MIS LIKE CATTLE Women Forbidden to Give Food and Clothing to Men Facing Privation and Cold United States' Appeal Unheeded. 'Conspicuous among cold-blooded acts of cruelty committed by the Germans, to their everlasting dis grace, the deportation from. Mons is prominent. Official documents pub lished by the committee on public information tell part of the harrow - ing story. .''."". '. A vivid sketch of the deportations from Mons, ordered by German author ities, drawn by a participant, may well be cited here: "I will take the 18th of November of last year 1916. A week or so be fore that u plucurd was placed on the walls telling my capital city of Mons that in seven days ull the men of that city who were not clergymen, who were not priests, who did not belong to the cit council, would be deported. "At half past five, In the gray of the morning on the 18th of November, they walked out, 6,200 men at Mons, myselfand another leading them down the cobblestones of the street and out where the rioting would be less than in the great city, with the soldiers on each side, with bayonets fixed, with the women held back. "The degradation of it ! The degra dation of it as they walked into this great market square, where the pens were erected, exactly as if they were cattle all the great men of that prov incethe lawyers, the statesmen, the heads of the trades, the men that had made the capital of Halnaut glorious during the last 20 years. "There they were collected ; no ques tion of who they were, whether they were busy or what they were doing, or what their position In life. 'Go to the right! Go to the left! Go to the right r So they were turned to the one .side or the other. "Trains were standing there ready, steaming, to take them to Germany. You saw on the one side the one brother taken, the other brother left. A hasty embrace and they were sepa rated and gone. "You saw the women In hundreds, with bundles In their hands, beseech ing to be permitted to approach the trains, to give their men the last that they had in life between themselves and starvation a small bundle of clothing to keep them warm on their way to Germany. You saw women ap proach with a bundle that had been purchased by the sale of the last of their household effects. Not one was allowed to approach to give her man the warm pair of stockings or the warm jacket, so there might be some chance of his reaching there. Off they went !" John H. Gade, In the Na tional Geographic Magazine, May, 1917. The Belgian women sent a touching appeal to Minister Whitlock: Appeal of Belgian Women. "Brussels, Nov, 18, 1916, 46 Rue de la Madeleine, "His Excellency, Mr. Brand Whitlock, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America. "Mr. Minister : "From the depths of our well of misery our supplication rises to you. "In addressing ourselves to you, we denounce to your government, as well as to our sisters, the women of the nation which you represent in our midst, the Criminal abuse of force of which our unhappy and defenseless people Is a victim. ,-. "Since the beginning of this atro cious war we have looked on impotent ly and with our hearts torn with every sorrow at terrible events which put civilization back Into the ages of the barbarlun hordes. "Mr. Minister, the crime which is now being committed under your eyes, namely, the deportation of thousands rf men compelled to work on enemy soil against the Interests of their coun try, cannot find auy shadow of excuse on the ground of military necessity, for it constitutes a violation by force of a sacred right of human conscience. Called "Monstrous Extremity. "Whatever may be the motive, it cannot be admitted that citizens may be compelled to work directly or indi rectly for the enemy against their brothers who are fighting. "The convention of The Hague has consecrated this principle. "Nevertheless, the occupying power is forcing thousands of men -to this monstrous extremity, which is con trary to morals aud international law, both these men who have already been taken to Germany and those who to morrow will undergo the same fate, If from the outside, from neutral Eu rope And the United States, no help is offered. "Ohl The Belgian women have also known how to carry out their duty in the hour of danger; they have not weakened the courage of the soldiers of honor by their tears.

In an interview with the under secretary of state for foreign affairs, Mr. Grew was handed an official statement of the German plans, which is, in translation, as fol- lows: German Camouflage. "Against the unemployed in Belgium, - who are a burden to public charity, in order to avoid friction arising there- from, compulsory measures are to be adopted to make them work so far as they are hot voluntarily Inclined to work, in accordahce with the regula- tion issued May 15, 1916, by the gov- ernor general.

UlOli aU-U lil3 will be released " Mr. Grew pointed out that the depor- tations were a breach of faith and would lniure the German pause abroad. In his official summary of the negotations which he carried on he says: . "T then H tntKe.i in Hotoii n-itt, tha under secretary of state for foreign af - fairs the unfortunate impression which this decision would make abroad, re- minding him that he measures were in principle contrary to the assurances given to th; ambassador by the chun- cellor at general headquarters last spring and dwelling on the effect which the DOliCV lllicht have on KnulHtld's lit- titude towards relief work In Belgium, I said I understood that the measures had been promulgated solely by the tersection with Gifmer Street wm military government In Belgium and creaUd a local improvement d -that I thought the matter ought at trict. and Gimjer Street, beginnin- personal attention n the light of.the oonsoquonces which the new policy would entuil. Herr Zimmermann inti mated in reply that the foreign office had very little Influence with the mill-, tarv authnritips nd that tt wna nn- likely that the new policy In Belgium could be revoked. He stated, hoxv- ever, in answer to my inquiry, that he would not disapprove of my seeing the ' chancellor about the matter." Solemn Protest by United States The formal protest of the United States was as follows: "The government of the United States has leurned vkh the greatest concern and regret of the policy of the German government to deport from Belgium a portloni of the civilian popu- lation with the fesult of forcing them to labor In Germany, and Is constrained io protest in a rnenaiy spiru dui most solemnly against this action which is In contravention of all precedent and those humane principles of Interna- uuuur wmcn nave accepted and followed by civilized ni.- tions n their treatment of noncomba- tants in conquered territory. Further- more, the government of the United States is convinced that the effect of tills rwillrv if nursiiofl will In nil nrnh. ability be fatal to the Belgian relief work, so humanelv nlannpd so snr- cessfully carried out, a result which' would be eenerallv denlnred and which, it is assumed, would seriously embarrass the German government." This protest was followed by those of the pope, the king of Spain, the government of Switzerland and other neutrals. They were of no avail, ex cept, perhaps, to lead the German au thorities to draw a tighter veil over their detestable proceedings.
