EXCUSES FOB BELGIUM) BE
POBTATION DENOUNCED FALSE
Paris, Dec. 18 — A semi-offi
cial statement issued here replies
to statements from German source®,
in which the ouforced labor of
civilians of Belgium and, Northern
France is justified on the ground
that 'he army of occupation is re
quired, by article 43 of The Hague
convention to take necessary mea
sures to re-establish and maintain
ord^r and public life. Attention
is called to the fact that the
same article requires th^ occupy
ing army to provide nourishment fo
the population which, the| reply
says, has not been done by Germany,
in referring to the deportation
of 25,000 inhabitants of Lille, Rou
baix and Turcoing, forced to* work
in other regions by the military au*
thoritie?, the statement cites de
crees issued by General von Bisslng
constraining the population, under
severe penalties, to enforce labor
either iu Belgium or Germany. It
recalls the ivrotestations made by
France against the deportations
from Lille and denies that the Ger
man military authorities were un
der the necessity of resorting to
♦ his measure for the nourishment
of the population, bee-use they had'
mver occupied themselves with that
duty. :
On liio contrary, it is declared,
tftev have disinterested themselves
entlroly as to the fate of the popu
lation in the occupied regions, who
receive their sustenance from the
Allies through the philanthropic in
tervention of Spanish-American con*
mltteea.
"The statement says, further
more, that not only did Germany
neglect its duty in the matter Of
sustenance, but it has acually ob
structed the provisioning of the
population, occupied regions by re
quisitioning and sending to Germaij;
all tne raw materials and industrial
equlomeiit found in those regions.
The statement concludes that
neither the usages of civilized na
tiouB, the laws of humanity nor
[the workings of the public con
science are compatbile ■with this en
forced service; that it is a verit
able return to slavery—to that
slavery which the signatories of
the general act of the conference at
Berlin in 1885, among -whom was
Germany, took the engagement to
suppress, concerning the people of
Africa—and that Germany has re
vived it for the unfortunate in
habitants of Belgium and the nor
thern part of Franco.
