Amsterdam (via London), April 21.-
Resolutions of revolutionary charac-
ter were presented by the leaders Of
the Berlin strikers at mass meeting
Of the workers, according to the "D15-
seldorfer General Anzeiger." Peace
without annexations and the abolition
of compulsory service were two Of the
striking features Of these resolutions,
which, the paper says, were not carried.
The resolutions demanded that the
government declare its immediate read
mess for peace on the basis of re-
nunciAtion Of all intention Of annexa-
tions. They further demanded the lib

Washington, April 21.-A bitter in
dictment Of German brutality in the
deportation Of conquered Belgians for
forced labor, written from behind the
German lines by Brand Whitlock'
American Minister to Belgium, was
made public tonight by the State De-
partment. 1t came in confidential re-
port last January, when the United
States was vainly protesting to Berlin
against the treatment of the helpless
people, but the department did not dare
publish it at that time or until Mr.
Whitlock was safe on French soil.
The report begins with a story OF
what happened Immediately after the
German army overran Belgium. OF ar
rangemcnts by the Belgian government
to continue the wages of civilians
thrown out Of employment, and of the
conquerors' determination to put these
men to work for them.
"In August Won Hindenburg was ap-
pointed to the supreme command" says
the report. "He is said to have criti-
cised Won Bissing's policy as too mild
There was quarrel. Won Bissing
vent TO Berlin to protest; threatened
to resign, but did not. He returned,
and a German official here said that
Belgium would now be subjected to a
more terrible would learn
what war was. The prophecy has been
vindicated.
Deportation Made General
"The deportations began in October
in the etape (stockade) at Client and
at Bruges. The policy spread. The
rich industrial districts of Hainault,
the mines and steel works about Char
leroi, were next attacked. Now they
are seizing men in Brabsnt, even in
Brussels, despite home indications and
even predictions of the civil authori-
ties that the policy was about to be
abandoned.
"As by one of the ironies of life, the
winter has been more excessively cold
than Belgium has ever known; and
while many of those who presented
themselves were adequately protected
against the cold, many of them were
without overcoats. The men. shivering
from cold and fear; the parting from
weeping wives and children; the bar
riers of brutal Uhlans-all this made
the scene a pitiable and distressing one.
E" The rage, the terror and
despair excited by this measure all over
Belgium were beyond anything we had
witnessed since the day the Germans
poured into Brussels. The delegates OF
the Commission for Relief in Belgium.
returning to Brussels, told the most
distressing stories of the scenes Of
cruelty and sorrow attending the
seizures. And daily, hourly almost,
since that time. appalling stories have
been related by Belgians coming to the
legation.

US to exercise all possible tact in deal
ing with the subject at all, and, sec
ondly, because there is no means of

One of the Foulest Deeds on Record
"The we'll known tendency of sensa-
tional reports TO exaggerate themselves,
especially in time of war and in
situation like that existing here, with
no newspapers to serve as daily clear
ing house for all the rumors that are
as avdly believed as they are eagerly
repeated, should, of course, be consid-
cred; but even if modicum of all that
is told is true, there still remains enough
to stamp this deed as one Of the foulest
that history records.
81 am constantly in receipt Of reports
from all over Belgium that tend to
bear out the stories one constantly
hears of brutality and cruelty. A num-
ber of men sent back TO Mons are said
to be in a dying condition, many of
them tubercular. At Malines and at
Antwerp returned men have died, their
friends asserting that they have been
victims of neglect and cruelty, OF cold,
of exposure, of hunger.
"I have had requests from the bur-
gomasters of ten communes from La
Iouviere, asking that permission be
obtained to send to the deported men In
Germany packages of food similar TO
those that are being sent TO prisoners
of war. Thus far the German author
tiles have refused to permit this, except
in special instances, and returning Bel
gians claim that even when such pack
ages are received they are used by the
camp authorities only as another means
of coercing them to sign the agree
ments TO work.
Promised Pay Not Given
at is said that, in spite of the liberal
salary promised those who would sign
voluntarily, no money has as yet been
received in Belgium from workmen IN
Germany.

tations remains TO be noted, result

NOW POSTMASTERS
 MUST STAND EXAMS
Spells System as to Postoffices to be
 Abolished by New Order.

Washington, March 7.-Postmaster General Burleson announced today that after April 1 the appointments of all postmasters of the first, second and third class will be subject to competi- tive examinations. Nominations will be sent to the Senate, as in the past, but in making selections the president will be guided by the results of ex- |aminations and will send in the names at the head of the lists.
 Whether the Civil Service Commis- sion, under which fourth class post masters are now named, will conduct the examinations has not been deter mined.
 The presidents order will provide for modified civil service classification, under which all vacancies will be filled by competitive examination. Those in the service will continue without examination until the expiration of four years term, beginning with their last appointment and will then have to undergo competitive test.
 A hornets nest was stirred up by the announcement at the capitol, where scores of members of Congress were preparing to leave for home. The order was denounced because some of the Democratic leaders and several members construed it as move to get combined Democratic and Republican support in politically un- certain house. Democratic Leader Kitchn delayed his departure for North Carolina to go to the postoffice department to protest.
 The congressman who saw Mr. Bur leson were told that it was too late to protest, as the order has been de- termined upon and will be carried out. He minated that he is not the author of it, but that it was a measure of efficiency and economy.
 One member suggested that the or der would put many Republicans in office, as many of the active assistant postmasters are Republicans retained by the Democrats.
 The postmaster general replied that the examination would have to take place and there would be no special privileges to any one"

LONDON REJOICES
Cheered by News Of the
Russian Attack
Public Unprepared for Such Ex-
tensive Move

London, July 1.-THE resumption of
the Russian offensive with the cap
ture of the town of Koneuchy and
more than 10000 prisoners. is the
most cheerful news the British have
had in weeks. References in recent
German official communications to the
activity of the Russians have given
hope that something really serious was
about to occur, but the public was hard
~ prepared for such immediate and
successful results, as it was thought
it would take few days for the ar
, tillery to destroy the Austro- German
ton for so many months.
The scene Of the Russian success,
| between the Stripa and Zlota Lipo riv-
ers, was the battle ground of much
! heavy fighting after Gen. Brussiloff' S
offensive of a year ago, koniuchy be-
ing on the latter river. This, like the
