inhabitants in the evacuated districts
between ArraS and Soissons has been
accomplished without hardships to
the civilians. The statement adds:
THE transport of their belong
ings even delayed the transport of
important war material. For this
treason it was impossible in many
cases to remove felled fruit trees, the
wood of which represents imported
material for our war industry. The
trees were cut down in order that
their leaves in spring and summer
might not afford cover to marching
columns against our airmen.
THE male and female population
between the ages of l . and 60 were
deported. Mothers with children
under 10 remained with their chill
dren. The entire population of st.
Quentin was transported TO the rear.
AS far as possible they were allow
ed to choose their own places of
abode. Objects of value were taken
