Washington. April 2t.--An official
report from Brand Whitlock. Ameri-
can minister to Belgium, made public
tonight by the secretary of state, de-
scribes the cruelties inflicted by the
Germans upon inhabitants or the little
overrun kingdom, who were deported
during the bitter weather of last win
ter. The report was written In jan
uary. but until now no part of 10 has
been made public.
Mr. Whitlock says that through fear
that the relief work OF the Comite
Nationals the Belgian organization
which collaborates with the commits
sion for relief in Belgium. might be
interfered with. and thus place a
greater burden on Prussian shoulders.
that Germany did not deport thou
sands more.
Stories Substantiated.
The ambassador reported that he
was continuously in receipt OF reports
from all over Belgium that tend to
substantiate the stories he was con-
stantly hearing of brutality and
cruelty. A number of men deported
from Mons. when sent back. were in
dying condition. many of them
tubercular. Friends Of men returned
to Malines and Antwerp declared that
they had been victims of neglect and
cruelty. having suffered from cold. ex-
posture and hunger
Mr.. Whitlock believes that the Ger
mans have dealt a death blow to any
prospects that they may have had Of
being tolerated by the people OF Fian-
ders. The devastation which followed
the first rush Of invasion was terrible.
but the nation which dragged hus-
band, father, son or brother away
from shattered homes has intensified
the hatred OF the Belgians to such an
extent that they would never consent
to live under German domination.
Text OF Report.
Mr.. Thitlock's report, in part. fol-
lows:
I'm order to understand fully. 1t is
necessary to go back to autumn of
1914. At the time we were organic
ing the ration work. the Comite Ma
tionale proposed an arrangement by
which the Belgian government should
pay to its own employees left in Bel
GUM and other unemployed men be-
sides the wages they had been aceus-
toned to receive. The Belgians wish
ed to do this both for humanitarian
and patriotic purposs---they wished to
provide the unemployed with the
means OF livelihood and at the same
time to prevent their working for the
Germans.
The policy was adopted and has
been continued as the practice, and
on the rolls-of the Conaite Rationale
have been borne the names Of hun
