PROTESTS MADE
0NTEUTON ACTION
F0rCibIe Removal of French Residents
Is Subject of Important Dispatch
From Washington.

Paris, Sept. ?, C.25 a. M - The
Spanish minister of state has received
d long and important dispatch from
Washington regarding the French pro-
test against the removal of residents of
northern France from their homes by
German military authorities, says a
Herald dispatch from San Sebastian.
The French government on July %
issued protest to the neutral powers
against the action OF the German mill
tary forces in removing thousands of
the population of Lille, Roubaix and
Turcoing and the surrounding COM
munes in April, 1916, to work on farms
and in other occupations remote from
their homes. 1t has been asserted that
25,0 900 men, women and girls were in
cluded in the deportation. Late in july
it was announced that the state depart
ment at Washington was investigating
the German actions.
Official annOun cement regarding the
nature OF the exchange between the
state department and the Spanish am
basSadOr regarding the removal or the
French civilian population of Lille and
other towns by Germans is withheld,
but il is known that the subject was
discussed about a fortnight ago be-
tween Secretary Lansing and Mr..
RianO, the ambassador.
Preceding the ambassadors visit, the
state department already had received
from the French embassy here a pro-
test against removal of the civilians,
which il was charged, was indirect vi
olation of the provisions of the Hague
treaty guaranteeing protection and i'm
munity for the civil population Of con-
querad territory.
me state department did not feel
called upon to take any action any
more than il has done in preceding in
stances where complaints were made
bv belligerents of other alleged viola
tions Of the laws of war a 5 laid down
in The Hague and Geneva conventions.

morning and to accept all other
freight with the understanding that 1t
might be subject to delay because or
the strike.
THE order to life the embargo came
at an opportune time one or the 10
cal freight agents said today. "Of
course the embargo prevented some
shipments, but the delay caused Is
comparatively small to what might
have happened if there was walkout.
No Inconvenience Results.
There is no question but if the
strike lasted very long food prices
would have shot way up in the air
and there would have been difficulty
in securing some classes of food. Coal
practically would be impossible TO
get and industries would have had to
shut down AS it is, however, the mat
ter is being terminated so that no sur
fering will be felt here. The railroad
companies would not order the en-
barge lifted unless it was practically
certain that the strike is averted."
