r DEVOTED BELGIANS GIV E LIVES TO SAVE "HIGHER-UPS" III LOYAL ORGANIZATION

(Br Associated Press) BRUSSELS, March 24. Stories of heroism, patriotism and devotion of Belgians during the German occupation are continually coining to the surface of the mlasmal pool of Intrigue, treachery and selfishness which the Germans left behind In Belgium. How two men gave up their lives and went to prison for a period which would hare lasted twenty years had the Germans been notorious, that the man "higher up" might life and continue managing the underground organization which was sending valuable Information oat of the occupied country has now been related to the Associated Press correspondent by the man whose life was saved by their sacrifice. Adolphe Buyl, liberal member of the Belgian Parliament, Alderman of the Commune of Ielles In the city of Brussels, is the man for whom two men died and who for four years conducted the organization and lived continually In the fear of execution by the Germans. Late in 1914 the Germans had not organized the Dutch frontier with that murderous efficiency which sent to their graves many young Belgians attempting to cross Into Holland. Buyl bad access to the seals of the municipality and every evening In various out of the way cafes, twenty, thirty, sometimes as many as fifty young men would assemble, reaching the place singly and by devious ways. The seal of the municipality was there in the hand of a different man every night. Passports and identification blanks were there, and the young men would emerge from the cafes suppHed with proper, or rather improper identification and make their way into Holland and thence join the Belgian army battling on the Yaer.. More than one thousand men were sent out between Oc tober, 1914,-and February, 1915. Then the Germans became aware of the leak and the frontier was hermetically, electrically sealed and the work became more dangerous and difficult. Guides had to be provided generally smugglers of gasoline and other commodities across the Dutch border who for a consideration aver

aging fifty francs for each man, would pilot them across the frontier. Rubber gloves and wire cutters were necessary tools of their trade and many a German sentry was found by his relief with" a'knifo sunk deeply in his Jliroat and lying alongside a break in the wire fence. . Protected Man Higher Up At no time were there less than 100 men engaged , in the work. They Included railway station masters, crossing tenders, mail carriers, cafe keepers and many others in humble walks of life, all volunteers desirous of serving their country, even at the risk of being stood against hte wall and shot, . and as a matter, of fact, many of them were. But at no time did more than tvo or three men engaged in the work know that Buyl jyas the "man higher up." The first member of the organization to be taken by the Germans was Phillipe Baucq, whose arrest was simultaneous with that of Edith Cavetl, the English nurse whoso execution by Germans Bent a thrill of horror throughout the world. Baucq was shot on October 12, 1915, with the brave English nurse. Miss Cavell, however, was never charged by the Germans With espionage, but with aiding Belgians and others to escape from Belglum. Baucq was succeeded as Buyl's right hand man by another man named Dubois. On June 1. 1916, Dubois, with 60 others, was arrested and improsened at Hasselt. The Germans boasted that they had smashed the Belgian organization which had evaded them for two years. Dubois and three others were shot on September 25, 1916, and sentences aggregating 200 years were Imposed upon others accused of acting with them. Both Baucq and Dubois knew that Alderman Buyl was head oft the organization and both took their orders from him. For days before the execution the German endeavored by offering to spare their lives to induce them to denounce their leader but they refused and were shot. Nevertheless the work went on. In 1917, Buyl's secretary was arrested and Buyl went into hiding. "For nights I could not sleep," Buyl told the Associated Press, "the slightest soise would make me start, I could not eat and there were moments of depression when I would gladly have faced a machine gun at the edge of a little wood to escape the mental torture of those long endless days and Interminable nights.' Ills secretary escaped with a short sentence. Buyl emerged from his hiding place and went on about his work. "Two days before the armistice, I sent out a courier to Holland," he said with a tinge of pride. "Heroism is the work of an Instant but what I have gone through during i

those last four years la not heroism. It is hell," said Buyl. Before the war he was a florid, happy, jovial man but he Is now emaciated and haggard, but a shadow of his former self. And we fell to talking of Dubois and Baucq and tears welled up Into his eyes as he said. "Greater love hath no man than he who gives up his life for a fellow man."

BELGIAN LAD IS PROUD MEMBER OF YANKEE REGIMENT

(By Associated Press) PARIS, March 23. A youngster of 10 created a sensation in the reading room of the Knights of Columbus club in Paris recently by appearing before the assembled Yankee soldiers garbed In the uniform of an American marine with two wound stripes and three service stripes on his sleeves. . More than a year ago some of the marines were stationed In a little French village when a little .Belgian boy came to their camp. He was received with open arms, and when he told the story of how his mother and father had passed away, they adopted him as the mascot of the regiment. Jean Moyeaux has been with the marines every moment 6ince that day when the little refugee, hungry and lonesome, reached the camp. During two engagements the little Belgian boy was wounded, and one of his little legs is crippled. He walks with a limp, but he always hopes that he will some time be able to walk as straight as his friend, the corporal. The corporal adopted the youngster, and soon he was loved by every member of the 13th regiment. He is a clever youngster abJ in the past year has learend much of the ways of the American. A Knights of Columbus secretary gave the little eoldie some candy and plied the refugee with questions. "Me no Francais, me Gelge," said the

youngster. "Me like Americaine. Spose

Corporal say, me go to American with la regiment. Me no talk beacoup Anglais. Me understand beacoup." From head to foot the young Belgian was garbed in the uniform of the Marines.

