WHAT A GERMAN RULE MEANS TO THE PEOPLE Conquered Territory Systematically Kxploltcd Under tlie Ilathenuu I'luii. Washington, I). C., April 25.? The systematic exploitation of Belgium by the Germans under the sotailed "Rathenau Plan" is revealed for the first time to the American people in the latest publication of the Committee on Public Information, issued today, entitled "German Treatment of Conquered Territory. It is based upon unpublished reports i to our department of state, and I other sources as yet little known in this country, and presents an appalling record of calculated German greed and brutality. Much of the most damning evidence is derived from the oflicial orders and other utterances of the Germans themselves. The Itathenau plan was suggested early in August, 1914. by Dr. Walter Hathenau, president of the General Electric company of Germany. It consisted essentially in the forma 11iuiii uuuer ins direction, of a bureau to procure an unfailing supply of essential raw materials for- the war, such as rubber, saltpetre, metals, etc., both by purchase in neutral markets and by seizure in occupied territories. Secretly a more dastardly purpose was pursued. "The plan aimed not merely at making war support war by contributions and requisitions forced from the conquered peoples. It also sought to destroy the industries among the subject peoples so that it might not be possible to build up again for some years, if at all. In the meantime, the German authorities counted upon their ability to capture the markets of the world for their own wares." As an example of the deliberate crushing of Belgian competition, the case of the glass industry is cited. i ins whs one or tne most nourishing industries of Belgium before thf war, and German glass manufacturers could not compete with it in tht export trade. In the words of tlu head of the German organization ol glass manufacturers, "It became vital to the German manufacturers o! glasswares that the Belgian manu|| Life |!| || Was a Ml II Misery II Mrs. F.

Seizure of Belgian ter trade secrets was another feature suff of this typically German plan. enf The extent to which Belgium has cau been denuded of its wealth, war ma- fUl' terials, machinery, means of trans- ma port and man power under this iniquitous plan is almost unbelievable.

Belgian draft horses, the best in the world, were seized and sent to Germany to be sold to German farm- 001 ers. A long list compiled from the German official ordinances is given of the articles ordered seized in Hal Pa< giuni. It comprises some 1100 sep- ios at ate items, listed under such head- i('a ings as minerals and metals, chemi- an? cals, machinery, food, clothing, tex-i^d tiles, household articles, old mate- j Sei rial, oils and explosives, metal pro- wai I ducts for industrial establishments,, Bit I medical supplies, etc. The articles .aro range from tungsten steel to ground | ce" stag. from electric condensers and a'h conductors to printer's slugs and matrices, from all grains for bread- so making to oat straw, from both tubs j ner to stair-carpet rods ami doorknobs, I oas from old rags to the skins, horns, ^ei feet, bones and carcasses of horses, nie: calves, goats, rabbits, and dogs.
