FEAR OF DEPORTATION

Special Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS, February 6.-Information has
been received here by Belgian refugees
from friends who have succeeded in
sending news of themselves through
Holland. They are all known and re-
sponsible persons. 1t was the terror
and destruction at Louvain in August,
1914, that first shocked the whole world
to a sense of the war of violence which
was beginning. This makes it all the
more important to know what is hap
pening in Louvain after two years and
a half of occupation by the invader.
Letters giving the information were all
written in December last or in January
of this year.
Louvain, full of university establish
ments and factories, was, before the
