Hollander Tells How Deported Bel

BY w. j. KIEHI

Correspondent of the Chicago News.)
The Hague, Holland.-A Netherlund-
er who until four days ago was en-
plOyed at Krupp's munition works in
Essen, Germany, makes the startling
disclosure that some 1000 Hollanders
are working ut Essen in the muntiOn
and war material factories. Most of
these men get there through the maChi-

lander calls "Seelcnerkaufer' cohen

seem to act as agents for supplying
Germany with greatly needed labor.
Eighty or ninety men a day generally
find their way across the border by
means of their agents, Iured by the
prospect of very high wages and good
food. What they find in reality and
how next to impossible it is made for
them to return to their own country
is thus told in the H0llander's words:
No Return Pass Given.
when this firm Of agents secured
my services they did not mention war
work he said. Il was given to under
stand that field labor and trade WORK
was required. Also l was promised
that | could return any Saturday to
Holland to stay through sunday The
promised wages were high and food
was said TO be plentiful. l accepted,
my pass was ready in a few moments,
bat did not know that the signatures
and yises required for my return TO
Holland had been omitted, as they al
ways are in the passes given by these
agents, no doubt because they know
perfectly we'll that after 4 week in
Germany no single Holiander would
ever think Of returning there after his
weekend in Holland.

man soil at Elten, where | found Sey-
eral computriots like myself, we were
met by an agent from an 'arbeits bu-
reau,' who secured our services for

that food was good there and wages
