The Truth About Belgium
. BY BRAND WHITLOCK ”
(Continued from Last Issue)
AS in the depressing business of
looking over my notes and of
reading memoranda that wert
furnished me at the time, i
Ine over again those terrible days
of the autumn and winter of 1916,
with their darkness and their bitter
cold and their hourly tale of horror
I wonder how we ex er lived throush
them all.
The pitiless and insensate cruelty,
the brutal Indifference to all human
rights and human dignity that char
acterized this restoration of human
slavery in our time, the violence to
every moral sentiment and the strain
upon the sympathies imposed by the
ruthless deeds that marked it, made
those days in many ways the saddest
that Belgium up to that time had en
dured.
There were no words for it then;
there are none now. I could only
write to my government that it was
enough to cause one to despair of the
future of the human race, and 1
found words weak and inadequate
to the expression of all I felt, all I
suffered, and knew something like
shame that I could write calmly of
it at all in the cold and formal terms
of an official report.
Better. I often thought, yield to the
constant and importunate temptation
to cry out against it in some hot and
sudden sash of rage and indignation
to have done with the too polite ex
pressions of diplomacy; to call
things, for once in the world, by
their right names—when one meant
slavery, to say slavery, instead of
deportations. But we were still of
ficially neutral, we of America, and
in any position of public responsi
bility one must think of many things
at a time. And there was always
the relief work to which I had clung,
that those poor wronged people might
at least have their daily bread, that
the brave little race that had had the
excruciating and immortal aonor to
stand in history as the syml»ol of the
greatest of its wrong, might live, and
with it the liberty which it had con
quered so long before and in which
it had felt itself so secure.
The policy of carrying off into
slavery the people of a conquered
territory, which in our stupendous
illusion we could associate with no
other national Ij’ organized people
since mankind had emerged from the
long darkness of tne Middle Ages
was characteristic of the military
chiefs who celebrated their accession
to undisputed power in Germany by
its inauguration, and they carried tt
out amid the amazement and horror
of the civilized world, with brutal
accompaniments that affirmed the es
sentially savage qualities of thel’
creed. And that no hideous detail
might be wanting, with a face ot
brass thev justified it by hypocrasles

