SEEK FRESH AIR HOME.

Rural surroundings for dependent families and those in need of fresh air is advocated by George L. War ren, general secretary of the Chari- ties Organization society of Bridge port. MT. Warren spent some time yesterday in Stepney and Long Hill seeking places available for Bridge porters. He is of the opinion that the question of high rents here may be solved by the rural communities if their residents aid in bringing be- fore the public of Bridgeport availa- ble rents in their sections.

the emblem of the G. o. P. should be a polar bear instead of little stuffed
 elephant. Says MT. Bryan:
 eff one had come into the hall after the vote was taken, he would never lave suspected that these seemingly in- different delegates had joined in nom mating the candidate for the highest office within the gift of the people in the world. The convention. had al- ready established a reputation for chilling receptions, but this was prob ably the most frfgidi greeting ever given to a victorious aspirant for a
 Presidential nomination.
 "The nomination of MT. Fairbanks
 for Vice President was effected under conditions which have no indication of a thaw. If the temperature of the
 convention is any indication of the
 character of the campaign, it will be necessary to substitute a polar bear
 for the elephant before election day" Wilson a Force at Chicago.
 The Sprin ngfield Republican printed
 the following editorial under the cap
 ton Wilson at Chicago when the Republican convention was in session.
 "The part the President is playing
 in the conventions of his political op- ponents at Chicago is a notable and an unusual experience for Democrat.
 Wilson is there. He is a force con stantly sfn the reckoning of both Re- publicans and Progressives.
 Equal to 20 Years of Routine ''Wilson, whatever his limitations and failures,a is to-day the most thor oughly trained and experienced of liv- ing American statesmen in internation- al affairs and diplomacy; for two years of diplomatic leadership and responsi- |bility during the greatest of all the worlds wars have been equal to 20 years of routine as President or Secre- tary of State in normal times. His su- preme service thus far has been the maintenance of peace. At the end of four years of executive power and leadership in these tremendous days, he will be a valuable asset of the na- tion, as keen as a blade, ready for any business in statesmanship. And all this the public knows, and.. knowing, it is not worried by the outlook. For, whatever the parties in opposition may
 do. there is Wilson to fall back upon.
 That is why, in the last5analysis. Will son is at Chicago"

The Old Where

The world is eternally plagued by a
class Of estimable people who dread
the new. Their instinct is to club it
over the head. Since that primitive
implement went out Of fashion they
have carried an antique nintlock pis-
toll known as an old wheeze. With
this they take deliberate aim and the
noise which follows is. "Of course
there is some truth in what you say.
but you can never change human ma
ture." Now while old campaigners
like Columbus, Darwin, Cromwell and
Giordano Bruno could view this weaD-
on with equanimity, it did often terrify
amateur rebels into silence, until one
holder than the rest looked unfiinch-
ingly into the bore. The reward OF
his courage was this damaging discov.
cry. The Old Wheeze is loaded with
nothing but blank cartridges-Sev-

DIPLOMATIC MEANS
Are NOW EXHAUSTED
German Refusal to Stop Depor-
tations Final so Far as u.
S. Is Concerned.

Washington. Dec. 11.-With publica-
tion of he American protest to Ger
many on the deportations Of Belgians,
state department officials disclosed to-
day the United States government has
exhausted it's means OF diplomacy and
tic opinion from which it will expect
to draw guidance for the next steps il
any be taken.
Germany's reply, conveyed in conver-
sations with Charge Grew, at Berlin, by
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg, is
that the deportations are regarded as
justified on the grounds OF social ne
cessity.
No actual reply in the form of a note
has been received from, Germany, but
no doubt has been felt by the chancellor
that the protest of the United States
will not be needed.
Official information shows also that
the deportations are continuing. Pub.
lication Of the protest, it was disclosed
at the state department today, to be for
the purpose OF placing the case before
American public opinion. 1t was also
recalled that he publication OF the doc
u1nent might be interpreted as un-
friendly, but that this contingency had
been taken into consideration before
it was given out.
The state department feels that it
has gone far beyond the usual diplo-
matte bounds In its protest to Germany
and that in a strictly conventional
sense 1t had almost no right to discuss
the matter at all with Germany, as
Relgium's interests In thai country are
represented by Spain and not by the
diplomatic procedure now admittedly
exhausted theadepartiment has no other
%ecourse than to give the facts to the
public n leave the case with it.
