The text of the statement of the
Belgian High Commission presented
to President Wilson at the White
House today by Mr.. Carton De Wharf
was as follows:
"EXcellency:
His majesty the King of the Bel
gians has charged us with a special
mission to the President of the United
States.
Let me say to you how much we
feel ourselves honored to have been
called to express the sentiments of
our king and of our whole nation to
the illustrious statesman whom the
American people have called TO the
highest dignity of the commonwealth
'As far as / am concerned. l have
already been able, during previous
trip, to fully appreciate the noble
virtues of the American nation. and
I am happy to take this opportunity
to express the admiration with which
they inspired me.
Neutrality Has Been Violated.
Ever since her Independence was
first established Belgium has been
declared neutral in perpetuity. This
neutrality, guaranteed by the powers,
has recently been violated by one of
them. Had We consented to abandon

our neutrality for the benefit of one
of the belligerents we would have
betrayed our obligations toward
others, and it was the sense of our
international obligations, as well as
that of our dignity and honor, that
| has driven us to resistance.
1.-THE consequences suffered by the
Belgian nation we're not confined
purely to the harm occasioned by the
forced march of an invading army.
This army not only seized a. great
portion of our territory, but it COM
mitted incredible acts of violence, the
nature of which is contrary to the
rights of mankind.
Peaceful inhabitants were mas
sacred, defenseless women outraged,
open and undefended towns were de-
stroyed, historical and religious
monuments, were reduced to dust
and the famous library of the Uni
yersity- of Louvain was given TO the
flames.
"Our government has appointed a
judicial commission to make an Off
cial investigation, so as to thorough
ly and impartially examine the facts
and to determine the responsibility
thereof and | will have the honor,
excellency, to hand over to you the
| proceedings VI tic INJURY.
In this frightful holocaust, which
is sweeping all over Europe, the
United States have adopted neu-
trail attitude.
And it is for this reason that your
country, standing apart from either
one of the belligerents, is in the best
position to judge without bias and
partially the conditions under which
the war is being waged.
Why Belgium Appeals TO L. 5.
ut was at the request, even at the
initiative of the United States, that
all civilized nations have formulated
and adopted at The Hague a law
regulating the rights and usages of
war.
1--WE refuse to believe that war has
abolished the family of civilized
powers or the regula tons to which
they have freely consented.
"The American people has always
displayed its respect for justice, its
search for progress, and a instinct
i've attachment for the laws CT
humanity. Therefore it has won a
moral influence that is recognized by
the entire world. 1t is for this reason
that Belgium, bound as it is with you
by ties of commerce and increasing
friendship, turns to the American
people at this time to let 1t know the
real truth of the present situation.
Resolved to continue its unflinching
defense of it's sovereignty and indie
pendence, it deems it a duty to bring
to the attention of the civilized world
the innumerable grave breaches of
the rights of mankind of which she
has been a victim.
AT the very moment we were leav-
ing Belgium the King recalled to us
his trip to the United States and the
vivid and strong impression your
powerful and virile civilization left
upon his mind.
"Our faith in your fairness, our
confidence in your justice, in your
spirit of generosity and sympathy, all
these dictated our present mission"
Carton De Wharf handed 70
President Wilson the results of the
official inquiry instituted by the Bel
gian government. showing in detail
the destruction in Belgium.

ATTACK RENEWED
ON BANK TAX ACT
Jersey City Bankers Get Courts
Aid to Review Assessments
Against Them.
Special to the Evening star.


TRENTON, Sept. 16.-The COM
mereial Trust Company of New Jer-
sey and Charles l.. Decker. share
holder in the Merchants National
Bank, of Jersey City. have secured
from Supreme Court Justice Swayze
writs of certiorari to review assess
ments against them under the Fielder
bank stock tax law of 1914.
The Commercial Trust Company
owns $50 shares of the par value of
800 each of the capital stock of the
Jersey City Trust Company of Jer-
sey City. The Hudson County Board
of Taxation under the Fielder law
levied an assessment of "a of | per
cent. against the shares owned by the
Commercial Trust Company, valued
at S7S,562, and a tax of $594. The as
sessment against Decker was for
twenty shares of stock he owns in
the Merchants National Bank, of Jer-
sey City.
The petitioners claim that the as
sessment under the Fielder law Is
without authority and is contrary to
the State constitution because the
valuation of the shares for purposes
of taxation Is not according to their
true value. IT is further contended
that the tax is not levied and as
sessed under the general law by uni
form rules governing the assessment
of taxes upon property of a similar
character.
The Commercial Trust Company
claims that the shares it controls in
the Jersey City Trust Company COM
prise part of the former personal
property and. therefore, under the
law should not be assessed.
Proceedings to test the bank stock
law were instituted several months
ago by Robert S. Ross and William j.
Field. bankers of Jersey City. and a
decision as to the laws constitutional
ity is expected any time now by the
Supreme Court

SHOULD GIRL WHO WORKS doll UP" IN LACY
WAISTS AND WEAR SILK STOCKINGS
IDAH McGLo ONE GIBSON

BY IDA1 McGLo ONE GIBSON
This little sermon was written be-
cause 1 received this morning num-
Der of letters on the question of how
working girl should dress.
This is one of the letters:
my Dear Mrs. Gibson:
There have been some remarks
passed about the Office concerning
my dress. think / am dressing in
good taste and within my means, but,
for fear am wrong, l will come to
you for advice.
81 am girl of Is years and am es-
peciaIly fond of dainty things, such
as silk stockings, pumps, lacy collars,
etc. l work in a downtown business
office where the girls dress very plain
ly, and my salary is, just the same as
most of theirs. l would rather deny
myself pleasures and dinners that the
other girls enjoy and buy pretty
things for myself.
do you think it is proper for a
working girl to wear silk stockings
and low-necked lacy waists to work

if It makes her happy and comfort
able? Working Girl"
The, girl who works is criticized
about a great many things, but on no
other subject is she criticized as
often as the subject of dress.
Every woman thinks, of course,
that her standard of dress is the best.
And if the girl who works would fol-
low the rules set down by the woman
who does not work she would spend
the money she earns for clothes that
would be a uniform of the plainest
kind at the office, factory or store.
It's easy to tell the other person
what to do.
Every normal girl loves pretty
clothes. And the girl who works six
days a week has very few places to
wear them except at the place where
she spends most of her time.
There are some dainty bits of ap-
parel that are not appropriate for an
office. But l am of the opinion that
it is perfectly all right for a girl to
wear as dainty and pretty clothes as
she can afford.

But there's not a doubt as to which
one has the most beautiful officers
it's the one maintained by the Hap
pydromes!"
Just glance, for instance, at Mar
garet Lyons, and. then on Josie de
Neville! If they do not please your
jaded optic try a peep at Margaret
Dunno. You're hard to suit if none
of them satisfies your taste!