THE ATLANTA SEW-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10. 1018
that were as revolting as the acta
they sought to excuse.
The account of the work of those
gray press-gangs in any one of the
lovely little villages of Flanders or
Brabant might have served as a re
sume of what went on everywhere,
if it were not for the fact that the
slight difference in detail and meth
od, making the varied taste and the
virtuosity in cruelty of those in com
mand of the various localities
throws a flood of light on the es
sentially irresponsible nature of the
whole German organization.
Lying Pretense
The earlier pretense that they were
taking only those men who were liv
ing in idleness on the charity of then
absent government was abandonee!
even as soon as the excuse was put
torth. tt is perhaps well that it was,
since that position was as untenable
under international law and the code
of morals professed by every nation
that had a sovereign and a seal, as
the indiscriminate slave-driving that
followed.
The excuse that the men wished to
labor was equally stupid and void,
for the men would not work when
offered it, and, as will be seen, were
not even shown the consideration in
spired by those economic motives,
when human motives ■were wanting,
that used to lead masters to feed
their slaves sufficiently to support
them in a physical state tit for la
bor. And if, among the intellectual
classes or among the working men,
among the journalists or preachers
or professors, or among the Social
ists who. on the avengel of Karl
Marx, had founded a theory not only
of the dignity and freedom and in
ternational fraternity and solidarity
of labor, but had based a claim to
dominate it then and now—if among
those there was any objection or
opposition, any moral repugnance
anywhere in the German nation, then
or later, it never found, so far as I
know, any public voice or utterance.
I was told that Bissing disapproved,
and that certain of his henchmen
disapproved, and I heard stories to
the effect that soldiers in executing
orders actually wept at the scenes
they were compelled to witness, and
that even officers turned away in
shame, but no one ever gave any
public expression to the sentiments
that did them sucn unusual credit.
The policy, in difiance, one would
say. of the conventions of The Hague
if it did not seem ridiculous to invoke
again those mutilated charters
wherein short years ago we thought
to record the progress of the human
species, had been instituted, as early
as 11*15 in the zone of operations,
that inferno whose history will not
be written until its rightful occu
pants shall have been released to re
count their hideous sufferings. But
that was not surprising; anything
was to be expected of the war zone.
It spread up into the lowlands of
Flanders, where old men of the
Landstrum were quartered in peas
ants* houmes, living in some sort of
understanding by which they got on
well enough, carrying water for the
housewives, helping -i.ith the chores,
able to converse in those vocables
that are so much alike in Flemish
and in Low German, and perhaps
paving the way. as blessing shrewdly
divined, to some sort of an under
standing with the population, which
he hoped, by his subtle schemes, to
turn to the imperial advantage later
on.
I have given perhaps, in dwelling
so long on personal events of far less
importance than the great tragedy to
which they were ancillary, some
glimpse of what was going on in
those obscure villages where the
slavegangs were plying their hideous
and heinous trade. We had, indeed,
ourselves, only glimpses, for news,
when It dealt with Germafi deeds,
traveled slowly and circumspectly in
Belgium in those days, and the de
tails were long in reiching us. They
came in slowly, bit by bit, and even
then do not tell of the dreadful story
that some day will be told in Bel
gium
There lies before me as I write a
lettei. written in Flemish by the sis
ter of the cook in a certain home in
Brussels. The woman who penned
it sent it, as its contents reveal, by
stealth from her village in Flanders
and the master of the house where
its recipient worked gave it to me.
I cannot read it in the original, but
It was translated for me, literally,
word for word, out of its poor faulty
Flemish into French, ana from the
French I have tried tn put it into
English, as literally as may be, so
that it might retain some flavor of
its original. To me it has all the
pathos that Is part of the fate of
the poor in all lands. It gives an im
pression. however vague, of the sor
row and despair that were in a’l
those little cots with the red tiles
scattered over Belgium. This is the
letter;
“Dear Sister:—l write yon these
few lines to let you know that wt
are all in good health and hope yov.
are the same. I have lots of news
for you. but it is not very good. With
out doubt you have already heard
that the young men who were liv
ing on the committee have had to go
away to work but without knowing
where. They say thev must gc to
work in Germany. Saturday Albert
leceived his letter and Franz of
your brother Alois also.
“You can imagine that tt was not
very agreeable to us to see them
■ill go away like that. Just think,
four hundred and sixtv-five boys
from Tamme alone, and Monday they
: 11 had to go to Termonde, and there
they locked them up with twenty
eight hundred others in the barracks
until now. Thursday. This morning
they went away on the train we
think for Germany, but we don't
know yet. Sunday we sewed all day
to prepare their clothes, which they
must take with them —tw’O working
suits, two shirts, two nairs of sock°
two vests, a towel, a hov.*i to eat
out of. a fork, a spoon, a knite, and
a lot of little things, and enough
to eat for two days. They had to
have all that.
“So you may see what sad days we
have passed this week. Last Sunday
we ran from one shop to another to
buy the clothes, and everything is
so terribly dear. If we nad known
all that in advance we could have
asked the committee. Th°y nave not
taken all the workers; whether they
have to go or not we don t know
The saddest of all is that at Ter
monde thev received so little to eat.
Alice and her father went to Tcr
monde for two days with a little
bread, but they could not even get
it to the boys. .
“Everybody was there with food
Thev sat all day long before the bar
racks, but they could not get tne.r
packages in because of the Germans,
and Wednesday morning very early
thev went back to Termor.de and
then they gave their packages from
Hamme to the game-keeper and hi
was able to get them in, but Alice
ind her father were not able to get
very near, but all the same he got
his package. Just think what it was
down there at Termonde with all
those people who could not see tneir
bovs. There are some who gave up
their last mouthful of bread and all
the money they had to give it to
their children. So dear sister it Is
the same thing with our Albert, and
I had to buy it all without
giving me a penny; but I could not
let him go without a pennv in his
nocket The Ovirstraetens. tnev
gave him a comforter: without that
I would have had to buy it myself.
“So vou can whal it was. All these
bovs had to run with that sort of
package on their back. They say they
will be able to write. I don t know
whether it is true. As SOO P 1
know where they’ are I shall let you
know. Now I’m going to close and I
shall wait for a reply by D. G.. who
will give this letter to you. and I hope
that madame received my other let
ter that I sent her a fortnight ago.
“Now my compliments to monsieur
and madam and to the children of
Alice and of us all. Your sister,
“LEONTINE.”
This letter was written in the first
days, when the seizures were all in
Flanders —remote, inaccessible. In
communicado, governed by the whim
of colonels and sergeant majors and
district administrators. It began
there as I have said; Helfferich had
just made his declaration on forced
labor in the occupied territories in
the reichstag. where it was received
with docile acquiescence. I remembj
how at the time I imagined w-hat
would happen if Mr. Lloyd George
should arise in the house of com
mons, or Mr. Kitchin in the house
of congress and casually announce
that the government had decided to
seize men in their homes, deport
them to another land, and set them
to work in mines, and quarries and
factories!
Germans Examine Their “Slavea”
The declaration in the reichstag
was hardly made before the notices
were posted all over Flanders order
ing the men to report. The very next
day the rien were sent aw’ay—“God
knows where,” said the man who
brought in the news. He came with
the story of Alost. There the men
“capable of bearing arms —nothing
was said there about chomeurs —were
summoned by’ proclamation on
Thursday, October 12, to present
themselves the following day. About
1,700 men between the ages of
eighteen and thirty-five were assem
bled. They were examined by the
Germans precisely as slaves would
be examined in the slave market
their muscles pinched and tested,
and about 400 who appeared physl
cally unfit were eliminated. The re
maining 1,300 were locked up at Alost
and a second examination eliminated
about 300 more. The 1,000 who re
mained were imprisoned and the
military authorities by force com
pelled the burgomaster to announce
to them that they need not fear
that they would be utilized only for
work on the railways. The men were
then released and told to appear on
the 16th, bringing certain clothes and
effects.
On the sixteenth, however Instead,
of the thousand only four or six
hundred appeared. Os these the mar
ried men were released and the re
maining four hundred were given a
paper to sign. The naper was In
German and the military refused to
translate it or explain its contents.

