GERMANS RUSHING
EXILE OF BELGIANS
Four Thousand Men Are Being Lined
Up Every Day in Antwerp to Be
Looked Over.

LONDON, Dec 6.-The latest reports |
received with regard to the Belgian de
portations by the Germans show that
the process is going steadily on in the
provinces, and the taking of unem-
ployed is expected to begin Immediate
~ in Brussels.
DepOrtations from Antwerp have be
come methodical, with 1000 men under
orders to present themselves every day
at the railroad station. Up to the mid
die of November slightly under 5000
men had been sent to Germany from
the city of Antwerp alone, not includ-
ing the country districts nearby.
When the men present themselves at
the station, the reports say, the Ger
mans make every effort to induce them
to sign contracts for work, among the
inducements being an offer of wages of
six marks daily. Those failing to sign
are told that they will receive only
three marks and be forced to work in
the camps. Married men who sign re-
celve an advance of forty marks and
single men twenty marks and are al
lowed to 60 home for two or three DAYS
before starting. They also receive
promise that they will be sent to Liege
or LongWy II they sign.
Despite strong pressure, most Of the
Belgians have refused to sign. Those
presenting certificates of employment
in general are released, but those with
out certificates are placed on trains and
sent to Germany More than 100 men
employed in one factory were sent to
Germany in one contingent. some of
the workers being more than fifty years
| of age.
In the provinces the men are placed
| in single file; those selected are told
to go to the right, and those released
are told to go to the left. Many were
! 50 stunned or bewiIdered that the.
| failed to obey the directions. but. az
| their cards contained no indication that
they were released, if they happened to
| turn to the right they went to Germany.
In general, the German soldiers
treated the men well, but the rulings in
most cases were made arbitrarily, al
though some were released as a result
of Intervention by burgomasters and
| employers, who gave assurance that the
men were regularly employed The Ger
mans apparently have attempted to
contine the deportees to young unmar-
ried or unemployed men, but toward
the end Of the line, when there was
some indication that the total required
in a certain district would not be
reached, factory workers were taken
When the employers protested, they
were told that such action would have
been unnecessary if the burgomasters
had turned in lists of unemployed
Seemingly the Germans are making
efforts to obtain skilled labor. II
virtually every case in which the re
lief organization has been compelled tt
intervene to obtain the release of it
workers, it has developed that they
were skilled. Railroad workers are par
ticularly liable to be ordered deported

FEWER DEER KILLED.
Total in Vermont, with Two DAYS
Missing, 1,248 This Season.

LYNDONVILLE, Dec. 6. - The
number of bucks taken in Vermont dur
ing the 1916 open season, which ended
yesterday afternoon at clock, will
exceed ,24s which was the total which
had been reported to Commissioner Tit
comb up to Saturday evening and to
which must be added the kill of the last
two days of the season. The summary
by counties with only these two days
missing Is:
Addison, 50; Bennington, 1872; Gale
donna, So Chittenden, 80; Essex, 149;
Franklin, p; Grand Isle, none; La
noble, IS; Orange, 66; Orange, 50;
Rutland, Us; Washington, 1879; Wind
ham, Ia; Windsor, 1873.
The total number killed during the
corresponding period last year was
$3.50, but it will be remembered that
last year both bucks and does were
taken lawfully, and owing to the de-
feet IN the statute, many fawns were
also taken.
Some hunters are of the opinion that
the liberal number taken last year has
resulted IN scarcity of the animals
this fall.
The total number reported killed dur
ing the open season of 1915 was 6,O40
This number is believed to be far in
excess of the normal increase of the
herd.

BACKING BANKERS PROTESTS.
Allies Ministers Taking Hand in Chi
cago Loan to China.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The Brit
ish, French and Japanese ministers at
Pekin, it has become known, are sup
porting the bankers of their countries
in protests to China against the So ,000,-
900 loan arranged by that govern
ment with a Chicago bank. Members
of the former quintuple group which
secured virtual monopoly of Chinese
loans for administrative purposes
through the loan agreement of April,
1913, complained recently in Pekin
against the new American loan on the
ground that it violated that agreement.
1t has been supposed that the bank
ers were acting on their initiative and
the information that they We're being
supported by their governments,
caused surprise both at the state de-
partment and at the Chinese legation.
1t IS explained, however, that virtually
all loans or financial arrangements with
China are liable to some sort of
complaint by other interested parties
and that IN the present instance every
care was taken not to violate previous
agreements. Section II of the agree
ment, which is alleged to have been
violated, refers, it is pointed out, to
loans based on the salt tax, while the
present loan was secured by the to-
bacco and wine taxes, and to loans for
administrative purposes, while the pres
ent loan is for industrial purposes.
Therefore, it is not felt here that there
IS any good basis for protest.
