The following words of the follow ing editorial are just as true 'here as ' In Oregon City, where It first appear ed In the Oregon City Enterprise: "We never knew a newspaper so yellow and sloppy and inaccurate that it did not have one good side, its in terest in home betterment. It has be come a fundamental tradition of the newspaper profession, - that it must give its cordial support to any prop osition tending to advance the inter est of the local community. "If a yellow newspaper feels this obligation, how much more does H rest on the hearts of newspaper work ers who take a serious view of their obligation 'toward the community. Hence publishers and editors feel keen desire for heart to heart talks with their readers, to know what suggestions they can made as to lines of town betterment for which their journal might exert its influence. "We might therefore take occasion to say, that if any of our readers have suggestions to make tending to the upbuilding of this community, why not write us a letter for publication or come in and talk it over? "As the relations between a com munity and the newspaper is a reclp- rocal one, so the newspaper can not accomplish the largest results with out the cordial backing of the locality whom it represents. In towns where merchants don't advertise much, and people borrow their newspaper cop ies of a neighbor, public journals do not give an attractive picture of the place when they circulate about the stale. "The more liberal the backing igiv en a newspaper, the more it can im prove. In our experience of newspaper life, we have found that most pub lishers put the bulk of increased re turns back into their property. An increase of sales and advertising means more up to date presses and type setting machinery, cleaner typo graphical appearance, more money spent for reporting, correspondence, and editorial work. "As a newspaper thus grows !n at tractiveness, it grows in power. It is read with keener attention in news paper offices, legislative halls, and business places far and near. An im pression is given around the state that the town it represents is grow ing more prosperous. Hence every time you advertise or subscribe for a local newspaper, you at the same time help build up a far-reaching agency for community promotion. R. H.

T- ik 14: O "BARBAROUS AS SLAVE DRIVERS" Methods of Exponents of German "Kultur" in Carrying Out Deportation Order. ADD HYPOCRISY TO CRUELTY Officers of "Modern Attila" Gave At. titude of England as Excuse for . Repeating in France Atroci ties Practiced in Belgium. The course of the German armies in France was marked with the same brutalities thai characterized the oc cupation of Belgium. Ample proof has been produced that the entire proceedings were a deliberate part of the calculated system of "fright-fulness." In France the German system of forced labor and deportations, with Its horrors, was the same ns In Belgium. In this nrtlcle is shown the real Iden tity of German practice In both occu pied regions. This can be done from the official documents nnil from n sum mary by Amhussndor Gerard. The harrowing details mny be gathered from the scores of depositions which accompany the note addressed by the French government to the governments of the neutral powers July 25, 11)10. These ore on file in the state depart ment, and have also been translated. along with the official documents. In "The Deportation of Women and Girls From Lille." (New York, Doran.) German Proclamation at Lille. The attitude of England makes the provisioning of the population more and more difficult. "To reduce the misery, the German authorities have recently asked for volunteers to ro and work In the country. This offer has not hud the success that wns expected. "In consequence of this the Inhab itants will be deported by order and removed Into the country. Persons deported will be sent to the Interior of the occupied territory In France, far behind the front, where they will be employed In agricultural labor, and not on any military work whatever. By this measure they will be given the opportunity of providing better for their subsistence. "In case of necessity, provisions can be obtained through the German de pots. Every person deported will be allowed to take with 111 m 30 kilo grams of baggage (household utensils, clothes, etc.), which It will be well to make ready at once. "I therefore order that no one, un til further orders, shall change his place of residence. No one mny ab sent himself from his declnred legal residence from 0 p. m. to 6 a. in. (Ger man time), unless he Is in possession of a permit in due form. "Inasmuch as this Is nn Irrevocable measure, it Is In the Interest of the population itself to remain calm and obedient "COMMANDANT. "Lille. April, 1010." , Notice Distributed In Lille'. "All the Inhabitants of the houses, with the exception of children under fourteen and their mothers, nnd also of old people, must prepnre themselves for transportation in nn hour and a half's time. "An officer will decide definitely what persons will be taken to the concentration camps. For this pur pose nil the Inhabitants of the house must assemble In front of It; In case of nd weather they may remain In the passage. The door of the house must remain open. All protests will be useless. No Inmate of the house, even those who are not to be trans ported, may leave the house before 8 n. m. (German time). "Each person will be permitted to take 30 kilograms of baggage; If any one's baggage exceeds that weight. It will all be rejected, without further consideration. Packages must be sep arately made up for each person and must bear an address legibly written and firmly affixed. This address must contain the surname and the Christina nnme and the number of the Identity card. "It Is absolutely necessary that ench person should, In his own Interest, pro vide himself with eating nnd drink ing utensils, ns well ns with n woolen blanket, good shoes, nnd body linen. Everyone must carry his Identity eurii on his