tional Sunday school work to the

SAW BELGIANS

Eyewitness Tells of ME-
velles Raid and the Use
Of Force
MEN PACKED
IN ONE TRAIN
Deported Without Chance to
Get Their Clothes-No
Warning Given

London, Dec. lS.-Through Niscount
Davignon, son of the late Belgian min
lister of foreign affairs, The sun corre-
epondent has obtained the following eye
witness story of the slave raid. The
story was given out on the authority oil
the Belgian government:
"The deportation of men from the Me
yelles district, southwest of Brussels,
was fixed by the German officials Tor
O. m. The whole male population above
IL years of age was ordered to gather in
the Place st. Paul and at S:l5 the in
spection by the German officials began,
The men of over 55 years we're dismissed
after the call of their names, but all
men between Is and 50 were surrounded
by soldiers and were forced to march on,
together with hundred railway officials,
including members of the administrative
staff.
an ranks of three they went, followed
by weeping women and children. Sol
diers lined the roads and on every door
step were women and children, who, filled
with anguish and despair, looked dazedly
at the passing slaves. AT the Deleroix
factory surgeons examined the men and
the unfit were sent back to their homes.
No discrimination was made between the
employed and the unemployed. Men oil
industry, traders, masters of workshops,
farmers, university students and land
lords were taken away together.
''Of all the victims of the raid the
most downcast was NJ. Colbert, painter,
the father of ii children, whom the Ger
mans deported with his eldest two sons.
When the examination was finished eight
men were pushed into each train conf
partment and were locked in. There
was rush of women, many of whom
succeeded in getting near the factory,
but the soldiers brutally dispersed them.
''Many of the men who had been called
up never imagined that they would be
deported at once. They had come with
out food or suitable clothing and sat in
the train, shivering from the cold. This
moved their more fortunate fellow citi-
zens who had been exempted. Those who
had taken to the factory handbags and
warm clothes rushed to the train and
handed everything in their possession to
the deportees.
Meanwhile more cars were coming up
and group after group disappeared, to be
locked in the compartments Immediately.
At noon the German officers left for
luncheon, and many old men who were
vet to be examined were left in the
streets for three hours. Meanwhile a
torrential rain was falling.
"By $3.50 o'clock the train was full. 1t
consisted of 80 carriages, into which had
been crowded thousand men from Me
yelles itself"

MUCH WATER POWER.
Is Developed in the National Forest Pre-
serves.

In the fiscal year 1915, says Henry ).
Graves, chief of the forest service, in
his annual report, 20 new water pow
er projects which utilize national for
est land began operation. This was an
increase of 1872 per cent in the total
number. In the fiscal year 1915 the num-
Der of new projects which began opera.
ton was H. Forty-two per cent OF the
total developed water power of the Unit
ed States utilize national forest land,
the forest service figures show.
Development of relatively small pro-
jects is particularly in evidence, accord
ing to Mr.. Graves in the Rocky noun
tain states. California leads in the
amount of power under permit and in
operation. The number of transmission
line permits in effect was increased by
Is during the year. The 40 applications
for power project permits received in
1916 included eight from Alaska no
table evidence, according to the report,
of increased local interest in power de-
ve.opment on national forest lands there.
Concerning the report prepared by the
forest service in response to a resolu-
ton of the Senate calling upon the sec
rotary of agriculture for information re-
parding the ownership and control of
water power sites and any facts bearing
on the question as to the existence OF
monopoly in the ownership and control
of hydroelectric power in the United
States, Mr.. Graves says: This report
presented in far greater detail than has
ever been attempted before an exhaus-
tive analysis of the general power situa-
ton. 1t showed marked concentration
of definite and complete control OF
large percentage of developed water pow
err by very few companies. Data pre-
