12 THE OREGON SUNDAY 1JOURNAW i PORT LAND; SUNDAY MORNING, ' JULY - 21, 1818.' PRETTY BELGIAN LASS WILL SELL NOTS Louise Reusens, Who Will Assist in Tag Day Campaign Thurs- day, and Her Family, Refugees STORY IS THRILLING ONE Mother and Her Little Flock 'Walked From Native Land to , Holland to Escape Heinies. PRETTY REFUGEE WILL SELL FORGET-ME-NOTS Louise Reusens of Antwerp, Belgium, ; will belp with th sale of forget-me-nots , Thursday, when the big tag day cam palgn will be launched to raise funds for - the relief of Belgian refugees In Belgium and France. If Miss Louise herself should ask you to buy you will buy ! Her name you must pucker your Hps all out of Anglo-Saxon lines to pro- rr ounce. From her red Hps It Is charming as is the young lady herself. Fair-haired, rose-petal skin and won derful blue eyes, all this has Louise Reu- - sens. But more! She has a way with her, a smile that wraps itself around your heart She is Just 19 years old ; and the war broke Into her life early In August when she was but a girl of fifteen. v Their Ut ' ytle home, where her mother, a widow, Mrs. Francois Reusens, with her chil dren, -Marguerite, Marie and little Elodle, and a son, Joseph, lived near Antwerp. i Bell Ho end Warning They had a store and sold groceries. On night, at 12 o'clock, in the midst of peace and plenty, the bells began to toll. " AU those bells for which Antwerp Is . famous little bells, quaint clock chimes, big bells, every conceivable means of alarnv-set up their weird .clatter and ' then they learned the Germans were on the border. Men grabbed their firearms and left their homes. Joseph, but a lad, went, too. There was no time for uni forms in most cases the men went into ,. battle in their civilian clothes. ! As the days passed and the. army ad vanced the family fled to relatives in the city and lived there more thin a year after the Oerman occupation. The -mother finally resolved to take her flock out of the country, and with what money they could gather and the clothes they could wear on their backs, the pro cession of six started on Its long three day walk to the Holland border one day . in May, 1918. Fooled Heinle Officer A trusted guide, a Belgian, for a considerable sum of money undertook to take them across and in twos, travel ing by circuitous routes and by-lanes, , always separated so as not to arouse the suspicion that a family was moving, they made their way. They slept In . corn fields and in the streets, as no Belgian family could take them in without arousing the suspicion of the Oermans which, were billeted in every Belgian household. -rvvwra iu wwrjr, iuu nervous iu " eat even the pitiably scant fare their Belgian friends could spare them, they trudged along ; just once their success ' i was held In the balance when a Ger - man officer stopped Louise and her older sister and asked their destination. Contrary to the mother's rules and all 1 ' former precedent, the older sister smiled amiably on the soldier, which was a rare favor to a Oerman officer coming from ' pretty Belgian girl, and he, in turn, was kindly. She tossed her head care lessly and said, 'ph. to my aunt's," and named a little town by mistake through which they had already passed.. He re ferred to his map and was puszled, but - she feigned not to understand and smiled on. , She Showed Him 'In desperation she said "This way; I will show you," and he accompanied them.' A cafe loomed up at the turn. of the road and the girls went In to the good Belgian woman at the bar and cried "auntie." She understood and , folded them In hex; arms affectionately, though she had never laid eyes on them before. The officer, convinced, made his adieu and rode on, while the rest of the little band who had been In hiding followed after. Hidden in. hedgerows and fields, they finally covered the weary miles and then watched their chance between the change of guards . to cross the border. One last ordeal came here In wading the canal, where the water came up to their necks. . Friends were many In Holland and from there they went to London. ,"Wi could have been cared for by i wealthy people In England, as the peo pie cannot do enough for the Belgians who flee there for refuge," Bald Miss Reusens, "but mother would not have help, so we all went to work In the big ammunition factories where there are all French and Belgian refugees employed." "After more thanayear there, a sis ter of Mrs. Reusens, Mrs. Alfred Jorg ;' enson of Portland, wrote. for them to come to Portland, and last fall the mother and the three youngest children arrived, the others following. y " "saaesSissBsssi C wmmmmmmms SI Louise Reusens of Antwerp, Belgium WOMEN ARE NEEDED BY THE RED CROSS TO SORTSPHAGNUMMOSS Tillamook People Are Supplying the Moss and Portland Must Do Her Part.

Women, more women, please, It begs. "If soldiers are to have bandages and surgical dressings, Portland must help," is the tenor of the call. There are four main locations of work where women" workers are needed especi ally now, and on any morning or afternoon, save Saturday and Sunday. The Irvington clubhouse, to engage In sorting sphagnum moss, which has revo lutionised surgical dressings ; .the same work In the Worcester block, 80 Third street ; the making of bandages at , the surgical dressing auxiliary, headed by Mrs. W. J. Burns, 416 Spaulding build ing, and at the Red Cross workroom, eighth floor Hpjnan. Wolfe & Co.. The entire resources of. Tillamook county have beenmobilized and hundreds of sacks of sphagnum are being .shipped to- Portland from Tillamook and Rocka- way, where hundreds or workers are picking the moss in a race against time that a big stock be accumulated before the rainy season. Sphagnum is nature s answer to- the cotton shortage, yet from a dressing standpoint It Is more wonderful than cotton, being 20 times as absorbent. The army and navy have demanded hundreds of thousands, even millions of these dressings, since the Red ; Cross showed the remarkable properties of the 'moss, which, is found suitable for easy picking only In the Northwest and Alaska, and as soon as the moss easy of access is picked It ' Is planned by the Red Cross to organise a picking expedition to Alaska that the supply may not di minish. Personal, appeals have been directed by Amedee M. Smith, general manager of the. Portland chapter, and by Major L. Lowengart, director of the Red Cross workrooms, to. 600 residents of Irving' ton urging their participation in the Important work of sorting the moss at the Irvfngton clubhouse. "I want to urge -the real patriotism of working for our soldiers directly upon the women of Portland," said Major Lowengart. -, ' "These bandages must be made. Moss must be picked, then sorted, then made into dressings. "The people of Tillamook county have taken care of the picking. Can't we manage to ' handle our - end ? These bandages mean the difference between life and death to Oregon soldiers. Would Avenge Brother Rock Island, I1L, July 20. (U. P.)

