Solemn Promises Made to Bel
gians Proved to Be Worse
Than Worthless.
ALL APPEALS WERE FLOUTED
Pathetic and Dignified Supplications of
Municipal Governments Answered
by Rebuke and Heavy Fin
Imposed by General Hopfer.
Over the earnest protest of Cardi
nal Mercier, heroic head of the
church in Belgium, the terrible
plans of the kaiser's high officers
concerning the deportation' of the
people were carried out. The sol
emnly plcdgedtword of the German
governor general of Belgium Count
ed 3 nothing in the malignant hate
shown by the kaiser's creatures.
Curdlnul Mercier attempted to per
suade the German authorities to abun
lon their terrible plans for the seizure
of Belgium to assist In the prosecu
tion of the war, reminding them of
their solemn promises In the past:
"Mulines, 19th October, 1916.
"Mr. Governor General :
"The day' after the surrender of Ant
werp the frightened population asked
Itself what would become of the Bel
gians of age to bear arms or who would
reach that uge before the end of the
occupation. Tho enTTTjatles of the fa
thers and mothers of families deter
mined me to question the governor of
Antwerp, Baron von Huene, who had
the kindness to reassure me and to
authorize me In his name to reassure
the usonlzed pureuts. The rumor had
spread at Antwerp, nevertheless, that
nt Liege,' Numur, nnd ChaThrol young
men hud been seized and tuken by
force to Germany. I therefore beg
ged Governor vou Huene to be good
enough to confirm to me in writing the
guarantee which he had given to me
orally, to the effect that nothing sim
ilar would happen at Antwerp. He
said to me Immediately that the ru
mors concerning deportations were
without busts, and unhesitatingly he
sent me In writing, among other state
ments, the following: 'Young men have
no reason to fear that thc-y will be ta
ken to Germany, cither to be there en
rolled in the army or employed for
forced labor.
' "This declaration, written, and sign
ed, was publicly trnnamltteo to the
clergy and to those of the faith of
the province of'Antwerp, as your excel
lency can see from the document en
closed herewith, dated October 16th,
1014, which was rend in all the church
es. Solemn German Promises Broken.
"Upon the arrival of your predeces
sor, the late Baron von der Goltz, at
Brussels I had the honor of presenting
myself at his house and requested him
to be good enough to ratify for the en
tire country, without time limit, the
guarantees which General von Huene
had given me for the province of Ant
werp. The governor general retained
this Request in his possession In order
to examine It at bis leisure. The fol-
lowing day he was good enough to
come in person to Ma lines to bring me
his approval, and confirmed to me, in ;
the presence of two uides-de-camp and
of my private ecretury, the promise
that tbe liberty of Belgian citizens
would be respected. '
"To doubt the authority of such un
dertakings would have been to reflect
uptm the persons who had made them,
and I therefore took steps to allay, by
all the means of persuasion In my
jwver, the anxieties which persisted In
the interested families.
"Notwithstanding all this, your gov
ernment now tears from their homes

forts to a state of unemployment, sep
arates them by force-froin their wives

threatened with the same acts of vio
lence. ... ,. - ... -. ... v - -rrv-M

In the name of the word given by the
' governor of the Province of Antwerp
and by the governor general, the im
mediate representative of the highest
authority of the German empire I re-
1 spectfully beg your excellency to be
'good enough to withdraw the measures
of forced labor and of deportation an
nounced to the Belgian workmen, and
to be good enough to reinstate in their

deported.

the responsibility .that I would have
to bear as regards these families, If

quest were lamentably deceived.

"The municipal council resolves to
maintain Its attitude of refusal.
"It further feels It its duty to place
on record the following :
"The city of Tournul Is prepared to
submit unreservedly to nil the exigen
cies authorised by the laws and cus
toms of war. Its sincerity cannot be
questioned For more than two years
it has submitted to the German occu
pation; during which time it has lodged
and lived at close quarters with the
German troops, yet it has displayed
perfect composure and has refrained
from any act of hostility, proving
thereby that it Is animated by no idle
spirit of bravado.
"In his declaration dated September
2, 3014, the German governor general
of Belgium declared: 'I ask none to
renounce his patriotic sentiments.'
"The city of Tournai reposes con
fidence in this decaration, which It Is
bound to consider ns the sentiment of
the German emperor, In whose name
the governor general was speaking. In
accepting the inspiration of honor nnd
patriotism, the city Is loyal to a funda
mental duty, the loftiness of which
must be'apparent to any German offi
cer. "The city Is confident that the
straightforwardness and cleurness of
this attitude will prevent any misun
derstanding arising between Itself nnd
the German army."

