WASHINGTON, June 4. In a memorandum presented by Minister De Carticr and made public by te state department Sunday, the Belgian government assert that Germany's industrial strangulation of occupied Belgian, Polish and Lithuanian territory, followed by slavery of the conquered people, has leen carried on under a plan worked out in cold Mood during August, 1014, by Dr. W. Itathnau of Berlin. This is in answer to Germany's claim that the deportation of Belgians for enforced labor -was a military and economic necessity. lor over, replying to the German statement that deportations have ceased, it ia declared that they continue "without care for the seeds of hate that are sown in the hearts of the victims and those near and dear to them and which threaten to render all social intercourse impossible.

perhaps for centuries, between two important portions of the peoples of Europe." Ilcviows Ilclsrhims Woes. The memorandum is devoted largely to a review of the German policy toward Belgium and the latter's sufferings and most of the charges it makes already have been brought to the attention of the government by its own official representatives. In delivering it. Min

ister De Cartier said: "This document is a complete refutation of the excuses offered by the German authorities for these acts of barbarity and is a clear statement of the successive slepd by vhlch Germany has sought to brearf down the patriotic spirit of the Belgian workmen and to enslave them for work of military utility against our own fellow countrymen." Plan Systematic Exhaustion. The general headquarters at iJerlin, it is charged, decreed the systematic economic exhaustion of Belgium on the Iiathnau plan for the exploitation of all the economic resources of occupied territories by the German war machine, stifled Belgian competitive industries for the benefit of German industries by the wholesale removal of machinery and- raw material, by unjust sequestration, and by prohibitive tariffs; bled the country white by war taxes of over a million francs and by other financial disabilities; prevented relief for the unemployed thus created by forbidding public work

and technical instruction; and final-

lv made their enforced idleness the,-

excu.se for deporting them like cattle to Germany or to the firing line to serve in war work against their own brothers. Says It is Hell. "Compelled K .-oite of themselves," says il.- i- L.norandum. "to undertake hcy toil and to work outdoors during the severest season of the year, without having been trained or hardened, exposed to artillery fire, deprived of proper clothing and scarcely nourished, a multitude of these unfortunates soon fall from exhaustion and from illness. The mortality on the spot seems to be considerable. The sick and dying who can still be transported are sent home with less regard than slaves received zi antiquity from their masters, who were interested in the care of human chattels who formed a part of their riches. Through the pitiable condition of th:se repatriated Belgians there has been revealed the life which their compatriotis lead who remain behind at work. There is only one word that can describe it: 'It is hell.' "That deportations could be justified by any danger to public order is characterized as absurd. "The population has no arms." the memorandum says, "surrounded by a barrier of death dealing electric Vires, the population is literally held in a cage. All constitutional liberties, liberty of opinion, of the press, of reunion and of association, are suspended. The danger .of disorder is so remote that the German administration has maintained only relatively weak garrisons in Belgium."

TALKS MILDLY Anticipated Anti-War Talk Not Forthcoming.

News-Tim Specl.il St vice: KLKHABT, June 4. Between three and fcur hundred people gathered at McNaughton park Sunday afternoon to hear William Pat

terson or iti.ono, socialist propa i

gandist, discuss the present war situation from the viewpoint (if the socialist party and, according to advance literature, "urging the United States government to announce its war aims in definite and concrete terms," but so far as making "urgent" re.iifit ns advertised, the speaker was luke-warm in his argument as regards "definite" and "con

crete." Perhaps the presence of a large number of iecret service men, sheriff and deputies and the entire local police force had a disheartening effect on the mind of the speaker and he judiciously avoided any direct criticism of the present war standing of this country, although an under

current of the tight expressed by him showed I he antagonism of the socialist parly to the war program. Perhap3 the presence of the federal officials had a decided elYect on his nerves and he old not give the speech intended. i'atterson has had experience with the police in other cities, having been prevented from speaking in a number of cases and he fully knows what It means to advocate a rabid socialistic doctrine, and in his opening remarks he greeted the assembly with "Mr. Chairman, Comrades, Police and Service Men," and during his eniire sp ech he mildly "roasted" the federal officers and the loca' police. His entire a-gument consisted of socialistic data and commercial statistics that could be used to advantage in bringing out his point of view, and many there were in the audience who had expected that the speaker would launch forth in a denunciation oi the present war conditions md those that were responsible for them.

WOMAN SEEKS SHELTER

SENATE TO ASK FOR BOND ISSUE OF BILLION

WASHINGTON. June 4. Authorization for a billion dollar bond issue probably will be written into the house war tax bill by the senate finance committee when it completes re-drafting the measure as passed by the house. It was authoritatively stated Sunday night thai this course might be decided upon because the $1. SCO, 000, 000 which the bill as re-drafted is designed to bring in through taxation will fail by nearly a billion to provide the money needed in addition to bond issues already authorized to finance the first year of war. The proposed bonds, or a substantial part of them it Is understood, the committee would make short term

serials maturing during the next few years. This is in line with the policy of having half of the war's expense born by the r-resent generation. The ie-drafted tax bill in almost complete form will be taken up by the committee again Monday.

SAYS VENEZUELAN U-BOAT BASE STORY IS FALSE

WASHINGTON. June 4. Published reports of German overtures for a submarine base on the Island of Margarita off the Venezuelan coast drew a statement Sunday night from Minister Pominicl denouncing the story as false, characterizing talk cf (lerman political influence in Venezuela as nonsense and declaring no circumstance would arise to chanp the friendly altitude of his country toward the United States. "Honor and diffnity force on Venezuela an attitude of neutrality in the present war." he said, "hut this neutrality is most friendly toward the United States. The Venezuela government never for a minute would consider srantinc: a submarine bai to Germany. "This story probably prows out of the German blockade of the VenezulT coast in 190 2 when it was said th intention of Germany was to take the island. The Venezuelan people armed themselves and were determined to defend it by force of arms. Now as then any similar attempt would hnd the government and people of Venezuela ready to defend eery foot of Venezulan territory."

News-Times Spevhil Service: ELKHART, June 4. Two tiny tots, a sirl and a boy, were picked up by the police Sunday afternoon after they had plavcd upon Main st. for over an hour. Rareheaded and unkempt they attracted the sympathy of the pas!ersby and when they were taken to the station, between sobs, they lisped out enough of their par

ents' names to enable the police to locate their home. They were the . children of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Madden, ill' Washinfm st., and when the officers took thorn home, i the father seemed but little concern- j ed about their welfare, but stated ,

that the mother had been absent hunting them lor "twenty minutes". According to the neighbors, the

children had been absent for nearly j

three hours.
