Cattle Cattle receipts dropped down to
very moderate proportions today, about
6,000 head, but the four days' supply, 34,000
head, has been fully 12,000 heavier than
for the same period last week. Receipts
were very late in arriving and for this
reason there was very little doing on the
early rounds. Desirable handywelght beeves
generally sold at about Wednesday's prices,
but there was a further decline of about
10c on the plain heavy, and unfinished kinds
and the decline so far this week has been
around 20 30c. Cows and heifers ruled
about steady today, although trade was
rather- slow, and bulk of the stock Is selling
15&26c lower than week ago. Business In
stockers and feeders was not very active,
and trend of values lower all along the line.

Until reports touching peace began to
be circulated, the corn market had no
decided downward tendency. Pronpects of
a more plentiful distribution of cars in the
west had eased prices a little, but the nut
look tor more snow and for colder weather
likely to hinder any Improvement in traffic
conditions acted as nearly an of he. 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. Previously, the market had bulged
on' account of good sized export sales,
Provisions advanced briskly because of
the various move which were taken as in
dicating a growing llklihood of peace. At

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