Restrictions on Short
Selling of Cotton Has
Been Entirely Removed
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 9.—Following tele
gram received by the New Orleans cotton ex
change:
Please rend from the rostrum of your ex
change before the opening Monday morning,
post on the bulletin board and send to each
member firm carrying contracts, the fol
lowing notice:
The prohibition of foreign and speculative
short selling of contracts on the New York
and New Orleans cotton exchanges ordered
by the committee cotton distribution on No
vember 13, was an emergency measure.
The conditions that existed following the
signing of the armistice have been relieved
and the emergency has passed.
Our government having made trade agree
ments with neutral nations the export of
cotton to all but enemy countries is now as
sured.
Available tonnage in sufficient quantity
to allow of exports fully 50 per cent in ex
cess of last season's shipments is more than
probable.
The requirements of the spinners and man
ufacturers can now be bought and moved
without war time restrictions.
Confidence is restored and under the cir
cumstances the restrictions placed on the
New York and New Orleans cotton ex
changes on November 13. are hereby re
moved.
The committee wishes to express to the
officers and members of the New Orleans
and New .York cotton exchanges its sin
cere appreciation of the splendid spirit of
co-operation and helpfulness exhibited by
them in making effective the orders of the
committee.

The tnen. all of them, refused to
sign, and were again locked >tp.
What happened after that the man
did not know, but two trains filled
with young men went away and the
young men were singing ‘La Bra
banconne” and “De Leeuw van Vlaan
deren.” (“The Lion of Flanders.”)
The paper the men were asked to
sign was, no doubt, a contract to labor
which would invest the transaction
with the innocent and legal aspect
of a contract for voluntary employ
ment. The Germans laid great stress
on this contract in the earlier days
of the press; they sought oy threats,
by cuffs and blows of gun stocks, tc
force the men to sign it. and fre
quently tried hunger—indeed, did
starve some of the men into signing
it —and exhibited the contracts after
wards as proof of the Belgian will
ingness to work.

