Retreat Toward Aisne
BY FRED 5. FERGUSON

(United Press STAFF Correspondent
WITH THE AMERICANS IN
FRANCE (11 p. NJ July 2s:-rhs
Crown Prince Is rapidly retreating to-
ward the crise and Vesie- rivers, and
may fall back clear TO the Aisne. The
biggest American advance since the
start of the Franco-American rush
was carried out across the Ourcqs
near Sergy. this morning. Squeezing
of the pocket on the right and lefb
sides while thrusting northward in
the middle sent the boches farther
in retreat. The Americans steadily
advanced all day yesterday through
a heavy rain.
They fought through tangled. mar
row paths and woods and crossed
fields, routing out machine gun nests
and pushing on as resistance was de-
molished. There are many additional
prisoners, but they include few ma
chine gunners. The Americans killed
or wounded practically all OF the la
ter who were left behind as sacrifices.
An intensified war Of movement
has again set IN with renewed mo-
mentum. Armored cars are being
used in reconnoisances.

ruption of the ravitaillment, for
which, while loath to own any abli-
cation to America, the Germans have
always been grateful, since it has had
the effect of keeping the population
calm, the authorities never pressed
the point, other than with the burgo-
masters of the communes. Finally,
however, the military party, always
brutal, and with an astounding ignor-
ance of public opinion and of moral
sentiment, determined to put these
idle men to work.
General Won Kissing and the civil
portion of his encourage had always
been and even now are opposed to
this policy and 1 think have sincerely
done what they could, first, to pre-
vent it's adoption, and secondly, to
tighten the rigors of its application %
In the early days of the German
advance into Belgium, the people
had learned to fear the worst This
was particularly true in Antwerp.
In order to alleviate their fears and
to obtain guarantees which might
hasten the restoration of settled
conditions, Cardinal Mercier secured
from the German governor of Ant
werp promises, and in a circular
letter dated October 18th, 1914, ask
ed the clergy of the Province of Ant
werp to communicate them to the
people:
Solemn Promises of Germans Not to
Exploit Belgians.

Legation of the United States of
America, Brussels, January 18th,
1917. The Honorable, the Secretary
of State, Washington.
Horrifying Behavior of the Germans
in Belgium.
"Sir: l have had it in mind, and
I might say, On my conscience, since
the Germans began to deport Bel
gian workmen early in November, to
prepare for the Department detail
ed report on this latest instance of
brutality, but there have been so
many obstacles in the way of obtain
ing evidence on which calm and
judicious opinion could be based, and
and one is so overwhelmed with the
horror of the thing itself, that it has
been, and even now is, difficult to
write calmly and justly about it. 1
have had to content myself with the
fragmentary dispatches I have from
time to time sent to the Department
and with doing what l could, little
as that can be, to alleviate the dis
tress that this gratuitous cruelty has
caused the population of this unhap-
py land.
s'In order to understand fully the
situation it is necessary to go back
to the autumn of 1914. At the time
we were organizing the relief work,
the Comite National-the Belgian
relief organization that collaborates
with the Commission for Relief in
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1918-05-30

Belsium-proposed an arrangement
by which the Belgian Government
should pay to it's own employees left
in Belgium, and other unemployed
men besides, the wages they had
been accustomed to receive. The
Belgians wished to do this both for
humanitarian and patriotic purposes:
they wished to provide the unemploy-
ed with the means of livelihood, and,
at the same time, to prevent their
working for the Germans. I refused
to be connected in any way with this
plan, and told the Belgian committee
that it had many possibilities OF
danger, that not only would it place
a premium on idleness, but that it
would ultimately exasperate the Ger
mans. However, the policy was
adopted, and has been continued in
practice, and on the rolls of the
Comite National have been borne the
names of hundreds of thousands
some 100000, 1 believe-of idle men
receiving this dole, distributed
through the communes.
German Cupidity Excited.
"The presence of these unemploy-
ed, however, was a constant tempta-
tion to German cupidity. Many times
they sought to obtain the lists of the
chomeueurs but were always foiled
by the claim that under the guaran-
tees covering the relief work, the
records of the Comte National and
it's various suborganizations were i'm
mune. Rather than risk any inter-

Advance i'm Humanity-Until August
1914.

Until the present war the whole
civilized world has boasted Of its ad-
vance in humanity. This advance
had been marked in many fields, and
in none had greater progress been
made than in the protection to be
given to the private citizen in an in
vaded country. AS far back as 1858,

ment of Armies of the United States

s22. Nevertheless, as civilization
has advanced during the last centurl-
ries, sohas likewise steadily advanc-
ed, especially in war on land, the
distinction between the private in
dividual belonging to a hostile coun-
try and the hostile country itself,
with it's men in arms. The principle
has been more and more ACKNOWLEDGED
that the unarmed citizen is to be
spared in person, property, and hon
or, as much as the exigencies of war
will admit.
"23. Private citizens are no longer
murdered, enslaved, or carried off to
distant parts, and the inoffensive in
dividual is as little disturbed in his
private relations as the commander
of the hostile troops can afford to
grant in the overruling demands of
a vigorous war.
"24. The almost universal rule in
remote times was, and continues to
be with barbarious armies, that the
private individual of the hostile
country is destined to suffer every
privation of liberty and protection,
and every disruption of family ties.
Protection was, and still is with un-
civilized people, the exception"

Won Hoiringen, General Won Huene,
has authorized me to inform you in
his name and to communicate by
your obliging intermediary to our
populations the following declara-
tions:
"(D The young men need not
fear being taken to Germany, either
to be enrolled into the army or to
be employed at forced labors.
"(2) If individual infractions of
police regulations are committed, the
authorities will institute search
for the responsible authors and will
punish them, without placing the re-
sponsibility on the entire popula-
tion.
"(3) The German and Belgian
authorities will neglect nothing to see
that food is assured to the popula-
ton"
These promises were not kept, as
Cardinal Mercier and his colleagues
show by abundant evidence in the
Appeal to Truth.
