peportatlons and Forced Labor.
Until the present war the whole CIV
illzed world has boosted Of its advance
In humanity. This advance has 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 invaded country.
As far back as 1868, in the "Instruc-
lions for the Government OF Armies
Of the United States in the Field"
the United States declared:
"23. Private citizens are no longer
murdered, enslaved, or carried on 10
distant parts. and the inoffensive In
dlvidual Is az little disturbed In his
private relations as the commander
% the hostile troops can AFFORD to
grant Ia the o%verruling demands OF a
vigorous war.
"24. The almost universal rule In
remote times was, and continues to be
with b. -barous armies, that the pri-
vate ind, vidual 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 uncivillzed peo-
pie, the exception"

These declarations we're made In the
midst OF our Civil war-one OF the
worlds iercest conflicts. A half-cen-
fury later, after more than 80 years
Of progress, the German government
has gone back to the methods used
by "%barbnrous armies" and "unclv-
illzed people" II has deliberately
adopted the policy OF deportlng men
and women, boys and girls, and OF
forcing them to work for their cap
tors; II has ever compelled them to
make arms and munitions for use
against their allies and their W iesh
and blood.
No other act OF the German govern
ment has aroused such horror and de-
testntion throughout the civilized
world. Thousands OF helpless men
and women, boys and girls, have been
enslaved. Families have been broken
up. Girls have been carried on TO
work-or worse-in a strange land.
and their relatives have not known
where they have been taken, or what
their fate has been.
Whltlock's story Of Horrors.
In less moving phrases, but In dend-
ly confederation. the continuation Of
the report OF Minister Whitlock saysi
"The rage, the terror. and despair
excited by this measure all over Bel
glum were beyond anything we had
witnessed since the day the Germans
poured into Brussels. The delegates
Of the commission for relief IN Bel
gium. returning to Brussels, told the
most distressing stories OF the scenes
Of cruelty and sorrow attending the
seizures. And daily, hourly almost,
since that time appalling stories have
been related by pc!glans coming to
the legation. II Is impossible for M
to verify them, FIRST because II Ia nee
