nrntee, Oct. 25 (By Courier to Zee
brugge.) The stars and slrlpes was the first
Allied flag flown In Bruges In the cen
tral square after the German evacuation.
It was hung out by an American
artist, S. Arlent Kdwards, Inventor of a
c lor engTaMng process, who has been
living In Bruges for the last five years.
"We had been anxiously expecting the
arrival of the Alliet. for twenty-four
hours," said Mr. Kdwards to your cor
respondent, and had prepared to string
the flag, and had arranged with the
proprietor of the house opposite my
rented apartment on the corner of the
square the (lermans ..seized my houso
as soon as America entered the war to
hang It across. '
"I was awakened at C:30 o'clock Sat
urday morning by tremendous, cheering,
and, looking out of the window, saw n
Belgian private surrounded by nn ex
cited crowd. t dashed across In a
dressing, gown and had the Hags up live
minutes later. Then we hung outn
copper kettle, the largest brass object
hidden from the Germans. At first the
people didn't understand the reason.
Then they caught on and very soon
there wos a display nf brass and cop
per, nt every window."
' Mrs. Kdwurds gave the correspondent
the hospitality of h bedroom and a
delicious dinner In the newly liberated
town ham and ckrs almost the last

but French and Kngllsh newspapers
came. regularly, over a lonniKiu mic,
by an "underground route."
Though trie relief committee func
tioned admirably. It was smuggling that
provided the greater pari oi ineir mou.
To get milk, Mr. Kdwards wore a special
belt with a row of tiny bottles, which
were filled nt a farm on tho outskirts
of the town, and walked back unmo
lested. The trjck was widely copied,
nnd one day he learned that the German
sentries had orders to pass their hands
fiver the persons of those entering the
town : and then condensed milk became
a general necessity, though fresh milk
was still smuggled "occasionally. The
Germans tried .to keep the milk for
themselves hy sending soldiers to milk
all cows twice dally. The Belgians re
plied by milking the cows at night, and
when the boches arrived the cow was
nearly dry,
Orretl of Inrudrrs
Especially during the last year the
greed of the Invaders Increased smug,
gllng enormously, By- collusion with a
German Inspector, one cow was requisi
tionedand paid for In cash thirty dif
ferent times, each time the farmer split
ting the proceeds flfty-flfty with the In
spector, who' passed part of the graft
to his superiors, according to the best
low-brow traditions.
Another farmer had a pig which for
three long years never passed the weight
of sixty kilos. Sometimes a German
would remark on the perrenlal youth-

