AMERICANS SEND
PROTEST TO KAISER
PROMINENT MEN OF NATION RE-
NoUNcE ENsLAVINe OF
BELGlANS.
URGE GOVERNMENT TO ACT
Resolutions Adopted and Vigorous
Speeches Made at Mass Meet
ing Held at New York
Unjustifiable.

New York-Vigorous expressions
were voiced at a mass meeting held
here to protest against the ''enslave-
ment of Belgians" by the German gov
eminent. The deportation of the Bel
gian population was condemned in
letters from Theodore Roosevelt,
Archbishop Ireland, Joseph H. Choate
and Bishop Thomas O'Gorman of
Sioux Falls. Equally forceful were
addresses delivered by Elihu Root,
Alton B. Parker and Rev. William T.
Manning, rector of Trinity church,
who presided.
Resolutions were adopted urging
the government of the United States
to protest with all its force, to show
the detestation with which the Amer
lean people regard these abuses, and
TO request the German government,
in the nam of all the neutrals, to
cease it's policy of e~xpatriation and
slavery" and pledging "our utmost
support to the administration in what
ever way it may conclude to act"
THE meeting in New York in pro-
test of deportation of Belgians," Arch
bishop Ireland wrote, receives a cor
dial and sympathetic re-echo from the
Americans elsewhere on the continent.
The meeting speaks in the name of
primary duties of justice and human
ity. Those to whom your protest is
addressed will not, l believe, turn a
deaf ear to your entreaties, and will,
on calmer thought desist from the
dreadful rigors into which for the mo
ment war passion has led them.
1.-THE peace-abiding civilian popula,
ton of a country has the inalienable
right to live on their own soil. Forced
tabor on that Of their foe finds no.
where justification.
For its own sake, for the sake OF
The honorable record it covets in the
history of nations, Germany will, lei
US hope, quickly reverse its present
position and leave Belgians to live
and to suffer on their own Belgian
soil"

GREECE YIELDS TO ALLIES
TERMS OF ULTIMATUM NOT YET
GIVEN OUT.
Thought That Constantine Communi-
Gated With Germany Before Civ
ing in to the Demands.

London, England.-Greece has &C
cepted the allies ultimatum, a Cen
trail News dispatch from Athens has
announced.
The terms of the allies ultimatum
have not been made known. The
original demands made upon Greece
were for surrender of her arms, con-
troll of the telegraph and postal sys-
tens by the allies and also a guar
antee of Greece's neutrality.
The original demand for disarma-
ment was made by the French Vice
Admiral Du Fournet. A long period
of negotiations followed. De Fournet
finally set a time limit of compli-
ance.
Greece made partial acquiescence,
/ but further complications interviewed,
and finally the allies landed troops
at Piraeus, which marched to Athens.
There was fighting in the outskirts
of the city between these forces and
the Greek re~servists. The allies al
legged treachery and as a measure of
reprisal Immediately instituted a
blockade of Greece and put a ban on
departure of Greek shipping from the
allied ports. Presumably the report
ed surrender to the ultimatum as
above comes because Greece foresaw
being starved out.
There has been a number Of indi'
cations that in the interim between
establishment of the blockade and the
reported action King Constantine
has been communicating with Der
lin, possibly with the hope of throw
ing his lot with the Teuton powers
and affecting a juncture of his forces
with German troops in the Balkans
