PROTEST IN BEHALF
OF THE BELGIANS
United States Informs Germany o
the Bad Impression Here Over DE

United States Informs Germany oil
the Bad Impression Here Over De-
portatiOns.
Washington Dispatch, Dec. !.
Acting on Its own behalf, the Am
erican government has Informed Ger
many anew of its deep concern over
the deportation of Belgians from
their own country by German mill
tarv authorities. This action has
been taken as a result OF information
about the deportations gathered from
different sources, and after fruitless
informal efforts on behalf OF the Bel
gians made by American Charge
Grew at Berlin.
70 Germany has been informed that
the treatment of the Belgians has
made a very bad impression in this
country. and that the United States
cannot avoid taking notice OF the
situation, basing its stand on the
broad grounds of humanity.
The American government, IL was
learned today, was led to move not
only because of the expressed feeling
that the deportations have been look
ed upon with disfavor both by the
American people and government but
because of fear that Belgian relief
work, which is administered by
Americans, mas be interfered with.
The information already in the
hands of the State Department on
the situation was supplemented TO-
day by the Belgian Minister, r.
Hayenith. who reported to Secretary
Lansing that more than 100000 Bel
gians had been deported and that de
nortations are continuing at the rate
of 5000 week. He added that rail-
road workers have been taken 70
man military roads now being laid
and that some have been taken into
the occupied portion OF northern
France, and some into Germany.

COST OF LIVING ALARMING
Government Is Likely to Take Some
Action al Once-Figures rs TO Sub
sistence i'm New York.


The high cost of living and what
steps the Federal Government can
take to control il. assumed pr -
tions as National question with the
converting OF Congress yesterday.
which overshadowed all other issues
in the first days proceedings.
Eleven bills and resolutions. seek
ing TO check the soaring prices of
food by stopping shipments TO Eu-
rope. reducing parcel post rates on
foodstuifs or controlling cold storage,
were introduced in the House.
President Gompers and commit
tee of the American Federation of
Labor called on President Wilson
yesterday and asked him him to ap-
point a special commission TO inyesti-
gate the food question. The Presi-
dent assured them that the govern
ment would take some steps to meet
the situation. He is understood to
prefer not to appoint a commission
as il practically would be without au-
thority to compel testimony; while a
congressional investigation probably
would mean protracted delay.
Reports being gathered by the De
partment of Agriculture are being
laid before the President as fast as
they are compiled and upon them he
is expected to decide on any action,
which undoubtedly will be prefaced
by special address to Congress.
Embargo Not Favored.
One report submitted by Secretary
Redfield and held confidential as yet,
is understood to show wide margin
between prices paid to producers and
those paid by the consumers. In a
recent address the President virtual
ly charged the middlemen with re-
sponsibility for the high cost of liv-
ing.
The bills in Congress are expected
to produce a general discussion OF
the subject, but none of the Admin
istration leaders thinks any of the
embargo measures can pass. A Sc
ries of four, introduced by Chairman
Fitzgerald, of the Appropriations
Committee, propose embargo, reduc'
ton of parcel post rates and restric'
ton of cold storage.

"INDEPENDENT" PRINTS
POEM BY MONROE LADY
One of Miss Mary Stewards Poems
Accepted by One of the Leading
Periodicals of the Country.

Accepted by tine OF the Leading
Periodicals of the Country.
Those who receive THE Indepen-
dent" here were pleased TO find in
the issue of Nov. 13. poem by Miss
Mary Stewart. who has been con-
tributing some CT her work to the
State papers during the past year.
THE Independent" is a conservative,
widely-read journal, and Miss Stew
art should feel elated at having her
work accepted by such an able critic.
The title of the poem is: THE Young
Men Lie Dead" and il is reprinted
literally below:
The young men lie dead in the
trenches.
The young, young men lie dead.
Their clear blue eyes glazed to the
sunlight.
Their soft brown eyes blinded in dust,
Their strong arms limp. lifeless, and
loveless,
Their shoulders resistless and prone,
Their swift feet all leaden and dull,
Their glad voices ehoked with their
own blood,
No more shall they run TO the days
work,
And never shall answer loves call.
The young men lie dead in the
trenches,
Dead. dead, in the trenches and still.
The young women walk dead in the
houses.
The young. young women walk dead.
Walk dead through the streets and
roadways,
Their hearts and their voices are life
less,
Are dead to the quickening sunlight,
To the might-have-been children
stone dead.
The life-joy is chilled in their bosoms,
Their life cry is stopped in their
hearts.
And the call that might rouse it is
| stifled,
Forever is silenced and dumb:
For their young men lie dead in the
trenches,
Dead, dead in the trenches and still.

P|CKLED PIGS FEET

State House Attache Finds it Tend : CT Subject, Not to be Taken In

"A political job from the outside, looks like one long dream of rosy bliss,' said Jack Garvin, assistant rate expert for the corporation com mission yesterday afternoon" but, take it from me, who knows, the people who think so are away off in the upper story"
 Take for this instance" and he
 made vicious jab for a copy of Tte Western Classification of rates

 Here's 2 rate made out of pickled
 pigs feet. Who in the dickens ever heard of anyone outside of Chicago, Milwaukee or St Paul wanting to ship pickled pigs feet, and just because ! some one has the gigantic intellect of a new born insect, l have to run
 through all the rate books in the of

 was having the time of his life wrest- lirg witt the deep and profound sub | ject of a rate on pickled pig feet, and Cf course everyone was interested | He had no less than fifty calls ask ing for information on the subject. An innocent reporter wandering i about the halls of the sate house, was i tipped off that Jack had a good story on the aforementioned subject, and | sconting a story, rushed into the of I flee where CarVin holds forth The
 question was put and answered about | like this.
 "Pickled pigs feet? Sure but lis , ten, just wat until tomorrow till get them all figured out, you and the rest of the glass heads around here
