Tunis was in the autumn of 1914. All throug: ‘1915 there were reporied cases where 'the military forced workmen to labor; in various factories in Belgium. La-| ter this was followed by an order; legalizing this and in October, 1916, a ‘brutal order was promulgated which paved the way for the deportation: In his report, Whitlock continue: “Then in August Hindenburg was appointed to the supreme command. He is said to have criticized von Li: ing’s policy as too mild; there was quarrel; von Bissing went, to Berlin to protest, threatening to resign, but ‘did not. He returned and a German Official here said that Belgium would how’ be subjected to a more terrible regime—would learn what war was.) The prophecy has heen vindicated. Re- cently I was told that the drastic measures are really of Ludenforff's inspiration; I do not know. Many German officers say so.” (Nevertheless Bissing defended the deportations, doing so openly in a éon- versation wita F.C.

As people grow older they restrict their activity, neglect to take sufficient exercise, and indulge a natural disposition to take things easy. The digestive organs become more sensitive to the demands made upon them and rebel more quickly, It is of special importénce to the health of elderly people that the bowels be kept normally active. A mild, yet effective, remedy for constipation, and one that is especially suited to the needs of old folks, women and children, is the combination of simple lazative herbs with pepsin sold in drug stores under the name of Dr, Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It costs onl fifty cents a bottle, and should be in every family medicine chest. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B.

Whitlock gives this picture of the actual deportations: “They began in October at Ghent and at Fruges as my brief telegrams indicated.

The men shivering from .cold and fear, the parting from Weepirig wives and cniidren, the bar-| ters of brutal Unlans, all this made the scene a pitiable and distressing one. “The rage, the terror, the despair excited by this measure all over Bel- gium were beyond anything we had witnessed since the day the Germans poured into Lrussels. The delegates of the commission for relief in Bel- gium returning to Brussels, told the most distressing scories of the scenes of cruélty and sorrow attending the seizures. And daily, ourly almost, since that time appalling stories have been related by Belgians to the lega- tion. It is impossible for us to verify. them, first because it is necessary for us to ‘exercise all possible tact in dealing with the subject at all, and, of communication between ‘the occupa- tions—Gebiet and the .
