More Farm Help Pcterboro.--The employment situa- tion in the city is about normal, ac- cording to the report as issued by the Peterborough Labor bureau, The outstanding feature of the past week has been the increased demand for farm hands and the old trouble of finding men to fill this vacancy has shown up.

Kennedy, editor of the Stratford Beacon-Herald) Brussels, June 29.--Although one does not always look for war marks, there are some events which are still fresh in the memory. Right here we are but 15 miles from the scene of the battle of Waterloo. Of still more recent history, we are in the city where nurse Edith Cavell was shot by the Germans, This morning I saw the place, although the body 'has some time ago been taken for inter- ment in England, The building is known as Ter Na- tionale, or a, shooting gallery. Like every other place in Brussels it came into possession of the Germans short- ly after the commencement of the structure, with an exterior that pro- vides no index whatever to the grim a flight of stairs leads to a long room, now used for target practice by the soldiers during their training. It was down these same stairs that Edith Cavell came after being con- demned to death. Leading from the room there is a heavy door, from which entrance is had to the court yard outside where executions took place at a given hour cach morning. At the spot where Nurse Cavell fell there is erected a small memorial. Hedged about with an iron railing there are a few rose bushes in the rear and a few small shrubs, The grass grows almost en- tirely uncut around the place. With a guide who knew the dis- trict well since boyhood, it is ex- plained that the firing squad lined up here, just outside the door, as they did for every other victim who faced them. One German soldier, it is re- corded, refused to fire, and for his decision he paid the penalty of death. Pardon this rather harrowing detail, but the place where Nurse Cavell fell could not have been more than forty or fifty feet from -where the firing squad was stationed. Naturally I was curious to know if there were any war fear in existence in Belgium, so I sought it from a source that would not be too violently partisan, The answer was like this: "We feel more secure when the army of occupation is in Germany. We are not convinced that there will not be another war. There is a feeling in Germany that some time or other they are going to get back the terri- tory which they lost during the war. Their system of military training can give them a large army on short no- tice. History shows that this land has been the place where other na- tions have come to fiight their wars, Not Easy to Forget "You must remember this," contin- ved my informant, "the people in this land were very close to the war. They felt the hecl on their necks for 47 months, and it is not easy for them to forget. As a people we are doing our best to try to forgive, but I do not believe we can ever forget, But Cannot Forget the War to Forgive; Everything we had passed into the hands of the German troops during the war. Each few days they made a fresh levy on our finances. Of the cruelty I will not speak, as I'said we were seeking to forgive. It is too much to ask us to forget." So there it is, and after meeting with people who managed to- exist through the period of the war, one wonders if the war germ ever will die a natural death. That feeling of troops for security is something which one from the new world finds it hard to appreciate without having met these people. Just now eyes seem to be turned to Italy, which is regarded as a very owerful military nation growing up in the south of Europe. One need have no doubt about the attitude of Italy, This morning I had one of |aheir, new coins, about, the size of the old Yankee dollar, and the transla- tion of the inscription upon it is this: "It is better to live as lion for a day than as a lamb for 100 years." Thus there comes that new breath of might into a land that has been torn and torfured by war. It is indeed diffi- cult to make the idea of disarmament strike its root into this soil and grow rapidly. Back of all the expressions of internatoinal good-will there is that feeling of fear, somewhat like the sensation of a hidden hand in the dark. ) Hw Scheveningen, Holland, June 30. -- It would have been much easier to have made this read, "The Hague," for that is where we are, But that long name, which sounds in the native tongue something like a person gargl- ing with a bit of salt and soda for a sore throat, is where we find ourselves for the week-end. It 15 we most 1a- mous of Holland's watering places, although having its start as a fishing village, Last evening on the way out here we noticed many women wear- ing an odd white headgear, some- thing like a white handkerchief puffed out at the back of the head. These women, they tell us, are fishermen's wives. Why do they wear that dis- tinctive head-dress? Merely because it is custom, and has always been done that way. We crossed from Belgium into Hol- land in late afternoon yesterday at Roosendal, That meant another pre- sentation of passports, another change of money, another change in the garb of officers around the station, another change in language. . Similar to Ontario Something familiar about the rural scenery here, though, Looking from the car window one might readily imagine he were in any good dairy district of Ontario. Great herds of Holsteins, only there are many times the number of cattle that would be seen in similar space in Ontario, Yes, they do wear wooden shoes here, and they wear them in other countries. The men working around the parks in Brussels wore them, and in several places in Holland 1 have noticed them, For the most part peo- ple seem to be dressed just about the 'same as they are in' Canada, But what a number of bicycles one sees in Holland, Every road in the country, all the little towns and here at the beach they go up and down in countless numbers, all pn wheels. Strange, wasn't it, that the first windmill I saw in Holland after crossing the border was of the type we use in Ontario, a steel contrap- tion. But there arc many of the other variety, that we see in pic- tures, with thir great spread of wing. They are not confined to Holland, for I have seen them in three or four other countries, At places where we stopped near homes, I could notice that gooseberries were well filled out and ready to pick and currants are ripe, so I Ws that seasons here are some weeks in advance of. our own. The bulb growers of Holland suffered severely last winter from the severe weather, and in some cases they tell me they have nothing to export for the present. The Hague has no industries of any kind. "It is essentially a resi- dential city for men' who can afford to come there from Rotterdam and Amsterdam, or who have retired from business. Hence there are streets here that for home beauties and com- forts are hard to surpass. Not Far From England Last evening one of the guests I at this hotel informed me that "right out from here is England, just 150 miles away," That was at 10 o'clock 'at night and it was light enough then to sit out in the alcove and read, It also becomes quite light at this time of the year at three in the morn- ing. Right out in front is the North Sea, and it seems to be in a fairly placid mood this morning. As far as one can sce there are those little hut- like beach chairs, and thousands of little portable houses which can be rented, and in which tea and after- noon things to eat can be secured, This is 2a wonderful beach; but the water is rebukingly cold, and none are bathnig today. The weather last night was 50 degrees, which they as- sure me is very cold for this season, Once again I was informed that such weather would suit the Cana- dians very well, as we were used to s0 much ice and snow at home. The next time I shall carry with me 2 hammer with a large whacker at the end of the handle. With that it might be possible to try and nail that foolish idea of the cold of Canada, It seems to be thoroughly established that we are regular ice-hounds, and it seems impossible to correct the im- pression. Perhaps the people here have seen too many pictures of mountains and ice and heard {on many stories of Indians and wild bears.
