Professor Munro and his fellow-editors have drawn freely upon the official texts prirted in the work entitled German Legislation for the Occupied Territories of Belgium, edited, in ten volumes, by Huberich and Nicol-Speyer, (The Hague, 1915-17.) These volumes cover the pe- riod from Sept 5, 1914, to March 29, 1917, and contain a reprint of The Offi- cial Bulletin of Laws and Ordinances in German, French, and Flemish. The documents show that the first step under the Rathenau plan was to ascertain what raw materials and other supplies were accessible. Consequently, there were many ordinances commanding the decla- ration of certain wares. The following is an example . All stocks of benzine, benzol, petroleum, spirits of alcohol, glycerine, oils and fats of any kind, toluol, carbide, raw rubber and rubber waste, as well as all automo- bile tires, shall immediately be reported in writing to the respective chiefs of dis- tricts or commanders, with a statement of quantity and the place of storage. Such a declaration made it easy for the military authorities later to acquire the wares either by direct requisition or by forced sales. The following are ex- amples. Article 1. All wools (raw wool, washed wool, tops and noils, woolen waste, woolen yarns, artificial wools, as well as mix- tures of these articles with others) and also all mattresses filled with the wools above specified and now an object of trade or introduced into trade, found within the jurisdiction of the General Government, are hereby commandeered.
