Chicago, May I. - Favorable

HUNS CAN'T SUPPRESS
SECRET BELGIAN PAPER
Sentence of Death Does Not Stop
Publication,

Paris, April -(Correspondence
of The Associated Press).-Ihe
German administrators in Belgium
have suffered another bitter diSap-
pointment in their effort to rid
themselves of the secret Belgian
newspaper La Libre Belgique, which
has stung. ridiculed and laughed at
them ever since they occupied the
territory of the brave little kingdom.
With every evidence Of pleasure
the Germans announced recently
that they had arrested three Belgian
priests, Dclee Denis and Martin,
and three civilians, and that they
had behind the bars the editors, pub
fishers. printers and distributors OF
the secret paper. One OF the priests,
Denis. was condemned to death, ac-
cording to information received by
the Belgian government. The Others
received prison sentences aggregat-
ing many years.
Next morning a brand new copy
of La Librc Bclgiquc was in its
usual place in the letter box OF
Baron Won Falkenhausen, German
governor general of Belgium, and
the publication has appeared irrcg-
ularly since. The death sentence
upon Father Denis was commuted
to life imprisonment.
