and scarcely able to turn. They were
left there twenty-four hours.
Then they were led to a factory in
the neighborhood where they were
asked if they would go to work. Upon
their refusal, they were taken to a
field under military escort, divested
by force of their overcoats, shoes,
scarfs, and hats or caps, and exposed
IN snowstorm an entire day and an
entire night, with nothing to eat or
drink and under the absolute prohibi-

Some of them lost consciousness after

A number Of witnesses call atten-

of deported men have been the OBJ
jcct of simulated execution, some
times by firing squad, sometimes
with machine guns, in order to over
come their resistance and impress
their comrades.
There is also another means of con-
straint used upon the deported in the
form of punishment camps, where the
regime is still more severe than in
the other interned camps and where
the deported are forced to work in
the marshes often in most excessively
cold weather, dressed In nothing but
trousers, shirt, and wooden shoes,
without food during an entire day.

Corporal Punishment, Such as Blows

Torture of the post" punishment

firing squad or exposure to storms
without being properly clothed, are
some of the methods systematically
used by the Germans to compel de-
ported Belgian civilians to labor for
the German army, according to evil
dence which has been received by the
Belgium Government. Another method
is to apply corporal Punishment often
with the butt Of rifle vr to force the
Belgians who refuse to work for Ger
many to run for two hours or less
without stopping, menaced all the
time with a bayonet.
According to the government an
nouncement this evidence accords in
all details and shows tnat departed
Belgian civilians are systematically
subjected to mistreatmcnt in order to
compel them to work. Under this
treatment many of the dcportees sue

SO weakened that they become in
capable of physical effort.
The torture of the post' is de-
scribed as one of the principal meas

Stoutly fettered to posts, the men are
exposed to heat, or cold, according to
the season, for days together during
which the food rations are reduced
until they reach the proportions of

The punishment in the tank" is a