COTTON
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—The feature in the
early cotton market today was the an
nouncement that the prohibition on specula
tive shi rt selling had been removed by the
committee on cotton distribution. The mar
ket ojtened steady at a decline of 28 to 40
points under a continuation of the realizing
movement which had been in progress at
the close on Saturday. There may also
have teen some scattered selling on the
reports of labor troubles in Lancashire
and curtailed production in some of the
New England mills but the offerings were
quickly absorbed and the active months
sold 12 to 20 points net higher shortly
after the call. January advanced from
26.10 to 26.75 and March from 25.03 to
25.60. The census r?]H>rt showing 9,563.'24
bales ginned to, December was about in line
with expectations and the removal of short
selling restricticns seemed to promote a more
confident feeling.
The early advance met increased offerings
during the middle of the morning, although
there was no change in the general char
acter of the news. Brokers with Japanese
connections were sellers, while there was
also selling here for Liverpool accounts,
which probably had been held up while thet
restrictions were in force. January cots-l
tracts sold back to 26.10 and most of the
other months made new low ground for -he
day with March selling at 25.00, or 43
to 45 points net lower.
The market turned firmer enrly in the
afternoon on reports that trade buying had
been largely responsible for the earlier ab
sorption of offerings and covering by early
sellers. January sold up to 26.60 c and
March to 25.40 c or about 45 to 60 points
above the low level. This bulge met re
newed realizing, however, and later fluctua
tions were extremely nervous and irregu
lar.
Market closed barely steady. 5 to 20 points
down.

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 9.—The rescinding
df the government’s order prohibiting spec
ulative short selling was the main feature
of the early session in cotton today. On the
opening offerings were heavy and prices
were sent 32 to 40 points under the close of
last week. The bullish showing of ginning
returns, indicating an output this last pe
riod of only 882,000 bales, against 919,000
the same period last year, gave the market
strength and a quick recovery resulted. 4t
the end of the first half hour of business
prices were 10 to 15 points over Saturday’s
finals.
Liquidation entered the market and at
noon prices were 45 to 62 points under the
close of Saturday.
Moderate new buying appeared and at 1
o’clock prices were at a net decline of
23 to 25 points.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 9.—The removal
of the order against short selling came is a
big surprise to the cotton trade today. No
great amount of selling developed and
much of what was seen was in the way of
liquidation. The market was steadied by
the bullish showing of the ginning report
and by general expectations that the govern
ment's crop estimate on Wednesday will be
low.
We do not believe declines can be main
tained under the circumstances.

JNO. F. CLARK & CO. COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 10.—Our market
opened as much as 40 points lower, partly
on hedge selling against some spot pur
chases over Sunday, buyers finding more
disposition to trade, and then on short sell
ing based on the bearish reputation of feel
ing in other quarters. However, the bull
ish ginnersf report could not fall to claim
some attention and respect and the mar
ket soon recovered all losses. It assumed
a waiting aspect toward the second hour
and sagged a little on dullness. The gov
ernment estimate on Wednesday will set
tle the present difference of opinion on the
crop, a good many people still believing in
twelve million without linters, and will give
the trade a more definite trading basis.
The present price level seems low enough
considering supply and consumption pros
pects.

LETTER
( Hit AGO, Dec. 9.—Corn—lt was apparent
from the first that the corn maraei had
fully aniicii>ated receipts as offerings were
noticeably limited in number and quantity.
Sentiment locally was in favor of lower
prices because of the liberal receipts and
early weakness in the cash market. A bet
,ter demand appeared for the earlots, values
quickly recovering to two to three cents ot
; the early decline. This fact, together with
tailing off in country offerings, prompted
buying by previous sellers. Cash market
closes firm with prices one to two cents
lower than Saturday’s low. point, but the
level of values is considerably above the
deterred deliveries. The No. 4 grades ot
corn, which are deliverable at 4% to 5
cents discount on the January, closed around
$1.36. The government will give au esti
mate of total production on Wednesday
next. 1 tis well to keep in mind that the
husking returns are a disappointment. Sen
timent still favors lowers prices but the
producers are apparently influenced by the
food administration warnings ot world
conditions and is a seller in a leisurely way
aud only on strong spots. Market still
takes its cue from cash prices.
Oats—Export inquiry wa sagain in the
oat market with some business claimed to
have been done at outside pointe. Domes
tic uemand was considerably improved. Sales
made public. 115,000. There is no increase
in country offerings and there Is sufficient
demand in an export way and against pre
vious sales to keep current arrivals at good
premium.
