United Press Leased Wire Service. ]
PARIS, Feb. 3-The Belgian gov
eminent has In its possession what
are believed to be the complete docu.
nents Of the German general staff
relating TO Belgium, Including the de-
taiIs for Germany's annexation Of the
country and instructions for carrying
off and destroying machinery.
The story Of the capture Of the
documents-one of the most unique
of the war-toeether with what their
examination has revealed 80 far,
reached The United Press today from
authoritative Belgian sources. The
papers filled an entire freight car.
In the rush of evacuation after the
armlstice was signed, this particular
car was run on side track by a
mistake. As soon as its absence was
discovered the general staff naturally
ordered quick and complete search
for it. They chose to direct the
search, lowly civilian official in the
person Of the head OF the "bariey de-
partment." HIS most exciting WoFS
heretofore had to be to get the last
grain of barley from the Belgian
fields. The persistence and anxiety
displayed in this search led Belgian
officials to assign a secret service
operative to trail him. When tho
car was finally located on an iso-
lated siding the Belgians arrested the
German and seized the car.
Examination Of the papers is not
completed, but 1t ls declared they
show the annexation plans provided
for splitting Belgium into two prov
inces in an effort to line up the FIem-
lsh and the Walloons against each
other. The plans, which even went
into administrative details were sign
ed by former Chancellor Won Beth
marn-HoIlwes at time when he was
assuring the world that Germany had
no intention of annexing Belgium.
According to the documents Ger
many ordered systematic destruction
of Belgian machinery last spring. At
first Instructions were issued to carry
off the machinery. Later as trans
portation became taxed, orders were
issued to smash all machinery that
could not be moved easily.
The Belgians are In quandary as
to where to begin reconstruction
work. They want to reopen their
mills and factories, but lack Of ma.
chinery and their railways and canals
are so badly damaged az to affect
