Honseholdars were given hay to replace the 'wool. A few months ago that hay was requisitioned in its turn to feed horses and other animals, and dry leaves have taken the place of the hay. 'Now all the blankets are being commandeered, and the wisgr women in Brussels are turning their , stuff curtains into clothes for themselves before these, too, are taken from them.