"Tournai, 23rd October, 1916.
"In permitting itself, through the
medium, of municipal resolutions, to
oppose the orders of the German mili

"Excellency: The measures which

work for the Invading power, the de
portation of our unhnppy comrades
which has begun In the region of the
rtapes, move most profoundly the en

; "ot fulfilled their duty did they not ex-
press to you the painful sentiment
which agitate the laborers and convey
to you the echo of their touching com
plaints. "They, have seen the machinery
taken from their factories, the most
diverse kind of raw materials requisi
tioned, the accumulation of obstacles
to prevent the resumption of regular
work, the, disappearance one by one of
every public liberty of which they were
proud.
"For more than two years the la
boring class more than any other has
been forced to nndergo the most bit

Pathetic Appeal Disregarded.
"Our laboring class lias endured
everything with t,he utmost calm and
the most Impressive dignity, repressing
Its sufferings, its complaints and heavy
trials? sacrificing everything to its
ideal of liberty and ladopeadence. But
the measures which have been an
nounced will make the population drain
the dregs (of the cup) of human sor
row; the proletariat,-the poor upon
whom unemployment has been forced,
citizens of a modern state, are to txi
condemned to forced labor without

order.
"In the name of the families of
workmen 'among which the most pain
ful anxiety reigns at present, whose
mothers, -whose fiancees, and whose
little children are destined to shed so
manj more tears, we beg your excel
lency to prevent the accomplishment
of 'this' painful act, contrary to in
ternational law, tontrary to the dig

to everything which makes for worth
and rreatneas in human natrue.

ST. PAUL ITEMS.
Salisbury, Feb. 1L Mr. George H.
Glover, one of our best young farm
ers, is spending this week on his farm
in Moore county. Mr. Glover is be
coming much interested in, fruit grow
ing, and has purchased a farm in
Moore where he has several hundred
peach trees. His purpose this week
is to 'have these trees pruned and
sprayed.
The severe weathe'r of the winter
almost ruined the road3 in this sec
tion, but the sunshine of the past week
has improved them very much, and
this together with the fact that the
people of this community went to
gether, combined teams, used the
"split log drag," has put our roads in
fairly good ehape.
The Reading Circle, of the Woman's
Missionary Society, recently organ
ized, held a most interesting and prof
itable meeting last 'Saturday after
noon at the parsonage. The Circle
will meet twice each month, and take
up mission studies, dealing with Japan
and other mission fields. The prime
purpose of the work is educational.
Mr. C. F. Young is .kept busy these
days pruning and spraying fruit
trees. Mr. Young has given much
study to this important subject, hav
ing made it a leading study while in
the A. and M. College at Raleigh. He
is perhaps the best fitted man for this
class of work in Rowan county. In
additien to his knowledge of the art
of pruning, he is thoroughly familiar
with the diseases affecting both trees
and fruit. He has a splendid outfit
for this purpose, and is contemplat
ing toe purchase of additional equip
ment, such as power spray pumps.
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Carter of Spen
cer have moved into their new home,
"Mullwood," the late home of Mr. C.
N. Brown. This community welcomes
these good people to the neighbor
hod. The Young People's Missionary So
ciety of St. Paul's will have a social
gathering at the parsonage Thursday
night, the 14th. A program is being
arranged for the occasion, and it is
looked forward to with iintieioatlon

HEM MEAT EATERS
Eat Less meat if you feel Backachy
or have Bladder
toruble.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the Sidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the
kidneys, they become overworked
from the strain, get sluggish and fail i
to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou
ble, nervousness, dizziness, sleepless
ness and urinary disorders come from
sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts ot
if the urine isxcloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy; take a tablespoonfufin a glass
of water before breakfast and in
few days your kidneys n ill act fine.
This, famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
lor generatioas to flush and stimu
late the itidncys, also to neutralize
the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending blad
der weakness. '
Jad Salts is inexpensive andvean
not injure; makes a delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink which ev
eryone shouid take now and then to
keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications. . -.
