bE[G|ANS DO NOT
FORGIVE GERMANS
LAW PROPOSED TO DEPRIVE
TEUTON SYMPATHIZERS
OF CIVIL RIGHTS

BRUSSELS, Oct. 31.-Although
It is now many months since peace
was signed, there are indications
each day in Brussels and elsewhere
that the Belgians are not yet ready
to forgive and forget" the German
invasion and occupation. There is
a demand that the German words
on the German passenger
cars which one sees on Belgian
lines be changed and replaced by
French.
German traitors are still being
tried while business men are up in
arms against Belgians who fur
nished the enemy with goods dur
ing the occupation. The government
needs resources and it is proposed
to tax these unpatriotic persons 80
to 40 per cent Of the amounts in
volved in the provisioning of the
late enemy. These business men
who have addressed a formal letter
to the government also say that
these persons whom they character
ize as traitors" are also receiving
government contracts and they wan
a stop put to it. Some OF the So
cialist ministers also are being at
tackled in the press for their un-
energetic attitude toward the Ger
mans. The electoral campaign is
on and some of these ministers are
seeking reelection.
A law is being urged to deprive
of civil rights all persons who dealt
with the enemy. These are only a
few instances of which there are
many showing the state of mind OF
the Belgians.

RAILROAD EQUIPMENT IN BAD CONDITION

has been far higher than ever be-
fore. A deficit has been rolled up
and the railroads themselves have
greatly d~eteriorated.
This declaration by the director
general confirms what the railroad
executives had previously told con-
gress in their earnest warning that
not only must there be legislation
for the return of the railroads, but
also this legislation must be such
as to make 1t sure that investment
in railroad securities would be at
tractive to the pubic. The old re-
agreements Of $5O0,0 900 900 a year
for normal betterment work are no
longer sufficient. as materials and
labor have about doubled in cost.
A billion dollars a year. therefore,
would be nearer the normal require
ments and, as the federsl railroad
administration remarks, eve nor
NAL requirements have not been met
during the last three years. Mr..
Hines makes it quite clear that
without new equipment and without
early legislation upon which new
construction and planning can be
based, there is grave danger of a
1920 condition so serious as to af-
feet not only the railroads, but also
all industries which depend upon
the railroads for transportation.
Up to date Director General Hines
has declined to initiate rate changes
which will make, possible the elm
ination of the present serious de-
! ficit under the standard return,
which was arrived at by striking a
three year average of railroad oper-
ations under private management.
During July and August a slight
surplus was exhibited, but these fig
ures did not include the recent wage
increases granted the shopmen and
were a fractional part of the accrued
deficit. Current estimates of the
| ultimate deficit to be shown by the
| government as a result of it's two
year experiments in operation are in
J the neighborhood of $500. 200.

DARK FUTURE FOR
GERMAN SHIPPERS
LOVE OF INDUSTRIES AND coll
ONIES TO BE SERIOUS
FEATURE

HAMBURG, Nov. IA very pess-
imistic view of the future of Ger
man seafaring is drawn by Herr
Heinekin director general of the
North German Lloyd, in the new
year book of the line.
"Out OF the destruction of the
whole German economic situation as
1t is determined by the peace docu-
ment, the destruction of Germany's
shipping follows as a matter of
course" he writes. AS two of the
chief losses sustained by German
shipping, he cites the reduction of
German territory and "the transfer
of German railroads to foreign in
terests," so that, he says. the Rhine
shipping in part, the Vistula ship
ping entirely, m under foreign
control.
Loss Of industries such as the pot
ash works in Alsace, the textile fac
tories and iron mines in Lorraine
and Luxembourg. he declares, will be
heavily felt by German shipping be-
cause these industries will direct
their imports and exports by way
of Antwerp or French harbors, and
will be taken care of by Belgian or
French firms, which makes 1t out
of question to use German ships.
Herr Heinekin adds:
Then there must be figured the
huge material sacrifices that Ger
many has had burdened upon her
by giving up all her overseas pos
sessions and rights, by the provis-
ions of the entente by which she
must make reparations, by the for
eign prize court verdicts, and fin
ally by the clause that all German
property abroad need be reckoned
at the peace rate.
Germany has been robbed of all
it's overseas facilities and shipping
! quarters abroad. When all privi-
leges, advantages and concessions
| which Germany had in China, have
been annulled. when the German
rights in Siam, Liberia, Morocco
and Egypt have been declared void,
when German property is l~iquidated
in these countries, when finally the
urgently necessary foreign news
service is crippled by taking away
| the German cable. it is the German
shipping that is the chief sufferer
