Seething Spirit of ludi^nLloti I*
Swwplnu Over Belgium. Men Are
Taken from Their Hotne? Without
Any Warning.
(By United Press)
Amsterdam. ? Thirty thousand
Belgians, from Antwerp alone, have
been torn from their homes and have
been sent to labor in German indus
trial plants, according to the Belgian
press.
Thousands of other Belgians, from
various parts of that country, have
also been taken In by the German
soldiers and have been sent over In
to Germany. In many cases great
suffering has followed for the depen
dent families of the men who were
seized.
A seething spirit of indignation Is
sweeping over Belgium but up to the
present no action has been taken ex
cepting through the papers. The '
more vigorous of these have beqp or
dered to suHpend publication.
There are hundreds of German sol
diers throughout Belgium, according
to the report, who are canvasing the
country for those men who are phy
sically fit to work in German plants.
In many cases these soldiers come
upon a man's farm, enter his home
and then take him away without al
lowing hlii) more than a brief fare
