MAKES DARING ESCAPE
Newspaper Woman Tells Thrill
ing Tale of Adventure.
Declares She Prefers Death to Life in
World Controlled by Victo-
rious Germans.

New York.-A thrilling tale of adj
venture within the German lines in
Brussels, Louvain and Zeebrugge, in
Guiding an escape from Ostend in a
sailboat while pursued by an airplane,
was brought back by Miss B. Bennett
Burleigh, daring English newspaper
woman, who went "over there" to see
things as they are.
"rd just want to die if we had to
live in a world where the German was
victorious" she said, her eyes blazing.
"Tve seen them and I know how they
treat the women who come into their
power. Everything you read about
atrocities is true, and more than can
ever be told. And it's going on in Bel
GUM today"
Belgium is being Systematically de-
stroyed by the Germans, she declared.
Food is scarce and in Bruges the Bel
gians have substituted rats and mice
as their daily subsistence, she said.
81 went everywhere on foot" ex-
planned Miss Burleigh; "that's why
they didn't suspect me. Whenever I
met a German sentry began picking
flowers and they took me for a native.
Later in the season I skirted the
seacoast, retreating from town to town
as the Germans came in. I stood on
the bridge at Ostend and watched
them march in. Then took a nurse
who was a friend of mine and an old
man found IFS a SailhOat nv which we
went by sea to Dunkirk. An airplane
swooped down on us, but fortunately
the British guns opened fire on it, SO
we were saved.
''There can be no peace until the
Germans are beaten. They must be
pushed out of Belgium before we talk
Of peace, else we shall have to do it
all over again in fifteen years." she
warned.

Ambition Slipping Away.
Mineral Point women know how the
aches and pains that often come when

Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy

Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only:
They attack kidney diseases by striking
at the cause.
Can Mineral Point sufferers desire
stronger proof of merit than this Mon

Mrs M G. Ruff, 423 S. Fulton Street,
Monroe, Wis, says: Il was greatly
annoyed by weak kidneys. | had a
dull pain across the small of my back
and headaches, too. One box of Doar' s
Kidney Pills gave me prompt relief
from the kidney annoyance and re-
moved the aches and pains through my
back

SORRY She DIVORCED HIM

st. Louis.-After divorcing her hus-
band, Mrs. Margaret Lane learned that
he was Of a certain value she had not
known of before. He joined the army
and consequently was worth $45 a
month to her and her two children
while alive and $4,000 in case he is
killed.
So Mrs. Lane went into the circuit
court and asked Judge Grimm to set
aside her divorce, saying her husband
had sent check for $45 from Fort
Leavenworth. Also he did not know
she had obtained a decree.
But not so fast. The courts of Mis-
souri, grind slowly and SO Mrs. Lane
will have to write full confession to
her husband and have him consent to
the decree being set aside.
