SATURDAY , circulated in Germany as a postcard after the invasion of Belgium . It is headed " The new coat of arms for Belgium . " This is represen- ted by the Lion of Belgium being ridden by a German soldier , the whole surmounted by the Prussian helmet . Beneath the picture is the inscription " To commemorate the conquest of Belgium , 1914. " Among the articles is one singularly well informed , ridiculing the Ger- man claims of a " colossal ' ' victory over the British Navy in July , 1916. It is interesting to note that the first British communiqué on the subject of the Jutland battle produced the same depressing effect in Belgium as in Eng- land . The Belgians , however , noticed that the Germans were not unanimous about their " victory " and in time news began to filter through as to the true results of the battle .

' 99 HOW THE BELGIANS DEFY THEIR OPPRESSORS : We have received facsimile copies of " La Libre Belgique " ( Free Belgium ) , the forbidden Belgian publication which has now been circu- lating in Belgium for two years under the noses of their German tyrants in spite of every effort to suppress it . Accompanying the work of a Belgian who spent part of his exile leaflet is an English translation , mainly the in Herefordshire . more Therefore more straw than usual will have to be used for the feeding of stock .
