WHITLOCIfS STORY
OF DEPORTATIONS
Report of German Disregard of
Human Rights on File in
State Department.
OVERWHELMED WITH HORROR
Minister to Belgium Declared It Wn
Difficult to Write Calmly ano Justly
In View of the Huns' Gratu
itous Cruelty.
Facts concerning the deportation
of Belgians and the forced labor ex
torted by the "Hun" military lead•
erg, which excited the indignation of
the civilized world, have been thus
officially set forth:
The plan of setting forth the essen
tial facts of the deportations and
forced labor of Belgians Is set forth
by the committee on public Informa
tion as follows: the documents, that
Is to say, a small fraction of those
which could be cltcd. tell the story, and
only such comments are added as are
needed to enable the reader to easily
grasp the connection of events.
"The deportations . . . were the
most vivid, shocking, convincing, single
happening In all our enforced observa
tion and experience of German dis
regard of human suffering and human
rights In Belgium."—Vernon Kellogg
In Atlantic Monthly, October, 1917.
A summary of the whole situation,
down to January, 1917, can be ob
tained by rending continuously the re
port of Minister Whltlock, taken from
the tiles of the state department. This
tells of the brutality of the deporta
tions.
"Legation of the United States of
America, Brussels, Jan. 10. 1917.
"The Honorable, the Secretary of
State, Washington.
"Sir: I have had It in mind, and I
might say, on my conscience, since
the Germans began to deport Belgian
workmen early in November, to pre
pare for the department a detailed
report or this latest instance of bru
tality. but there have been so many
obstacles In the way of obtaining evi
dence on which a calm and judicious
opiulon could be based, and one Is
so overwhelmed with tile horror of the
thing Itself, that It has been, and even
now Is. difficult to write calmly and
Justly about It. I have had to content
myself with fragments of dispatches
I have from time to time sent to the
department and with doing what I
could, little as that can be. to allevi
ate the distress that this gratuitous
cruelty has caused the population of
this unhappy land.
Whitlock Opposed Belgian Idea.
"In order to understand fully the
situation, it Is necessary to go back to
the autumn of 1014. At the time we
were organizing the relief work, the
Cornlte National—the Belgian relief or
ganization that collaborates with the
commission for relief in Belgium—
proposed an arrangement by which
the Belgian government should pay
to Its own employees left In Belgium,
and other unemployed men besides,
the wages they had been accustomed
to receive. The Belgians wished to
do this both for humanitarian and pa
triotic purposes; they wished to pro
vide the unemployed with the means
of livelihood, and, at the same time,
to prevent their working for the Ger
mans. I refused to be connected in
any way with this plan, and told the
Belgian committee that It had many |
possibilities of danger; that not only i
would It place a premium on Idleness,
but that It would ultimately exasper
ate the Germans. However, the policy
wus adopted, and has been continued
In practice, and on the rolls of the
Comlte National have been borue the
names of hundreds of thousands—
some 700.D00, I believe—of idle men
receiving this dole, distributed through
the communes.
"The presence of these unemployed,
however, was a constant temptation
to German cupidity. Many times they
sought to obtain the lists of the cho
meurs. but were always foiled by the
claim that under the guaranties cov
ering the relief work, the records of
the Comlte National and its various
suborganizatlons were Immune. Bath
er than risk any interruption of the
ravltalllement, for which, while loath
to own any obligation to America, the
Germans have always been grateful,
since It has had the effect of keeping
the population calm, trie atunoriues
never pressed the point, other than
with the burgomasters of the com
munes. Finally, however, the mili
tary party, always brutal, and with nn
astounding Ignorance of public opin
ion and of moral sentiment, deter
mined to put these idle men to work.
"General von Blssiug and the civil
portion of his eutouruge had always
been and even now are opposed to this
policy, and I think have sincerely done
what they could, first, to prevent Its
adoption, and secondly, to lighten the
rigors of Its application."
German Promises Worthless.
In the early days of the German ad
vance into Belgium, the people had
learned to fear the worst. This was
particularly true in Antwerp. In or
der to alleviate their fears and to ob
tain guaranties which might hasten
the restoration of settled conditions,
Cardinal Mercier secured from the
German government at Antwerp prom
ises, and in a circular letter dated Oc
tober 16th, 1914, asked the clergj of J
the province of Antwerp to commnni
;nte them to the people:
"The governor of Antwerp, Baron
von Holnlngen, General von Huene,
has authorized ine to Inform you In his
name and to communicate by your
obliging Intermediary to our popula
tions, the three following declara
tions :
"(1) The young men need not fear
being taken to Germany, either to be
enrolled Into the army or to be em
ployed at forced labors.
"(2) If Individual Infractions of po
lice regulations are committed, the
authorities will Institute a search for
the responsible authors and will pun
ish them, without placing the respon
sibility on the entire population.
"(3) The German and Belgian au
thorities will neglect nothing to see
that food Is assured to the popula
tion."
These promises were not kept, as
Cardinal Merrier and his colleagues
show by abundant evidence In the "Ap
peal to Truth."
"On March 23d. 1915, at the arsenal
at Luttre the German authorities post
ed a notice demanding return to work
On April 21st, 200 workmen were call
ed for. On April 27th soldiers went
to fetch the workmen from their
homes and take them to the arsenal.
In the absence of a workman, a mem
ber of the family was arrested.
Workmen Imprisoned on Train*.
"However, the men maintained their
refusal to work, 'because they were
unwilling to co-operate In acts of war
against their country.'
"On May 4th, 24 workmen detained
In prison at Nlvelles were tried at
Mons by a court-martial, 'on the charge
of being members of a secret society,
having for Its aim to thwart the carry
ing out of German military measures.'
They were condemned to Imprison
ment.
"On May 8th, 1915, 48 workmen
were shut up in a freight car and
tnken to Germany.
"On May 14th, 45 men were deport
ed to Germany.
"On May 18th a fresh proclamation
announced that the prisoners would
receive only dry bread and water, and
hot food only every four days. On
May lil'd three cars with 104 work
men were sent toward Charlcro!."
"A similar course was adopted at
Mallnes, where by various methods
<>f Intimidation, the German authori
ties attempted to force the workers at
the arsenal to work on material for
the railways, as If it were not plain
that this material would become war
material sooner or later.
Stopped All Traffic In Mallnes.
"On May 30th, 1915, the governor
general announced that he 'would be
obliged to puntsh the town of Mallnes
and Its suburbs by stopping all com
mercial traffic if by 10 a. m. on
Wednesday, June 2d. 500 workmen
hud not presented themselves for work
at the arsenal.
"On Wednesday, Tune 2d, not a
single man appeared. Accordingly, a
complete stoppage took place of every
vehicle within a radius of several kilo
meters of the town.
"Several workmen were taken by
force and kept two or three days at
the arsenal.
"The commune of Sweveghiu (west
ern Flanders) was punished In June,
1915. because the 350 workmen at the
private factory of M. Bekaert refused
to make barbed wire for the German
army.
"The following notice was placard
ed at Menln In July-August. 1915:
'By order: From today the town will
no longer afford aid of any descrip
tion—Including assistance to their
families, wives, and children—to nn.v
operatives except those who work
regularly at military work, and other
tasks assigned to them. All other op
eratives and their families can hence
forward not be helped In any fashion.'
Punished for Refusal to Work.
"Similar measures were taken In
October, 1915, at Harlebekelez-Court
ral, Blsseghem. Lokeren, and Mons.

