BELGIAN DEPORTATIOiNS. OBJECT WILT; CAUSE WHOLE WORLD TO SHUDDER. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) (Received March 1, 9.30 a.m.) MADRID, Febrauray 28. Mr Gerard and a par.ty of forty, m addition to newspaper correspondents and American refugees from Germany, have embarked. ,
Mr Gerard states that he is imrilensely pleased with his reception m Spain, including that of the King, Government, and populace. Before he left Germany many mysterious warnings were addressed to him on the subject of the homeward^ voyage. He decided to ignore the warning 3, though obviously they were most seriously meant. The vessel also carries seventeen hundred Spanish emigrants for Cuba. The New York Times' Bordeaux correspondent interviewed the American Consul, who returned with/ Mr Gerard. The Consul made the most significant statement that the Belgian deportations were the greatest horror of the war. When the real reason for the deportations was known,, which was not the case now, the whole world will shudder with horror.
