"BARBAROUS AS
SLAVE DRIVERS"
Methods of Exponents of German
"Kultur" in Carrying Oift
Deportation Order.
ADD HYPOCRISY TO CRUELTY
Officers of "Modern Attila" Gave At
titude of England as Excuse for
Repeating in France Atroci
ties Practiced in Belgium.
The course of the German armies
in France was marked with the same
brutalities that characterized the oc
cupation of Belgium. Ample proof
has been produced that the entire
proceedings were a deliberate part
of the calculated system of "fright
fulness."
In France the German system of
forced lubor and deportations, with Its
horrors, was the same as In Belgium.
In this article Is shown the real Iden
tity of German practice In both occu
pied regions. This can be done from
the oftleial documents and from a sum
mary by Ambassador Gerard. The
harrowing details may be gathered
from the scores of depositions which
accompany the note addressed by the
French government to the governments
of the neutral powers July 25, 1916.
These are on tile in the state depart
ment. and have also been translated,
along with the official documents. In
"The Deportation of Women and
Girls From I.llle," (New York. Poran.)
German Proclamation at Lille.
"The attitude of England makes the
provisioning of the population more
and inure difficult.
"To reduce the misery, the German
authorities have recently asked for
volunteers to ri> and work In the
country. This ofTer has not had the
success that was expected.
"In consequence of this the inhab
itants will he deported by order and
removed into the country. Persons
deported will be sent to the interior
of the occupied territory in France, far
behind the front, where they will be
employed In agricultural labor, and
not on nnv military work whatever.
By this measure they will be given
the opportunity of providing better
for their subsistence.
"In case of necessity, provisions can
he obtained through the German de
pots. Every person deported will be
allowed to take with him 30 kilo
grams of baggage (household utensils,
clothes, etc.). which it will be well to
make ready at once.
"I therefore order that no one. un
til further orders, shall change his
place of residence. Xo one may ab
sent himself from his declared legal
residence from 9 p. m. to 6 a. ra. (Ger
man time), unless he is in possession
of a permit in due form.
"Inasmuch us this is an Irrevocable
measure. It Is In the interest of the
population itself to remain calm and
obedient.
"COMMANDANT.
-Lille. April. 1916."
Notice Distributed in Lille.
"Alt the Inhabitants of the houses,
with the exception of children under
fourteen and their mothers, and also
of old people, must prepare themselves
for transportation In an hour and a
hairs time.
"An officer will decide definitely
what persons will lie tal;en to the
concentration camps. For this pur
pose nil the Inhabitants of the house
must assemble in front of It; in case
of bad weather they may remain In
the passage. The door of the house
must remain open. All protests will
be useless. No Inmate of the house,
even those who are not to be trans
ported. may leave the house before
8 a. m. (Oermnn time).
"Each person will be permitted to
take 30 kilograms of baggage; if any
one's baggage exceeds that weight, It
will all be rejected, without further
consideration. I'acl:ages must be sep
arately mnde up for each person and
must bear an address legibly written
and firmly affixed. This address must
contain the surname and the Christian
name and the number of the identity
card.
"It Is absolutely nectssary that each
person should, In his own interest, pro
vide himself with eating and drink
ing utensils, as well as with a woolen
blanket, good shoes, and body linen.
Everyone must carry his identity card
on his person. Anyone attempting to
evade transportation will be punished
without mercy."
"ETAPPEN-KOMMANDANTUR.
(Lille, April, 1910.)
Belgian Address to French President.
"To Monsieur Raymond Poincare,
President of the French Republic,
Paris.
"Sir: We have the honor to ex
press again our most sincere grati
tude to you for your most kind recep
tion, a few days ago, of the deputa
tion which went with feelings of legit
imate emotion to Inform you of the
deportation of lads and girls, which
the German authorities have Just car
ried out In the Invaded districts.
"We have collected some details on
the subject from the Hps of an honor
able and trustworthy person, who suc
ceeded in leaving Tourcoing about ten
days ago; we think it our duty to
bring these details to your notice by
reproducing textually the declarations
which have been made to us:
[ 44 These deportations began towards
Bastcf. The Germans announced that
the Inhabitants of Itoubalx, Tourcolng,
Lille, etc., were going to be transport
ed Into French districts where their
provisioning would be easier.'
" 'At night, at about two o'clock In
the iuornlng, a whole district of the
town was'lnvested by the troops of oc
cupation. To each house was distrib
uted a printed notice, of which we give
herein an exact reproduction, preserv
ing the style and spelling.' (See docu
ment, above.)
