Thousands of Travel Stained War

Perish on Way Pathetic Scenes.
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 29 WJifin the
German retirement In Helium begun
11 was expected that 26U.0UO refu
gees would seek Hufety In Holland.
Up to Saturday night, however, only
a small fraction of this immher had
arrived. At that time about 7000
had pttHHcd thru the wire kuu?s
marking the Dutch-ltetlun frontier.
On Krlduy alone 4 9 9 G arrived. All
but 13 were French people from the
dlntricts of Valenciennes, . Douul,
Cambrul and LeQueHnoy.
The stream of refiiKocs bngtin to
trickle In slowly. At flist several
hundreds arrived each day, but the
number now has Increased to thou
sands. However, thero has been
time to organize at frontier content
food depots In charge of committees
co-operating with the Dutch Ited
Cross. Doctors and nurses hIho were
scot to the border. , .
Two Main Kilruiiis
Bo fur thtire huv been two main
til reams, some thirty in lies ajutrt.
One point of entry Is where - the
Dutch provinces nf Itrabant and Mm
iKiurg meet, and the other is across
the Meune river Into Maastricht, the
capital of Llmhourg province. At
tl:ee points the fugitives are regis
tered by tho military aulhorllles and
must undergo a physical examina
tion. The spectacle of tho weary, travel
stiilned war victims toiling thru the
mud and rain was nf feci in;;, and tho
sufferings of tho old and Inform men,
women and children on tho l.'.O-nillc
tramp wero In tonne. Most of the
French civilians hud hen on, the
rond a month; others six weeks or
two months. All tho French spoke
of the kindness of tho llclglan people
wlin shared their fond with them.
The futlgues of Hih journey were
too much for some of the travelers, j
Tho weaker ones died on the wny and
a few others succumbed soon after
reaching Holland. Many or the refu
gees are suffering from grippe and
bronchial affections.
I'litlicllr liicidriifs
Vany pathetic incidents occurred
during the march. Among tho refu
gees reaching tho Dutch border was
a young mother with the body of her
six-months-nld bribe chiHped to her
breast. The babe had died four days
previously but Hie mother refused to
bury the body In coll held by the
enemy. An old woman of Cnmbral
traveled for three weeks In a chair
tied on a cart. .Scarcely had she
reached neutral soil when the cart
overturned and tho woman was
killed.
To distribute the fugitives In Hol
la ml the government hist week ord
ered the burgomasters of Heventer,
Asuen, Xut;'hen and Arnhem and
other provincial towns further north
to take care of as many of tho refu
gees as they can possibly house and
feed. To these renters the fugitives
now nro being tuken on 14 special
trains currying luoo persons.
