HUNS STILL BRUTAL. | More Stories of Cruelty From Invaded Countries, Reuter's has received from a trust- worthy Belgian citizen, who has just | reached London from the German military zone at Valenciennes, an ac- count of the terrible condition exist. ing In the occuped districts of France, from which practically no news ever reaches England. For sufficient rea- gong it cannot be stated how this man escaped. He still bears traces of a heavy blow on the jaw, and showed Reuter's representative a handful of natural teeth which had been knock- ed out by the bift-end of a German guard's rifle. He said: "I'he Germans have organized a slavery army in the zone of Northern Franée, When I left St. Amand a few weeks age conditions were un- bearable, All the men between the ages of 17 and 50 had besn taken away. Unmarried women under 40 are obliged to work in the delds, while little girls, 12 to 14, must col- iect acorns and nettles. "Everywhere you meet civillans working under armed guards. Every- one wears a brassard showing the town he comes from, Semé wear a brassard around the leg showing that he tried to escape. 1 saw an old man with & large cross painted on his back. 1 knew what that signified. If you refuse to work you are fined; if you refuse to pay the fine you are imprisoned. If you refuse a second time you are sent to Germany, from where one seldom comes back alive. "Beside civilian prisoners, the Ger- mans have great numbers of war prisoners behind. the lines, working under terrible conditions. The Eng- lish are especially badly treated. All want food, but the sufferings of the Rupsiang owing to lack of food are awful, Tt was while I was endeavor ing to give a starving Russian a lit- tle of my own small supply of food that the guard knocked out my teeth." it 4s known that the Germans re: quisition everything, but few realize what this means. Reuter's informant told how clocks, even domestic clocks, and lamps, are broken up for copper; mattresses are ripped for wool; sacks and clothes are seized, Farmers sud peadants must declare everything. "1 have geen ople dragged fo prison," he sald, "for hiding a pound of potatoes. Hiding om egg involves a fine of five marks. One Womazh was deported to Germany for keeping three pigéons, Another was sentent- ed to fourteen months for hiding an Alsatian refugee. The later was Im- mediately killed by a non-com. Who struck another woman with such vio- lence that she became déaf. A Itt girl was shot dead without warning because she crossed the Franco-Bel- gian frontier for bread." This informant had dates and the names of the people in all cases In his possession. He said that these were only a few examples.
