German Commanders
Ordered Poisoning of
Wells in Belgian Retreat

Washington, Oct. 30.-Documents
quoting orders issued by German
commanders for the methodical de-
struction Of property and for the
poisoning Of wells during the recent
evacuation of Belgian and French
territory have reached Washington.
Among them is an order taken from
a prisoner. issued by the commander
of the 10Sth Infantry Brigade of the
German army on Sept. S, directing
specifically that certain villages be
destroyed by the rear guard. Desig-
mated units are assigned to the de-
struction of the villages named and,
IN addition, the order states: ut is
the duty of everyone to participate IN
these distinctions, which are to be
carried out with more method and
iesI haste" The order which is sign
ed Week" presumably either the bril-
gade commander or his chief of staff,

nurses also were sent to the border and
they are being assisted by Sisters u
Mercy from the converts in the southern
provinces of Holland.
So far there have been two main
streams some 30 miles apart. One poiat
of entry is where the Dutch provinces
of Brabant and Limboug meet, and the
other is across the Meuse river into
Maastricht, the capital of Limbourg
province. At these points the fugitives
are registered by the military author:-
ties and must undergo a physical exami-
nation. All the French spoke of the
kindness Of the Belgian people, Who
shared their food with them.
The fatigues Of the journey were too
much for some of the travellers. the
weaker ones died on the way and few
others succumbed soon after reaching
the hospitable soil Of Holland. Many
refugees are suffering from grippe ard
bronchial affections. The worst CASES
had been given immediate assistance ct
the nearest hospitals and converts, but
the examining physicians say that tie
number of sick thus far has been lower
than had been anticipated.
Many pathetic incidents occurred dur
ing the march. Among the refugees
reaching the Dutch border was a young
mother with the body of her six-months-
old babe clasped to her breast. The
tabe had died four days previously,
but the mother refused to bury the body
in soil held by the enemy. An old wo-
man of Cambrai travelled for three
weeks in chair tied on a cart. Scarcely
had she reached neutral soil when the
cart overturned and she was killed.
Repatriating the refugees to Frame
through the liberated section of Belgium
Is rot yet feasible as bridges have De- an
blown up and the railways and tram
ways are in nc condition for use. Mean
while a scheme for repatriation by sea
is being considered.
