Life Unbearable in Belgium
Says Workman Who Escaped I
——— i i
The following statement has been
made by a Belgian, workman, who
hag made his way across the front
ier from Belgium. He lived near
the Dutch frontier and the seacoast.
Names are not piven as he has left
relatives behind:
"I had to leave the email sea
side place, where I had lived since
my childhood, because life became
unbearable. It was slavery and,
though. I can not tell you the means
of my escape you may imagine, that
a man becomes desperate under
such circumstance* and prefers tak
ing any risks than serve hip coun
try's enemies.
"The Germans announced, at the
beginning of January last, that
every man or woman from 15 to
60 would be compelled to work. They
did not take everybody at once,
but once you had begun to work
for them, you were never left free
again. They baman with the unmar
ried men, then they took the mar
ried ones. They had not yet tak
en the women in my viilege when I
left, but they nad already done so
iu other places close by. In order to
avoid people escaping to another
part of the country, they obliged
us all to go to the Kommandantur,
where our identity cards and pass
ports were confiscated. As you can
not walk a mile ia the army zone
without showing your papers we
were practically prisoners.
"Every week an officer* with two
soldiers went from house to house
requisitioning more laborers. They
had taken 300 already when 1
left; I have no doubt that the
whole village is forced to work by
now.
The work was done either on the
spot, where we had to repair i-nd
clean buildings, cut wood, etc.,
along the Dutch frontier, where we
had to build trenches and concrete
works, or behind the German lines
in the region of Westende and, Lom
baertzijde, where we were mainly
employed in building roads and rail
way lines. This was by far the
worst place since we were frequent
ly exposed to sneil fire and to
gas attacks. Having no masks we
were obliged to take shelter when,
a bell rung to warn us. When I
left, there had not yet been any
casualties among ttte men of my
village but I know for certain that
at leapt five farm laborers from a !
neighboring village, who had been1
taken to work behind the lines
with their horses, were killed or
died from their wounds. We slept
in badly built wooden huts. Many
of us had to be sent back with rheu
matism; others developed1 bronchit
is and pneumonia.
"We were paid 1 mark per day,
but as the food was very scarce we
had practically to spend our wages
to appease our hunger, so that,
when we came back home for one
day every three weeks, we had prac
tically nothing Jeft to bring back
with us. Those who worked clos
er to their homes were paid 28
pfennig per hour but received no
food. They were allowed to go
hack every mignt.
"It was no use trying to protest.
It only meant more trouble and
misery, prison ai»d blows. One of
my friends who struggled to escape
was nearly killed by a bayonet
thrust.
"Besides, the Germans are only
too glad if you resist. They have
made a rule to send to Germany an
man or woman who gets more than
three months' "Imprisonment. And
none of those who have been deport
ed have come back after their time
Six months ago one of my neigh
bors, a widow, who had to protect
her daughter against a German of
ficer, Teceived four months for
having said, on this occasion, that
all Germans were pigs. She was
sent to Germany and we have heard
since that she is obliged to work
in a kommando and has no hope of
returning before the end of the
war. This is only a case among
hundreds. The German tribunals
have provided many Belgian work-1
,ers for the Fatherland.