person. Anyone attempting to evade transportation will be punished without merey." "ETAPPEN-KOMMANDANTUR. (Lille, April, 1010.) Belgian Address to French President. "To Monsieur Raymond pnlnmire. President of the French Republic. Paris. "Sir: We have the honor to ex press again our most sincere gratl nde to yon for your most kind rerep :ion, a few days ago. of the deputa tion which went with feelings of leglt !mrte emotion to Inform you of the leporliitlon of lads ami girls, which :he German authorities have Just car ried out In the Invaded districts. "We have collected some details on the subject from the Hps of nn honor ihle and trustworthy person, who stic ceded In leaving Tourcolng about ten lays ago; we think It our duty to irlng these details to your notice bv reproducing textiiiilly the declarations which have been made to us: "These deportations began towards' Easter. The Germans announced that the Inhabitants of Roulmlx, Tourcolng. Lute. etc.. were going to be. transport en Into French districts where their provisioning would be easier.' " 'At night, nt about two o'clock in the morning, a whole district of the town wus Invested by the troops of oc cupation. To each house was distrib uted a printed notice, of which we give herein nn exact reproduction, preserv ing the style und spelling.' (See docu ment, above.) . " 'The Iniinliltiints so warned were to hold themselves ready to depart an hour and a half after the distribution of the proclamation.' "'Each family, drawn up outside the house, was examined by an olllcer, who pointed out haphazard the persons who were to go, No words can express the burbnrlty of this proceeding nor de scribe the heartrending scenes which occurred; young men nnd girls took hasty farewell of their parents a fure well hurried by the German soldiers who were executing the infamous tusk rejoined the group of those who were going, and found themselves In the middle of the street, surrounded by other soldiers with fixed bayonets.' "'Tears of despair on the part of parents and children so ruthlessly separated did not soften the hearts at the brutal Germans. Sometimes, how ever, a more kind-hearted olllcer yield ed to too great despair and did not choose all the persons whom he should by the terms of his instructions have separated.' Herded Like Cattle. " These girls und luds were taken In street "cuTs To Tuetorles, wlicre they were mi inhered and labeled like cat lie and grouped to form convoys. In these factories, they remained IS. L'l or illl hours until a train was ready to re move them.' " The deportation began with the villages of Honey, Ilalluln, etc.; then Tourcolng nnd itoubaix. In the towns the Germans proceeded by districts.' " 'In all about 30.000 persons ure said to have been curried off up to the pres ent. This monstrous operation bus tuken eight to ten days to accomplish. It Is feared, unfortunately, that It may begin again soon. " The reason given by tho German authorities Is n humanitarian (?) one. They have put forward tlie following pretexts: provisioning Is going to break down In the large towns in the north nnd their suburbs, whereas In the Ardeoivs the feeding Is easy and cheap.' " 'It Is known from the young men and girls, since sent back to their families for reasons of health, that In the department of the Ardennes the victims ure lodged in a terrible man ner, In disgraceful promiscuity; they ure compelled to work In the llelds. It Is unnecessary to say that the Inhabi tants of our towns are not trained to such work. The Germans pay them 1.50 in. Hut there are complaints of InsutlU'lcnt food.' "Barbarity of Slave Drivers." " They were very badly received In the Ardennes. The Germans had told the Ardeiinals that these were "volun teers" who were coming to work, und thS Ardenmils proceeded to receive them Willi ninny Insults, which only censed when the forcible deportation of which they were the victims becuine known.' "'Feeling ran especially high In our towns. Never has so Iniquitous a meusure been carried out. The Ger mans have shown all the barburlty of slave drivers.' " 'The families so scattered are In despair and the morale of the wholo population Is gravely affected. Hoys of fourteen, schoolboys In knicker bockers, young girls of fifteen to six ten have been curried off, and the de spairing protests of their parents fulled to touch the hearts of the German offi cers, or rutlier executioners.' "One lust detail : The persons so deported ure allowed to write homo once n month; Unit is to say, even less often than military prisoners,' "Such are the declarations which we have collected und which, without com mentary, con II nn in nn even more striking wuy the facts which wo took the liberty of Inylng before you. "Wo do not wish here to enter Into the question of provisioning in the In vaded districts; others, better quali fied than ourselves, give you, us wo know, frequent Information. It Is enough for us to describe In a few words the situation from this aspect: Entire Population In Misery, 'The provisioning is very difficult; food, upnrt from that supplied by the Hpiinlsh-Ainerlcun committee, is very senrce and terribly dear. , . . People ore hungry and the provisioning is In adequate by at least n half; our popu lation Is suffering constant privations and is growing noticeably weaker. The death rute, too, has Increased consid erably, "Sometimes Inhabitants of I ho In vaded territories speak with n note of discouragement, crying apparently; 'We nre forsaken lly everyone.' We, on the other hand, ure hopeful, Mon sieur le President, that tho 'energetic intervention on tho part of neutrals, which the French government is sure to evoke, will soon bring to an end theso measures which rouse the wrnth oj nJito whom humanity Is not nn emp ty word. , , , "With all conlldence In the sympathy of the government we venture to ail dress u new ami pressing appeal lu your generous kindness and fur-reach- lug liillucni'e In the inline of those who uru sulTci'luK on behalf of Hie whole country."