Wirt at the Auditorium last night. "I want to tell . every mother tonight who is trying to hold back her boy. that the moral safeguards of the boys in Europe are better than In their own home town. A man who goes over lit tle-comes back big; he goes over nar row and comes back broad ; he goes over proud and conceited and comes back a man. "I even went over a Republican I came back an American ; I went over a Congregation alls t and came back a Christian ; and ' when the boys come home' nine-tenths of our churches will be turned to kindling while all the boys go to the bigger church." Doctor Wirt has just returned from the battlefields of France, where he was sent by the United States government to investigate conditions, and the meet ing last night was given under the aus pices xf the American Red Cross. Erea Hens Are Executed In an inspiring and interesting ad dress, tinctured with graphic descrip tions and narrations of scenes on the battlefield, In the training camps, in the hospitals, in- the ruined French and Bel gian villages, scenes and stories related with a marked sincerity, mingled now and then with righteous outbursts of Indignation at the trend of German kul tur. Doctor Wirt held the close attention of his audience for nearly two hours. "Kven the German hens are exCcuted by order of the imperial government when they fail to lay the proper number of eggs," declared Mr. Wirt In one of his outbreaks of feeling against the Huns. A number of proclamations is sued by the Imperial government, which he had collected while In Kurope, Mr. Wirt read orders to burn villages, to kill citizens whether Innocent or guilty. for forcing prisoners to work In the fields, and supplemented by tales of Ger man methods of warfare, of planting the fields of the peasant with bombs and hand grenades, poisoning wells, destroy' ing orchards and ruining farm machinery. Dr. Wirt dwelt at. length on the splendid work of the American Red Cross, both military and civil, and de scribed its activities on the battlefields. in caring for the wounded and dying and writing to the parents of the dead; Its work in the great tuberculosis hospitals of France and in all the hospitals scat tered about for the care of those who have been injured by the raids of the enemy. - He told of -a little girl, wounded by shrapnel, who after suffering untold agoniqe at the hands of the Germans w as cured at one of the hospitals. . Her father found her there the rest of the family had been killed and after clasp ing the hand of Doctor Wirt, said : can now go back to the front and fight a better fight, knowing that my little girl Is In such good care." The speaker told of the work- of the Red Cross In re-educating the crippled soldiers for occupations at which they could earn their livelihood, and be Inde pendent, In supplying clothes to the needy in caring for the homeless, in all its activities in every line. Allied Spirit Unquenchable Hespoke of the wonderful work of the Y. M. p. A. and the Knights of Co lumbus. "There Is perfect harmony be tween the Y. M. C. A. and the Red Cross." said Dr. Wirt. "There is no overlapping, no duplication, each is do ing a 'wonderful work in its own sphere, In perfect harmony with the other. Mi-. Wirt praised the spirit and morale of the American soldiers. "I am an optimist," he declared, "because of the man behind the gun the character of the man behind the gun, for if there was ever a spiritual warfare, it is the members of the allied forces who are fighting against the powers of men and women who have Sacrificed all -Bern blance of humanity." He spoke of the wonderful training the- men were getting, and gave as an example of the dominating spirit, a man who crashed to the earth with an air plane, and when the ambulance appeared on the scene, 'crawled from beneath the wreckage and Insisted upon taking an other trip Instead of going to the hos pital.

Someone told him he might pass if he came to Portland, which he did. arriving, at the recruiting station at 8 :30 a. ra. Here was a repetition, of his former experiences. "I have been wanderluster in most of the odd corners of the .world," said Moore. "I have carried my own frying pan and blanket roll hundreds of miles farther than the average soldier of 10 years' service. I can adapt myself to hardships aa readily as I can to luxuries. I am conversant with forest and wood lore and also am a confirmed 'desert rat.' .VI can hike a la Weston all day and not tire much and am naturally a nature lover and' out-of-doorist. Weak eyes, which are above normal with the use of glasses, are' the cause of my repeated rejection." Wonld Get Kaiser But Moore has an indomitable will and a strong determination to assist In elimi nating the kaiser. "I. who have enjoyed my hiking and wanderlusting throughout the country, would Indeed be In a bad' fix if the kaiser is not eliminated forever," he declared. "He would usurp all that is sweet In Americanism1 h would convert liberty into kultur. All of the wander lusters and adventurers would soon be come slaves and the future Jack Lon dons would not function or materialize. I am very glad to be what I am, an American, and I have seen so many pic turesque spots in out of the way places ; have, viewed our wonderful cities and enjoyed the rustic towns and that la why I love the United States of Amer ica because I have seen so much of It; wandering as free as a bird, my trails obstructed only by that now present satanlc scepter of German militarism." . Mr, Moore states that he knows how to wear a full dress suit as well as to drive and pack a burro. Proper; Observation Of . Play and Anthem i - - .
