SECOND CLASS MAIL ID
 BE ON A HNE BASIS
Magazines and Newspapers That Haze Long Routes to Travel Would Be Hit Hard in Comparison With the Present Rate of Postage.

Washington, Dec. 9.-One-cent post age for local first class mail deliv- cries and zone system of rates for second class matter which is expect ed greatly to increase the charges for magazines and other periodicals haV- ing nationwide circulation are pro- vided for in the postoffice bill as vir- tually completed today in committee. The measure carrying appropriations totalling about $327,O0O.00O probably will be reported to the house next week
 Under the one cent postage pro- vision the rate on letters and other mail matter of the first class when deposited in any postoffice or branch postoffice or letter box or postoffice in the delivery district, or delivery within the limits of the postofflce, city or rural delivery district would be cut in half
 The zone proposal for handling newspapers and magazines which now
 ay flat rate of one cent a pound
 IS regarded as one of the most radical changes in postage rates in years. It divides the country into eight zones with rates, chargeable ranging from one cent for 300 miles to six cents for 1,S00 miles or more. The bulk of daily newspapers, the committee be- lieves, will not be affected because they do not circulate beyond 300 mile radius.
 The bill provides:
 That all newspapers, magazines and other periodicals regularly admit ed to the mails as matter of the second class when mailed by the pub fisher shall hereafter be subject to the following rates of postage, Local first, second and third zone (under 100 miles), one cent per pound.
 Fourth zone GOO to 500 mffes}, two cents per pound.
 Fifth zone (60O to 1000 miles). three cents per pound.
 sixth zone (1000 to HOO miles), four cents Der pound.
 "Sevepth zone i1400 to 1900 miles), five cents per pound.
 Eighth zone lover 1900 mlles), six cents Ter pound.
 Provided that freeiu-counlNeir- culation provided by law shall %SA, tinue as at present.
 'The postmaster general shall have authority to compel publishers to ere ate their mail into zones" Chairman Moon of the postoffice committee said tonight that the bill still was subject to change before be ing reported and that the question of hearings on the proposed pneumatic tube service appropriation was in abeyance.

El Pasc, Tex, Dee. 9.-A manifesto bearing the name Of Francisco Villa and printed at san Aadreas, Chihua- hua, copies of which were received here today set forth his reasons for waging war in Mexico. The docu- ment which is signed by Villa as Commander in chief emphasizes the slogan Mexico for Mexicans.o
 All the peoples oi the earth" the document begins, are capable in de- termined moments of the greatest sac rifices when they see their national integrity melaced and when their rights Is freemen have been jeopard- ized. Of This we have a beautiful ex. ample in the titanic contliction of El. rope, but particularly in the heroic Belgium which has belonging to one of the most cultivated peoples of the globe, went into deyasting war with out the m st remote hope of victory, but conscious of the duty done and which succumbed only when the greater part of its sons disappeared between the walls of Namur and Liege, firing their last oagtrigdes to prevent their beloved country from falling with impunity before the in- vader.
 Our fatherland has arrived at the solemn moment wnen we must oppose the unjustified invasion by our eter- nal enemies, the bartdriahs of the north"
 Villa then calls oa Mexicans 10 i'm itate those people who serene and smiling offer their loves" in their country's derense. He regrets that Mexico cannot be one and undivided. because of the Carranza party, whom he calls 'renegrade patriots
 The reason why he could not re- main inactive Villa said was because the constitutionalists instead of re- D Hing invasion exploited the nation al situation with refined wickedness for their private benefit" He de- clared his only object was to "ovef- throw treachery" and place in the party capable .oyal men.

to be disturbed by them? Are they to
 be compelled to leave the camp 1 which is their home, and wander about down town, or through fields tu get away from them? Has a man m
 rights because he is soldier? There are many religious people who disap prove strongly of Teyiyals. with their intentiye emotionalism, who would not permit their religious worship and beliefs be rubbed into their face; that is to bring it into the place where he
 has a right to be, and where he cal not escape from it without abandon
 ing that place.
 Soldiers must be protected from
 imposition by their superior offices and if Uhe officers from weakness or other reason fail in their duty, their only recourse is submission or rios; and it is a safe guess that the latter is what you would have got with a typical old fashioned revival in any Of the camps.
 Every regiment has it's Chaplain and these practically represent very Christian denomination. many )f these Chaplains are Baptists. They regularly hold service in the camps. but at the priper times, and along the usual lines, just as services are ordi- narily held in church. By the way. does it not seem queer to you 10 have never indicated to any one of then that he should not preach to the men that they were lost? Do ycu, down deep in your heart really believe that after 20 years service as an officer am just now beginning to set myself up as an expert in Theological doc Urine, and taking it upon myself to die tate what shall or shall not be preach ed to the men under my command? Now let US be perfectly honest Is it not a fact that you were badly put cut because l would not let you have your way about conducting revivals in the camps and that you said to your self

PUBLIC OPINION ON DEPORTATION
WILL HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH WHAT STEPS ARE TAKEN BY
 THE GOVERNMENT HERE.
Officials at Washington Not Encour
 aged by Forerunners of the Reply That Will Be Made to First Protest

Washington. Dec. 9--American public opinion will decide what steps if any the government shall take to follow up its protest to Germany against the deportations of Belgians
 Chancellor von Bethmann Hollweks controversy with Charge Grew of the American embassy in Berlin, has convinced state department officials that Germanys formal reply to the American protest will hold the deqor tations justified on the ground of SO cial necessity.
 It was admitted unreservedly today that the action of the state depart ment in publishing the text of the pro test was to sound public opinion now that the ordinary resources Of dialo macy have been exhausted It was realized that publication of the docu ment might not be viewed with favor by Germany, but that was fully con sidered before the state department action was decided upon.
 Officials were not greatly encour. aged by todays press dispatches out lining the forthcoming German reply. The reply contains little, officials be lieve. that had not been said to Charge Grew before the formal Amer iCan protest was sent.
 Whether Germany's reply will be made public or answered, will not be decided until the receipt of the reply and the opinion of the American lub lie has been sounded
 The personal views of the president are yet to be laid before Germany by Ambassador Gerard. now on his way back to Berlin.
 Official information shows that de portations are continuing and it is the opinion here that whatever modi fications the Germans may have put into practice, the obnoxious principle of deportation remains virtually un altered. Some of the statements re ported to be contained in the Ger man reply differ widely from the of ficial information reaching the de partment, especially as to the sever ity with which the deportations are being carried out. The department has been convinced that the employ ed and those of independent means have been taken indiscriminately with the unemployed and the dependent. Officials do not desire to enter into long argument with Germany as tc details, and are satisfied with the ae l caracy oi their information C date One official said today the depart ment was ready to go ahead witi that as a basis if it were decided tt take further action,
 The general failure of the repre sentations of the United States, Hol land, Spain and the Vatican is caus ing increasing concern here for tn continuance of relief work in Belgium | especially in view of the second off cial statement from England publish ed today that Germany's action Wa l threatening the whole foundation O Belgian welief
