The hotels near the quay, which remained open, were crowded with refugees who had money and who begged for the opportunity to rent even a chair. Tuesday night brought insistent reports that the Germans would enter Ostend Wednesday at dawn, with the result that few slept At daybreak every street of Ostend was alive with Belgians making their way to the watt, front. Hundreds of Fishermen took their families and friends away in their small boats, which saltad out ot ihe shipping basin in a steady stream, loaded down with frightened women and children carrying their personal effects wrapped in tablecloths and blankets. . Failure of the Germans to arrive at daybreak afforded only a slight relief to the anxious crowds. Rumors were current that Ger man cavalry was less than twenty miles away and the appearance of ihe Taube iii the sky was taken as an indication that the Germans were perfecting their plan for entering the city. Practically no government of any sort remains at Ostend. Thc departure of King Albert and military headquarters left only the^civil guard and policemen. They are attempting to preserve order, but lhere is lack of direction, as the burgomaster, head of the municipal government also has left. The crowds mass about the gangways of thc vessels, making ?ne work of embarking the refugees more difficult. Women and children are trampled iii the stampede, as of frightened animals at every rumor. Bundles of clothes, trunks and b-gs are stacked everywhere in confusion, preventing the free movement of thc crowds. "Women and children first," is the annojneement the ship of ?cers made in Flemish and French as the gangways are lowered. This rule has been enforced for several days, but with the greatest effort; women cling to 'heir husbands and other male relatives, de liantly blocking the gangways. All attempts to persuade the. re fugees to drop their bundles and hasten aboard the boats are un availing, "lt is all we have left," was the reply of an aged and in firm woman, staggering under heavy luggage. Ostend today is amazingly unlike the gay Atlantic City of Belgium, which formerly attracted most of the fashionable pleasure seekers of, thc world. The shutters are closed on the great hotels racing the splendid blahing beach. Rich and poor alike, residents of Ostend and refugees of all classes from the interior of Bel glum, are huddled together. For days the food of women and children has been bread and coffee provided by committees which are attempting to keepNdown the hunger of the people in spite of the fact that all ordinary ac 'ivitics have been suspended. Now even breard is becoming scarce. i he relief boats to Folkestone are so crowded and hur led that they have little time to consider the question of meals and frequently they arc unable to offer even a cold lunch to the refu <ees crowded into every available inch of deck space. Marked attention is shovn the wounded soldiers by the refii recs, who gather about the litters on the dod s and on shipboard, of : criag cigarettes, chocolate and any other d icacy which the most empty lunch baskets afford. Many or tb? soldiers speak only rlemish, while their nurses know only English or French and must -ely un refugees who understand all three languages to make known Ihe wants of the sufferers. Little children often bridge the Iari ruage chasm and with rare sympathy assist the nurses. Belgian, English and French soldiers alike have endured such hardships during thc recent campaign that the uniforms of the wounded soldiers are in tatters. This is especially true of the Bel gians, whose once bright red and blue uniforms are now faded and in shreds-as unkempt in appearance as their unshaved faces. "My poor Belgian boys have such disreputable looking uni forms when they come to me," a Red Cross surgeon remarked, "that . try to get some sort of civilian clothes for them to tone them up. Of course, we cannot get new uniforms now, bt<t the poor chaps are disheartened enough by their injuri?s without having t< hobble about in rags." <* i # The same surgeon said the entire Belgian army should have MX weeks respite to recover from the shock of its constant ser i vice under unprecedent hardships. ! " Tne American consul, Henry A. Johnson, has the .affairs of ! thc Mlies under his care and is on the docks day and night assisting his charges. Americans are not numerous at Ostend, but a few have been coming in dally from Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges. The British consul left Ostend several days ago, the consuls representing the other Allies accompanying him. Rains last night and today intensified ?he sufferings of the crowds which were shoved to the very edge of the pier whe-c they remained without shelter In the hope of catching the next boat Several persons were pushed off the docks by the surging misses', but all were rescued. A dense fog last night cast further gloom over the dimlv IfW*d pgrt wim refugees trying to sleep. The fog grirw were k^t fir ing toward fishing boats off the reefs.
