IT WAS 4 n. m. when we arrived nt
Ostend, dark, cold and wet. All the
hotels were overflowing lecauo nil
Belgium had converged on Ostcnd. We
eamo to the Casino, n hugo showy
building which had been turned into
ft British lied Cross hospital. In one
largo hnll were 000 beds filled with
wounded. The Sisters were kind; here
nnd there wns un empty bed. so they
said we might lie down on these
nmong the patients till 6 o'clock, when
we must turn out for them to wash
the men. The tlmo came all too soon;
wo were aroused and turned out Into
tho wet street. Wo then found our 1
clilcr una told hlin we hud Joined the
Belgian Croix Rouge. Proceeding to
the central ofHce, wo were followed
closely by the fox terrier whom I had
christened "Bombe."
At Oxtrnd
They gave us six Boy Scouts to run
our errands, a motor ambulance, and
placed two doctors over the hospital.
The doctors were father and son, the
elder man a noted eye specialist. Ar
rived ut tho palatial hotel we found we
were ln chnrge of the whole of It, with
tho exception of thp right wing, which
was occupied by the Russian Ambas- I
sudor and his suite. The dining ball
had been emptied of furniture, and
mattresses had been placed on the
floor, the authorities not wishing the
beautiful bedroom furniture to be
used. A cook was also provided. Bo
nldes, there were the four lady farm
ers and Jlrs. C , all most devoted
workers.
Very soon tho patients arrived, sev
enty of them, not seriously wounded.
They consisted chiefly of pneumo
nias, typhoids and wounded conva
lescents. On the whole, wo thoroughly
enjoyed that week-end In Ostcnd. Wo
Hpent Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
there, feeling the work a great respon
sibility and busy catering for and
nursing our large family without 11
moment's) rest. Some of our party
dropped In and looked round, and we
really felt wo had taken a wise step,
for tliev had no work and were sleep
ing where thoy could, whilst tho
weather was atrocious.
The Evacuation
The pntrancc hall of La Plage Hotel
is a thing of costly splendor, the roof
a big dome inlaid with mosaics. At
night our cook went home, likewise
the Boy Scouts. There vuh tin one
left to guard all this magnificence, and
we two felt hugely responsible, so we
sent our lady Helpers upstalra to bed
while we dragged one of the patients'
mattresses to the front door. Tlaelng
It on the floor as a harrier, we slept
there. This served two purposes wo
were near the patients .md could also
answer tho door quickly.
Tuesday night was a night of
alarms; thcro was one Interruption
nfter another. Klrst, a drunken man
walked In, announcing that ho be
longed to tho nobility, that hU mother
was the head of all the Croix Rouge
and he wanted a shirt. We could not

tector; that pleased him mightily.
Finding tho place warm, he refused
to go away, so we bolted tip tho stairs
and locked ourselves in one of the
bedrooms. After some time wo ven
tured forth to And that lie had gone.
Wo settled down again on our mat
tress with the faithful Bombe at our
feet. Then an officer came in at 11
p. m. and ordered all our soldiers to
be down at tho great terminus station
ftho station we first arrived at) by
midnight. Wo found their clothes and
diesscd them.
Germans Were Close
Fortunately I had !ld In seventy
brown loaves, having heard that there
might be a scarcity; tho coffee was
also over tho lire, ready for breakfast.
We gave them each a mugful and a
loaf. It was very sad to sec those poor
fellows limp and hobble out In a large
body. The station was nearly a mile
away, it was wet and dark and they
wcro unlit to walk. Those who could
support the others gave a willing
shoulder or arm, and so they left us
leaning on each other halt, lamo and
blind.
Earlier in the evening one of our
doctors came round and told us that
our party were leaving for England
tho following day, as tho Germans
wero not far away. He told us that
Ostend meant to mako a big flght;
the British navy would liro ovvr the
city upon tho besieging CJermans, and
it was not uafe for civilians to stay.
But we had thrown in our lot with
the Belgians nnd meant to stick to
them, so we declined to leave.
After the patientn had departed wo
replaced our mattress and went to
sleep. Suddenly wo wero rudely
awakened by tho door hunting opn
and a tall Garde Clvique shouted out
In French, 'Everybody ls to arise and
fly!" We went upstairs to call our
friends; by mlstnko I opened the
wrong door, the door of an r.pparently
empty room. To my surprise I found
a strange woman ln bed. This led to
a general discovery. Tho building was
filled with strangers, people who had
slunk' in by some back door unknown
to us. I taught my friend tho French
for the warning sentence of the Garde
Clvique, and we each took alternate
flours of this Immense building, open
ing each door and shoutlnc, "Evety
body is to arise and fly!" It was quite

Liberty Bonds are the
real weapons fbr Victory
We have made a start on the
long hard road to Victory.
Our men are fighting at the
front in France.
Our American industries
have accomplished prodigious
results in building up a war
machine to furnish munitions
and supplies.
But we have only begun.
We must do more and more.
This is not a war of armies
but of nations in which every
citizen must do his part.
Every worker in our indus
tries is truly fighting in this
war. Every man, woman and
child who gives of substance
and savings is adding to the
national power. ,
The foundation of all our
vast war-making machine is
the Liberty Loan.
Money is needed to build
more and more ships; to fur
nish food and guns and powder
and transport and airplanes; to
raise and equip new armies.
We must oversubscribe this
Third Liberty Loan and do it
quickly.
We must show the courage
that is in us.
We must show a cheerful
willingness to make sacrifices
for our boys in the trenches.
