The oonquerors Of Belgium. not content
with the burning OF her cities. the shoot
Ing Of her citizens. and the imposing Of
crushing indemnities upon communities
already ruined. are now taking out Of
the land three hundred thousand men
and women who have been the bread
winners for their families. These per-
sons are deported to Germany for the
purpose Of filing in the factories the
place OF able bodied Germans who are
needed In the ranks.
The American Rights League holds
that no true American can have knowl-
edge Of this brutal treatment Of a con-
Quered people without keen feeling of
sympathy for the Belgians and Of indig-
nation against their oppressors.
We ask our fellow citizens, men,
women and children, to do now what
can be done. with practical aid and with
personal influence. to help the Bclgians.
Citizens should bring their influence to
bear upon the President. the members
OF the Cabinet. and the members Of Con-
gress. Protests can properly be sent to
some responsible German representative,
such as the German Ambassador.
In most communities the local news
paper can be utilized to give Information
to the people OF this act OF barbarism
and to secure opportunity for expression
OF public opinion. Unless the United
states Is willing TO abdicate its position
In the family OF nations. and to take
the ground that II will accept no re-
sponsibility for wrongs committed upon
helpless people throughout the world.