M The inhabitants so warned were to
hold themselves ready to depart an
hour and a half after the distribution
of the proclamation.'
'"Each fumlly, drawn up outside the
house, was examined by an officer, who
pointed out Haphazard the persons who
were to go. No words can express the
barbarity of this proceeding nor de
scribe the heartrending scenes which
occurred; young men and girls took
hasty farewell of their parents—a fare
well hurried by the German soldiers
who were executing the Infamous task
—rejoined the group of those who were
going, and found themselves in the
middle of the street, surrounded by
other soldiers with fixed bayonets.'
" Tears of despair on the part of
parents and children so ruthlessly I
separated did not soften the hearts of
the brutal Germans. Sometimes, how
ever, u more kind-hearted officer yield
ed to too K'-eut despair and did not
choose all the persons whom he should
—by the terms of hi* instructions—
have separated.'
Herdsd Like Cattle.
" 'These girls and lads were taken
in street cars to factories, where they
were numbered and labeled like cattle
and grouped to form convoys. In these
factories, they remained 12, 24 or 86
hours until a train was ready to re
move them.'
" The deportation begau with the
vllluges of Koucy, Halluln, etc., then
Tourcoing and Roubalx. In the towns
the Germans proceeded by districts.'
" 'In all about 30.000 persons are said
to have been carried off up to the pres
eut. This monstrous operation has
taken eight to ten days to accomplish.
It Is feared, unfortunately, that It may
begin ugnln soon.
" "I'Iip rensnn t?ivt>n bv the German
authorities is h huuiunitarian (J) one.
They have put forward the following
pretexts: provisioning is going to
break down in the large towns In the
north and their suburbs, whereas In
the Ardennes the feeding is easy and
cheap.'
" 'It is known from the young tnen
and girls, since sent hack to their
families for reasons of health, that in
the department of the Ardennes the
victims are lodged In a terrible man
ner, In disgraceful promiscuity; they
are compelled to work in the fields. It
is unnecessary to say that the Inhabi
tants of our towns are not trained to
such work. The Germans pay them
1.50 m. Hut there are complaints of
Insufficient food.'
"Barbarity of Slavs Driver*."
"'They were very badly received In
the Ardennes. The Germans had told
the Ardenuals that these were "volun
teers" who were coming to work, and
the Ardennals proceeded to receive
them with many insults, which only
ceased when the forcible deportation
of which they were the victims became
known.'
" 'Keeling 'Van especially high In our
towns. Never has so Iniquitous a
measure been carried out. The Ger
mans have shown all the barbarity of
slave drivers.'
" 'The families so scattered are in
despair and the morale of the whole
population Is gravely affected. Boys J
of fourteen, schoolboys In knicker- |
bockers, young girls of fifteen to six- i
ten have been curried off, and the de
spairing protests of their parents failed
to touch the hearts of the German offi
cers, or rather executioners."
"One last deluil: 'The persons so I
deported are allowed to write home .
once a month; that Is to say, even less
often than military prisoners.'
"Such are th'.^Hi'yUlnns which we 1

have colleetetrnnd T.Hieh, Vithout co'm
raentary, confirm In an even more
striking way the facts which we took
the liberty of laying before yon.
"We do not wish here to enter into
the question of provisioning in the in
vaded districts; others, better quali
8ed than ourselves, give you, as we
know, frequent information. It is
enough for us to describe In a few
words the situation from this aspect:
Entire Population in Misery.
"The provisioning is very difficult:
food, apart from that supplied by the
Spanish-American committee, Is very
Scarce and terribly dear. . . . l'eople
are hungry anil the provisioning is in
adequate by at least a lmlf; our popu
lation Is suffering constant privations
and Is growing noticeably weaker. The
death rate, too. has increased consid
erably.
"Sometimes inhabitants of the in
vaded territories speak with a note of
discouragement, crying apparently:
'We are forsaken by everyone.' We,
on the other hand, are hopeful, Mon
sieur le President, that the energetic
Intervention on the part of neutrals,
which the French government is sure
to evoke, will soon bring to an end
these measures which rouse the wrath
of all to whom humanity is not an emp
ty word. . . .
"With all confidence in the sympathy
of the government we venture to ad
dress a new and pressing appeal to
your generous kindness and far-reach
ing influence in the name of those who
are suffering on behalf of the whole
country."

tied organizations by Toulemonde,
