ESCAPED BELGIAN
 SAYS GERMANS TRY
 WIN OVER PEOPLE

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Fror' a Belgian who has escaped into Eng land after three years of captivity in German prison camps, the Bel gian legation here has received in teresting details of the clumsy eff forts of the German conquerors to alienate the Beleians of Flemish eX- traction from their. countrymen of Walloon descent, as practiced among Beleian prisoners in Germany
 The project, which has been de- scribed as stupidly conceived and ex- ecuted had it's birth, the advices say. in the dreams of the Pan-Ger- manists who would set up in north ern Belgium a Flemish state that would assume the status of Ger man protectorate,
 The first advances were made to- ward the Belgians of Flemish eX- traction confined in the prison camps. They were segregated and forwarded to other prison centers where they were treated with some degree of kindness in an effort to win their support in establishing the new state All measures cal culated to win over the prisoners failed miserably, said the legations s informant, and the groups remained indissolubIy Belgian.

LEST WE FORGET TO
 DO OUR PART

"They say, who have come back from Over There that at night the troubled earth between the lines is carpeted with pain. They say that Death rides whis- ting in every wind, and that the very mists are charged with awful torment. They say that of all things spent and squan- dered there, young human life is held least dear. It is not the pleasantest prospect for those of us who yet can feel upon our lips the pressure of our mothers goodbye kiss. But, please God, our love of life is not so prized as love of right. In this renascence of our country's valor, we who will edge the wedge of her assault make calm acceptance of it's hazards. For us the steel swept trench, the stiffening cold -weariness, hardships, worse. For you, for whom we go, you millions safe at home-what for you?
 "We shall need food. We shall need care. We shall need clothes for our bodies and weap- ons for our hands. We shall need terribly and without failure supplies and equipment in stream that is constant and never-ending. From you, who are our resource and reliance, who are the heart and hope of that humanity for which we smite and strive must come these things"