fulness of the animal, whereupon the
farmer would wink and slip across a
hundred mark note. A little later some
one would be notified that pork and
bacon were for sale, and from a dark
cellar where nineteen pig Utters were
carefully concealed a new thin young
porker would be removed to the farmer's
sty.
nuM tmftinn rnrrnhnrnfed what the
correspondent heard elsewhere about the
license and tho debauchery of the t'-
boat men. waucny wnen ineir iunsr
became very heavy one mounting. It
was averred, to ten submarines from
Bruges In a single week you could tell
the naval officer on active U-boat serv
ice by his haggard and slovenly appear
ance, A Belgian civilian doctor said he had
treated mnny cases of morphine and
ether poisoning among mere boys who
did not daro reveal the vice to their own
medical officers, or, for that matter, the
admiral of the U-boat men. They might
stagger, yelling In drunken ribaldry In
the streets with tho lowest women on
ithor nrm. break windows or molest
civilians; they might een Insult officers
or the army they were necr puiumeu.
The colonel of the German police bu
reau was-reported to have said when an
American army captain complained of
gross outrage offered him:
"What do you want mo to do? A
fortnight's arrest for them means a fort--ilcpht-a
.A,,lti ThAaA mrn am 'tnde
gewcllit' (consecrated to death). An
Allied depth bomb will soon wipe out
tho memory of tl.c Insult you were
forced to swallow."
ln other respects German discipline
uns Uriel ly maintained, though a relax
ation was noticeable, In tho last three
months. Tho soldiers were forced to
stand rigid when an ofllcer passed, and
when passing an olllccr to do the goose
step.
Schroder's llar.!tne.H Confirmed
Strongly pro-Ally from the outset, the
Kdwardi- family followed the example of
the population In boycotting the German
theatre and cinemas or cafes nnd restau
rants where the Germans went.
Admiral Schroder saw to It that the
behavior of troops In the streets was
generally Rood enough. Mr. Kdwards
confirmed Schroder's harshness. In re
gard to Schroder. Mr. Itdwnrds said:
"We had a startling demonstration
last year of tho British attitude toward
Kryatt's murder. Ofllcer" and men of an
Kngllsh regiment captured at Nleuport
were made to file past tho admiral stand
ing at the foot of the belfry In the cen
ter square of Bruges. Kvery one of the
group of olllcers who marched turned his
back on Schroder as they marched past.
A few days later the admiral posted a
proclamation throughout the city to the
effect that the incident had been re
ported In a Dutch newspaper In a man
ner, reflecting In his Kxcellcncy. His
Kxcellency regarded this as proof that
spies still existed nt Bruges, with means
of communication with Holland, nnd ac
cordingly gave the Inhabitants warning
not only that the persons concerned In
espionage would be treated with the ut
most severity, but that If any other case
occurred of the Dutch press reproducing
the events In Bruges derogatory to Ger
man prestige, a heavy fine and other
punishments would be Inflicted upon the
city."
Fines to a huge amount were inflicted
on the town on the slightest pretext, and
a favorite punishment was an order that
all Inhabitants must remain Indoors after
midday for a stated period. Thus, when
a imprudent citizen cried "Vive la Bel
glque!" when, some prisoners were be
ing entrained at the station, the town
was fined 100,000 marks, and "Indoors
at noon" becameJhe rule for the fol
lowing week. The punishment was re
peated when, on one occasion, some one
cheered Allied airmen bombing the port
in broad daylight,
In this connection, Mr, Kdwards said
he was convinced n gTeater part of the
damage was done to civilian property in
tho port quarter It was hardly notice
able, as the correspondent saw and that
th! killing of civilians was the work not
of the airmen- but of one German bat
tery whose shells, through defective
fuses or perhaps deliberately to foster
ill will against the airmen, burst on or
near the ground Instead of 1000 yards
high, Mr. Kdwards had investigated
several cases personally and vouched
that they all were caused by land shells
along a regularly defined axis.
The artist gave a vivid description
of the entry of the King and Queen
Into Bruges amid tho tumultuous cheer
ing of the frenzied population. On the
central square they were received by
the burgomaster with ,an escort of a
(solitary gendarmle, named Georges
Joye; who had refused to give tip his
uniform and old-fashioned rifle to the
enemy. Dexplte' fines and Imprisonment
he declined to reveul the hiding place,
and the Germans Anally abandond the
attempt ito overcome his obstlnancy. As
he trod there alone with fixed bayo
net, the King and Queen shook him by
tho hand, and congratulated him. Joye,
greatly moved, stammered, "It Is too
great an honor, too great an honor.
"tneir majesties' visit, which was
practically unattended," concluded the
American, "was a great contrast to the
Kaiser's coming. The finest house In
town always was ready for him and
constantly being repainted or redec
orated, of course, at the expense of the
corporation. Hundreds of thousands erf
marks were thus spent, though the
Kaiser was actually In Bruges perhaps
fourteen days altogether."

