BELGIANS FORCED
TO AID^ GERMANS
Kaiser's Officers Showed Open
Disregard of Interna
tional Law.
WORKMEN SEIZED AS SLAVES
Cardinal Merclsr Moved to Bitter Con
demnation of Acts of German Au
thorities Which Aroused Detes
tation of Christendom.
Contrary to rules laid down by
the Hague convention, and all prin
ciples of civilized warfare, German
authorities forced Belgians to aid
them in the prosecution of the war.
The committee on public informa
tion gives the facts concerning
these atrocious deeds in a pamphlet
recently male public, from which we
take the following:
October 12. 1915. the German author
ities took a long step In the develop
ment of their policy of forcing the Bel
gians to aid them In prosecuting the
war. The decree of that date reveals
the matter and openly discloses a con
tempt for International law.
"Article 1. wnoever, witnout reason, j
refuses to undertake or to continue
work suitable to his occupation, and In
the executlou of which the military
administration Is Interested, such work
being ordered by one or more of the
military commanders, will be liable to
Imprisonment not exceeding one year.
He may also be transported to Ger
many.
"In voklng Belgian laws or even In
ternational conventions to the con
trary, can, In no case, Justify the re
fusal to work.
"Article 2. Any person who by force,
threats, persuasion, or other means
attempts to Influence another to refuse
work as pointed out in Article 1, is
liable to the punishment of imprison
ment not exceeding live years.
"Article 3. Whoever knowingly by
means of aid given or In any other way
abets a punishable refusal to work,
will be liable to a maximum fine of
10,000 marks, and In addition may be
condemned to a year's imprisonment.
"If communes or associations have
rendered themselves guilty of such an
offense the heads of the communes will
be punished.
"Article 4. In addition to the penal
ties stated In Articles 1 and 3. the Ger
man authorities may, In case of need,
Impose on communes, where without
reason, work has been refused, a flne
or other coercive police measures.
"This present decree comes into
force immediately.
"Der Etuppelnspekteur,
"VON UNGER,
"Generalieutnant.
"Ghent, October 12, 11*15."
"Slavery," Said Cardinal Mercler.
Cardinal Mercier's brief comment is
as follows: "The injustice and arbi
trariness of this decree exceed all that
could be Imagined. Forced labor, col
lective penalties and arbitrary punish
ments. all are there. It Is slavery, nei
ther more nor less."
Cardinal Mercler was In error, for
the German authorities were able to
Imagine a much more terrible meusure.
In October, 1910, when the need for
an additional labor supply In Germany
had become urgent, the German gov
ernment established the system of
forced labor and deportntlon which
has aroused the detestation of Chris
tendom. The reader will not be misled
by the clumsy effort of the German au
thorities to mask the real purpose of
the decree.
"I. People able to worn niuy oe
compelled to work even outside the
place where they llye. In case they
have to apply to the charity of others
for the support of themselves or their
dependents on account of gambling,
drunkenness, loafing, unemployment or
Idleness.
"II. Every Inhabitant of the country
Is bound to render assistance In case
of accident or general danger, and also
to give help in case of public calami
ties as fur as he can, even outside the
place where lie lives; in case of refu
sal he may be compelled by force.
"III. Anyone colled upon to work,
under Articles I or II. who shall re
fuse the work, or to continue at the
work assigned hlai. will Incur the pen
alty of Imprisonment up to three years
and of a fine up to 10,000 marks, or
one or other of these penalties, unless
a severer penalty is provided for by
the laws in force.
"If the refusal to work has been
made in concert or In agreement with
several persons, each accomplice will
be sentenced, as if he were a ring
leader, to at leust a week's imprison
ment.
"IV. The German military authori
ties and military courts will enforce
the proper execution of this decree.
"THE QUARTERMASTER GEN
ERAL, SAUBERZWEIG.
"Great Headquarters, 3d October,
1910."
Military Rulers Responsible.
The responsibility for this atrocious
program rests upon the military rulers
of Germany, who had labored so zeal
ously to Infect the army and the
people with the principles of ruthless
ness. It Is significant that the decree
of October 3, 1916, followed hard upon
the elevation of Hlndenburg to the su
preme command with Ludendorf as his
chief of staff. In his long report of
January 16, 1917, Minister Whltlock
aays'i (Oil file In state department)
"Then, in August, Von Hlndenburg
was appointed to the supreme com
mand. He 1b said to have criticized
Von Biasing's policy as too mild; there
was a quarrel; Von Biasing went to
Berlin to protest, threatened to resign,
but did not. He returned, aad a G«r
man official here said that Belgium
would now be subjected to a mors ter
rible regime—would learn what war
was. The prophecy has been vindicat
ed. Recently I was told that the dras
tic measures are really of Lndendorfa
Inspiration; I do not know. Many Ger
man officers say so."
