BELGIANS BUN
THE GERMAN
GAUNTLET
(Hy Associated Press)
MAASTRICHT, Netherlands, Fob.
H. — A boat load of over 100 Bel
gians recently ran tho Herman gaunt
let on the river Meuse, and after an
exciting night trip to the accompani
ment of machine gun fire, landed on
Dutch soil at Kysden, which town the
fugitives entered In a body singing the
Marseillaise.
The Tug Atlas V lay moored at
Liege, and the emliarkment of her
passengers lasted from half-past five
to eleven o’clock in the evening, the
Belgians making their way aboard
singly so as to avoid arousing sus
picion. She was then full up, with
101 Belgians, a Russian, a French
man and a woman with two children,
eight and ten years of age respective
ly. At midnight the moorings were
cast off, and the boat having first
been allowed to drift quietly out into
the stream, "full steam ahead" was
soon ordered and she flew along the
river in the darkness.
The first shot was fired by a sentry
near Vise. Searchlights were turned
on the escaping vessel, and machine
guns joined in the chorus of rifle shots
from several sides. But all on board
were safe down below except the
sturdy Belgian captain, who stuck
grimly to the wheel while sacks of
coal stacked around him caught the
bullets. The arch under the new
railway bridge a little farther on had
been shut off with beams, but the
solid little tug headed straight at the
barrier, and successfully crashed
through it, sending splinters flying in
all directions. A lightship, from
which several soldiers were firing,
was run down, and the chains and
electric cable on the frontier snapped
at' the violent impact of the fugitive
ship.
. -♦
According to a wire received at An
chorage from Senator Poindexter, the
reduction of tho force in the Anchor
age postoffice will be corrected in
the near future, and sufficient help
allowed Postmaster Wood to permit
of efficient service.

Everybody
Now Reads
Ads.
By BREEN.
The time is gone when
the newspaper reader
passed over the ad. sec
tion.
Ads. today are eager
ly read. A well worded
ad. is entertaining. It is
enlightening. It tells the
reader something. It may
be termed unselfish. The
advertiser has something
you want. True, he
wants something from
you. It is up to you to
decide.
In homes all over the
country newspaper ads.
are read and digested.
The housewife - reads
them. So does the big
business man.
Don’t be a dog in the
manger. Advertise your
wares.
