DEPORTED BELGIANS
STARVED BY TEUTONS
Hunger and Imprisonment Fol.
low When Workers Object
to Tasks in German
Mines.

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
Havre, France, Nov. 26.-The Bel
gian government mas received infor-
nation to the effect that deported
Belgians working in the Thyssen
works at Mulheim on Ruhr declared
that as the Germans had violated their
promise to send them back home at
the end of four months, they would
prefer to die rather than to continue.
The Germans imposed fine of 80
marks each and Imprisonment for ten
days upon the men.
One hundred and eighty Belgians
in another German factory, refusing
to continue work after four months,
were deprived of food and thirteen of
them were imprisoned at Munster.
The Riebecksche works, employing
Belgian civilians in their mines, de-
prived the men of all nourishment for
five days in order to force them to
work. The directors of this concern
justified their action, saying that the
privation was not absolute, but was
necessary in order to overcome the
passive resistance of the workmen.
Transport Grenades.
Belgian civilians working at the
munition factory at Crosse Wuster-
urtz and at Westfalischewerke were
obliged to transport hand grenades
after having vainly protested against
being put to such work.
The Belgian government has other
proofs that great many deported
Belgians, in spite of their unanimous
desire to return to Belgium, were not
allowed even to attend funerals OF
relatives; sons were refused the con-
ISOLATION of going home to bury their
mothers. The deported appear to
have entirely escaped the supervision
of the delegates of neutral countries,
the Germans putting forward the pre-
text that they are not prisoners of
war. Whenever delegates have been
exceptionally authorized to visit these
civilians it has always been in the
presence Of German authorities. The
evidence gathered by the Belgian
government in these cases is categoric
and covers a period down to the end
Of March of this year.

court OFFICER
FINDS PITIFUL
r: NEGLECT CASE
Mother and Five Children
Abandoned by Father Sub.
sist on Few Crumbs Of
Black Bread.

Adult Probation Officer Andrea
son, to whom Oscar c. Riley was
paroled Saturday by Judge Sears
after plea of guilty to the charge OF
wife and child abandonment, found
the Riley family in a pitiful plight
when he visited the home at 42l2
North Fortieth street Monday.
The mother and FIVE children, rang
ing in ages from l to 8 years, were
found living in a two-room shack.
neatly kept, but destitute of furniture
and without a shovel full of fuel for
the broken down kitchen range,
Feet on Ground.
The children were huddled together,
shivering with cold, and had to stay
home from school because there was
snow on the ground and they had no
shoes. The only food in the pantry
consisted Of part of loaf OF black
rye bread, from which they had been
eating sparingly for the last three
days.
Riley was arrested for abandoning
his family a year ago, but on failure
to provide for them he was arrested
again and paroled to Andreason. He
sent him to work on farm out in
the county Saturday, with the agree
ment that he would contribute SIS
week to the support of his wife and
children. II he fails to meet the
condition he will be sent to the peni-
tertiary.
Provider is Drafted.
The family has been kept together
by Mrs. Riley's brother, who sup-
ported them until he was drafted.
Mrs. Riley refused .an offer to provide
homes for two of her children because
she could not bear to have the family
separated.
The family is in need of soft coal
heater, clothing and shoes. Their
rent is overdue and will have to be
paid. Andfeason says that the county
will furnish coal for the winter. Miss
Magee has also promised to give aid
il; the case.
"A county workhouse,' says An
dreason, would absolutely do away
with these wife and child abandon
ment cases that occur every day in
Omaha. There are an average of FIVE
such cases filed in district court every
day of the year. 1t is an outrage.
Men who abandon their families
should be put to hard labor in a
county workhouse and their earnings
turned over to their families"

MR.. SHoUSE REPLIES
Strongly in Favor Of Saving Grain
Formerly Used for Booze.

From the Stafford Courier.
Last week many form cards were
sent to Congressman Shouse asking
his help in closing breweries and dis
tilleries as war measure to conserve
the supply of grain. He has replied
as follows:
Acknowledging receipt of your re-
cent request that / use my influence
in behalf of legislation prohibiting
the use Of grain or food stuffs in the
manufacture of intoxicating liquors,
! am glad to tell you that / am thor
oughly in sympathy with your sug-
gestion that the manufacture of all
intoxicants should cease and this
grain be used for the purpose of food
supply Of the country. l am strongly
in favor of such legislation not only
during the period of the war but at
all times and shall do everything in
my power to support any such legisla-
ton that may come up for considera-
ton.
"Feel free to command me when
ever l can be Of service and believe
me, with kind regards,
Sincerely yours,
JOUETT SHOUSE."