If Von Bisslng had opposed the pol
icy of deportation when his own Judg
ment was overruled, he contented to
become the "devil's advocate" and de
fended the system in public. Espe
cially instructive Is the following cot»
versutlon reported by Mr. F. CX Wal
cott:
"X went to Belgium to investigate
conditions, and while there I had op
portunity ... to talk one day with
Governor General Von Bisslng, who
died three or four weeks ago, a man
seventy-two or seventy-three years
old, a man steeped In the 'system,'
born and bred to the hardening of the
heart which that philosophy develops.
There ought to be some new word
coined for the process that a man's
heart undergoes when It becomes
steeped in that system.
"I said to htm, 'Governor, what are
you going to do If England and France
stop giving these people money to pur
chase food?'
Von Bissing Relied on Starvation.
"He said, 'We have got that afl
worked out and have had It worked
out for weeks, because we have ex
pected this system to break down at
any time.'
"He went on to say, 'Starratloo will
grip these people In thirty to Stxty
days. Starvation Is a compelling force,
and we would use that force to compel
the Belgian worklngmen, many of
them very skilled, to go to Germany
to replace the Germans, so tfcat they
could go to the front and fight agslnst
the English and the French.'
" 'As fast as our railway transpor
tation could carry them, we would
transport thousands of othei* that
would be fit for agricultural work,
across Europe down into southeastern
Europe, Into Mtsopotaralu, where we
have huge, splendid irrigation works.
All thnt land needs Is water and It
will blossom like the rose.
" The weak remaining, the old and
the young, we would concentrate oppo
site the firing line, and put firing
squads back of them, and force them
through that line, so that the English
and French could take care of their
own people.'
"It was a perfectly simple, direct,
frank reasoning. It meant that the (
German government would use any |
force In the destruction of any people
not its own to further Its own ends."—
Frederick C. Walcott, In National Geo
graphical Magazine, May, 1917.
A brief general view of the character
of the deportations can perhaps be
gained best from the report of Minis
ter Whltlock.
"The deportations began In October
In the Etape, at Ghent, and at Bruges,
as ray brief telegrams Indicated. The
policy spread; the rich Industrial dis
tricts of Htilnault, the mines and ateel
works about Oharleroi were next at
tacked ; now they are seizing men In
Brabant, even in Brussels, despite
some indications and even predictions
of the civil authorities thut the policy
was about to be abandoned.
[The etnpes were the parts or Bel
gium under martial law, nnd Included
the province of western Flanders, part
of eastern I'landers, and the region
of Tournal. The remainder of the oc
cupied part of Belgium wan under
civil government.]
Pitiable and Distressing Scene.
"During the lust fortnight men have
been impressed here In Brussels, but
theh seizures here are made evidently
with much greater care than in fhe
provinces, with more regard for the
aanearanees.. .Tha'c wa=_,no public an

nouncement of the "intention ToTIeport,
but suddenly about ten days ago cer
tain men In towns whose_names are
on the list of chomeurs received sum
mons notifying them to report at one
of the railway stations on a given day;
penalties were fixed for failure to re
spond to the summons and there was
printed oil the card an offer of employ
ment by the German government, ei
ther In Germany or Belgium. On the
first day out of about l,f>00 men or
dered to present themselves at the
Gare du Midi about 750 responded.
These were examined by German phy
sicians and 300 were taken. There
was no disorder, a large force of
mounted Uhlans keeping back the
crowds and barring access to the sta
tion to all bot those who had been
summoned to appear. The commis
sion for relief In Belgium bad secured
permission to give to each deported
man a loaf of bread, and some of the
communes provided warm clothing for
those who had none and iti addition a
small financial allowance. As by one
of the Ironies of life the winter has
been more excessively cold than Bel
glum has ever known It. and while
many of those who presented them
selves were adequately protected
against the cold, many of them were
without overcoats. The men shiv
ering from cold and fear, the parting
from weeping wives and children, the
barriers of brutal Uhlans, all this
made the scene a pitiable and dis
tressing one.
"It was understood that the seizures
would continue here In Brussels, but
on Thursday last, a bitter cold day,
those that had been convoked were
sent home without examination. It is
supposed that the severe weather has
moved tlie Germans to postpone the
deportation."

Disease.
Diseases are not isolated affections
of the single organs or groups of or
gans in which they manifest them
selves—mumps, of the salivary glands;
typhoid, of- the bowels; consumption,
of the lungs; nephritis, of the kidneys;
eczema, of the skin, and so on—but are
a failure of the body as a whole to
carry on its functions, and the particu
lar organs In which the symptoms ap
pear are merely groups of cells that for
specific reasons show the defect.
In the New York Medical Journal
Dr. Smith Ely Jelliffe, the famous spe
cialist in nervous and mental diseases,
says this conception of disease is as
old as Hippocrates, but is "too fre
quently overlooked in an era of absorb
, ing specialists investigation."
