GERMAN HONOR
DRUGGED IN OUST
' Solemn Promises Made to Bel-1
J gians Proved to Be Worse
Than Worthless.
ALL APPEALS WERE FLOUTED j
Pathetic and Dignified Supplications of
Municipal Governments Answered
by Rebuke and Heavy Fine
Imposed by General Hopfer.
Over the earnest protest of Cardi
nal Merrier, heroic head of the
church in Belgium, the terrible
plans of the kaiser's high officers
concerning the deportation of the
people were carried out. The sol
emnly pledged word of the German
governor general of Belgium count
ed as nothing in the malignant hate
shown by the kaiser's creatures.
Cardinal Mercier attempted to per
suade the Geruiau authorities to aban
don their terrible plans for the seizure
of Belgians to assist in the prosecu
tion of the war, reminding them of
their solemn promises in the past:
"Malines, 19th October, 1018.
"Mr. Governor General:
"The day after the surrender of Ant
werp the frightened population aHked
Itself what would become of the Bel
gians of age to bear arms or who would
reach that age before the end of the
occupation. The entreaties of the fu
thers unit mothers of families deter
mined me to questiou the governor of
Antwerp. Baron von Hueue, who had
the kindness to reassure me and to
authorize me in his name to reassure
the agonized parents. The rumor hud
spread at Antwerp, nevertheless, that
at Liege, Namur, and Charleroi young
men had been seized and taken by
force to Germany. I therefore beg
ged Governor von Huene to be good
enough to confirm to me in writing the
guurautee which he had given to me
orally, to the effect that nothing sim
ilar would happen at Antwerp. He
snld to me immediately that the ru
mors concerning deportations were
without basis, and unhesitatingly he
sent me In writing, among other state
ments, the following: 'Young men huve
no reason to fear that they will be ta
ken to Germany, either to be there en
rolled in the army or employed for
forced labor.'
"This declaration, written and sign
ed, was publicly transmitted to the
clergy and to those of the faith of
the province of Antwerp, as your excel
lency can see from the document en
closed herewith, dated October 16th,
1914, which was read in ull the church
es.
solemn German promises oroscn.
"Upon the arrival of your predeces
sor. the lute Baron von der Goltz, at
Brussels I hud the honor of presenting
myself ut his house and requested him
to be good enough to ratify for the en
tire country, without time limit, the
guarantees which (ieneral von Uuene
had given me for th.» province of Ant
werp. The governor general retained
this request In ills possession In order |
to examine it at his leisure. The fol
lowing day he was good enough to
come In person to Mallnes to bring me |
his approval, and confirmed to me, in I
the presence of two aides-de-caiup and j
of my private secretary, the promise
that the liberty of Belgian citizens (
would be respected.
"To doubt the authority of such un-1
dertakings would have been to reflect
upon the persons who had made them,
and I therefore took steps to allay, by
all the means of persuasion in my
power, the anxieties which persisted In
the interested families.
'•Notwithstanding all this, your gov
ernment uow tears from their homes
workmen reduced In spite of their ef
forts to n state of unemployment, sep
arates them by force from their wives
and children and deports tlietu to en
emy territory. Numerous workmen
have already undergone this unhuppy
lot; more numerous are those who are
threatened with the same acts of vio
lence.
Mereier's Moving Appeal.
"In the name of the liberty of domi
cile and the liberty of work <>{ Belgian
citizens: in the name of the inviola
bility of families; in the name of mor
al interests which the measures of de
portation would gravely compromise;
in the name of the word given by the
governor of the Province of Antwerp
and by the governor general, the im
mediate representative of the highest
authority of the German empire, I re
spectfully beg your excellency to be
good enough to withdraw the measures
of forced labor and of deportation an
nounced to the Belgian workmen, nnd
to be good enough to reinstate In their
homes those who have already been
deported.
"Your excellency will appreciate how
painful for me would be the weight of
the responsibility that 1 would have
to bear as regards these families. If
the confidence which they have given
you through my agency and at my re- ]
que9t were lamentably deceived.
"I persist In believing that this will
not be the case.
"Accept, Mr. Governor General, the
assurance of mv very high considera
tion.
"D. J. CARDINAL MERCIER,
"Arch, of Malines."
Municipal governments in Belgium
appealed to the German authorities to
observe their promises. The two dg>
urnents which follow Illustrate BelglM
appeals nnd German answers.
"In the matters of the requisition
made by the German authorities on Oc
tober 20, 1016 (requisition of a list of
workmen to be drawn up by the mu
nicipality) . . .
"The municipal council resolves to
maintain its attitude of refusal.
"It further feels it its duty to place
on record the following:
"The city of Tournai Is prepared to
submit unreservedly to all the exigen
cies authorized by the laws and cus
toms of war. Its sincerity cannot be
questioned. For more than two year*
It has submitted to the German occu
pation, during which time it has lodged
and lived at close quarters with the
German troops, yet it lias displayed
perfect composure and has refrained
from any act of hostility, proving
thereby that it is animated by no idle
spirit of bravado.
"In his declaration dated September
2, 1914, the German governor general
of Belgium declared: 'I ask none to
renounce his patriotic sentiments.'
"The city of Tournai reposes con
fidence In this decaratlon, which It is
bound to consider as the sentiment of
the German emperor, in' whose name
the governor general was speaking. In
accepting the inspiration of honor and
patriotism, the city Is loyal to a funda
mental duty, the loftiness of which
must be appareut to any German offi
cer.
"The city is confiJent that the
straightforwardness ami clearness of
this attitude will prevent any misun
derstanding arising between itself and
the Gerraau army."
Answer Is Lecture and Fine.
"Tournai, 'A'lrd October, 1916.
"In permitting itself, through the
medium of municipal resolutions, to
oppose the orders of the Genuau mili
tary authorities iu the occupied ' ter
ritory, the city Is guilty of an unexam
pled arrogance am! of a complete mis
understanding of the situation created
by the state of war.
"The 'clear and simple situation' Is
In reality the following:
"The military authorities order tne
city to obey. Otherwise the city must
bear the heavy consequences, as I have
pointed out In my previous explana
tions.
"The general commanding the army
has Inflicted on the city—on account
of Its refusal, up to date, to furnish
the lists demanded—a punitive con
tribution of 200,000 marks, which must
be paid within the next six days, be
ginning with today. The general also
adds that until such time as all the
lists demanded are in his bands, for
every day In arrears, beginning with
December 31, 1916, a sum of 20,000
marks will be paid by the city.

