Help Belgian Children
The letter given below was received
by Mrs. Hermiston, of Listowel, form-
erly of Brussels, and speaks for itself,
Somewhere lis Belgium.
DEAD MoTHloe.—I am here in the
land of Duch devastation and destruc-
tion 150 you could never imagine if you
tried £orever-018, itis awtnl, houses,
villages, and towns all torn up—piles
of earth aid such holes, you could
bury 10 teams' of horses—homes ruin-
ed, everything as though some ter-
rible cyclone had struck the places
and ruined them forever.
I am still driving a car for a prince
-next to the Crown Prince of Bel-
gium and mother I want to interest
you in this lam about to tell you.
Ills brother, Prince Reginald Du
Croy and his sister were taken prison-
ers by the Germans, the brother es-
caped but his sister, the princess was
with E(lith Cavell, when she was
taken prisoner. They tried to get
Miss Cavell off but could do nothing,
The princess was arrested with her
but was condemned to be shot with
her,' but her Royal birth saved her
(her mother' is King Albert of Bel-
gium's sister) but she was sentenced
to ten years' imprisonment in Ger-
many, hard labor, They don't know
where she is and both her brothers
wish she had been shot. It would
have been easier. The brother who
escaped has a hospital here and yes-
terday I was there when 800 little
children came—naked, sick, wounded,
hurt little kiddies from less than 1
year to 12 years old. Half of them
did not know their own names. You
see mother they go into a town like
Listowel for instance and take the big
boys
Ga.
and girlie, women and men to
Germany to make nlunitious,-leaving
the ,.very old and wee little ales to
starve, Awful, isn't it and suchch
dear little childen.
You would break
your heart mother, if you sale them,
even I burst out crying—poor little
things. Isni t it awful to think the
little ones should suffer.
Mother, they cut holes in bags and
put their little lees through h and tied
them around their necks, Dozens
were in bed covered up, trying to
keep themselves from starving—no
clothes to put on.
I have given all I can but money

PTD. HERMISTON,
Pte. Ralph Shaw Writes of
Overseas Trip
Monday, 5th day at eee—
DEAIt Boren FOLKS. I'm starting
this letter early and will have plenty
of time to finish before I get a chance
to mail it, which will not be until we
reach land and that is some days voy-
age away yet. So far all is going
nicely, that is for some of us. Yester-
day about 90 per cute of the bunch
were sick but most of them are on
their feet to -day. So far I have kept
up anti feel flue, but there's no telling
what will happen before we land.
For 3 days now we have been run-
ning in 0 storm. Saturday night was
wild and no one was allowed on deck
from 430 p. m. until 10 a, m. yester-
day. This old tub did some fierce
pitching and rocking and everything
movable in the line of dishes, furni-
ture, etc., was battered to pieces. It
WAS that, thee put So many of the
boys down and out. Now we have hit
warmer weather but it is still windy
and web and as it is a head-on wind
the boat runs more smoothly.
This is our 5135 day at sea and I
think we are about half way across
end 1 sure hope so. I never was cut
out for a seaman. It does seem like a
dull way of existing with nothing but
water in sight for days ata time. We
have a little company though as there
nee 8 other transports and a crosier in
this little fleet. There are other crus -
leis on guard a short distance away
and in a day a' so we will be met by a
ember, of destroyers, 'ers so that aur voy-
age
y -
y
e a r ss the war r zone should be c o a
safe.
One has little idea of while the ocean
really is until Ise takes a trip and a
voyage across in a transport gives a
fair conclusion of life Din the deep. Of
course we are mines the luxuries of a
first-class steamer and we see only the
hard, rough side of it, Of one thing I
am sure this will never induce anyone
to travel very much, Most of the
boys are of the opinion that one more
trip and that back to Canada will be
quite enough ocean going for them.
Dont get the idea that there is no
pleasure for us. Every evening we
have a Concert on deck and it helps to
drive away the blues. In the mess

Thursday, April 25th—
Well, mother, itis now S days since
we last sate land and some say that
we will see Ireland to -morrow and
will land about Saturday. Of c0nrse
none of us know. We are running
now into the danger zone but as yet
our escort hasn't met us so I fancy
we are quite a distance out. Ewer
since corning on board we have been
compelled to wear life belts on deck
and from now on we will have to
wear them at all times. Since 91111day
morning or Saturday night, to be ex-
act, we have been almost constantly
eelcowing
kept below d to storm, but
to -day all is clelm andthesun Is shin-
ingy
in r beautifall and everyone is en ,v
ing life better than antime in the
past 10 days. Every one is full up on
ocean travel and all will be glad when
the reach land.
A couple of days ago 6 of us got a
fine goose dressed and roasted, with
it were vegetables, bread. butter,
cheese, jam, pudding and real ten, so
we managed to have one good f:., d on
the old tub, as (me fellow termed it
"the 11150 bright spot on the Atlantic"
amt I think was the war we all felt.
Still we are counting im several more
whets t-: e 1,utd,
asset oar. I hear 111111 we won't land
until eltneluy but even by then we
will be lanky I suppose. Just now the
si}"ilrl of laud, ecru :1, South sea
wont be a welcome sight to one and
all.
Friday afternoon—Iron back at letter
writing again. This is our tenth day
on the open sett and Still Inc land is in
sight. We are all gond and tired of it,
but we have no choice he are matter
and so will have eo stay where see are
for 2 nr 3 days yet, From Saturday
until y,vteeday we were kept below
deck owingtonfetce storm. It. wasr

Meal and as often as possible between
--.11119111116.1115
meals.
To -day is the calmest and warmest
we have had yet and all are enjoying
it in the fullest. We are nearing the
war zone, hence our speed hue been
cut down and the vessel zig-zags back
and forward expect
considerably. I
the convoy will soon meet els alai all
are counting on being in port by
blondtly at the attest. I surely hope
it is true. Now it looks as if our voy-
age is about over. This morning land
has been sighted and I believe we are
praclieally out of the danger of sub-
mari::e attacks. To -day is cold and
dreary on deck and the horizon is
so smoky saw that the land we sawas
very dim in the distance. Several
very interesting things have happened
but I'll say nothing of them now.
Later on if I remember, I'll tell some
of our experiences. If I get a chance

A Car of PReasing
esign
She design of the new Wfllys-Overland Light Four is notablyl
pleasing and satisfying in lines and proportions.
Crowned fenders, sweeping in their curves, and unobstructed]
running boards, emphasize the long, low appearance.
This car is a beautiful example of the modern tendency toward
straight, flowing lines.
The attractive finish—in keeping with the other distinctive
qualities of this Willys-Overland car—completes its thoroughly
stylish appearance.
And the tremendous volume of the Willys-Overland factories'
makes it possible to offer this efficient, stylish and comfortable
car at a reasonable price,