In the service of the Gorronn army. M.
Lenoir was sentenced to five years' Im
prisonment, the tlve directors to a

and the 81 workmen to eight weeks.
"The general government had re
course also to indirect methods of
compulsion. It seized the Belgian
Red Cross, confiscated its property,
and changed Its purpose arbitrarily.
It attempted to make Itself master of
the public charities, and to control the
national aid and food committee.
"If we were to cite In extenso tlia
decree of the governor general of Aug
ust 4th. 1U15, concerning measures in
tended to assure the carrying out of
works of public usefulness, and that

Fines Imposed Without Reason.
The German authorities were not
satisfied with one impoverishing levy.
In November, 1915, one month before
the expiration of the twelve-month
period fixed for the levy, they decreed
'hat the contribution of 40,000,000
francs a month should be paid for an
indefinite period. In November, 1910.
they increased the levy to 50,000,(MX)
francs a month. In addition, faithful

oommund. the German authorities

rowns and villages for acts committed
:n their neighborhood, although they
had no proof that these a *ts had been
committed by any inhabitant of the
city or village thus fined.

Form of the Earth.
Earthquakes are due not to strains
produced by the attraction of bodies
outside the earth, but to stresses set
up within the earth itself by readjust
ments of internal pressure arising
from various sources, such as volcanic
eruptions and the shrinking of the
crust due to the secular cooling of the
interior. The earth is not a perfect
sphere, and it is not an absolutely reg
ular geometrical figure of any kind.
The form of its surface is continually
changing, owing to the action of water
and atmospheric causes which wear
down the elevated parts and carry the
debris into the oceans. Thus the pres
sures to'which the rocks beneath are
subjected are slowly varying.
