that once more places in relief the

changed all that.

The news dispatches indicate that
the deportation and forced labor OF
Belglans still continue. In a dispatch
from Havre New York Evening Post.
September Is. 1919 1t IS stated 1.-THE
removal of the civilian population OF
Belgium continues, according TO adj
vices received here. The town of Rou-
lers, Immediately behind the battle
line in Flanders, has been evacuated
completely. 0stend is being emptied
gradually, and two thousand persons
already have been sent from Courtrai."
In another dispatch from Havre
Washlngton Post, September "a. 1910
1t is stated that "the German military
authorities Mt Bruges. Belgium. are
conscripting forcibly all the boys and
men of that city between the ages of
fourteen and sixty to work in muniticn
factories and s%hipyards. The rich and
poor, shopkeepers and workmen, all
are being taken, only the school teach
ers, doctors, and priests escaping"
German Officer Rebuked Men.
The following Order of the Day"
shows how the town of Huy escaped
the fate of so many Belgium and
French towns. Drunken German sol
diers were frightened and began to
shoot men and burn houses. The
commanding officer condemned this be-
cause 1t was not done by his order and
because two German soldiers were
wounded. IT Is evident that massacres
and arson We're permitted only when
commanded by the officers.
LAST night q shooting ARRAY took
place. There is no evidence that the
Inhabitants of the towns had any arms
In their houses, nor is there evidence
that the people took part in the shoot
ing; on the contrary, it seems that the
soldiers were under the influence of
alcohol, and began to shoot in a sense
less fear of a hostile attack.
"The behavior of the soldiers during
the night, with very few exceptions,
makes a scandalous impression.
ut is highly deplorable when officers
or noncommissioned officers set houses
on fire without permission or order Of
the commanding, or, as the case may
be, the senior officer, or when by their
attitude they encourage the rank and
file to burn and plumber.
'The miserable behavior Of the men
caused a noncommissioned officer and
a private TO be seriously wounded by
German bullets.
