Bissing's Report on Exile
Order Received in Havre

Havre. Dec. l9.-The reply Of Gen
eral Won Kissing, German Governor
General in the occupied portion OF
Belgium. to the protests OF Belgian
Senators and Deputies now living in
Brussels against the deportation OF
Belgians, has been received by the
Belgian government
In it the German Governor repeats
the defence of his actions so often
given, saying that "a large part Of the
Belgian laborers have abandoned
work.; that "the long continuance OF
this situation began TO be felt in evil
effects; that, lin collaboration with
competent Belgian ministers. dec<ees
against idleness were issued" and
that "the DEGREES were founded upon
considerations Of health and conform
to the right which without doubt sub
ordinates a conquered people TO the
army Of occupation.

Lilith believed in votes for women. ap-
parently, in finger bowls and other ad-

One day Lilith got little more peev-
ish than usual. She took her tooth
brush and her other fglesf and started
for parts unknown. When next heard
of she had married Beelzebub, a
Phpnician merchant. And she had
many children.
And right here is where the ento-
mologists come in. The faithful fol
lowers of Adam pronounced tho chill
dren of Lilith "zebubs," or wssps. And
throughout al subsequent Jewish
mythology is found reference TO Lilith,

Yet Adam was not discouraged. He
went on record as favoring the clinging

more dependent upon the first gentle

conceded that janitorial difficulties were
successfully avoided until the serpent
made his appearance.
Mr.. Dow believes that the gentlemen
who were writing the Book of Genesis
we're not intimately familiar with the

Rumanian Grain Centre on
Danube in Peril-Rear
Guard Trapped
DEFENDERS CUT OFF
ON THE JALOMITZA
London and Berlin Expect
Great New Drive by Hin
denburg-Goal in Doubt

London, Dec. l9.-The German men
acc TO the Danube towns OF Rumanla
has grown more threatening. BY means
of forced marches from Buzeu, Mack
ensen's troops reached the line run
ming southeast from Rsmnicu-Sarat T.
Pilipesci, Bstogu and Viziru. and nov
are rapidly approaching Braila, the
great grain centre on the Danube.
In the operations of the last two
DAYS the Teutonic forces have captured
more than 1000 Rumauans and Rus
SLAMS, together With large food and
military supplies. The bulk of the
great stores in this region had been
destroyed or removed by the Ruma-
mans. however.
Rumanian Rear Guard Trapped
The fate or the RumaniaE rear
guard which. by defending the passage
Of the Jalomitza. helped the main
army TO escape beyond the Sereth, now
seems sealed. It is virtually certain
that they are completely cut off, though
il may be days before they-are actually
captured, a. they have considerable
tract Of territory in which to maneu-
vre.
The rcpulse OF small enemy detach
ments in the region southwest OF the
Sereth line is reported by Petrograd.
while Berlin states that the Entente
forces are still retreating IN the
Dobrudja. with the Teutons nearing
the mouth of the Danube.
viii Transfer Troops
The absence Of any large scale ope-
rations leads TO the belief that with
the completion Of the second phase of
the Rumanian campaign clearing
of Eastern Wallachia Msckensen is
preparing to transfer the majority Of
the troops freed for other operations,
perhaps on the Macedonian front.
Teutonic quarters are inclined TO
the opinion that the Teutonic armies
will be employed against Italy or Rus
STA, if a Macedonian campaign is found
to be too hazardous.
Successful enterprises by Turkish
and Bulgarian forces on the Macedo'
nian front are reported by Sofia TO
dav. The general situation near Mon
astir and the Nardar is quiet, however.

PLEA OF "MISTAKE"

Sinking Ships on Suspicion
Breaks Sussex Pledge.
Officials Say
rfror IN. Tribune Rar-ssl

Washington. Dec. TO- Official infor-
nation was received az the State De
partment to-day which swept away the
remnants Of Germany defence Of the
attack on the Marina and placed the
torpedoing Of that vessel. with the loss
OF six American lives. definitely in tho
same class with the destruction Of tho
SUSSEX. II was the SusseNcase which
called forth President Wilson's ulti-
matum OF last May. in which he warned
Germany that another deviation from
international law would mean break
in relations
The information received to-day was
denial by the British government of
the German allegation that the Marina
had at one time been IN the Admiralty
service as transport. Great Britain
previously had answered the charge
that the Marina was transport at the
time Of the attack. and now declares
that the vessel never had been other
than a peaceful private merchantman.
Skaters German Defence
This denial will be forwarded to Ber-
lin TO complete the evidence already
submitted by the United States proving
the baselessness Of the German dc
fence. As Germany has admitted that
the Marina was sunk without warning
in the belief that she was or had been
transport, high State Department
official admitted to-day that he could
not see what answer Germany could
now make to relieve the situation.
The only possible point OF difference
between the cases OF the Marina and
the SUSSEX is that the former was
armed Il is declared at the State De-
psrtment, however. that this fact has
no bearing on the case.
The plain fact is that Germany coun-
tenanced the destruction of merchant
vessels on Suspicion, without investi-
CATION Of their status through visit and
search. officials say. 1t is this pro-
cedure that President Wilson declared
TO be a necessary precaution If neutral
and humanitarian rights were TO be re-
spected.
Held Liable for Mistakes
The State Department has held IN a
formal opinion that the burden OF
proof is always on the attacking YES
sci and that If submarine commanders
do not take this precaution Of visit and
search any mistake" that may follow
must be charged 10 wilful disregard of
international law. On this basis it will
not be enough for Germany TO plead
that the commander was deceived as TO
the character Of the vessel.
The question which President Wilson
will have before him when the German
answer to the American statement OF
facts is received is merely whether he
will stand by the terms Of his Sussex
note or will give Germany another
chance. II is believed he will adopt
the latter course. both because there is
little popular agitation over the recent
submarine developments and because OF
the record Of good behavior made by
German submarines for SIX months FOL
lowing the Sussex attack.
The British government has not yet
replied in case Of the Arabia, the T.
and O. boat which Germany admitted
sinking without warning in the Med
iterranean i'm the belief that i was
