WHAT A GERMAN RULE MEANS
TO A CONQUERED LAND,
Systematic Exploitation ¢f Belgium Under
the Eatheusu Pian,
Washington, D. C,, (April17).—The
systematic exploitation of Belgium by
the Germans under the so-called
‘““Rathenau Plan” is reveaied for the
first time to the Americsn people ip
the latest publication of the Commit-
es on Public Information, issued to-
day, entitled * German Treatment of
Conquered Territory,” It is based
upon unpublished reports to our De-
periment of State, aud other sources as
yet little known in this country, and
presents an appallirg record of calcu-
ated German greed and brutality,
Mach of the most damning evidence
is derived from the official orders and
other utterances of the Germans
themselvee,
The Kathensu plan was suggested
early in August, 1914, by Dr, Walter
Rathepau, presideuvt of the General
Eiectric Company of Germany.
consisted essentially in the formation,
under Lis direction, of a bureau to pro-
cure an unfailing supply of essential
raw materials for the war such as rube
ber, saltpetre, metals, ete,, both by
purchase in neutral markets and by
seigure in occupied territories, Becre -
ly a more dastardly purpose was pur-
tend. “lhe plap aimed not merely at
musking war support war by contribu-
tious and requisitions forced from the
conquered peoples, It also sought to
desiroy the industries among the sub-
jeet peoples so that it might not be
possible to build them up again for
some years, if at all. Io the meantime,
the German authorities counted upou
their ability to capture the markets of
the world for their own wares, "’
As a0 example of the del'berate
crushing of Belgian competition, the
case of the glass industry is cited.
This was one of the most fl urishing
industries of Belgium before the war,
the German glass wanufacturers could
not compete with it in the export
trade, In the words of the head of
the German organization of glass man-
ufscturere, * lt became vital to the
German manufaciurers of glasswares
tbat the Belgian manufacturers shonld
be stopped from going to neutral mar-
kets,” Accordingly, the German ad-
micisiration in Belgium was appealed
te, and it promulgated *‘‘an order
stopplog importation, transit,, and ex-
poriation ”’ of theee goods. Belzare of
Belgian trade secrets was another fea-
ture of this typically German plan.
The extent to which Belgium has
been denuded of its wealth, war mater-
isle, machinery, means to transport
a: d man power under this icviquitous
plan is a'most uonbellevavle, ‘All
crude materials indispensable for Bel-
giau industries,” reported Brand
Whitlock, our Minister to Belgium, as
enily as August 2, 1915, ' were requisi-
tioued and sent to Germany—Ileather,
hides, copper, wool, flax, ete. Far-
thermore, if not the entire stock, at
least the greatest number possible of
machinery parts were shipped to Ger-
many, to be used, sccording to Ger-
man statements, ino makiog munitions
which Belglan factories bad refused to
produce. ”’ Belgian draft horses, the
best in the world, were seiz»d and seul
to Germany to be sold to Geiman far-
mere. A loog list compiled from the
German official ordoances Is given of
the articles ordered seized iu Belgium,
It comprises vome 300 separate items,
listed under such headings a+ miverals
and metals, chemicals, machioery,
food, clothing, texiiles, household ar-
ticles, old material, oils aud explo-
sives, metal products for industrial «¢s-
tablishmente, medical supplies, ete,
I'he articles range from lungsien steel
to ground slsg, from electric conden-
sers aud conductors to printer's slugs
and matrices, from all grains for bread-
making to oat straw, from bath tubs
to stmir-carpet rods and door knobe,
from olu rags to the skioe, borne, feet,
bones aud carcasses of horses, calves,
goate, rubbite, and doge, Notuing ap-
parently is overlooked or forgotten in
this ruthless robbery of the quivering
victim, It is German efficiency joined
to German vuserupuiousuess and dis.
regard of all rights on the part of those
not ble to defend themselves,

Would-Be Bad Man Loses Nerve,
After breaking up all the dishes and
household farniture, and driving the
family from the house, Ray Hull, 23
years old, barricaded bimeself in an
upper room of his home at Woodland,
Clearfie'd county, on Thursday after-
noon, and threatened death and de-
struction to all who approached,
The sheriff of Clearfield county was
sent for, When he reached the place
Hull was shouting defiance to all the
world and brandishing a butcher knife,
The official hopped nimbly up the
steps and when he introduced himself
and explsioed his mission, the would-
be bad man decided not to “monkey
with the buzz saw’ and promptly
“eaved'’,
He was taken to jail at Clearfield
and will be held for court,

GCUFFaY FOR GOVEEBNOR,
From the Williamsport Sun.
Announcement of the candidacy of
Joseph F. Guffey, of Pittsburgh, for
the Democratic nomination for gover-
nor of Pennsylvanis, has been received
with every evidence of approval on
the part of the Demcerstic and inde-
pendent voters of the state and it le
probable that Mr, Guffey will go be-
fore the voters of the November elec-
tion as the unanimous choice of his
party. Uuder ordinary circumets noes
bis election would be improbable, bie
cause of the strong hold the Republi-
can machine has on the state, but the
eonditions al present are such as to
¥ive encoursgement to the Democratic
party and to all who believe in whole-
hearted support of President Wilson's
WAI program,
Aside from support of the President
and his war program the leading l:sue
of the campaign this year has to do
with the federal prohibitory constitu-
tional amendment, There is no at.
tempt on Mr, Gufley’s part to side-
slep this question, He has come out
iquarely io favor of ratification of the
siuendment by the Penvaylvania leg-
isiature and thus pledges himself to
work for such sction, He also de-
Felares in favor of woman suflrage.,
Commentiog on Mr, Gufley’s candi
dacy, the Pitisburgh Free, a Republi
can newspaper, says: * While The
Press ls a Republican paper, devoled
by conviction to the fundamental
principles for whieh the Republican

is a estanch Republican state, Mr,
