Consequently, in following the call of honor and patriotism, the city remains faithful to a primary duty of which a higher German officer can- not fail to realize the nobleness. “The members of the municipal council are confident that the loyalty and frankness attitude will help to avoid understandings between themselves and the German army.” The above resolution was dated Oct. 20. Under date of Oct. N or Gen. Hopffer and Commandant Etapen re- plied as follows: “The fact that the municipality al- lows itself by the decision of the town council to oppose the orders of the military authorities in occupied ter- ritory constitutes an act of arrogance without precedence and is an absolute understandin <f the situation sing from the state . The state of affair: simply this: The mili commands and the municipality h: to obey. If it fails to do thisit willhave to support the heavy consequences which I have already pointed out in my previous explanation. “The commander of the army has imposed on the town of its refusal to supply the required lists a fine of 200,000 marks, which has to be paid within the next six days, and he fur- ther adds that until the required lists have been put at his disposal the sum of 20,000 marks will have to be paid for every day of delay. This will hold good until Dec. 31.” Population in Terror. The Hague, Nov. 18.—The number of Belgians deported by the Germans up to date, according to information given to the Associated Press today from a reliable source, apparently is between 30,000 and 40,000 and they are being deported at the rate of about 2,000 daily. Antwerp, it was said, has been com- manded to furnish 27,000 men, which is probably not more than ten per cent. of its able-bodied population, but the commune of Lessines has lost more than 2,000 from a total popula- tion, including women and children, of 7,000, representing virtually every able-bodled man, excepting officials. The entire Belgian population, the narrator d because the they are entirely help- of hysterical women and children gather at the railway and re- cruiting stations, and many women at Jemapes threw themselves on the rails to prevent the departure of a train of emigrants and had to be for- cibly removed by German soldiers. The men are frequently loaded in- to cattle cars and spend one or two days on the journey. They are strong- ly determined to refuse to work, be- lieving that if they are not employed in military works they will be com- pelled to replace Germans and be forced to work directly or indirectly ainst the Belgian army and its lies. The deported men in trains passing through Liege are declared to have been heard singing the Mar- sefllaise anq other patriotic airs. The newspapers report a case near Valenciennes of sixty Frenchmen who when impressed by the Germans, re- fused to work. They are declared to have been tied to posts for forty-eight hours, until half of them fainted from hardships and hunger. Appeals to Many Governments. Many prominent Belgians are re- ported not to have hesitated to risk their liberty by the strongest of pro- tests to the German authorities against the deportations. Various offi- cial bodies have drafteq resolutions of protest, and the senators and dep- uties of Antwerp and Hainault Prov- inces have taken especially strong ac- tion in the premises and are said to be daily expecting deportation. Neutrals in Belgium, especially the ministers, are receiving many appeals to try and induce their governments to intervene. The newspaper La Libre BRITAIN | DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1916, T il T ¢ ‘When in Doubt, Push Both Feet” | THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW to drive Reo the Fifth, “The Incomparable Four.” THAT’S ONE REASON WHY this great car is so popular with women drivers—its simplicity and certainty of control. “HANDLES JUST LIKE my old electric,” exclaimed a prominentsociety womanwhen, after much hesitation, she essayed to drive her husband’s new Reo the Fifth—and found to her surprise and delight thatit was just as easy to drive a Reo gasoline car as it had been to drive her pokey old electric. YOU SEE, THE TWO foot pedals are both “brakes”—and the left pedal also releases the clutch. Push half way—-clutch releases and car coasts freely; push further and you set the “service’” brake. Right foot sets the other or ‘“‘emergency’ brake. NOW HERE’S THE DIFFERENCE be- tween this Reo control and others: ON OTHER CARS you must think of several things at once. Of course after a few weeks driving the various operations become practically automatic. . But meantime— you may pay the price of the car for an accident, and a new radiator or fender is the frequent result of learning on most cars. “STANDARD PRACTICE” controls one brake by a hand lever; the other by the right foot; and the clutch pedal is controlled by the left foot. TO STOP QUICKLY and hold the car on an incline, you must perform three operations at least—release clutch and set two sets of brakes—one with the foot, one with the hand. DRIVING REO THE FIFTH is simplicity itself to the novice—for all you need to know is “if in doubt, push both feet.” Car stops—and nothing happens, you know, when you are standing still. THE VERY FACT that you don’t have to think which foot; nor need to use your hand at all; but can keep both hands firmly grasping the wheel, where they ought to be—till the emergency has passed—makes this the safest, simplest car in the world to drive—bar none. THE VERY IMPULSE is automatic—for, what more natural than, secing something ahead of you, you'd lean back, brace your- self against the back of the seat, hold onto the wheel—and press both foot levers. JUST TRY IT yourself—if you have ever driven any car you need absolutely no instructions. Glance at the index plate that surrounds the ‘“‘one rod” control lever— and you are an expert Reo driver from the instant. AND IF YOU HAVEN’T driven before, you will, after one ten-minute lesson, be just as expert and have the confidence—which is the main thing—of an old driver. IS IT ANY WONDER the demand for this Reo the Fifth has always been greater than the possible supply? SIMPLICITY OF CONTROL—and low cost of upkeep are the two chief reasons. THE PRICE—$875 f. o. b. factory, is the other reason—for the quality, the bigness, and the luxurious riding qualities of Reo the Fifth at the price, makes this car “The Gold Standard of Values” among automobiles.

T Belgique, which has maintained a wide circulation throughout Belgium for more than a year, despite the al- leged efforts of the Germans to discov- er its authors and suppress the sheet, has published a special number con- | taining an appeal to the ncutral na- tions.

One notice posted in Northern France gives assurance that the men will not be employed under continuous fire. The Antwerp order notifies students | to bring their books and musicians their instruments. The authorities promise the men good wages and lib- | erty to remit money from Germany to ‘thcir families in Belgium. To all of they refuse to sign they will be treated worse, but virtually all decline to do s0.
