HOW THE BELGIANS REPLY
TO GERMAN PROPAGANDA
Soldiers "Invited'' to Surrender
Make Three Simultaneous Raids
on the Enemy Trenches.

How Belgian soldiers in the trenches
recently answered piece of German
propaganda is told in an official dis
patch received by the Belgian legation
here. The message said:
AT point on the Belgian front near
Newport, on March 8, the Germans,
continuing their vain efforts to separate
the Flemish from the Walloon popula-
ton, put up a large proclamation in
wiling the Flemish soldiers of the Bel
gian army to come over and surrender.
The invitation was promptly accepted.
but not in the way expected by the
Germans. for that same night the Bel
gians made three simultaneous raids on
the German trenches.
TN one trench, which was strongly
held, to the west of Nieuvendam near
the PaSchendaee canal. the Belgians
took twenty-five prisoners and left be-
hind them thirty dead Germans In this
raid the Belgians had only few of
their own men wounded and none
killed. The German trench west of the
Union bridge across the User was tax
en- and cleaned up from top to bottom.
Finally, the third trench. west of
LON bartzyde, was taken without strik-
ing single blow. All the occupants of
the trench had been killed except three,
who promptly surrendered and were
brought back into the Belgian lines"

SEALING FLEET DEPLETED
BY NEEDS OF THE WAR

ST. JOHNS. n. F.. March 12.--It was a
greatly depleted Newfoundland sealing
feet which started yesterday on its an
nual hunt in the waters off the Labrador
coast and in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Like everything else in which sea-go-
ing craft are concerned. this industry
has suffered severe losses from the war.
The crack steel steamships were taken
over for war purposes. Two of the best
of them are now at the bottom of the
sea.
The Stephano was sunk by the Ger
man submarine U-53 in its spectacular
raid off Nantucket Island in October
1915. Her sister ship. the Florizel, was
swept on the rocks off Cape Race dur
ing a storm last month.
The wooden Wall" fleet. neverthe-
less, met with considerable success last
year. The decrease III the number OF
pelts obtained was largely offset by the
increased value of the product. Seal
oil formerly little noticed by-product
came into demand for use in the manu-
facture of munitions.
1t was also found that durable gloves
for men in the trenches and in the air
could be manufactured from the skins

Embraced 143 German Societies.

The minutes of the Allegheny County
Alliance, which embraced 143 German
societies of all kinds, also showed that
il had been most active in raising
funds for the German and Austrian
Red Cross; that it had continued col
lecting funds up to the time the United
States went into the war. and that at
least one contribution of $50 was made
to the Swiss Red Cross by it as late
as July %, 1911
On the same date an announcement
was sent to all those collecting money
for the German and Austrian Red
Cross to withdraw their subscription
books for obvious reasons
The minutes of the alliance showed,
too. how it had fought against the
fye-hundred- million dollar loan made
to the allies through the banks Of this
country. and had it's members threaten
to withdraw their accounts from banks
if they took part in the loan.

TELLS WHY SHIPBUILDING
MATERIAL WAS DELAYED
Association Charges It to Change in
Specifications and Government
Demand for Big Timbers.

Frequent changes in specifications
and the governments demands for
large timbers impossible to obtain in
the south were blamed by members of
the Southern Pine Association TODAY
before the Senate committee investi-
eating shipbuilding for delays in de-
livery of shipbuilding materials
l. c. Boyle of Washington is counsel
for the association.
A per cent reduction of lurn Der pro-
duction in the United States last year
was indicated today in a preliminar nv
estimate OF the forest service, which
shows $4,000. d0o. 900 feet were cut.
The country's wartime demands for
lumber caused need for an accurate
census. which is now being taken on
incomplete reports the forest s-ryir-
has determined there was a decrease in
production last year. This may be
changed when full reports. which the
service is urging upon ali mills, are
received