Petrograd Commissioner Tells
of Failure of His Univer
sity for Peasants
By ARTHUR COPPiNG
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copvrtokt, ISt), tu Kte Vorfc Times Co.
Arrhangel, Oct, 30.
From a battlefield prisoner we havo
Just taken a copy of the October 10 Issue
of The Red Army, a. Bolshevik Moscow
dally paper. It leads off In display lines
of optimistic sensationalism, Including
"poor rising ngalnst rich, Siberia ablaze,
fiery rebellion, arlilng ngalnst each other
are two enemies, work and capital, poor
and bourgcolse, In Oermany revolution
has started, soldiers are going against
their officers waving red flags and sing
ing revolutionary songt'."
ln the first article It Is said:
"When nil Itussla was under the des
potism of the HomanofT family we.looked
enviously to the republican powers. We
dreamed of the freedom of France,
Switzerland and America ns something
we could never nltaln. Sow we know
tho weakness of all bourgeolse republics.
We know the word democracy it' asso
ciated with the word republic only to
cheat the people, ln free America, so
called, tho gross exploitation of work
produces millionaires and steel kings."
An nccount of the meeting of the Mos
cow Soviet on October 8 begins:
"We are feverishly awaiting the eve
of the western Kuropean revolution."
Then there la an exchange of com
pliments between a distinguished visitor
and Commissioner Zcnvlcnoff at I'etro
grad, who said the educated masses in
thnt city realized It was alt rot about
the Bolshevlkl being like wild animals.
Thousands nt the meeting Zcnvlcnoff
addressed passed a resolution to uphold
tho October revolution and grasp the
outstretched hand of the proletariat.
The meeting asked why there was
not freedom of tho press. He replied:
"There Is no freedom for papers
that poison the people's minds like the-
Den and Xovoe Vremya, but for hun
dreds of badly produced peasants'
papers."
Zenvlenoff added that the output of the
Putlloff works had beep very poor, but
after he had "publicly shamed" the
workers tho result had Improved. He
had opened a peasants' university nt
I'etrograd, which It waa hoped thous
ands would Join, but he had only got
400.
Reverting to the question of the bour
geolse, he said Petrograd had wrestled
with It more energetically than Moscow.
Ho added:
"You may see dozens of bourgeolse
laying wood blocks In Smolnl court
yards, also unloading coal -barges and
cleaning out barracks, and at least do
ing more physical work than they ever
did before."
Fine Clothes for Soldiers
Some, he jauntily added, had sent a
numerously signed address to the Soviet
expressing gratitude that they had
been allowed tc have the same ration
cards as the working classes. Zenvlenoff
said he was taking sable shoes and
other warm clothing from the educated
classes and giving them to the red
army.
"True," ho soliloquized, "they will
make the soldiers rather dazzling, but
they will arise to the occasion."
Incidentally, ho said: "The bour
geolse under the Bolshevik Government
have disappeared. It we are to con
tinue ns we are going we will teach
all the Russian bourgeolse, after that
the bourgeolse of all the world."
Then came a speech by -ovarlsh
Bucharln, who was about to depart with
fraternal greetings to Vienna. He
thought governments' all over the world
were bursting nnd crumbling and said:
"Wo have to share our knowledge
with the western Kuropean proletariat.
In the western Kuropean movement
they have no leader or system or de
termined policy. In this wo must help
them."
The article concludes with the cheer
ful lines: "No quarter for the enemy.
Death and damnation to traitors."

ALLIES TO TREAT

Terms to Austria and Tur
key to Be Same as
Germany's
DECIDED AT VERSAILLES
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copvrioht, lilt, ov Ktw York Times Co.
London, Oct. 30.
Tho diplomatic correspondent of the
Chronicle writes:
"It Is no secret that the Inter-Allled
conference at Versailles has discussed
the terms of the armistice to be granted
to Germany, Austria, and Turkey.
Whether those terms will bo published
la a matter of policy which will be de
termined, by a" conference.
"Thcro In n reason to believe that
Austria's and Turkey's application for
nn armistice, when the latter 1b officially
before the associated Governments,
which Is not yet the case, will be treated
differently from Germany's. Austria's
latest note Is regarded as an unqualified
surrender as well as a demand for Im
mediate peace that Is, without waiting
for the conference which will settle the
affairs of her partnre.
"This may or may not be a ruse to
help Germany to deal with lier Internal
situation by enabling her to plead deser
tion by her Allies as a reason for her
predicament. In any case, the reply to
Austria and Turkey Is likely to be the
same.
" 'Apply to the commander ln the field
for an armistice. The question of peace
conditions will ho settled later," the Al
lied attitude toward Austria, may well
be Identical with that toward Oermany.
except as regards tho constitutional
guarantees, which do not npply here.
"In the case of Turkey, the Bulgarian
precedent will probably be followed.
Credenco should not be given to the
reports of peace overtures from Turkey
coming through Switzerland. Turkish
agents havo been nt work In Switzer
land for months past, but thfclr pre
tended powers have not been taken seri
ously. Thp official channel has been
Washington.
"On October 12, Turkey addressed a
request to President Wilson to ascer
tain the terms of an armistice from the
associated Government!'. America not
being at war with Turkey, the President
was acting as intermediary. No reply
has been given to the request for In
formation, but one Is obviously due, and
(hat it will correctly convey the demand
of Great Britain as tho Power most
nearly Interested, nnd of her associates
may be taken for granted.
"Such Is the present position. The
question of peace conditions has -not
arisen, and consequently they are not
likely to engage the attention of Ver
sailles at this time, hence the Balkans
have not been under discussion."
