SCENES OF FIENDISH CRUELTY Women Forbidden to Give Food and Clothing to Men Facing Privation and Cold—United States' Appeal Unheeded. Conspicuous among cold-blooded acts of cruelty committed by the Germans, to their everlasting dis grace. the deportation from Mons u prominent. Official documents pub lished by the committee on public information tell part of the harrow ing story. A vivid sketch of the deportations from Mons, ordered by German author ities, drawn by a participant, may well be cited here : "I will take the 18th of November of iast year (1916). A week or so be fore thut a placard was placed on the walls telling my capital city of Mons that in seven days all the men of that city who were not clergymen, who were not priests, w ho did not belong to the city council, would be deported. “At half past live, In tlie gray of the morning on the 18th of November, they walked out. 6.20U men at Mons, myself and another leading them down the cobblestones of the street and out where the rioting would lie less than In the great city, with the soldiers on each side, with bayonets fixed, with the women held buck. “The degradation of It ! The degra- dation of it ns they walked into this great market square, where the pens were erected, exactly as if they were cattle—all the great men of that prov ince—the lawyers, the statesmen, the heads of the trades, the men that hnd made the capital of Hainaut glorious during the last 20 years. “There they were collected ; no ques tion of who they were, whether they were busy or what they were doing. or what their position In life, ‘Go to the right ! Go to the left ! Go to the right !' So they were- turned to tlie one side or tlie other. “Trains were standing there ready. steaming, to take th-ni to Germany. You saw on the one side the one brother taken, the other brother left. A hasty embrace and they were sepa rated nud gone. “You saw tlie women in hundreds, with bundles in their hands, beseech ing to lie permitted to approach tlie trains, to give their men tlie Inst that they bail ill life between tlieniselveS and starvation—a small bundle of clothing to keep them warm on their way to Germany. You saw women ap proach with a bundle that had been purchased by the sale of the Inst of their household effect». Not one was allowed to approach to give Iler num the wiirm puir of stockings or the warm Jacket, so there might be some chance of his reaching there. GIT they went!"—John H. Guile, in the Na tional Geographic Miigaziue, May. 1917 The Belgian women sent n touching appeal to Minister Whitlock : Appeal of Belgian Women. “Brnssels. Nov. 18. 191 tl. 46 Rue <19 In Madeleine. “His Excellency. Mr. Brand Whitlock. Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America. “Mr. Minister: “From the depths of our well of misery our supplication rises to you. “In addressing ourselves to you, we denounce to your government, us well as to our sisters, tlie women of the nation which you represent in our midst, the criminal abuse of force of which our uuhappy ami defenseless people is a victim. “Since the beginning of this atro cious war we lune looked on Impotent- ly ami with our hearts torn with every sorrow at terrible events which put civilization back into the ages of the barbarian horde». "Mr. Minister, the crime which Is now being committed under jour eyes. namely, the deportation of thousands of men compelled to work on enemy soli against the Interests of their coun try, cannot find any shadow of excuse on the ground of military necessity, for it constitutes a violation by force of a sacred right of human conscience. Called “Monstrous Extrerryty. “Whatever may be the motive, it cannot be admitted that citizens may be compelled to work directly or ludi rectly for the en< my against then brothers who are lighting. ^“The convention of The Hague has consecrated this principle. "Nevertheless, the occupying powe: la forcing thousands of men to tld- monstrous extremity, which Is con trary to moral- and international luw both these men who have already been taken to Germany and those who to morrow will undergo the same fate If from the outside, from neutral Eu rope and the United State«, no help Is offered. “Oh' Th Belgian women have als< known how to carry out their duty In the ■ our of danger; they have not weaken- <1 the courage of the soldiers of honor by their tears. •They have bravely given to their country th--e whorn they loved. . . .

Rights of Honor and Conscience. “The mothers cannot stand by while such nn abomination is taking place without making their voices beard in protest. They address you tn the name of the unalterable rights of honor and conscience. “It has been said that women are ‘all powerful suppliants.’ “We have felt authorized by this saying. Mr. Minister, to extend our hands to you and to address to your country a last appeal. "We trust that in reading these lines you will feel at each word the unhap py heartbeeats of the Belgian women and will find in your broad and hu tmine sympathy imperative reasons for Intervention. “Only the united will of the neutral peoples energetically expressed can counterbalance that of the German au thorities. “This assistance which the neutral nations can and. therefore, ought to lend us. will it be refused to the op pressed Belgians? “Be good enough to accept. Mr. Min ister. the homage of our most distin guished consideration." (Signed by a number of Belgian women and 24 societies.) The United States government did not fall to respond to this touching ap peal and To others of a similar nature. The American embassy at Berlin promptly took up the burning question of tlie deportations with the chancellor and other representatives of the Ger man government. In an Interview with the under secretary of state for foreign affairs, Mr. Grew was handed an official statement of the German pluus, which is, in translation, us fol lows : German Camouflage. “Against tlie unemployed tn Belgium, who are a burden to public charity. In order to avoid friction arising there from. compulsory measures are to be adopted to make them work so far a« they are not voluntarily inclined to work, in accordance with the regula tion Issued May 15, 1916, by the gov ernor general. In order to nseertuln such persons the assistance of the mu nicipal authorities is required for the district of tlie governor general in Brussels, while in tlie districts outside of tlie general government. I. e„ In provinces of Flanders, lists were mnnded from the presidents of local relief committees containing names of persons receiving relief, the sake of establishing uniform pro cedure the comp« tent authorities have, in tin- meantime, been instructed to make tin- necessary investigations re garding such persons also in Handera through Hie municipal authorltlea; furthermore, presidents of local relief committees who may lie detained for having refuged to furnish such laits will be released,“ Mr. Grew pointed out that the depor tatlona were h breach of tai th and would injure tlie German cause abroad, In liis official summary of negotatlons which he curried on says: “I then discussed in detail with under secretary of state for foreign af fairs the unfortunate impression which tills decision would make abroad, re minding him that the measures were In principle contrary to the assurance« given to the ambassador by the chan cellor at general headquarters last spring and dwelling on the effect which tlie policy might have on England's at titude towards relief work in Belgium. I said I understood that the measure« laid been promulgated solely by the military government In Belgium and that I thought the matter ought at least t<> be brought to the chancellor*« personal attention In tlie light of the consequences which tlie new policy would entail. Herr Zimmermann Inti mated in reply Unit tlie foreign office had very little Influence with the mili tary authorities and that It was un likely that the new- policy in Belgium could be revoked. He stated, how ever, in answer to my inquiry, that he would not disapprove of my seeing the chancellor about the matter." Solemn Protest by United State*. The formal protest of the United States was as fallows: The above statement is based on “The government of the United Swift & Company’s 1917 figures States has learned with the greatest concern ami regret of the policy of th» and Federal Census data German government to deport from Belgium a portion of the civilian popu Swift & Company's total output lation with the result of forcing them (Meat and by-products) . 5,570,000,000 Pounds to labor in Germany, and Is constrained to protest In a friendly spirit but most Swift & Company’s total Profit solemnly against this action which is $34,65O,(XN).OO n contravention of ull precedent and those humane principles of Interna $.0062 tional practice wlilcb have long been Profit per pound iccepted ami followed by civilized na tions In their treatment of noncomba U.
