose name appeare
in the casualty list from Washington on
Saturday, was not resident OF Whining
ton. He lived in New York City, but he
was known here, where he had visitc
his uncle, Rev. George r. Reed, when
he was pastor of Grace NJ. z. Church,
and his sister Mrs. John NJ Carpenter,
When Mr.. Briggs left Camp Upton for
France in June, be gave his sisters name
and address for his emergency address
and it i supposed that the mistake was
made on the other side, by cabling TO
Mrs John NJ. Briggs, instead OF Mrs.
John NJ. Carpenter. Mrs. Carpenter
died early in August, and her husband
has since been residing with his mother
at 9O3 Van Buren, street That was why
the cable directed 10 his former residence
1905 West Thirteenth street, was not
delivered. 1t Just happened by chance
that one oi the residents OF West
Thirteenth street, heard of the cable
addressed to Mr.. Briggs, and she inferred
that a mistake was made and Mrs. Car
penter was the name that should have
been on the address.
MIR Carpenter was notified and the
cable delivered to him. He rs at present
i'll with influenza.
Clarence Briggs never knew OF ms
sisters DEATH and he has an older brother
who lived in Dakota and Just recently
went 10 France for Y NJ. {. A. work,

i'Sir: The attention of the bureau
has been invited 10 a news item IN your
raaDer 0f October 10 The item relates n
an outbreak oi influenza n the crev Of an
/ English vessel anchored III the Delaware
7vcr near Deep Water Point.
HThc article in vour paper implies
that the sailors were slcE az the time the
vessel passed Reedy Island quarantine
station and that these sailors should have
been taken of and cared for at the time the
ship passed quarantine.
The facts are that the British steam
ship GlenetIve, from 1T. John, New
Brunswick. passed Reedy Island quaran-
tine on September q and there WAS no
sickness whatever on board. The vessel
was passed. went to Philadelphia was

rent, therefore, that the influenza in
