WILD EXCITEMENT

LONDON. Oct. 22.-Scenes of hap
piness at Bruges eclipsed those at
Lille after the liberation of the two
cities, according to the correspond
ent of the Daily Mail. During the oc-
cupation of Bruges by the Germans,
the people there were not allowed to
receive news from the outer world or
from their friends inside the German
lines, unless the news was handled by
the German officers The correspond
ent writes:
When the only American woman
left in Bruges was told of the deeds
of Americans in France, she cried
wit y happiness: oh, if / had only
known that"
Bruges was fined enormous sums
on various occasions, the correspond
ent says. and everything made of
metal was taken away. The city was
works at Bruges were robbed Of
every scrap of machinery. The Ger
mans paid for nothing except food
and drink and then only in paper
money. The town itself is intact and
the old belfry and the front of the
hotel Deville are uninjured. Most of
the pictures remain in the gallery and
Bruges 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 tase at Bruges.
