Ruthless Deportation
Ordered by Germans

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IL
FRANCE. Nov. (By The Associated
Press Tho Germans now are remov-
ing the civil population in advance Of
the retreat OF their armies from French
soil. A document captured by Amcri-
can soldiers contains instructions for
rounding up the male population capa-
bic Of bearing arms and all cattle. The
document says that this has been done
only in part up to this time because
the passive resistance of the population
had reduced the forcos at the disposal
Of the local commandants.
All division commanders are ordered
hereafter to search each district syste-
matically and to deliver under guard
20 the local commander all men be-
tween fourteen and sixty. together with
all cattle. Concentration camps will
be established near the Headquarters
towns for the civilians who are to be
removed. The cattle will be taken to
the nearest slaughter houses. The
German or-ler also provides that all
horses must be taken. and concludes:
The puvDose ~ view cannot be ac-
compli4hed except by proceeding with
out the slightest consideration"

Member Of British War Cabi-
net Says Arabs VIII BE
Given a Free State

LONDON. Nov, l.--An Allied attack
on Germany from the east WAS fore
ahadowed by George Nicoll Barnes,
member of the British War Cabinet,
in a speech last evening at the Ameri-
can Officers Club in London.
The armistice with Turkey might
have been signed earlier sai, Mr..
Barnes, "but we held the Turks on a
string" He explained that the Allies
We're committed to a free Arab state.
With Aleppo AS the capital and there
WAS no hurry to get the Turks out OF
the war until Aleppo WAS captured.
Other places rs necessary to the Arabs
as Aleppo must also be surrendered,
The British have been assembling :.
ships at the mouth Of the Dardenelea
for some time and Mr.. Barnes said he
understood the vessels already had
started through the straits, He con
cluded:
There is now nothing to prevent
the feet from going into the Black Sea
and UP the Danube TO Germany's back
door, and If the Germans are going to
defend their territory they must divide
their remaining forces between the
Western front and the back door at
which we shall soon be knocking"

ing them in most effective way Of
the rapidly increasing strength OF the
American armies and Marshal Foch's
ability to throw their weight in this
part OF the Western front withou re
laXing the major operations steadily
deveEpi0g under the direction of Cen
eral Pershing.
The British troops rapidly attained
their fist objective. As rule. the
enemy fought stubornly but not des-
perately, and was not long in sur
rendering when in tight corner.
Light tanks did invaluable work in
dealing with cauoufiaged machine gun
nests. SO quickly did the attack 90 in
some places that the cnemy's motor

we're captured before they could be

The British are fighting tyicsl field

which cylist patrols are participating
and dong excellent service with their

Economic Regions
Planned in France
After-the-War Problems of
Reconstruction Already Are
Being Studied

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 1.-The divi-
sion of France into economic regions
IN order 20 insure the most effective CO.
operation of French chambers of COM
mercc IN the solution Of aftcr-the- war
economic problems is the task upon
winch the French Ministry of Com.
merce IS at present busily engaged. ac-
cording to a bulletin issued bv the
Philadelphia Commercial Museum.
These economic problems will be nu-
merous and complex. Among the most
pressing will be the industrial recon
structlon OF the invaded regions. the
coordination OF existing railway lines.
the maximum utilization Of hydro cleo
'1lc power, the Improvement of French
seaports and the development of the
interior waterways of the country. To
solve these questions the co0peration
OF the chambers OF commerce will be
essential. In many cases this coopera-
ton Will extend to financial participa-
ton in the cost OF the improvements
by the chambers of commerce in a
given section OF the country.
10 illustrate. il il is decided to con-
struct the much discussed Nord- Est
Canal. which would connect the mort
OF Dunkirk with the industrial centre
OF Nancy, the chambers of Commerce,
IN certain cities of the Departments
Nord, Pas eCalais, Aisne, Ardennes
and Meurthe t-Moselle would have to
assume part of the expense. On the
other hand, certain cities in those de-
partments would have no concern in
such canal and would not contribute
to the expense.
The Ministry of Commerce believes
tnat in this and many similar problems
the necessary cooperation cannot be
realized on the basis of the existing
departmental frontiers. To eliminate
this barrier to successful cooperation
among the chambers of commerce of
certain regions the Ministry of Com
merce proposes to divide all of France
into sixteen economic regions, without
regard to departmental limits where
they do not conform to economic zones
of influence. For example, the in1u-
cnce of the city of Lyons extends over
all the departments of Ain, Rh6no,
Loire. Ardethc and Drome, but over
only part of the departments OF
aone-et-Loire. Haute- Loire aud Iserc.
The economic region of which Lyons
is the unchallenged capital must be de-
fined by other than the departmental
frontiers. Similar adjudcations arc
called for in the case of other impor-
ant urban centres.
