Settlers Have Twcnty Years in Which
to Pay for Land Provided
fer Them.
otterdam-Another group of Bel
gian farmers who had taken refuge in
Holland when the German troops in
vaded their country have departed on
their way to the southern States of
the United States to take new homes
there. The men, who were accompan-
led by their wives and generally by
numerous children, were all selected
ON account of their ability as cultiva-
tors by William H. Manss of Baltimore,
the special representative of the South
ern Settlement and Development
Organization.
On their arrival at their destination
it is intended that the Belgian farmers
shall settle in small colonies, consist
ing of from 10 to 100 families in any
one of the Southern States they may
select as most suited to them both on
account of the climate and of the ma
ture of the land. 1t has been arranged
that they shall be placed in possession
of small parcels of land ranging from
10 acres in the case of a truck farm to
40 acres in the case of a general farm,
and shall be provided with farm ami
mails and implements and house, for
all of which they are to pay out of
their profits after the first year Of oc
cupation for period of 20 years.
Care for the welfare of these asrl-
cultural immigrants, of whom the
South stands so much In need, is to
be taken by the organization under
whose auspices they are sent to Amer
ica Churches and schools of their own
religious faith are to be provided and
the organization has agreed to settle
them on land near railroads and cities
with marketing facilities. The land Is
to be thoroughly tested by officials Of
the Agricultural College and each
farmer settled has to agree to cultivate
the land of his selection for period of
at least five years, the time necessary
for him to acquire citizenship.
The scheme of Southern settlement
has been taken into consideration also
by the authorities and emigration So
cieties of Holland and the latter intend
this year to send special delegates to
America to investigate so that Dutch
farmers who may later emigrate may
be given proper advice as to their pros.
poets of success in their new homes.

New York, March S-Stories of
German atrocities upon American SOL
diers were reported today by patients
in the army hospital here, according
to the New York World.
The story of a night patrol, in
which IL American dough boys
were captured, but returned the next
night by the Germans, was related by
Albert B. Sykes, attached to the Di-
vision Sanitary Corps. He said:
Twelve infantrymen went out on a
night patrol, and when they failed to
return that night it was taken for
granted they had been captured. They
came back to us the next night.
when dawn came they were lying
out in front of our trenches. Every
man had his eyes gouged out, and in
several cases the hands and legs were
gone"
The government has made no offlc-
ial report of atrocities upon Ameri-
can troops.
