News, however, that Bulgaria and Russia had signed a separate peace led to Increased selling pressure. Subsequently, when word came that Germany had asked Sweden to become a peace aid the market showed still greater weakness. Something of a rally en'sned at the last, but the upturn seemed noticeably lacking in vigor. A wave of selling due to peace talk brought about sharp breaks in the value of oats.

Drawn for The Bee by Herschfeld HE BINDS BELGIAN NATIONAL SPIRIT Escaped Civilian Says Death Sentences Are Passed on 30 Men, Women and Children Each Month. (By AN ESCAPED CIVILIAN.) In the London Times. Since I crossed the wire, a few weeks ago, I have had time to adapt myself to my new surroundings and to understand how completely iso: lated from the rest of the world we are in Belgium. It is not so much that we lack news from the war, for we have learned to read between the lines of the German communiques and to draw our own conclusions. But we do not realize in the least the conflitions prevailing in neutral and allied countries, the various cur rents of opinion and interests, the in finite complexity of .the problems raised by the great conflict. Three years of persecutions and of moral and physica sufferings have brought us to iuch a pitch of glowing enthusiasm for our friends and of irreconcilable hatred of the foe that there is no room left for intellectual subtleties and sentimental reserves. We have become, it is true and per haps in the nobler sense of the word -fanatics. We no longer discrimi nate between God and country. LOYAL TO BELGIUM. , It seems at first incredible that the morale, should be more satisfactory amone oppressed people who have everything to gain by . submitting themselves to their masters tnan among (free people who have every thing to lose by directly or indirectly encouraging the common enemy. It took me some time to under stand that the proximity of the op pressor and the danger of thwarting his efforts, , instead of fostering doubts and provoking disloyalty, were the best cure for war-weariness. It may seem paradoxical, but human nature is never so strong as 'when one would expect it to collapse un der the strain, v The soldiers will tell you that they feel the same difference between the rear and the front. Belgium and northern France happen to be the civilian front in the west. , Daily Executions. This front has, as you know, its casualties like the other. Patriots are shot, literally, every day there is an average of 30 death sentences a month. They belong to every class, and every party. Among the killed there is one deputy, one burgo master, many people belonging to the professional classes and, of course, many more workmen and peasants, including women and chil dren. Falkenhausen, the new gover nor, has ceased to . publish the names of his victims, seeing that, in stead of terrorizing their compatriots, it only stirred their zeal to emulate them. Among the men imprisoned or deported to Germany are many well-known names; at least 10 dep- uties and senators, no fewer than 15 burgomasters and aldermen, several judges, and some eminent professors. The post of burgomaster', of Brussels is particularly dangerous. M. Max is still in a German cell, and his suc cessor. M. Lemonnier, and the Alder man jacqumain have followed him to prison. Inflict;, Terrible Punishment, Such is the fate of all those who, openly or secretly, oppose German rule; no matter whether they are right or wrong. 1 he only law in the coun try is dictated by the German tribunals. Even those who do not be long to the various organizations which help the young men to cross the frontier to join the army, cir culate forbidden papers, or manage to send news abroad, are still exposed. every day. to the most severe sen tences, if the Rovernor chooses to transform the University of Ghent or to set up a new administration the professos or the officials are not al lowed to send in their resignations and to remain faithful to their pledges. It is not enough not to work for Bel gium, and the mere fact of refusing to work against Belgium is punishable as a crime. The consequence is that thousands of men and a great num ber of women are engaged on some secret work, and that all the spies of Germany have not been able to check their activity. I have heard people wonder how, after so many arrests, our organiza tions are able to go on with their work. There is a very simple ex planation. For every man or woman arrested, two others offer to take their place. The whole nation has become t huge secret society. Torture and Trickery. Failure is not due to the want of skill and . activity of German agents. Every measure which brutality and cunning can contrive is taken against our patriots. Under the slightest sus picion they are dragged from their home and imprisoned. For wieks and months they are isolated, unable to communicate with anybody even with HU RR0R1SM their advocate, subjected daily to the most searching examination. They are told that their denial ii useless, since some of their relatives have been compelled to confess their , guilt, or that, if they will confess their crime, they will be allowed to set their wife or their child, who is dying, I have myself spent some weeks it the prison of St. Gilles (Brussels), and have been subjected to this kind of torture. If this fails, threats and blows aref used by the examining officer. I know a boy of 16 who was repeatedly struck for refusing to denounce his "accom plices." Oftce on the black list of the secret police, the patriot, whether guilty or not, will do well 6 leave the coun try. If they cannot catch you in the act, the German agents have other means to arrest you. They manage, for instance, to slip a copy of La Libre Belgique in a drawer or behind a frame while searching your house, and pro ceed to convict you for circulating this forbidden paper. CZECH-SLOVAk ARMY NUMBERS 120,000 IN ALL London, Jan. 10. Commenting on the formation of a Czech-Slovak army in France, which was authorized by decree printed in the French official journal of December 19, the Vienna Neue Freie Presse says the army al ready numbers 120,000 men. . "Although it will nol have any de cisive influence on the military opera tions," the newspaper adds, "it may dc us considerable harm in the event of the transfer of Austrian troops to the western front. The greatest harm, however, is the moral effect this wholesale act of Czech treachery may have on the military power of the dual monarchy." A dispatch from Paris announcing the formation of a Czechoslovak army said that it was daily being swelled by tbe arrival of recruits from the United States. The army, it was added, would be placed under the political control of the nationals of the Czech-Slovak countries, but would be attached to the French army. .
