Turkish Slaves to
Work for Germans

AmstcTdam.-The German news
papers announce that the Turkish
government. at the request of the
German authorities. has consented
to send to SchleswIg Holstein several
hundred young men to assist in agri-
cultural work and thereby cope with
Germany's shortage of men.
1t is calculated that several thou
sands of Turks OF nonmilttary stntus
have been impressed into Germany
for agricultural work. These Iaborers
are not being paid, as they are con-
sidered to be working for Turkey in
an allied country, and their upkeep
is to be at the expense of the Turkish
government.
