 Had the nurse been found guilty, she would have been shot without court trial. The men faced a worse fate. They were taken oil to slave labor camps, assigned to the hard est work without food, to meet a slow certain death.
 But my people also sacrificed, she said softly, "all of them for Il. berty. You could not know what liberty really means"
 She related during the five years of NaN occupation that the Bel gians were deprived of everything and under the strtctest discipline" ;" Food was so scarce the entire vil- lage suffered from malnutrition. A little more than one-half pound of meat per month was apportioned to each person. The able-bodied men were taken en masse to slave labor camps, reducing the population of the village to children, women, and the aged. Members of the Army of Espionage, who cleverly evaded their overlords and the NaM camps, took to the woods or other places of hiding.
 For twelve months the Allies bombed Trasagnies. When one seo- ton. was under bombardment, the people picked up their few scrapes of food and migrated to another. only to return wihtin short time because bombs were again falling over their head. And always. said Denise with sigh, there was more rubble, a greater portion of homes destroyed, and increasing misery, sickness, and death.
 But the Belgian people are again miling today" she reported with

glowing pride. Tt is only possible though because of the generosity of you Americans who sent us medicine, milk for our children, clothing, food and equipment to remake our hemes."
 Perhaps no one is more reliable authority on present conditions III Belgium than Denise, for as mem Der of the communal administra- ton until her departure last month, she investigated the circumstances of the townspeople for the govern ment.
 Food and clothing are still rigidly rationed. Tubercular cases are num- erous, and most of the population still suffer from the effects of long starvation.
 Practically all the prisoners of war have returned, but wives and children still await-with hope-the return of the majority of the men taken to the slave labor cmapS. Denise reports those who found their way back to Trazagnies are mental and physical wrecks, and are given double ratlOnS.
 The people of Trazagnies, situated in the heart of the Belgian indus trial and coal-mining region are working and receiving generous sal- aries - but yet are constantly in need because of the destitution created by four years of ..a1 dom- nation mad many long months Of bombardment.
 Tt is this way" Denise explained, -Four or five families are living in one house, or scores are sheltered in barracks. They are attempting to make their own homes. So one week they buy a. stove, they next week, they buy a bed, and they the next week, pots and pans. So it goes. It will take years. But despite the struggle, they are happy because they are free"
 Denise denied that King Albert. as often reported, tended toward Fas- cism, when he surrendered his country without resistance in the Spring of 1940. Belgium simply did not have sufficiently strong military forces to fight" she said. The nurse also repudiated the report that Europeans everywhere are anticipat- ing the next war, and that early conflict is expected between Russia and America.
 "All the people at home think of is rebuilding their homes, their lives, and finding a little peace and happiness. And believe me when ] say they always talk of America not only their liberator, but their great benefactor today" she said with emotion.
