AKER. Or April 3. (Special.)
lruplorlnr the American people to
buy thrift stamps, liberty bonds
and to do everything poaalble to win
the war. Mrs. Stephen Boys, whose
little home waa the first to be de
stroyed by a German shell in the town
of VTynffeiie, tVestTlaanden. Belirium,
and who arrived In AsSrlca after three
yeara In the war sons, today told Baker
war stamp solicitors a dramatic story
of her experience with the oermans.
Mrs. Huys Is a ilemlns and speaks
but little tnsllsh. She made her ap
peal to Americans and for America
throuarh her husband, who haa been
In this country for nine years and Is
now employed by one of the Baker
lumber companies; -She warns Ameri
cans not to be too optimistic about the
Germans not getting to I'arla.
"America." ah o declared. "must
arouse itself. It must send every brsve
man It can to the front. When the
war broke oat we never thought the
Germans would ftet to our little town,
which was miles back of the first
battle front. Two months Ister we
heard that the Germans were ad
vancing on M'ynrene. Many of the
cltliens took their clothes and ran
Into the woods, hoping to find a place
of safety, but my mother and I re
mained In our home, thinklns: that the
stories we had heard about German
brutality were overdrawn, but we were
sadly disappointed. When the Germans
were within a mile of the town they
opened fire, and the first shell fired
took away the front part of our house.
My mother and I were to the back of
the house and thua eecaped being
killed. We fled through a back win
dow Just In time to avoid the next
shell, which entirely destroyed our
home.- We saved nothing, except the
clothes' wa had on, and fled to the
house of my sister, four miles distant.
"But we were not to escape t Ger
mans. With hundreds of other Belgian
women we were huddled In the houses
that were left when they arrived. One
of my relatives started. to cross the
street and a shell struck him. injuring
him slightly and causinir him to fall.
A German soldier rushed up and ran
his bayonet through the fallen man.
"The Germans continued to pour
through the town. Camps were estab
lished In the town and the Germans
went Into the houses and took posses
sion of the beds, forcing the families
who lived in them to. slesp on the
floor, regardless of their age- or sex.
The German soldiers looted the houses
of anything they wanted and 'kept the
people that were left in a state of
terror.
"For three years this went on. when
I beard from Mr. Huys, who was in
America. I had been engaged to him
for nine years, although I had heard
nothing from him since the war com
menced. Mr. Huys heard about a priest
who was going to Belgium to bring
refugees to America and asked him to
find me. For many months the priest
hunted for the little town where he
waa told I was living before he found
me. And then I started for America.
When I reached Baker a year ago Mr.
Huys and I were married. Now I am
happy. I do not want to go back. My
country Is destroyed. It la .the fear I
have that Germany may destroy
France, Kngland and even Amerlra that
makes me desire that we shall give
all to "win the war."
Mr. and Mra. Hays are members of a
small Belgian colony at Baker which
haa recently bought over 1100 worth of
thrift stamps and whose people are
said to be denying themselves even
ordinary comforts to meet the appeal
of the Government for money.
