Until the present war the whole civ ilized world has boasted of Its advance In humanity. This advance has been i marked In many fields, and in none : had greater progress been made than in the protection to he given to the private citizen in an invaded country. ti(ms f „ r the Government of Armies As far back as 1863, in the "Instruc of the United States in the Field," the United States declared : "23. Private ellizens are no longer murdered, enslaved, or carried off to distant parts, and the inoffensive in dividual is as little disturbed in his relations as the commander private ,,f the hostile troops can afford to grant in the overruling demands of a vigorous war. "24. The almost universal rule In remote times was, and continues to be with barbarous armies, that the pri vate individual of the hostile country is destined to suffer every privation of liberty and protection, and every disruption of family ties. Protection was, and still is with uncivilized peo ple, the exception." Reversion to Barbarism. midst of our Civil war one of the | world's fiercest conflicts. A half-cen-1 tury later, after more than 50 years of progress, the Gorman government These declarations were made in the j l* as cnuo hack to the methods used b y "barbarous armies" and "unciv ilized people." It has deliberately adopted the policy of deporting men and women, boys and girls, and of forcing them to work for their cap tors ; It has even compelled them to make arms and munitions for use against their allies and their own flesh and blood. No other act of the German govern ment has aroused such horror and de testation throughout the civilized world. Thousands of helpless men and women, boys and girls, have been enslaved. Families have been broken up. Girls have been carried off to work—or worse—in a strange land, and their relatives have not known .... whl>re ttu '- v lmve been tnken < or what the,r luis boen ' This system of forced labor and de portation embraced the whole of Bel gium, Poland and the occupied lands of France. Whitlock's Story of Horrors. In less moving phrases, hut iu dead ly corroboration, the continuation of the report of Minister Whitlock says: "The rage, the terror, and despair excited by this measure all over Bel gium were beyond anything we had witnessed since the day the Germans poured Into Brussels. The delegates of the commission for relief In Bel gium, returning to Brussels, told the most distressing stories of the scenes of cruelty and sorrow attending the seizures. And dally, hourly almost, since that time appalling stories have been related by Belgians coming to the legation. It is Impossible for ns to verify them, first because it is nec essary for us to exercise all possible tact iu dealing with the subject at all, and secondly because there is no means of communication between the Occupatlons-Gebiet and the Etuppen Gebiet. Transportation every w here In Belgium Is difficult, the vicinal railways scarcely operating any more because of the lack of oil, while all the horses have been taken, pie who are forced to go from village to another must do so on foot or In vans drawn by the few miser able horses that are left. The wagons of the breweries, the one institution that the Germans have scrupulously respected, are hauled by oxen. Tlie peo ■ -iii One of Foulest Deeds in History, "The well-known tendency of sensa tional reports to exaggerate thern selves, especially in time of war, and in a situation like that existing here, with no newspapers to serve as a daily clearing house for all the rumors that are as avidly believed as they are eagerly repeated, should of course be considered: but even if a modicum of all that Is told Is true there still mains enough to stamp his deeds us one of the foulest that history records, ports from all over Belgium that tend to bear out the stories one constantly hears of brutality and cruelty. A her of men sent back to Mods said to be in n dying condition, many of them tubercular.
