BRUTAL HUNS.
FIENDISH TREATMENT OF BELGIANS. MANY RENDERED HOPELESS IMBECILES. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. Received October 4, 8.45 a.m. NEW YORK, October 3. The Belgian Government has given the New York Times an official report on the sufferings of the Belgian deporteds. The report says: —"lt is no exaggeration to say that they are being starved, yet despite their utter weakness they are being driven like slaves to the heaviest work. The guards use clubs on the sick and exhausted, and one who complained was beaten to death with a rifle butt. The treatment has rendered many hopeless imbeciles. Hungry men were taunted and maddened by the sight of food, which they were not allowed to eat." &T"
