DISTRESS IN BRUSSELS
RELIEF AND DESPAIR. (TIMES AND SYDNEY BUN SERVICES.) LONDON, 25th January. Fifty thousand destitute people throng the Brussels relief kitchens. Soup is distributed daily from twenty-one canteens, under the protection of the American flag. Outeide the townships the villagers are searching the fields in the hope of finding stray potatoes, and pick the fruit rotting in the orchards. Old people return home to die rather than face new lands, while the young are going forth to other places, with poor bundles of rags on their shoulders.
