HARRI6BURG TELEGRAPH GERMANS DRIVE BELGIAN MEN INTO SLAVERY Victims Compelled to Work Beyond Endurance Near Battle Lines By Associated Press Havre, June 20.—A large number of Belgian civilians from the Mons region have been deported by tho German authorities, according to Information received by the Belgian government. The deported men were sent to points ten to twelve kilome ters from the front in France, where they were forced to work in all, weathers on military tasks, such as railroads, trenches and handling war material. The victims were compelled to la bor twelve hours daily and some times to do additional work at night. Many, who had never done manual work before, were roughly treated and all scantily fed and badly hous ed. Most of the unfortunates are now actually sick and every one Is debilitated. Among them are sev eral persons who had previously been deported to Germany and then repatriated. ITALY PRAISES C. S. By Associated Press Rome, June 21.—A remarkable demonstration for the United States took place yesterday in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Sen ate when President Wilson's war message to Congress was referred to. The entire cabinet, deputies and sen ators stood up and applauded, the public also joining In the cheers. There was a fresh outburst when the Italian mission to America and its reception were mentioned and a tele gram from Prince Udine was read.

ASSERTS RUSSIA WILL FIGHT Continued from First Page olitical corruption in Russia and 'lie far-reaching influence of the ritftorous diplomacy of the German regime, ho said: "It was one of the coldest days of the winter of 1915. With my detachment of men we were huddled among the snowdrifts that filled the trenches on the west front. An order was received that in the future no meat would be furnished to the men. What were we to do? We knew there was plenty of meat on the interior plains, easly accessible to the supply regiments. My own men were freezing in the face of a 30-mile gale and an ever dropping thermometer. We never needed meat more than at that time. It was weeks before, the meat was again restored to the rations and in the meanwhile hundreds of men had died of exposure." "Once Russia fftts rid of such corruption whether by revolution or not, America can depend on them to remain In the war," he said. He emphasized the importance of the Russians remaining in the war at this time at least on the defensive, if not on the aggressive. With his swagger stick he drew an imaginary line on the floor of the station show ing the great expanse of the Russian front. Once that line gives way without defense, he declared, It would be Impossible to calculate the Influence It would have In prolong ing the war. Speaking of the early day# of the war, he spoke of the terrible losses the Russians suffered because their equipment could not be compared with the heavy guns of the German artillery. In the face of their six inch guns the Russians charged and recharged with only three-inch mor tars for the defense. In a recent engagement the burst ing of a shell close to his head af fected his ears so that he was un able to hear for several weeks. In addition he was weakened from the effect of the exposure he had been undergoing for months. He was ex cused from active service and went from the front to Norway and Swed en to gather strength for a speedy return Into the field of action. When the' United States declared war he came to his home In Phila delphia, and this morning declared his intention of Joining the United StuteM forces us soon as possible. Colonel Grow Is but 28 years of age and went to Russia as a free lance. BALKAN VETERAN JOINS U. S. ARMY Greek Who Saw Service in Fighting Can't Resist Call to Arms Lieutenant Jean Cassaridls, a Greek, the first veteran of foreign wars, enlisted at the local i;ecruit ing station this morning in tne In fantry as a private. Lieutenant Cas saridls is a veteran of the Balkan wars and enlisted at the beginning of the present war as a commission ed officer In the Greek army. After wards he was transferred to the French unit and saw almost two years of service in the trenches along the French front. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity at Athens, Greece, and has always been a sup porter of the Liberty party in his own country. Couldn't Resist Call Because of his training and edu cation he was sent by the French to South Bethlehem as a shell Inspec tor. He declared he was able to resist the call of the army until reg istration day, but when he saw the thousands of young men who thronged the booths at South Beth lehem he couldn't resist the call to arms. In an Interview this morning yith a reporter for tho HARRIS BURG TELEGRAPH he related tales of the life In the trenches and the hard ships the men had to meet during the first years of the yar. When he left the front, conditions, he said, were much improved. The muddy trenches had given place to well equipped underground apartments. Although he was sent to Gettys burg as a private it is believed by the army officials his training and experience will lit him to train the new men. Captain Harrell this morning re ceived a letter from the Commit tee of Public Safety congratulating him on the record this district has made. Attention was called to the shortage of men required for the quota of the regular army and the National Guard. His co-operation is asked in raising men for the quota required for the state and in offer ing assistance to the recruiting of the National Guard to its war strength. The honor roll for yesterday is: John S. Daugherty, Beniamin F. Hammond, Fletcher Miles and Claude F. Garver, of Middletown, medical department; Jameß G. Clark, Jersey Shire, infantry; Jo seph A. Brooks, Carlisle, Arkansas field artillery; Isaac C. Hubler, of Reedsville, infantry. It is expected to recruit a com pany of radio, telegraph and outpost men in this city. Each company will become part of the signal reserve corps. Military or occupational ex perience is required for entrance to the corps. An office will be opened in the Calder building in the near future. Many musicians will be needed for the new camps at Gettysburg. Few men have enlisted as musicians in the regular army and many places are now open for applications. Skill ed mechanics and clarks will ajso be needed in large numbers at the camps. Applications for all posi tions should be made through Cap tain Harrell at the recruiting sta tion.
