DepOrtees Held

London. May 12-(By MaiD-From an
official Belgian source The Associated
Press has been informed of the follow
ing:
The Belgian deportees are still kept
in Germany, notwithstanding the prom
Use of Emperor William.
Only about one-third of the total
number of deportees have been repatri-
ated. These are the sick and manned
men. The Belgian hospitals are full of
them. Many of them have died. Most
of them will be forever unable to work.
Those who have been kept in Germany
are now divided among small labor
"kommandos." This explains why the
camps are now nearly evacuated and
that the public is under the delusion
that those men have been sent back to
their country.
AS matter of fact their fate has be-
come, if possible, still worse. BY i'll
treatment, hardships, isolation, they are
submitted to relentless pressure in order
to force them to accept the work which
they have hitherto refused. According to
the letters which they succeeded in for
warding surreptitiously, according to the
report of those among them who have
come back physically wrecked and COM
pletely exhausted, and according to the
testimony of those who managed to es-
cape from Germany and to reach Holland
and England, the deportees still in Ger
many are martyrs.
More than three months ago the Ger
man Emperor himself wrote to the Pope
assuring him that the deportees would
all be sent back to their homes and that
the married men would lead the van.
AS a matter of fac. the German author
tiles have stopped taking any further adj
vantage of the sick and the unfit. They
still go on trying to reduce into slavery
by every means the unhappy Belgians, in
order to get hold of labor material the
need of which reveals itself more and
more pressngly. AS a consequence OF
this regime of terror Belgian fathers of
families die every day, preferring mar
tyrdom to submission in aid of the coun-
try's enemy.
