OF BELGIANS INTO
 GERMANY BEING INVESTIGATE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Depor- tation of Belgian civilians into Ger many for forced labor has reached such serious proportions that Ameri- can Charge Grew at Berlin has been directed by the state department to take the matter up personally with Chancellor von Bethmann-H Hollweg.
 The charge was requested to say that such deportations could not but have a most unfortunate effect on neu- tral opinion, particularly in the United States, which has the welfare of the Belgian civilian population very much at heart.
 The instructions, it was learned to- day, grew out of long report from Charge Grew in which he stated that he had discussed the situation inform ally and unoficially with Under Sec retary of Foreign Affairs Zimmerman. The latter admitted that a definite policy had been adopted to enforce the labor of Belgians in cases where they would not work voluntarily, on the ground that so many refused to work as to make the strain on public charity intolerable.
 The deportations are viewed here not only as violation of international law, but, in a degree, as a violation of Germany's. assurance to Ambassa- dor Gerard last June, which, though relating to the 10000 French women and girls deported from Lille, Rou- baix, and Tourcoing, are felt to be applicable to the Belgian situation. At that time, when Ambassador Ger ard had gone to general headquarters in France to discuss the attack on the Sussex with Emperor William, all the American relief workers were in northern France and promises were made that no further deportations would be made.
 Reports from Rome that the United States has joined or will join the Vati- can, Spain, or The Netherlands, in joint protest are declared untrue. In this question, as in the many others that have arisen during the war, the United States will act independently.
 The deportations are regarded by some officials here as an attempt to release German workers for the firing line by replacing them with Belgians. More than any other one thing this is expected to increase the bitterness of the allies toward Germany and their desire for peace through a crushing victory. Foreign Minister Beyens and Cardinal Mercier of Belgium have is sued public appeals to the neutral na- tions to effect a cessation of the deportations.
 Reports as to the execution of the deportations vary in detail but not in principle. Those who go to Ger many voluntarily are made to sign a general free-wil contract under which they are assured good food, salary,

If this is un- successful in securing signatures, the labor is compulsory at 30 pfeffings day without provision for families or permission to correspond.
 The deportations assumed their most systematic form when on October 10 the German governor-general was reported to have requested the presi- dents of the Comites Rationale de Secours, under penalty of imprison- ment, to furnish lists of all Belgians receiving aid. Many of the presidents refused and were at once put in jail. On the basis of the lists that were obtained, however, drafts were begun at once. No accurate information has been received as to how many have been deported or where. The work to which they have been sent is designated as Industrial"

Mohave County miner., 1916-11-18

HAVRE, Via Paris, Nov. 14.-The Belgian government is in possession of the text of a decree issued from German headquarters under date of October 8, subjecting to forced labor all Belgians able to work and who, for want of employment, or for any certain reasons, are public charges.
 The Belgian government fears that the decree is about to be applied to the whole occupied territory, as a census is being taken by the German military authorities of all the unem- ployed in Belgium. The German gov ernment's object, the Belgian govern ment declares in addition to running Belgian industries and forcing Belgian worknen to accept against their con science work offered by the Germans, is thus to release German wo-kmen for the purpose of supplying in the army losses incurred during the fight ing.
 If it were otherwise, the Belgian contends, if the Germans only designed to combat the idleness of Belgian worlmen, 1t could employ them on public works in the neighbor- hood of their homes and families, adding:
 "They have not done this, but, on the contrary, have sent out of the country or purposely deprived of em- ployment worlmen who had never ceased to work. The Germans have offered the attraction of high wages to those who consent voluntarily to and thus, by exciting hopes of bettering their lot, to do work directly connected with the war. The deported Belgians has thus the choice between starving and treason"
 The Belgian government by every means, it is understood, is placing the case before the neutral governments.
