Tho news dispatches liidlciito Hint
tho deportation and forced labor of
llelgluns still continue. In a dispatch
from Havre (New York IJvcnliigd'ost,

removal of Hut civilian population of
llelglum continues, according to ad
vices received here. Tho town of Itou

completely, Ostcnd Is being emptied

In another dispatch from Hnvro
(Washington Post, September 2, 1017)
It I lated Hint "the German military
authorities at Itruges, llelglum, ant
conscripting forcibly nil Hut boys and
men of that clly between the ages of
fourteen and t.lJty to work In munition
factories and shipyard. Tins rich and
poor, shopkeepers und workmen, all
nre being taken, only the school teach

German Officer Rebuked Men.
Tho following "Order of tho Day"
shows how the town of liny escaped
the fate of so many llelglum and
French towns. Drunken Herman sol
diers were frightened and began to
shoot men und burn houses. The
commanding officer condemned this he
ca.use It was ant done by his order and
because two German soldiers wero
wounded. It Is evident Hint massacre
and arson were permitted only when
coiuiiinudfil by tho olllccrs.
"Last night a shooting nffray took
place. There Is no evidence that the
Inhabitant of the, town had any arms
In their houses, nor Is there evidence
that the people took part In tho shoot
ing; on tlie contrary. It seems that the
soldiers were under the Influence of
alcohol, and begun to shoot In a sense
less fear of a hostile attack.
'Tin.' behavior of the soldiers during
the night, with very few exceptions,
make a scandalous Impression.
"It I highly deplorable when officers

(From Monday's Dally.)
IJccauno sho had heard her hus
band say that if their newly erected
two-room houso In Kenwood would
hum up thoy could get enough In
surance from It to pay for one twice
at large, Mrs. Kd. Hansen set fire and
destroyed her own homo on January
28. Such was tho statement sho
made at an early hour Sunday morn
ing In tho prcsenco of District Attor
ney H. II. Do Armond, Chief of Police
Nixon and State Flro Marshall II. II.
Pomeroy, who has been In this city
several days conducting an Investiga
tion of tho circumstances surround
ing the case.
Tho Impression had been left by
the Hansen family that some enemy
had been responsible for tho placing
of three fires, tho last of which final
ly accomplished Its work. Each time
Mrs. Hansen had retreated to a safe
distance after setting tho blazo and
professed Ignorance of the cause. She
had been aided In her depredations
by her 13-year-old brother, Anfan
Strand, who had been visiting at her
home.
Illumes Small Ilrotlicr.
Saturday night about 7 o'clock the
Hansen family was brought in to the
district attorney's office and were
kept there until far Into tho morning,
n signed confession finally being se
cured from Mrs. Hansen, who at first
laid tho responsibility on tho little
boy.
Officers went over to his home
about 2 o'clock and walked Into the
room whero he was sleeping. Dy
picking him up In tho darkened room
and asking him suddenly who set tho
fires, he was startled Into admitting,
"my sister." After that the full de
tails wero easily drawn out.
Mrs. Hanson Is but 18 years of age
and Mr. Do Armond is of tho opinion
that sho is mentally deficient In some
respects. Grasping at tho suggestion
made by her husband, she set about
to accomplish the work of burning
her home. Tho placo was built the
latter part of last year at a cost of
$400. Sho understood that it was
insured for $700. Mr. Hansen was
working at tho Pino Treo Mill and
his wifo thought sho could go along
with him If tho house were got out
of tho way.
Attempts Unsuccessful.
One evening sho went out to n
neighbor's and before leaving placed
kindlings Insldo tho front door. Re
turning with tho neighbor sho was
forced Into putting tho tiny blazo out
In order to avoid suspicion. Then
about a woek later sho set another
flro on tho front porch whllo sho was
at work In tho back of tho house. A
passerby extinguished this. Mrs.
Hansen feigning fear that someone
was after her, said sho would go to
her parents to spend tho night. Do
foro loavlng sho again sot the fire,
this tlmo suceodiug in her purpose.
Tho woman and her brother will
bo placed under arrest on the charge
of arson, Mr. Hansen will probably
bo hold as a witness. Tho couplo
