the Gare du Midi about 750 responded.
These were examined by German
physicians and 300 were taken. There
was no disorder, a large force of

crowds and barring access to the sta- j
tion to all but those who had been
summoned to appear. The Commission
for Relief in Belgium had
secured permission to give to each
deported man a loaf of bread, and
some of the communes provided
warm clothing for those who had
+ none and in addition a small financial
allowance. As by one of the ironies
of life the winter has been more excessively
cold than Belgium has ever
^ known it, and while many of those
L? who presented themselves were adequately
protected against the cold,
many of them were without overcoats.
The men shivering from cold
and fear, the parting from weeping
wives and children, the barriers of
brutal Uhlans, all this made the
scene a pitiable and distressing one.
"It was understood that the seizures
would continue here in Brusp
sels, but on Thursday last, a bitter
cold day, those that had been convoked
were sent home without ex
amination. It is supposed that the
severe weather has moved the Germans
to postpone the deportations."
Cardinal Mercier attempted to persuade
the Germans authorities to
*
abandon their terrible plans, reminding
them of their solemn promises
in the past:
"Malines, 19th October, 1916.
"Mr. Governor General:
"The day after the surrender of
Antwerp the frightened population
asked itself what would become of
the Belgians of age to bear arms or
who would reach that age before the
end of the occupation. The entreaties
of the fathers and mothers of
families determined 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 agonized
parents. The rumor had spread at
Antwerp, nevertheless, that at Liege,
Mamur, and Charleroi young men had
been seized and taken by force to
Germany. I therefore begged Governor
von 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
similar would happen at Antwerp.
He said to me immediately that the
rumors concerning deportations were
without basis, and unhesitatingly he
sent me in writing, among other
statements, the following: 'Young
men have no reason to fear that they
will be taken to Germany, either to
be there enrolled in the army or
employed for forced labor.'
"This declaration, written and
signed, was publicly transmitted to
the clergy and to those of the Faith
of the province of Antwerp, as Your
Excellency" can see from the document
enclosed herewith, dated October
16th, 1914, which was read in
all the churches.
"Upon the arrival of your predecessor,
the late Baron von der Goltz,
at Brussels I had the honor of presenting
myself at his house and rermoctod
Viim hA erind enoneh to
Vj UVkJ VVU. VV W Q WM - ?- ?0
ratify for the entire country, without
time limit, the guarantees which
General von Huene had given me for
the province of Antwerp. The Governor
General retained this request in
his possession in order to examine
it at his leisure. The following day
he was good enough to come in person
to Malines to bring me his approval,
and confirm to me, in the
presence of two aides-de-camp and of
my private secretary, the promise
that the liberty of Begian citizens
would be respected.
"To doubt the authority of such
undertakings would have been to
reflect upon the persons who had
made them, and I therefore took steps
to allay, by all the means of persuasion
in my power, the anxieties which
persisted in the interested families.
"Notwithstanding all this, your
Government now tears from their
homes workmen reduced in spite of
their efforts to a state of unemployment,
separates them by force from
their wives and children and deports
them to enemy territory. Numerous
workmen have already undergone
this unhappy lot; more numerous
are those who are threatened with
the same actsiof violence.
Mercier's Moving Appeal.
"In the name of the liberty of do-i
micile and the liberty of work of
Belgian citizens; in the name of the
!-%- - * J *1
mvioiaoiiuy ui lamum, iu mc uamc
of moral interests which the measures
of deportation would gravely
compromise; in the name of the
word given by the Governor of the
province of Antwerp and by the Governor
General, the immediate representative
of the highest authority of
the German Empire, I respectfully beg
Your Excellency to be good enough
to withdraw the measures of forced
labor and of deportation announced
to the Belgian workmen, and to be
good enough to reinstate in their
homes those who have already been
deported.
"Your Excellency will appreciate
how painful for me would be the
weight of the responsibility that I
would have to bear as regards these
families, if the confidence which they
have given you through my agency
and at my .request were lamentably
deceived.
"I persist in believing that this
will not be the case.
"Accept, Mr. Governor General, the
assurance of my very high consideration.
D. J. CARDINAL MERCIER,
"Arch, of Malines."

tween clean sheets in the hospital I
thought I must be in heaven.
The records say we captured 130
prisoners in that show, but a staff
officer from my battalion told me that
he counted 310 himself. Within four
days after we took the place the
Germans counter-attacked 11 different
times, hut the Americans have
not budged an inch. Each time they
came -over our rifles piled them out
in front of us.
For a litt)e while now I am trying
to forget the war. A number of our
officers (good friends of mine) were
killed or wounded. This has not
been a good descriptive letter, because
I do not feel strong enough to
take time and pains with it. Must
close now. Love to all. Affectionately,
GERALD.
