! century later, after more than so
years of progress, the German Gov
ernment has gone back to the meth
DDS used by 'barbarious armies and
"uncivilized people" It has delib-
erately adopted the policy of de-
porting men and women, boys and
girls, and of forcing them to work
for their captors, it has even COM
PEELED them to make arms and NUM-
tions for use against their allies
and their own flesh and blood.
No other act of the German Gov
ernment has aroused such horror and
detestation 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
off 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.
The system of forced labor and
deportation embraced the whole of
Belgium, Poland, and the occupied
lands of France.
The plan for setting forth the
essential facts of the deportations
and forced labor is as follows: the
documents, that is to say, small
fraction of those which could be
cited, will be allowed to tell the
story, and only such comments will
be added as are needed to enable
the reader easily to grasp the con-
nection of events.

"The deportations' :" were the
most vivid, shocking, convincing,
single happening in all our enforced
observation and experience of German
disregard of human suffering and
human rights in Belgium" Vernon
Kellogg in Atlantic MONTHLY, October,
1917.
A summary of the whole situation,
down to January, 1917, can be OBJ
tanned by reading continuously the
report of Minister Whitlock, taken
from the files of the State Depart
ment, which is given in italics on
pages 1880, 54, $3.50, '69-70, 1911,
80-81. The insertion of his report
at appropriate points has made it
