OSBORNE BARRED
FROM SING SING
Former Warden Excluded
by Order of Superin-
tendent of Prisons

Thomas Mott Osborne has been
barred from Sing Sing prison. 1t is
within the discretion of Acting Warden
Derrick to permit any other person wh'
may wish TO visit the place and con-
verse with such prisoners as may he
willing to converse with him. Mr.. Os-
borne, however, cannot pass the prison
gate.
This order. issued soon after elec-
ton by James VI. Carter. Superintend-
ent cf Prisons, became known through
meeting held this week, at which
were present the former warden, Mr.
Derrick and the superintendent At 1t
Mr.. Carter insisted that the order must
be lived up to, and that in no circuIn-
stances would Mr. Derrick, under PEN
altv of removal for characterization, be
permitted to allow Osborne within the
prison walls.
In making the order Mr.. Carter de-
clared that as the former warden had
seen st % resign from his post, he
thought it improper that he be allowed
to visit the prison for any purpose,
though the superintendent conceded
that Mr.. Osborne's great influence
among the prisoners was of value.
He suggested that Mr.. Osborne might
with advantage devote his time to OBJ
tanning work for discharged prisoners.
This work. the former warden pointed
out, was being taken care of by others.
Nh. Carter, however, insisted that the
order as issued must stand.
The exclusion of Mr.. Osborne from
the prison is a step further than was
taken at the time he was fighting the
indictments against him in Westchester
County. Then. on leave of absence, he
was frequent visitor at the prison,
assisting Dean George W. Kirchwey, in
charge of the place. with advice and
in other ways. This assistance, friends
of Acting Warden Derrick say, the lat
ter would be glad TO receive if Super
intendcnt Carter would let him.

Before reaching South Plainfeld the
train had run fourteen miles at the rate

u. S. May Send Third
Protest to Germany

Washington, Nov. 30.-The Belgian
Legation had not received at a late
hour tonight the information contained
in the cablegram from the Foreign Of
flee TO the Belgian Consul in New York.
As soon as it is received here it will
be transmitted to the State Department,
and there may be another-a third
appeal for stronger representations to
Germany.
Administration officials have not
abandoned hope of halting the Belgian
deportations. Il is rather from the
humanitarian than the legal point OF
view that President Wilson has inter
ested himself in the question. When
Mr.. Gerard returns TO Berlin ne will
present to the Foreign Office a semi
official protest, appealing TO Germany
to stop the deportations because of the
cruelty involved in separating fathers,
brothers and sons from their families.
and in compelling men to leave their
own country to 20 into industrial servi-
tude in a hostile land.
II this appeal also is unsuccessful,
which seems probable to observers who

labor, there will be yet another move
from the White House. What this will

been determined. II is certain, how

international etiquette permitted. by in

BELGIAN EXlLES
Germans Try to Force
Victims to Sign
Work Contracts

Thousands of Belgian workmen who
have been deported by Germany ire
being coerced by starvation into sign
ing "work contracts" according TO
cable. message received last night by
Pierre Mali, Belgian Consul, from Car
ton de Wiart, Belgian M.nister OF
Justice at Havre. France.
According to the latest informa-~
ton received here, more than 1907
GOO Belgian workmen have already
been thrown out of their homes
and brought into slavery to un-
known places" says the message.
"The mothers, wives and children
who want to retain them are driven
back with brutality by the German
bayonets and are torn with des-
pair.
"The Belgian Government has
lust sent bread through the SWISS
Government to 10000 OF these un-
fortunates actually kept together
in Soltau Camp, where the Ger
mans are breaking them with
starving system to try to get them
to sign work contracts.
What will the American people
whose Belgian relief work is put
into serious danger think abou
this? What would the great soul 0.
Abraham Lincoln have thought
about it,"
A message Of similar import was re-
ceived by the consul from Baron Bey-
ems. Minister of Foreign Affairs for
Belgian. The deportation continues, he
saws. without distinction between en-
ployed and unemployed.
"They are gathered together" he
says, "and transported with great bru-
tality. Railway men are especially
searched for. At the same time me
Germans are multiplying their requisl-
tions of machinery and tools, achieving
in this way the stoppage Of all kinds
of industry, constantly increasing the
number Of unemployed"
King Albert is deeply moved at the
plight of his people, Mr.. de Wiart said
in a message sent to Louis de Sadeleer,
Belgian Minister of Justice.