On his arm he carried a little rain coa, and he proudly displayed the numerals which showed that he was a member of the gallant 13th. One of the young men at the Knights of Columbus club asked him why ho did not have sergeant's stripes. "Corporal he make me one uniform now for promenade. When me promenade me wear sergeant's suit. Then me boss corporal. My fadder and mudder mort now. Corporal he fadder to me. Will go to America with ma rines." There were tears in ' the eyes of many of the -soldier boys who were gathered at the Knights of Columbus club. They had been through much, but this little figure with the two wound stripes and warped limb gave them just another incident of the horrors of the German attacks in France and Belgium. Little Jean Moyeaux will go to the United States with his corporal and the marines. The captain loves the little youngster. And every man in the regiment would fight for the Belgian boy who has learned to love, and who has learned to know the American soldier as he really is.

LIVER COMPLAINTS Properly, every derangement of tha liver or bilious system is a liver complaint; but the peculiar state now referred to is a CHRONIC AFFECTION, and it usually arises from torpid or congestive state of that important organ. Sometimes the bile Is deficient In quantity or vitiated, or both these Btates prevail at the same time. Some, times the disease is caused by an obstruction in the duct or pipe which conveys the bile from the liver into the bowels. , ' This obstruction is very frequent and is usually caused by the pipe being clogged up by thick, tenacious slime or mucus, and sometimes by gall stones. The bile is then thrown back Into the gall bladder where it is ab. sorted by numerous small vessels which convey it. to the Thoracic ducr, and from thence the bile is conveyed to the heart, and becomes mixed with the. blood. The biles in this manner being diverted from its proper course and circulating in a part of the body where it was never designed by nature, produces evil and often disasous effects upon the health of the

" dividual for want of healthy bile to Ix with 'the half-digested food. As a result, costiveness, or alternately, costiveness and diarrhoea, prevail; to gether with wind In the stomach and bowels, and the- patient Is often "an. noyed with worms and frequently with Piles. The coarse particles of the bile thus mixed with this blood, more or less obstruct the pores of the skin anl email blood vessels, and hence giva rise to various diseases of the skin. It becomes more or less yellow, and sometimes there is a perfect jaundico. The white of the eyes also has a grcoor yellow tinge. More or less bile i strain e off from the blood in its pas sage through the kidneys, and is mix ed with the urine. The tongue is usually coated with a white or brown scurf. There is lr ritation and frequently chronic inflamation of the Inner surface of the ston ach and bowels. Sometimes there ia a loathing of food and at other timei there is a voracious appetite. There is a feeling of oppression across the stomach and chest, as if pressed down by a weight; troublesome and often frightful dreams, low spirits, languor and want of energy. To sum up in a few words, a sensation of fullness and distention aero: i the abdomen, with tenderness on pre eure; lowness of spirits, Biliousnes:', Colics and Bilious Diarrhoea and d?, Benteries; Obstinate Costiveness, Jaun dice, etc., may all originate from tfci same cause a deranged state of ih liver. ' . The most successful treatment is ta give the patient every night on go lng to bed from one to two laxcar'a tablets, or enough, of them to insura one evacuation from the bowels next morning. The dose of laxcarin can be increased or diminished at plea ure, so as to produce the above effect, arsd their use should be continued 3j long as needed. Usually three or fo.S boxes of laxcarin, at the most, six; ara needed, " ' , , i Laxcarin Is sold by the Laxcariq Products Co., Dept. E-94, Pittsburgh. Penna.

Three Eggemeyer Pictures In Herron Institute Maude Kauffman Eggemeyer, Richmond artist, who Is now exhibiting in the public art gallery, has three pictures hung in the John Herron Art institute in Indianapolis where there is an exhibit of Indiana artists. An Indianapolis newspaper says of the pictures; 'The artist displays a vigorous technique and a lively appreciation of color in all three. 'Old Houses of Centervlilc shows a row of irregular roofs topping the closeted houses of the village, and in the foreground are a plant bed of unbroken green and a few cabbage heads set in rich earth. Cabbage green Is one of Nature's choicest dyes and its use in this painting supplies exactly the. right

note. In A Garden is a Lonesome Thing' there Is a garden gay with riotous bloom and then a white house half hidden by green trees. The Woods Road' celebrates the autumn. There are bare trees against a blue sky and the ground is covered with fallen leaves. The sincerity and sturdiness of these admirable paintings earns for them special consideration." A committee is being organized In Kingston, Jamaica, to secure work for the men who return from war service.
