HIDE DEAD FROM WOUNDED.

A correspondent of the _Nieuwe Rooterdamsche Courant_ tells an

amazing story of how the German dead are disposed of at Quatricht,

a little village in the neighborhood of Ghent. Every day people see

huge pits dug, and every night they hear the rumble of wagons, but

they must not even peep from their houses.

Each morning, however, shows fresh mounds of earth, and the people

have come to the conclusion that bodies must be brought to the place

of burial in tip wagons.

The wounded are transported during the day so that they may not see

the procession of the dead.