McAllen. Tex. Nov. 3O.--Colonel

Such a public rebuke, administered

was said by the officers concerned, ieit
them no recourse but 10 tender their

not soothed by the fact that General

YORK BOY
CITED AS HERO IN
FRENCH ORDERS
But Julian Allen. Hero at Six
teen, Must Return from
Ambulance Work

Julian Allen, of New York, sixteen
years old, the youngest driver in the
American Ambulance Corps in France,
has been cited in army orders for con-
spicuous bravery, according to a cable
gram received last night from Paris.
The youth, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
erick II. Allen, of Pelham Manor, has
been lodging German bombs and ma
chine gun bullets for sixteen months,
having joined the American Ambu-
lance when he was only a little more
than fifteen.
The cablegram from Paris states that
young Julian "volunteered to transport
wounded. requiring urgent care, from
relief posts TO hospitals over route
in sight of the enemy, frequently
shelled and swept by machine gun fire. !"
His action is called "a fine example OF
bravery and endurance"
That's certainly a record to be proud
Of" said the lads father, when in
formed last night how his son had been
honored, "but he ought TO be at home
studying his books instead of risking
his life out there. He's been there six
teen months now. and ! think he's
done enough We expect him home be-
fore Christmas, and then I'll put him
under a tutor, so ne can make up the
time he's lost in his studies while over
there" His father says that he must
take entrance examinations for Har-
ward in June.
Julian followed the example of his
elder brother, Frederick, when he
ioined the American Ambulance Corps
in the summer Of 1915. Fearing ne
would be barred because Of his youth,
he told the authorities he was seven
teen years old, Later his deception
was discovered, but he was allowed TO
remain. He soon became the hero OF
the ambulance corps drivers, to whom
he became affectionately known as

Chauffeur Gives Blood
to Aid Standard
Oil Man

Wife, Worn Out by a
Week of Worry,
CollapseS

Slight improvement was seen last
night in the condition of John d. Arch
bold, who since his operation for ap-
pendicitis a week ago has been steadily
sinking at his home at Tarrytown. Some
hope for his ultimate recovery was still
held out, for the i'll man showed a
slight gain after he had received a
TRANSMISSION Of blood from his own
chauffeur.
Early yesterday morning it was
feared that the Standard Oil magnate
would die before night. The efforts of
FIVE physicians to check the gradual
ebbing away of his vitality had been
unsuccessful. They decided that there
was only one hope left-blood trans
fusion.
Mr. Archbold had put in a restless
night. His ragged constitution had
apparently been bested in the stru ygle.
Yesterday morning it was impos able
for him TO retain food. The physicians
called for volunteers to give their
blood. Several persons offered them
selves. Among them was the chauffeur.
Doctors Pick Chauffeur
The FIVE doctors drew off test cul-
lures of blood from all Of those who
had offered themselves. One after an
other these were found unsatisfactory.
Then the chauffeur was examined.
He is a clean-skinned, husky fellow
who neither drinks nor smokes, and mis-
blood was found pure. A few minutes
later he sat by his employers bedside.
DR.. George l.. Brewer, of l6 East Six
ty-fourth Street, clapped the end of a
tiny tube over severed vein in his
arm. Through the tube the chauffeur's
blood was flowing into the wasted body
Of Mr. Archbold.
Last night the i'll man was better.
lie had been able to take little nour-
ishment and his physicians were once
more optimistic They hope that his
improvement is not a temporary rally
and that the worst part Of his struggle
is over.
John ID. Rockefeller Worried

restless over the condition OF his
friend, was informed of the change.
So was William Rockefeller, who has

Teller at Pocantico Hills the Sunday be-
fore the operation. He did not feel well.
Monday he still was indisposed, but
went to his Office on his yacht Vixen,
as usual Tuesday he was obliged TO
stay at homo, bat it was not until
Wednesday that he called DR.. Brewer.
The ailment was diagnosed as append
