General Haig
Is Impressed
by Americans

American Headquarters on h"
British Front, Wednesday, June u.
by the Associated Press )-Fie!i
Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, conf
mander in chief of the British army
in France today reviewed the
American troops on p wide plain in
This area.
The Americans filed past with an
easy swinging step that bore out
the opinion of many British eX-
perts that they are as fit physically
as training can make them. Parad-
ing is not supposed to be their
strong point, but after a long
march to the reviewing ground auA
on their backs, their alignment,
step and carriage were excellent.
The review opened impressively
with a salute to the colors while a
squadron from the Royal flying
corps flew over the field and did
some acrobatic stunts in honor OF
their allies. Field Marshal Haig
stopped several times to chat with
officers while passing along the
line.
British officers present were i'm
pressed by the physical condition
of the men and by their high spir-
its. The medical officers have had
little to do thus far in this zone.
The health of the men. whether
quartered in billets or camping In
the open, has been far above TIE
average.

SOUTH AMERICAS
HAIL JOINT PLAN
WITH N. AMERICA

Santiago, Chile, June 1.-THE
NaeioD. the official organ OF the
government. publishes an article
which says that the government OF
the United States desires to form a
political block with the nations Of
South America. with the object of
moving in concert with them in flu
ture affairs. II adds that the Bryan
formula for submitting to arbitra-
ton all questions arising between
nations had swept aside the suspic-
ions which had been felt In South
American countries toward the pol
icies of the United States. The ar
ticle closes with felicitations over
the cordiality OF the United States,
which ii says will make all Amer
lea political force and a great
commercial power" The same idea
is echoed by other journals.

WAR SUMMARY

Repulsed in their efforts to
reach COmpeigne and drive the
French back in the MOntdidier
REGION, the Germans are in
creasing the weight of their at
tack northeast of Villers-COt-
terets with the hope of forcing
q passage.
The enemy offensive west OF
the OOise Is now in its sixth
day and less progress has been
made than In any other Ger
man drive this year.
The Berlin report makes no
claim of gains but tells OF
fighting southwest of NOyOn,
south of Alsne and south Of
Ypres. The allies say nothing
of fighting south Of Ypres, and
this may herald a new move
ment in the north.
Yesterdays repulse of Ger
man attack by the Americans
at Beleau wood was complete,
the Yankees taking prisoners
and guns besides infficting Sc
we're losses on the enemy.
American and allied airmen
continue 10 barrass the enemy,
tons of bombs being dropped
behind the enemy lines and
more than score of Hun
planes shot down. Raids on
German towns have also been
made by British airmen.

Enforced Slavery Of Civil
ians Still Suffered at
German Hands.

Washington. June 14-Deporta-
I ton and forced labor inflicted upon
Belgian civilians by the German
government not only continues un-
Hbated but has taken on a new
4 character. according to a memoir
andum presented to Secretary of
State Lansing by the Belgian min
lister and made public. The memoir
andum contains a copy OF protest
sent to the German governor of oc-
Cupied territory of Belgium by the
Belgian senate.
The deportation of civilians is
still being carried on, especially in
the military zone which comprises
the two Flanders and a great part
Of the provinces of the Hainaut,
Namur and Luxembourg.
2,7G0 Men Taken.
During March OF this year 2,700
men from all conditions OF life have
been taken from LOckeren in East
Flanders to do military service
The names of all girls and women
from IA TO 40 years old was re-
quired by the Germans from Alost
and that district Some of the boys
deported are as young as 1874
years. the memorandum states
High school and grammar schools
have been called upon to furnish
their quotas.
The Germans also appear to
have changed their reasons for the
deportations, the note states. The
preteXt formerly used, namely. to
give work to the unemployed, has
been abandoned and now the de-
portations are being made on the
grounds that by an order issued by
the Germans every inhabitant o.;
the country may be compelled 10
give his help in case OF public ca
lamity, even outside his residence"
Exposed to Allied Fire.
Under the new prctext, the Ger
man government, says the note,
thus continues Ito tear the Belgians
away from their homes in order TO
transport them into regions imme-
diately behind the German front IN
France and Belgium. There they
are herded like cattle in special
camps, compelled TO do work OF a
military character, and many are
sent into the zone of operations and
exposed to the fire OF Belgian or al
lied batteries Besides they are
subjected TO bad treatment and bru-
tality; their complaints do not
reach the outside world, for the mil
itary zone where they are sent is
strictly closed and no delegate of
a neutral power is ever allowed to
enter this territory"
