"Kir: I have had It In mind, nnd I
iiiIrIiI say, on my conscience, since
the OermntiH bi'Riui to ilesirt Helclmi
workmen early In November, to pre
pnru for the department a detailed
reKirt on this latest Instance of bru
tality, hut there have heen so many
obstacles lu the way of obtaining evi

I have from time to time sent to the

could, little as that call he, to allevi
ate the distress Hmt this srrutiittou
cruelly Iiiin caused the population of
this unhappy land.
Whltlock Opposed Oelglan Idea.
"In order to tiiuli stand fully the
situation, It In necessary to ro buck to
the autumn of HU I. At the time we
were orRiinlzliiR the relief work, the
Comlte Nntlonul the HelRlnn relief or-1
Riiulzatloii Hint collaborates wlih Hie
commission fur relief In HelRlum i
nroiNisetl 1111 arrangement by which
the HcIrIiiii Rovernuieiit should pay
to Hn own employees left lu HelRlum,
mid other unemployed men besides,
thu wiircn they had been accustomed
to receive. The HelRlnns wished to
do this both for humunlturlan and pa
triotic purposes; they wished to pro
vide Hie unemployed with the means
of livelihood, ami. at the mime time,
to prevent their working for the Oer
mans. I refused to be connected In
any way with this plan, mid told the
HelRlnn committee that It had many
ivosslbllltles of ihinRcr; that not only
would It place n premium 011 Idleness,
hut that It would ultimately exasper
ntetheOermans. However, the policy
was adopted, ami lum been continued
In practice, and on the rolls of the
Comlte National have been borne the
names of hundreds of thousands
Home 7X),(XX), I believe of Idle men
recelvliiR this dole, distributed through
the communes.
"The presence of these unemployed,
however, was a constmu temptation
to German cupidity. Many times they
HoiiRht to obtain the lists of the cho
incurs, hut were always foiled hy the
claim that under the RtmiiiiiHes cov
erliiR the relief work, the records of
thu Comlte National and Its various
HiiliiirRiinlziitloiiH were Immune, llnth
er than risk any Interruption of the
ravltnlllement, for which, while loath
to own any obligation to America, the
nermann have always been Rriiteful,
since It lum had the effect of keepliiR
tho population culm, the authorities
never pressed the point, other tluin
with thu burRonuistern of the com
mimes. Finally, however, tho mili
tary party, always brutal, and with an
iiHtoundliiR iRunrnnco of public opin
ion and of moral sentiment, deter
mined to put these Idle men to work.
"(lenernl von HIssIiir nml tho civil
portion of IiIh ciituurnRO hail always
been nnd oven now are opposed to this
pulley, anil I think have sincerely done
what they could, llrst, to prevent Its
adoption, ami Hccimdly, to lighten tho
rlRom of Its application."
' German Promises Worthless.
In tho early days of tho Oeriuan ad

learned to fenr tho worst. This va
particularly true In Antwerp. In or
