BELGIANS EASILY 11 OUTWIT GERMANS Hugh Gibson Says Governor Genera! Gets Suooressed News ? - I B - paper Regularly. SPIRIT .WANS UNBROKEN Stupid Proclamations of German Commanders Cause Much Amusement mjk Among Belgians?Says Stories of Atrocities Are All True. ^ JNew lorK.? tp 10 me euuumje ui. the United States in the war against Germany, approximately 85.000 Belgian civilians had been shot, taken into Germany as prisoners, or fined for offending the German authorities in "Rolffiiim in various WflVS. fl-CfOrdimr tO Hugh Gibson, former secretary of the American legation at Brussels and at present chief of the division of foreign intelligence of the state department, described with many poignant devils the sufferings of the Belgians and the r irrepressible and buevant spirit of the peopie, which, he said, has not been quenched by the Teoton invaders. The stupid proclamations of the German commandants posted daily and /vftpnor nn thp hniWins's nnd boardinss of the streets of Belgian cities caused the population considerable amusement at first, Mr. Gibson said, until it was announced from German headquarters that any one seen laughing . around an official bulletin would be se| verely punished. Thereafter persons reading the bulletins would muffle ^^themselves up in neckcloths that con^Hcealed half their faces and laugh t<om cp! v ac All the Belgian newspapers were suppressed, and the population re, ceived its news from publications issued by the Germans, which told of their military victories, Mr. Gibson declared. x ? n I ^ ^rapcrs ruonssncu gcucuj. "In spite of this fact, the Belgians, under the very nose of the governor general, published clandestine newspapers," he continued. "The governor general would get his copy regularly. Sometimes he found it under his plate, sometimes it came into his home with the vegetables, sometimes it was mailed to him in an official envelope of the German military headquarters I Itself, tfut, in spite of the fact that he offered 100,000 marks for information leading to the arrest of those concerned in publishing the paper, it availed him nothing, and when I left ft was; reported that every time he saw a conv of one of the Belgian se (eret newspapers he fell into a tantrum." English and Dutch newspapers were smuggled into Belgium, Mr. Gibson continued, though a copy of a London paper sold as high as $30 at a time when the German authorities were doing their utmost to stop the smuggling. j The papers smuggled in were 1 rented by the hour and the owner flBLratrfd sit on a man's doorstep until HJpe had finished it. when he would pass V it on )to receive another fee from the H. next Customer. Mr. Gibson referred I to Cardinal Mercier as "the splendid old figure whose work has undone the I labors of many German army corps." Th^ stories of arson, pillage, murder, I torture, and mutilation committed by H the German invaders are all too true, K acc rdfcng to Mr. Gibson. The true i: ! story, iie said, will not be told until the Germans have been driven out of HF Belgium, and northern France, when the population of the invaded districts K will show the world the proofs of the B German atrocities. ; German Spies Poorly Paid. f;,r; The hordes of spies hired by the* | Germans are for the most part poor and ill paid, according to Mr. Gibson. who said that he had the honor of having one assigned to follow him con m- stantly. The man would stand in front of Gibsoifs house in all sorts of weath er ^nd would scan the visitors. Fre|| I quently Mr. Gibson would inform the spy that he might leave, as he was -a onr mnro rirftftps. fnoi e.\{ it-eu us ??v ....... ^Members of the secretary's staff would ftise the spy as a messenger, and would fcestow liberal tips on him in return ?)r fetching cigarettes and other armies. bo,000 GERMAN WAR FOODS "Substitutes" Take v Place of Butter, Eggs, Oil, Sugar, Fish, Sausage and Other Articles. Amsterdam.?Ten thousand substitute food articles have been introduced I into Germany since the war, according to a statement made in the Berlin newspapers by Professor Juckenack, a prominent German food expert. . He mentions as the most striking examples of successful substitution the following: Artificial butter, eggs, salad oil, honey, miWc, coffee, tea, sugar, tobacco. fish, sausage, cheese and caviar. Some of the substitutes are directly harmful, but others are so good tha< !f?"l they will onwive me war ami oecomc I regular articles of consumption, he Chicks Hatched Below Zero. UF!TJdl8T.

Such increased use should, at the same time, bring about a saving of grain. since one common result of eating more potatoes is the eating of less wheat bread, which is a reasonable suggestion when one remembers that t< both of them are used as n source of fi starch in the diet This reduction in 0 grain consumption Is desirable, the de- v partment points out; and there is great (< need of grain for shipment to our sol- ^ diers and to the soldiers and civilians Vl of other countries engaged with us in j the war against Germany. n The use of more potatoes for lunch- v eon should be a simple matter, in the ^ opinion of specialists of the depart- j< raent of agriculture, since practically ^ all Americans like potatoes and since 1 there are numerous ways in which the ' tubers may be prepared to avoid a sameness in the diet. Potatoes, even v ' in their simplest forms?baked and ; boiled?make good luncheon dishes, a Thev mav also be used for making a h variety of dishes, such as creamed ^ 1 and escalloped potatoes, with or without cheese; stuffed potatoes, potato b croquettes, and so on. Combination dishes, such as hash, stews, meat pies * with potato crust, and so on, in which a a considerable amount of potato is . used with other foods, m:u* constitute practically nn entire luncheon, being ^ hearty enough to serve for the purpose with a little salad or fruit or sweets. 1 fDIDN'T WANT TO BOO PAPA [ i r ; Why Sacha Guitry, the French ?laywright, .Abandoned His B'j Success.