duce the German authorities to aban
don their terrible plans.
Recited Wrong* of Workmen.
"Commission Syndicate of Belgium,
"Brussels, 30th Oct., 1816.
[To the Governor General of Belgium.]
"Excellency: The measures which
are being planned by your adminis
tration to force the unemployed to
work for the Invading power, the de
portation of our unhappy comrades
which has begun In ihe region of the
i-tapes, move most profoundly the en
tire working class In Belgium.
"The undersigned, members and rep
resentatives of the great central so
cialist and Independent syndicates of
Belgium, would consider that they had
not fulfilled their duty did they not ex
press to you the painful sentiment
which agitate the laborers and convey
to you the echo of their touching com
plaints.
"They have seen the machinery
taken from their factories, the most
diverse kind of raw materials requisi
tioned, the accumulation of obstacles
to prevent the resumption of regular
work, the disappearance one by one of
every public liberty of which they were
proud. ■■ • ;

"For more than two years the la
boring class more than any other has
been forced to undergo the inost bit
ter trials, experiencing misery and
often hunger, while Its children far
awny fight and die, and the parents
o£ these children can never convey fo
them the affection with which their
hearts are overflowing.
Pathetic Appeal Disregarded.
"Our laboring class has endured
everything with the utmost, calm and
the most Impressive dignity, repressing
its sufferings. Its complaints and heavy
trials, sacrificing everything to its
Ideal of liberty and independence. But
the measares which have been an
nounced will make the population drain
the dregs (of the cup) of human sor
row ; the proletariat, the poor upon
whom unemployment has been forced,
cftirens of a modem state, are to he
condemned to forced labor without
having disobeyed any regulation or
order.
"In the name of the families of
workmen among which the most pain
ful anxiety reigns at present, whose
mothers, whose fiancees, and whose
little children are destined to shed so
many more tears, we beg your excel
lency to prevent the accomplishment
of this painful aot. contrary to in
ternational law, contrary to the dig
nity of the working classes, contrary
to everything which makes for worth

"We beg your excellency to pardon
our emotion and we offer you the hom
age of our distinguished consideration."

GUARD THE REFRIGERATOR.
If Not Kept Clean It li a Menace to
the Health of the Family.
One of the most important articles of
household equipment is the unassum
ing and, it is to be feared, often neg
lected icebox.
There is no greater menace to the
health of the family than a refrigera
tor which dues not refrigerate or one
which it ia impossible to keep in a per
fect sanitary condition.
The least important thing about a re
frigerator is its outside appearance.
While the expensive porcelain and
enamel ones are j 'oasant to own, a
less expensive hardwood one with a
smooth, plain surface Is just as satis
factory and easy to clean.
Coolness, cleanliness and convenience
are the three "c's" that are absolutely
essential to the construction of a re
frigerator.
Always wash the Ice before putting
it into its compartment, otherwise the
straws and dust may clog up the drain
pipe.
The floors and shelves of the refrig
erator should be washed every day
with a solution of soda, and at least
once a week the refrigerator should be
thoroughly cleaned.
