DEPORTATION JUSTIFIED
Germany Claims it Was for Best In

Berlin, Dec 14.-Germany's reply
TO the inquiries of the United States
into the matter OF the Belgian unem-
ployed and the deportation of Bel
gians is published in the Norddeutche
Allegenmeine zeitung and is given
out by the Overseas news agency as
follows:
"The government of the United
States of America has protested
against the Transportation of Belgian
working men to Germany and against
their compulsory employment FOR
work, Easing this on the view that
those measures are in contravention
of humane principles and of interna-
tional practice as to their treatment

the measures. and therefore considers
II appropriate first to explain the
facts in detail.
in Belgium unemployment for a
considerable time has been extending
in q perplexing fashion among the in
dustrial working men. This preya-
lence of unemployment has been
caused by the English policy of iSo-
lation, which has cut off Belgian in
dustry from the importation Of raw
material and the expectation Of manu-
featured goods and has thus brought
the greater part of Belgian industry

most dangerously affected by general
unemployment and the accompanying
consequences, this situation makes 1t
extremely desirable and urgent that
efficient measures for improvement
be taken. This necessity has been
recognized and pointed out also by
fairminded Belgians for long time.

to procure for all the unemployed

Professional Mourners.

In ancient times funerals were fol-
lowed by professional mourncrs, who
simulated the appearance Of the wild
est grief. The custom survives in the
valley OF Sondrio, in the Alps. There
tile women do not follow the funeral,
but they group themselves at the en-.
trance to the cemetery and burn, in
honor Of the dead candles which vary
In size according to The remuneration.
They are as prodigal as were the
mourners of ancient times in their sim
ulation OF excessive grief. - London

TAKE UP A BILL
Passage of Immigration Act Seems
Assured by the Action
Taken Today.

Washington. Aug. 21.-By 81 TO "a
the senate today voted 10 take up the
immigration bill which the democratic
caucus had determined to postpone
until next session. Eight democrats
voted with republicans for the motion.
Passage OF the bill seemed assured
bv foday's action and IL was predicted
the bill would be brief. President Will
son vetoed the bill last year because OF
the litcracy test.
Some democratic senators believe
the president will not veto the Dill
again, although it retains the iiteracy
test to which he then objected.
The motion 10 take up the bill was
made by Senator Smith of South Caro-
lima, chairman OF the immigration
committee The committee has amend
ed the house bill in an effort TO meet
objections of Japan 10 the sections re-
lating to Asiatic exclusion.

REDUCED COAL RATE
GOES INTO EFFECT

Washington. Aug. 81. - The inter
state commerce commission has de-
clined to suspend proposed reduced
rates on bituminous coal over the Chi
cago and Alton railroad from Illinois
mines to Kansas City, Mo, and the
rates will become effective at mid
night.
The present coal rate is S1.90 per ton
on slack coal and the rate effecave to-
night will be SIPS. Railroads trans
porting coal from the fields in Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas
opposed the reduction on the grounds
that they could not compete with the
Illinois coal under the new rates be-
cause coal can be mined cheaper in
Illinois than in those states. The com
Missions decision does not affect the
right of shippers to complain against
the new rate if they believe it unjust.
