Alderman Buyl was head of the
organization and both took their
orders from him. For days before
the execution the Germans endeav-
ored by offering to spare their
lives to induce them to denounce
their leader, but they refused and
were shot. Nevertheless the work
went on.
In 1917, Buyls secretary was ar
rested and Buyl went into hiding.

Buyl told the Associated Press, ''the

escaped with short sentence. Buyl

YANKEE TROOPS
HAVE BAD TIME
IN TIE ARCTIC

With the American Forces In
Northern Russia.-One night spent
in field headquarters Of the Ameri-
can command holding the Emtsa
river front near kadish (since
abandoned) illustrates the difficult
les which the troops faced in this
desolate region in an Arctic winter.
Field headquarters were in a tiny
rough hewn log cabin. matched
with q roof of spruce boughs and
heated by home made stove. Out
side, in the forest, the troops, shelf
cred only by lean-to's of boughs,
shivered around camp fires in the
snow Inside the hut were few
cots, rough table and field tele-
phone.
The cold wind whst,ed through
the chinks in the logs. and came
up through the cracks in the floor
The officers turned in" early,
wrapped in all the blankets and
overcoats they could get.
Down along the banks of the ice
filled Emsta river, hundred yards
from the Bolshevik lines American
outpost patrols stamped their boots
on the frozen swamp ground in the
brush, unable to build fires for fear
of snipers.
"Bzz-bzz-bzz," went the field
telephone in headquarters hut.
The orderly called the machine
gun officer From the conversation
it appeared that the water in the
cooling chambers of the emma
gees" (the soldiers pet name for
machine-guns) in the front line had
frozen and that the recoil would
not work Because there was no
alcohol or glycerine handy, rum had
been mixed as an anti-freezing
fluid, with the water in the cooling
chambers. The officer said he
would send down some new guns.
He went out to find that every gun
in the place was in the same fix
a long row of them was brought in
the hut and stacked near the stove
to thaw out
Hereafter, ordered the machine
gun officer, ''sleep with the guns.
Wrap them up in the same blankets
with yourselves"
Meanwhile, someone filled up the
stove to hasten the thawing out
process of the guns nearby. The
hut got so hot, that an officer
turned and tossed neryously in his
sleep. Then a soldier rushed in to
shout that the hut had been set on
fire from the overheated chimney.
All turned out in the snow to
empty canteens-the only unfrozen
water on hand-on the roof of the
hut to extinguish the fire.
Then the officers went back into
the hut to SILVER, for in saving the
hut, the fire in the stove had been
extinguished.

ACCIDENT OCCURS
At DISTANT CAMP
MEN ARE INJURED

Frank Rogers and Oscar Link,
members of the crew of the pile
driver working on a bridge near
the Ignite roadhouse, were acct
dentally injured yesterday or their
way home to camp from their work
and were brought into town for
treatment. The train stationed at
the end of steel, which was used
to bring the men in, arrived in
town at about II O'Clock last night
Dr. de la Vergne, who examined
the men Immediately after their ar
rival at the hospital, stated that
Frank Rogers has sustained seve-e
bruise of the chest, but that ne
was not in position to tell anything
about his internal injuries, if any,
until after an X-ray picture had
been taken. Oscar Link, he said,
had nasty wound on his forehead,
over the left eye, which had got
inflamed and closed that member.
He will probably be alright in a
few days.
I The accident occurred at about
5 o'clock yesterday evening, near
camp 367, situated near the end
of steel south of town. The men
working the piledrver, which is
driving a bridge about two miles
ahead of the camp, were returning
home to camp in a double ender.
When near camp, the horses taking
fright at something, speeded up
some. Oscar Link, who was driv-
ing the team, said that the sled
was at the time on the trail on
the right of way at a place which
was thickly studded with stumps
and that ere he had time to check
het team, the sled bumped off a
couple of stumps and tipped over
shooting its passengers among the
stumps. .-.- 49,. =. ~
Frank Rogers would appear to
nave landed rather heavily on his
chest on one of the stumps and was
the worst hurt of the six occu-
pants of the sled. He spat out some
blood shortly after he was picked
up, and the head office was imme-
diately notified by phone of his
condition. Oscar Link suffered the
injury described. while nearly all
tbs rest of the men sustained minor
injuries.
The train which pulled in with
the injured men pulled out again
shortly after midnight for the end

HUNS GUESSING
FOR LONG TIME

RUSSELS.-Storle of heroism,
patriotism and devotion of Bel
gians during the German occupation
are continually coming TO the sur
face of the miasmal pool of intrigue,
treachery and selfishness which the
Germans left behind in Belgium.
How two men gave up their lives
and went to prison for a period
which would have lasted twenty
years had the Germans been vic
torious, that the man higher up"
might live and continue managing
the underground organization which
was sending valuable information
out of the occupied country, has
now been related TO the Associated
Press correspondent by the man
whose life was saved by their sac
rifice.
Adolphe Buyl, liberal member of
the Belgian Parliament. alderman
of Ielles in the city Of Brussels, is
the man for whom the two men
died and who for four years con-

continually in the fear of execution
by Germans.
Late in 1914 the Germans had
not organized the Dutch frontier
with that murderous efficiency which
sent to their graves many young
Belgians attempting to cross into
Holland. Buyl had access to the
seals of the municipality and every
evening in various out of the way
cafes, twenty, thirty, sometimes as
many as fifty young men would
assemble. reaching the place singly
and by devious ways The seal of
the municipality was there in the
hand of different man every
night. Passports and Identification
blanks were there. and the young
men would emerge from the cafes
supplied with proper. or rather
improper Identification and make
their way to Holland and thence
join the Belgian army battling on
the User. More than one thousand
men were sent out between October
1914, and February, 1915.
Then the Germans became aware
of the leak and the frontier was
Theoretically, electrically sealed and
the work became more dangerous
and difficult. Guides had to be pro-
vided-generally smugglers of gaso-
line and other commodities across
the Dutch border-who for con-
slderation averaging fifty francs for
each man would pilot them across
the frontier. Rubber gloves and
wire cutters were necessary tools of
their trade and many German

a knife deeply sunk in his throat
and lying alongside a break in the
wire fence
At no time were there less than
one hundred men engaged in the
work. They included railroad sta

carriers, cafe keepers and many
others in humble walks of life. all

and as a mater of fact, many of
them were. But at no time did
more than two or three men en-
gagged in the work know that Buyl

The first member of the organ

was PHILIPPE Baucq. whose arrest
was simultaneous with that of Edith
