News of Hindenburg's Proposed Drive
Oh Capital Fails to Excite
Citizens.
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN ARMY
Plan Futile if Germans Are Calcu-
lating on Supposed Demoraliza-
ton of Soldicry.

Petrograd, March 25, Sunday-(Via
London, March 26.)-Thc news that
Field Marshall Won Hindcnburg was
planning a campaign against Petro-
grad was received at the capital with
surprisingly little CONSERVATION, evok-
ing rather a spirit Of calm and un-
shakable confidence in the loyalty of
the troops and the ability of the army
to protect the city from the new dam
ger.
If German calculations are based
upon the supposed decentralization of
the soldiery or more than transient
detection of the troops at the front
from their usual discipline and loyalty
to their commander, these calcula-
tions are plainly in error.
1t is undeniable that during the
first days after the revolution the ex-
treme radical and Socialist element
aimed at taking advantage Of the
overthrow of the authority by sowing
more discomfort among the working
men and soldiers.
Easy at First.
The cloudy state of mind of the
peasant population which, bewldered
by the new vista of freedom and
equality and having had little expe-
rience with liberty Of any sort, mag
lncd that it meant relaxation of every
kind of authority and discipline, made
the propaganda Of the agitators easy
at first. But the prompt measures
taken by the government and Duma
delegations removed whatever dam
ger lay in that direction. kilograms
have been received from every part
of the front affirming that the army
can be relied upon to do its utmost to
defend the country. NJ. Rodzianko,
president of the Duma, received a
delegation from the army hich de-
clared:
TO the Last Ditch.
"All officers and soldiers will de-
Tend the Duma to the last drop of
their blood. They will faithfully obey
the provisional government, and will
strike the Germans to the last man" "
Freedom from the censorship al
ready has had Il salutary effect in per-
hitting the truth to be published
about the new danger from a German
attack without the usual accompani-
mcnt of extravagant rumors, which
IN the past, made news more alarm
ing than the truth itself. The re-
suit is that without minimizing the
danger to the country, the press has
accepted the declaration of the min
lister of war without alarm. The
Rcch says editorially:

BELGIAN WORKMEN
ISSUE AN APPEAL
100000 in Enforced Idleness Because
Germans Have Stripped
Factories.
IMMENSE WAR LEVY RAPIDLY
INCREASING
Must Starve or Be Deported to
Germany--FOodstu(fs
Taken.

Washington, March 27.-An appeal
from Belgian workmen for organized
assistance by neutral governments
and laboring classes in neutral ma
tions was made public at the Belgian
legation today. 1t says 100000 men
have been kept in forced idleness
which has led the Germans to decree
that "either you must sign a contract
for work in Germany, or you will be
taken as slaves"
AS result, it adds, "the whole OF
the working classes of Belgium are
threatened with slavery, starvation
or DEATH"
Germany" the appeal says, "has
condemned her victim to pay an i'm
mense war levy which already
amounts to more than $200,000,000,
and which is increasing at the rate of
$10,000,000 monthly. She has carried
off and transported into Germany by
pillage, confiscation, requisition and
forced sale, foodstuffs and merchan-
disc to the value Of more than 81 ,000.-
100000.
"She has seized and sent to Ger
many the greater part of the raw
products in our factories, the machin-
cry and all accessories. She has thus
stopped our industry and caused an
almost general and enforced state of
idleness Of the working classes"
The plight of those deported is pic
tured as painful
Havre, France, March 27.-The Bel
trustworthy means letters from re-
sponsible Belgians who have been
adopted to Germany. The letters,
dated at the end of February or early
in March, were written from the
camps in which the men are being
confined. Some passages follow:
"Since February we have had only
two meals day. The one in the
evening has been discontinued. That
was the best one, because we had
corn"
From another letter:
ut is frightful here. We are dy-
ing Of famine. We have ration of
bread, water and beets. That is all.
We are skeletons covered with skin.
Thirteen were counted in the morgue
yesterday and ID today. That is from
among the 5000 or 1000 here.
"Conditions are more frightful in
the and camps If anv
one gives us little soup or some
thing else to eat, he is punished with
five days in prison"
From another letter:
"The situation becomes more and
more uncomfortable from day to day
Every morning two or three dead are
found in the huts. The doctors de-
cline all responsibility. Today 1870
are dead at Camp -. We hope for
our deliverance by the great often
sive."

Now we realize that times are still

citizens Of Clarendon do not want to
have even SO small debt upon this
beautiful memorial. You have, many
of you, already contributed literally,

more. Small amounts from many

The above call to the patriotic citi-
zens of Clarendon should not go un-
needed, but should touch the heart
strings of every loyal human in the
county. This monument stands as a
mark of love and patriotism to our
dead heroes and also the few that are
left among us. Another great war
is bearing dowr on us, and who but
knows the results that may come
from it. Some day a memorial may
be erected to the sons of the heroes
of the sixties, who died for the love
and protection of their country. Then
with like monument beside the pres
ent one, you can say, Like Father,
Like Son." they gave their life for
their countrys sake. 1t is true the
times are hard, but this debt must be
paid, and with small donations it can
easily be raised. We will gladly pub
lish the names of those contributing
to this great cause, and will start it
off with our mite.
