“BARBAROUS AS I
SLAVE DRIVERS"
Methods of Exponents of German
“Kultur” in Carrying Out
Deportation Order.
ADD HYPOCRISY TO CRUELTY
Officers of “Modern Attlla” 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 i
forced labor and deportations, with Its j
horrors, was the same as In Belgium. |
In this article Is shown the real Iden
tity of German practice In both occu- i
pled regions. This can be done from j
the official documents and from a sum- i
mary by Ambassador Gerard. The 1
hnrrowirtg details may he gathered j
from the scores of depositions which
accompany the note addressed by the
French government to the governments
of tlie neutrnl powers July 55, 1916.
These are on file In tlie state depart
ment, and have also been translated,
along with the official documents. In
“The Deportation of Women and
Girls From Lille.” (New York, Doran.)
German Proclamation at Lille.
“The attitude of England makes the ■
provisioning of the population more |
and more difficult.
“To reduce the misery, the German j
authorities have recently asked for j
volunteers £g go and work In the !
country. This offer has not had the
effcce^s that was expected.
“In consequence o£ 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 any military work whatever.
By this measure they will be given
the opportunity of providing better
for their subsistence.
In case of necessity, provisions can
ho obtained through the German de
pots. Every person deported will he
allowed to take with him 30 kilo
gram^ of baggage (household utensils,
clotifes, etc.), which It will be well to
make ready at once.
“I therefore order that no one, un
ttl further orders, shall change his
place of residence. No one may ab
sent himself from his declared legal
residence from 0 p. in. to 6 a. in. (Ger
man time), unless he is In possession
of a permit In due form.
“Inasmuch as this Is an irrevocable
measure, it is In the Interest of the
population itself to remain calm and
obedient.

Notice Distributed in Lille.
“All 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
half’s time.
“An officer will decide definitely
wlmt persons will he taken to the
concentration camps. For this pur
pose all the inhabitants of the house
must assemble In front of it; in case
of had 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
S a. m. (German time).
“Bach 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. Packages must be sep
arately made 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.
“ nu^oiuiei.v necessary tnat each
person should, in his own interest, pro
vide himself with eating and drink

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.”

(Lille, April, 1916.)
Belgian Address to French President.
“To Monsieur Raymond Poincare,
President of the French Republic, I
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 Herman authorities have just car
ried out in the Invaded districts.
“We have collected some details on <
the subject from the lips of an honor
able and trustworthy person, who suc
ceeded in leaving Tourcolng about ten
days ago; we think it our duty to
bring those details to your notice by
reproducing textually the declarations
which have been made to us;
"“lliese deportations began towards
Blister. The Germans announced that
the Inhabitants of Routialx, 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 morning, a whole district of the
town was invested 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.)
" ‘The inhabitants so warned were to
hold themselves ready to depart an
hour and a half after the distribution
of the proclamation.'
“‘Each family, drawn up outside the
house, was examined by an officer, who
pointed out haphazard the persons who
were to go. No Words can express tlie
barbarity of this proceeding nor de
scribe tiie 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 1 lie infamous task
■—rejoined the group of those who were
going, and found themselves in the
middle of the street, surrounded by
other soldiers witli tixed bayonets.’
“‘Tears, of despair on the part of
parents and children so ruthlessly
separated did not soften the lieurts of
the brutal Germans. Sometimes, how
ever, a more kind-hearted officer yield
ed to too great despair and did not
choose all tlie persons whom he should
—by the terms of his instructions-—
have separated.’
Herded Like Cattle.
“ ‘Tlwiun .UId I r. . I
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 36
hours until a train was ready to re
move them.’
"'Tlie deportation began with the
villages of Kouey, Halluln, etc., then
Tourcoing and Koubuix. in tlie towns
tlie Germans proceeded by districts.’
M ‘In all about 30,000 persons are said
to have been carried off up to the pres
ent. This monstrous operation has
taken eight to ten days to accomplish.
It Is feared, unfortunately, that it may
begin again soon.
“‘Tlie reason given by tlie German
authorities is n humanitarian (?) one.
They have jrni forward tlie following
pretext^,} provisioning is going to
breui} down in tlie large towns in the
north and tlieir suburbs, whereas in
tlie Ardennes the feeding is easy and
cheap.’
“ ‘It is known from tlie young men
and girls, since sent hack to their
families for reasons of health, that in
thrf* department of tlie Ardennes the
victims are lodged in a terrible man
ner, in disgraceful promiscuity; they
are compelled to work in tlie Helds. It
is unnecessary to suy that the Inhabi
tants of our towns are not trained to
such work. The Germans pay them
1.50 rn. But there ure coinpluints of
Insufficient food.’
“Barbarity of Slave Drivers."
“‘They were very badly received in
the Ardennes. The Germans hud told
tlie Ardeunais that these were “volun
teers” tv ho were coming to work, and
tlie Ardenuttis proceeded to receive
them with many Insults, which only
ceased when the forcible deportation
of which they were the victims became
known.’
reeling run especially nign 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
of fourteen, schoolboys in knicker
bockers. young girls of fifteen to six
ten have been curried off, and the de
spairing protests of their parents failed
to touch the hearts of the Gerrnun offi
cers, or rather executioners.’
“One last detail: ‘The persons so
deported ure ullowed to write home
once a mouth; that is to say, even less
often than military prisoners.’
“Such are the declarations which we
have collected and which, without com
mentary, confirm in an even more
striking way the facts which we took
the liberty of laying before you.
“We do not wish here to enter into
the question of provisioning in the in
vaded districts: others, better quali
fied 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. . . . People
are hungry and the provisioning is in
adequate by at least a half; our popu
lation is suffering constant privations
and is growing noticeably weaker. The
death rate, too, lias 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 tlie government we venture to ud
ilress a new and pressing appeal to
your generous kindness and far-reach
ing intiuenee in the name of those who
ire suffering on behalf of the whole
country.”
