FRONTIER THRILL
HOW BELGIANS ESCAFED TO HOLLAND,
One of those unwritten true stories of the war is the exploit of Joseph Zillior, an Alsstian conscript of the German Army, in running a tugboat laden with Belgian mfugeen across the frontier into Holland, smashing the high tension electric cable which the Germans had spread across the canal to bar the way.

Zilliex began by assembling his re- fugees, 42 in number, including two women, at midnight in a little café near the quay. He had previously made his three Germans so drank that they were round saleep in the fore- castle of the tag. The little carAVEN set out from the café and crept steal- thily down to the tag, led by several resolute young men armed with au- tomatic pistols. The tug pushed off and Zillior steered down the canal for the Batch frontier.
