People at Work
Were Deported.
(Aupcia'ri Press Report.)
HAVKK. I'ecember . The Belgian
government through Its organized sys-
n of obtaining information of what is
iking place in Belgium has received lists
rt persons deported from various locali-
ties Some of these lists which bave just
arrived from Nivell-is south of Brussels
show that among the deported were 42
persons of position and who owned prop-
erty and who were neither idle nor indi-
gent. su"h ns farmers small shop keep
ers hotel proprietors the station mastei
and his principal assistant students and
artists. Another list from Nivelles names
3u persons who were employed and who
were making a living but who were car-
ried off to labor in Germany.
"The townspeople of Jemappes" says
an eye witness according to report re-
ceived here" were assembled and exatn-
.ncd as to their strength age and gen-
eral appearance very much as though they
were cattle. Five hundred were pickerl
for transportation. Each was asked to
sign a paper saying that he engaged vol-
untarily for work in Germany. The men
were told that "if you sign it. it will mean
an easy place for you in Germany. If you
refuse you probably will bo sent to the
front to work in the trenches." Few per-
sons signed the paper. One of 42 who
signed was overcome by remorse two days
later and hanged himself."
Numerous narratives received by this
"underground railway" describe trains
passing through towns packed with men
who were being deported. Sometimes it
is said they were singing the "Braban-
conne." the Belgian national hymn or
the "Marseillaise " and sometimes they
were cursing the Germans and shaking
their fists at German sentinels and shout-
ing Insults at them.

INJUNCTION AGAINST HENRY
FORD EXTENDED SIXTY DAYS
Temporary Order Holding Up Use
of Company's Funds Con-
tinued at Detroit.
(Asso:ate i Press Report.)
DKTROIT. December 9. The three cir
cuit judges who heard the Dodge brothers'
injunction case Saturday extended for 60
days the temporary injunction restrain-
ing Henry lord from using the profits of
the Ford company to further develop the
business.
The Judges were not unanimous In their
deoiKiun as to whether Ford could legally
spend millions of his company's funds to
construct an.l maintain blast furnaces
Mr. Ford announced some time ago that
he planned to buv gre.it quantities of ore
and smelt it in his own furnaces.
Judges Wiest and Hart he:l that the
Ford Motor company could properly build
up such an enterprise provided all the
products win. h lett tne smelters were
used in the manufacture of automobiles
by the Ford con. ern.
Judge Chester who did not concur held
that an automobile corporation ran not
legally ergaee in the smelter business
even if it intended to use the products of
Its smelter.
