FOREIGN TROOPS
BKltGEN-OP-ZOOM, Netherlands,
May 14—Dutch soldiers under arms
stand at intervals along the Dutch
Belgian frontier near here, keen ob
servers of the movements of the Ger
mans in devasted Belgium, for Hol
land is determined she will not per
mit without fighting the entry of
foreign troops from whatever side they
may come.
The Dutchmen, themselves not at
war, live through at least some of the
excitement of actual fighting, for in the
stillness reigning over the peaceful
agricultural districts about here they
can hear from time to time the roar
of cannon from the direction of Zee
brugge. Also they are often witness
68 of the chase by German troops of
young Belgians making a dash for
the frontier In an effort to get to
tfolland and thence across the Chan
nel to England to join the Belgian
army In Flanders.
The German sentries just over the
river separating the two countries
never cease their vigilant lookout for
these young fellows and the precau
tions they have taken to prevent them
crossing the line are very Btern.
Bushes have been cut down and ob
stacles in the way of a clear view of
the landscape have been removed. On
the bare ground barbed wire entangle
ments have been erected to a depth of
many yards.
Yet the young Belgians dare every
thing. They crawl beneath the wire
in the night and with luck manage in
many cases to get through at the ex
pense of torn clothing and flesh.
Then, however, there is the open
space before the frontier to negoitate.
This is closely guarded by German
landstrum troops, but the Belgians
often try to cover it in a desperate
dash under the fire of the sentries.
——» ...—1 -
Numbers of them succeed, for the
Germans take good care not to fire In
the direction of the frontier, as they
would thus run the risk of shooting
the Dutch sentinels on the other side
of the line and In this way commit
ting a breach of neutrality.
Once within Dutch territory the
Belgian youths are free. As they
are not yet soldiers, they cannot be
Interned and most of them make theli
way to a port for shipment across the
Channel.
The Dutch troops on other portion!
of the frontier have also to keep a
sharp lookout for smugglers, owing tc
the rich profits in case of success, are
very daring and tricky, and they dc
not hestitnte to use violence ngainsl
their own countrymen.
Gasoline and horses are the most
profitable to the smugglers. The
former brings at least treble its price
In times of peace.
Sound horses of any age fetch ex
traordinary high prices from the Oer
mans, anything up to |500 being paid
for draft horses.
All roads leading to the frontiers
are closed to traffic. Directly or
the border line at wide intervals
stand single sentries with their load
ed rifles resting beneath their arms
About 200 yards further back is a
second line of sentinels and behind
these some distance in the rear are
pickets of a dozen men with a non
commissioned officer.
The smugglers naturally keep to
side paths or go across country- In
case they should be seen by the pick
ets they are at once arrested and their
loads confiscated. Often, however, at
night they succeed in passing through
| the gaps between the pickets. Then
^ their progress becomes more difficult
and their presence is often discovered
by the inner line of sentries who fire
if the smugglers, as sometimes hap
pens, make a dash to reach the Ger
man lines. Occasionally the chase is
a lively one and gives rise to a rapid
fusilade, which in many cases proves
fatal to the smugglers.
