PROCLAMATION OF THE GER
MAN MILITARY COMMANDANT
OF LILLE,

The attitude Of England makes the
and more difficult.
To reduce the misery, the German
authorities have recently asked for
volunteers to go and work in the coun-
try. This offer has not had the sue
cess that was expected.
In consequence Of this. the inhabi-
tants will be deported by order and
removed into the country. Persons de-
ported will be sent to the interior Of
the occupied territory in France, far
behind the front, where they will be
employed in agricultural labor, and not
in any military work whatever. By
this measure they will be given the
opportunity of providing better for
their subsistence.
In case of necessity provisions can
be obtained through the German de-
pots. Every person deported will be
allowed to take with him 80 kilo-
geammes of luggage (household uten-
sils, clothes, etc), which they will be
we'll advised to make ready at once.
I order, therefore, that no one may,
until further order, change his place
of residence. No one may absent
himself from his legally declared resi-
dence from 90 p. m. to 60 a. m Ger
man time), unless he is in possession
of permit in due form.
Inasmuch as this is an irrevocable
measure, it is in the interest Of the
population itself to remain calm and
obedient.
THE COMMANDANT.
Lille, April, 1915.
This proclamation was followed up by
the deportation of $4,000 French civilians
from the towns of Roubaix, Turcoing and
Lille. There were girls as young as six
teen among the victims, and men as old as

Treason means the opposite of patriot
ism, but the German word ''war-treason"
means loyalty to patriotism at the risk Of
ones life. Acts of .war-treason are acts
done by the inhabitants of an occupied
territory, on behalf Of their native coun-
try and their fellow-countrymen, for
which the German military code pre-
scr1bes the penalty Of death. Edith
Caven and her companions had done such
acts and we'll knew what awaited them If
they were discovered It was in this that
their heroism lay.1

II is to my very great regret that the
German troops find themselves COM
peIled to cross the Belgian frontier.
They are acting under the conStratnt
Of an unavoidable necessity, Belgium's
neutrality having been Violated by
French officers, who, in disguise,
crossed Belgian territory by motor car
in order to make their way into Ger
many.
Belgians!
It is my greatest wish that there
may still be way of avoiding con-
fict between two nations which have
hitherto been friends, and at one time
even allies.
Remember the glorious days Of Wa
tprloO, where German arms played
their part in founding and establishing
the independence and prosperity of
YOUR country. But we must have
free passage. The destruction of
bridges, of tunnels and of railways will
have to be looked upon as hostile acts.
Belgians!
1t is for you to choose! I hope the
German Army of the Mouse will not
be forced to fight you. A free passage
for attack is all we desire.
I give formal pledges to the Belgian
population that it will have nothing to
suffer from the horrors of war, that
we will pay in gold for the provisions
that must be taken from the country,
and that our soldiers will prove them
selves the best of friends to a people
for whom we feel the highest esteem
and the greatest sympathy. 1t rests
With your good sense and with an in
