Reprisals May Be Forced.

Thus far no retaliatory steps have
been taken toward alien enemies by the
allies. but continued illegal acts by
Germany. 1t is generally believed. may
cause them to adopt severe measures.
Germany objected to the transfer of
German women. children and civilians
from Taborah to France for internment.
axerring the health Of the captives was
jeopardized. Belgian authorities de-
clared the transfer was made necessary
by the devastation of the Taborah
region.
Belgium. it is said, offered to ex-
change the. prisoners for Belgians in
termed in Germany. On June Ger
many replied through the Holy See that
the offer would be taken under con-
sideration.
How They Considered It.
On June 90. without answering the
proposal further. German officials seized
and deported from Brussels twenty
persons comprising colonial officials or
directors of colonial companies.
In reporting the case to the State De-
partment the minister pointed out that
Belgium's inyariable policy Is to treat
prisoners humanely. Further. it was
declared. most of the prisoners taken
by the Germans were of advanced age
and there is danger that German treat
ment of them will prove disastrous.
