THE FAILURE
OF DIPLOMACY
United States Government
Has Done All That
Is Possible
AMERICA CAN
Do NO MORE
Public Opinion to Be Await
ed for Guidance for
Next Step

Washington, Dec. ll.--With publica-
ton of the American protest TO Germany
on the deportations of Belgians, state de-
partment officials disclosed Saturday the
United States government has exhausted
its means of diplomacy and has laid the
ease before American public opinion from
which 1t will expect to draw guidance
for the next steps, if any are taken.
Germany's reply, conveyed in converse
tions with Charge Grew at Berlin by
Chancellor Volt Bethmann Hollweg, is
that the deportations are regarded as
justified on the grounds OF social neees-
ssity. No actual reply in the form OF a
note has been received from Germany,
but no doubt has been left by the chan
cellor that the protest of the United
States will not be needed.
Official information shows also that
the deportations are continuing. Publlca-
ton of the protest was disclosed at the
state department Saturday to be for the
purpose OF placing the case before Amer
lean public opinion. 1t was also revealed
that publication of the document might
be interpreted as unfriendly, but that
this contingency had been taken into con
sjderation before it was given out.
The state department feels that 1t has
gone far beyond the usual diplomatic
bounds in its protests to Germany and
that in, a strictly conventional sense 1t
had almost no right to discuss the mat
ter at all with Germany, as Belgiums IN
terests in that country are represented
by Spain and not ny the United States,
Consequently, with all diplomatic proceed
ure now admittedly exhausted, the de-
partment has no other recourse than TO
give the facts to the public and leave the
ease with it.
With the apparent failure OF the Amer
lean protest as well as those OF Holland,
Spain and the Vatican, and the deporta
tions undated, the state department
will await the expression OF public ppin-
ion before another step is taken. The
next step NAV be the making public OF
further information of the extent and
machinery OF the deportations. Mean
while an official statement from England
to the effect that American relief in Bel
GUM may have to be terminated because
of the deportations is causing alarm.
Belgian Minister Havenith called at the
state department at Washington Satur-
dav to express his gratitude for the
American protest and to inquire il there
had been any developments. He believes
Germany cannot fail TO heed protest OF
American public opinion

Annual Falue OF use Vi houoc'
Average per family .......... 1890
1t was found that the average annual
value of meats consumed per family
(other than poultry was sl07.25; of
poultry products, $3.50; and of dairy
products, 1885. The quantity of dairy
products consumed per family was equal
to 2,640 quarts of milk.
The total value of food consumed per
family was found to vary directly with
the amount of meat used. As the rela-
tive value of meat consumed increases,
the total value of food consumed per
family increases.
Families living on their own farms
reported higher consumption of food and
a larger percentage OF food derived di-
rectly from the farm than of those living
on rented farms.
The average quantity of fruit canned
annually per family was found to be l22
quarts; of vegetables, 80 quarts.

LIVING COSTS ON FARM.
Value of Food, Fuel and Use of House
for Average Family.

MANY farm is yielding at least a
small profit, when, according to a strict
bookkeeping tally, it seems to be a los
ing proposition. This paradox is ex-
planned by the facts brought out in a
bulletin Just issued by the department,
entitled "Value to Farm Families OF
Food, Fuel, and use of House. These
items, namely, food, fuel, and Shelter,
which every farm furnishes to the farm
family without money cost, are the FAC
tors which strict bookkeeping does not
take into account and which constitute
the difference between profit and loss on
The farm which seems to be losing money
when in reality it is breaking even or
perhaps making little profit.
The facts brought out in this bulletin
were gathered by survey of thousand
families representing widely separated
sections in IA states. Figures were gath
cred covering the value of all food, fuel,
and shelter, itemized to show what part
was bought and what part furnished by
the farm.
