M Unspeakable Privaticns Suffered by Seven Thousand Inhabitants For Four Years. The name of Termondc will be a thing of shame to all Germans for generations to come, says a correspon- dent on Nov. 20. The world will never forget the story of the deliberate, sys- tematic burning of more than 1.000 houses of harmless inhabitants or of the murdering of innocent. civilians. That has been followed/ by four years oi servitude to the Germans under con- ditions of such utter discomfort that I doubt if any persons of France or Bel- gium have suffered more than those of Termonde. I have been in the place today, be- ing the first Englishman to visit it. as 1 must have been almost the last to See it in its long agony four years ago. r 0f the 2,400 houses which composed the town before the war about 1,300 were destroyed or burned wantoniy, house by house, by the Germans on their first entry after they had been there without molestation from the in- habitants for twenty~four hours. Of the something less than 1,200 houses which remain in the town and the im- mediate environs, nearly all are of the poorer class and small, and the great majority of them more or less dam- aged. A large number would not be considered fit to live in. in ordinary tintes. but the standards of Termonde are not exacting. Of the original 10,- 000 people nearly 7,000 have continued to live there, and any ruin of a build- ing which could be patched up to give shelter was accounted good enough. Two and three households crowded in- to one small Cottage. Rooms were partitioned off to make homes for two families.

The last Germans left Termondc on I Nov. 15 and the first Belgians reached lihe town the following Sunday. All Flanders today has lain under a thick the dismalness of the landscape, and the pathos oi the place was indescrib- able.

But the four years of privation have left their “mark on the population. and never, it seemed to 'me. did the whole people of a town heed pityand sym- pathy more than they. Suffered for Food.

Many prisoners, in- cluding numbers of English, were in the neighborhood, and during the last few weeks there has been a constant stream of parties of all sizes arriving from the near front to be quartered for a few days and moved on again to Germany. local soup committee, of which Mine. Bruyninex, the Burgomas ter's wife, was president, has minister- ed to these with German consent. The prisoners. while in the neighborhood, all received a good bowl of soup each day, without which] they must have starved. The/church of Notre Dame of Ter- nionde contained, with other paintings, two rather famous Van Dycks, both of which were Iiurried off to safety be- fore the Germans entered the town, and have been preserved, as, in a similar way, have been the pictures from the Town Hall. including the mammoth canvas, representing the in- auguration of Mr. de Keyser, who was one of Termonde's most famous sons, as Lord Mayor of London. of the pri~ vote collections in Termornle. however, and it was a town of wealth. practically nothing remains ex- cept such things as individuals man- aged to hide. 1 described the criminal wreckage of the line houses and of the Museum and Art School in 1914. i and what little escaped then has since 1 been requisitioned or inoted.
