AMERICAN CONSULS TO BEL
GUM MUST SUIT GERMANS

Washington, d. G. = United States
consuls in Belgium must be acceptable
to the German military authorities,
and the withdraw Of some now there,
for the present at least, is desired by
the Berlin government. This was
made known in formal notification to
the State department Tuesday.
Secretary Bryan declined to make
public the text of the German COM
munication or to comment on it until
he had had full opportunity to consider
1t. The understanding in official cir
cles Is that the notice is similar to the
one sent Argentina and other neutral
countries.
1t Is said that while the German
government does not insist that con-
suls in Belgium take out new exequa-
turs from German officers, it an
nounces that such consuls must exer-
else their functions only by permission
from the military in control of the ter
ritory in which the consulates are sit
uated.
The United States has consular rep
resentatives in Brussels. Antwerp,

Note SENT BRITAIN

Washington, D. c. - The United
States government dispatched Tuesday
: long note to Great Britain, insisting
on early improvement in the treatment
Of American commerce by the British
nest. It gave warning that public
criticism WA general over unwarrant-
Cd interference with the legitimate
foreign trAds Of the United States.
The document. constituting the
strongest representation on this sub
ject made by the United States to any
Of the bellIgsrcnts since the outbreak
Of the war, was cabled to Ambassador
Page to b. formally presented to Sir
Edward Grey. British foreign score
taxy.
Its preparation was begun = month
ago by Solicitor Conc johnson, Coun-
selor Lansing and Secretary Bryan and
finally had the personal attention Of
President Wilson, who revised its
phrnseoloRy with minute care.
Az the detailed point Of view Of tho
United States In numerous specific
cases Of detentions and seizures Of car
goes had been ~ forth in . series Of
emphatic protests, most Of which have
gone UNDECIDED. this communication
was couched in general terms, cover
ing the entire subject Of the relations
between the United States and Great
Britain ~ Affected by the latter's
naval policy, considered highly objec-
tionable by this government.
Since France has adopted practically
the same DEGREES on contraband ~ has
Great Britain, the note IL virtually
statement intended for all the men,
bers Of the triple entente.
The note declares at the outset that
the representations are made In
friendly spirit, but that the United
States considers 1t best to speak In
terms Of frankness, lest silence be
construed as an acquiesence in a policy
which infringed the rights of Ameri-
can citizens under the laws Of nations.
The document points out that COM
plants on every side and public criti-
cism In the United States hold the
British policy rs directly responsible
40 Ntfo trRAroHtoA III many AMERICAN
industries, situation the seriousness
of which must be apparent to Great
Britain.
Reimbursement alone for cargoes
detained or seized, it
states, does not remedy the evil, as
the chief difficulty is the moral effect
OF British practice on American ex-
porters, who are restrained by it from
taking risks or hazards which in no
case ought to surround legitimate
trade between the United States and
other neutral countries.
Feeling has been aroused on the SUBJ
ject to such an extent, the communica-
tion adds, that the American govern
ment feels compelled to ask for def
mite information as to Great Britain's
attitude, In order that 1t may take
such measures as will protect Ameri-
can citizens in their rights.

Prosperity for Whole Country At

Washington. I'D. C.--Heartsned by
months Of close study Of the business
outlook Of the nation, Secretary Red
field, Of the department OF Commerce,
wrote = New Years greeting to the
merchants and manufacturers Of the
country. bidding them in characteris-
tic language to reach out for the pros
pcrity he sees within their grasp.
There IL no warrant, Mr.. Redfeld de-
clares, for gloom or despair. The III
effects Of the European war on Ameri-
can enterprise Is passing and new Wis
tas for commercial venture are open
ing with each new day.
IF you want prosperity, do your
share to bring 1t and do 1t now," he
says. Get that addition on your shop
going; II will cost you less today than
six months hence. Is trade bit dull
In the works? Get those improve
ments begun. Prices are low and
likely to rise. You've been thinking
OF that contract work. Better start
yourself before things get the start Of
you.
This country slows down q bit now
and then, but II never stops growing
and II always moves up and not down.
We don't know what 1t means In most
OF the United States TO have real gen.
ersl distress. Think Of Belgium and
Poland. 0 man with Crouch, and
stink into your hole and pull 1t In after
YOU There think Of your sins and
your blessings and come out with your
courage In working order.
There are lots Of good American
examples Of pluck. Do you remember
San Fancisco and Galveston and Chi
csgo- Boston. Charleston, Baltimore
and Dayton, and many others like
them? Remember them as did Edison
and lots Of your fellow citizens, who
showed pluck when things were hard.
Nothing Is the matter with the
man with a Crouch except an absentee
heart and missing nerve. Cheer up,
20 to work. do your level best, quit
talking misery. The wars over yon-
der. not here. Men are slaughter
yonder- they're living here. It's all
clouds there--clear day here.
Get out and sell some goods. Plant
some more acres; do more work than
you planned. Talk cheerful talk and
you'll find this country Of ours a pref
~ good place after all. /"
