North Part of Ditch
Ordered Constructed

The Board OF County Supervisors
yesterday ordered the construction OF
the north six and three-quarter miles
of the Mosquito creek drainage ditch,
extending from the county line to the
vicinity of Underwood. Bids we're
called for to be opened December 9
at 2 o'clock p. m. All bids must be
filed on or before noon of that day.
The work is to be begun within ninety
days of award of contract and to be
fully completed in one year,
The engineers estimate of the cost
of the work is approximately $4,000.
1t will straighten the tortuous chan
mel of Mosquito creek, prevent over
flows and make available for filling
large areas of the richest farm land
in the world. With the exception Of
the Milwaukee railroad all of the
claims for damage have been pretty
we'll cleared up. The railroad has ap-
pealed to the district court and asks
about SCI 900 more than was awarded
by the commissioners.
The completion OF the ditch will
compel similar work on the remain
der of the channel to its outlet
into the Missouri river southeast Of
the city. This will add at least $780,
900 more to the cost, making it the
most extensive and expensive drain
age ditch enterprise yet undertaken
in the county,

Allies Able to Liberate Terri

ENGLISH VIEW OF MATTER

London, Nov. lS.-ln statement
made to The Associated Press today,
Lord Robert Cecil, minister ior war
trade, uttered vigorous protest
against Gernlany's deportation of Bel
gians and declared that the people Of
France and England, no less than the
people of Belgium, hope that Ameri-
can public opinion will show itself
not only in few days or weeks Of
protests and criticisms. but in steady
pressure upon the invaders OF Belgium
to conduct the war against the soldiers
OF the allies in the trenches and not
against the helpless civilians whom
they have in their power
Lord Robert reviewed the measures
taken by the entente allies to provide
for the Belgians and characterized as
"a lie" what he termed >Germany's at
tempt to justify its action by saying
that England was responsible Tor I'M

gian manufacturers and even imports
of raw material might be made free
under the control Of the Belgian re-
lief commission and that the commits
sion might control all the funds arts
ing out OF the trade. To none OF
these proposals have we had reply.
The Germans have consistently re-
fused to do anything to assist the re-
lief commission and Belgian industry.
Instead, they have cXacted-40, 100000
francs month from Belgium, requi-
sitioned every kind Of machinery and
raw material, seized the funds of the
National bank and restricted exports.
They have drained Belgium dry
and stripped it bare, and we all know
this policy was deliberately calculated
to create a maximum amount OF un-
employment in order that when the
proper moment arrived their slave
raids might begin.
Further. the Germans justify their
action on the ground that the unem-
ployment they themselves created had
become so bad as to ovcrstram the
resources OF the poor relief. This is
the most impudent thing even Ger
many has said since the war began.
You might think that the poor relief
referred to came from Germany or
from Belgium. AS matter OF fact,
it comes from the allies through the
relief commission. This country alone
in the last eighteen months has ad-
vanccd some $50,000,000 for food and
poor relief. This money goes from
us freely and without conditions, eX-
ccpt that it shall be under neutral
control.
1T is kind OF the Germans to be so
anxious not to overStrain our re-
sources, but it is fair to ask what right
the Germans have to make the charity
OF the world all excuse for enslaving
those who receive it. The Belgians
are going to Germany on no ordinary
work. They are to be caught up and
crushed i'll the great new German ma
chine for mobilizing labor.
To Be Scattered Everywhere.
"They will be scattered to all the
| towns in the remote corners OF Ger
many, from Silesia to Westphalia, and,
once caught upon the machine, they
will never return to Belgium. 1t is
this grinding up Of a nation piecemeal
that is the most horrible feature of the
situation.
Lastly, it must be remembered that
the allies can and will liberate Bel
gian territory. Meanwhile, they can
and will bear the burden of keeping
the Belgians from starvation. But
they cannot protect the Belgians from
slavery; they cannot insure that when
Belgium is liberated it will be ma
ton and not desert. 1t is only the
neutrals who can do this by the exer-
else of their public opinion"
Lord Robert concluded with an ex-
preston of hope that the pressure of
American public opinion would bring
about this result.
