BELGIANS ENSLAVED
BY GERMAN DESPOTS
Macmillan Signs for Humanity
While DastardIy Crimes Are Com
Mitted by Military Barbarians.

Havre, Oct 8-The Belgian gov
eminent has issued a statement that
from the coast to beyond Bruges, the
male population between the ages of
Is and As has been brutally torn from
their homes and forced to labor on
German military works.
The Belgian government has been
comforting for several weeks past with
the Allied governments on the sub
ject Of measures which are necessi-
tated by methods of systematic des-
truction and pillage which the enemy
is employing in territory he is obliged
to evacuate.
Belgium has been from the begin
ming Of the war exposed to the out
RACES of the German armies. At the
very moment the new imperial
chancellor is proclaiming his anxiety
for the happiness of peoples and his
will to work for the deliverance of
humanity, the Belgian government
receives news of fresh excuses on
the part of the German armies in oc-
cupied Belgium. From the coast to
beyond Bruges the male population
from Is to As years is being torn from
their homes and subjected to the most
brutal treatment These men are
compelled to work at forced labor for
the military needs of the enemy
"a vengeful clamor would rise from
the whole world if, at the moment of
leaving Belgian soil, the German
armies renewed with redoubled cruel
ty the excuses which marked the in
vasion of Belgium. and if they under
took to consummate the ruin Of the
country by pillage, arson and the
wholesale deportation of the people,"

The third of a pie each! According
to the grudging restaurateur's present
way OF thinking, the sixth, or even the
seventh, of a pie is good enough for
the average stay at home citizen. the

Gerln2-,, 5 Ship Plans.
New York Commercial.


BY way Of Stockholm comes a re-
port that Germany is building sixty
large merchant steamers to take the
place of those lost during the war on
all the trade routes of the world.
One is said to be of 5000 tons bur
den and three or four others exceed
$4,000 tons. Outside of Northern
Europe there is only one port avail
able for such large vessels and that
is New York. Before the war all the
great ocean liners afoat piled be-
tween this port and Northern Europe.
They are not adapted for other traf-
fic, and New York saw more Of them
than any port in Europe. If this
Swedish story is true those who are
building them must feel confident
that trade between Germany and the
United States will be resumed on the
old basis. Such boats have no other
place to go. The welcome they will
receive in New York after the war
remains to be seen.

NfILIIONAIRES WIPED OUT.
Detection of Bulgaria Skaters Norwe-
gian Shipping Market.

Stockholm, Oct. 7, (By the Associ-
ated Press. )-Bulgarias withdrawal
from the war and subsequent peace
has played havoc with Scandinavian
shipping stocks. Norwegian papers
estimate that 100 war millionaires
have been wiped out by the break in
Norwegian shipping securities alone.
Ii a single day it is estimated that
the value of Norwegian shipping
stocks declined 100000 kroners,
or about $33,0O0OO0. The losses were
chiefly on securities of small COM
ponies operating one or two ships,
whose stocks have been selling as high
as 400 because Of stiff freight rates.
Many stocks of this character have
dropped in value so per cent.
