Army in Flanders.
SADDENED BY EXPERIENCES!
Those Who Are Leaving Holland Are |
the Men Who Have Evaded He?- J

Hearing Arms.
PARIS. July 17.?Scarcely a boat ?
leaves Holland for England these days ,
without Its contingent of Belgians of j
military ape who have evaded the reK- I
istration of all male Belgians capable'
of bearing arms now required by the
i;erman authorities in Belgium. Many I
of them are on their way to Kngland j
to work in the munitions factories,
while those who at the beginning or J
the war were willed to the colors and ]
on account of the speed with which the
invasion of Belgium was accomplished j
were unable to respond to the call, are |
en route to Join the Belgian army in |
Flanders. I
Among the former there are various,

employed but a f-w miles from the
Mutch frontiers They decided to es- (
cane if possible. They discussed the > ,

remaining Russians agreed to help
them and when evening fell and the
prisoners were returned <o their camp,
these two were covered v-'lth hay
bv their companions and left in tlie
field. Presumably they were not i
missed, for they pot off safelv. making
their wav bv ninht and hidlnp in hay
? tacks by day. At first they went
without food entirely, but finally ap
proached a peasant woman who was
milking in a field, and she pave them
some milk without the exchange of a
word, plainly ignorant of what they
u.er0 doubtless*thinking them German
soldiers in one of the many new tini
forms adopted by the Germans since
the beginning of the war.
The third night they crossed the
r?ltch frontier without seeing a sentry.
Ultimately, with immense difficulties |
engendered by their ignorance of any |
speech famiiiar to the Netherlander,
th'-y succeeded in reaching The Hague,
wher?- they were taken in charge by
the Russian legation and furnished
with the necessary funds for a leturn
to the realm of the Czar
