WAR CABINET NAMED S. SENDS PROTEST
WASHINGTON FORWARDS NOTE
70 BERLIN ON DEPoRTING CIT
liens OF BELGIUM.
CALLED BLOW TO HUMANITY
Document Cabled to American Charge
Grew After President Wilson Dis
cussed Matter With Ambassador
Gerard-Germany Defends Action.

Washington, Dec. IA note TO Ger
many protesting against the deporta-
ton of Belgians for forced labor was
contrary to all precedents and humane
principles of international practice was
made public on Friday by the state de-
| partment.
The note was cabled to Charge Grew
at Berlin on November 20, the day Am
bassador Gerard discussed the subject
with President Wilson, with instruct
! tons that he read 1t to the German
chancellor personally.
In making It public, the state depart
ment announced that the interview had
taken place but said nothing about re-
suits.
The text of the protest follows: .
1.-THE government of the United
| States has learned with the greatest
concern and regret OF the policy of the
German government to deport from
Belgium a portion Of the civilian popu-
lation for the purpose of forcing them
to labor In Germany, and is constrained
to protest In friendly spirit, but most
solemnly against this action which is
in contravention of all presidents and
of those principles of international
practice which have long been accepted
and followed by civilized nations in
their treatment of noncombatants In
conquered territory.
Furthermore, the government of the
/ United States is convinced that the eff
feet Of this policy, If pursued, will in
all probability be fatal to the Belgian
relief work, so humanely planned and
so successfully carried out, a result
which would be generally deplored and
which, 1t Is assumed, would seriously
embarrass the German government"
Senator Lodge introduced copy Of
resolutions adopted by the American
Rights league at Boston. condemning
! the deportation from Belgium of non
combatants and calling upon congress
"to support the president of the United
/ States In every measure he undertakes
TO maintain Americas traditional po-
sition as the friend and the champion
/ OF all the oppressed"
/ Berlin, Dee, 1.-THE German gov
/ ernment Issued statement on Friday
in explanation and justification of the
transfer of Belgian laborers 10 Ger
| many II says the measure is by no
means a hardship for the laborers, but
/ is social necessity.
/ Owing chiefly 10 the British embargo
/ against Belgium's overseas trade which
before the war supported a large part
of the industrial population, large num-
bers of Belgian workers are idle, the
/ statement says, and conditions are
/ growing worse

Americas Eat Population.

The board bill for American rats Is
about S1S2, 100000 annually. Or. Rich
ard II. Creel, who has earned big lau-
rels as an expert in figures, estimates
the rat population as equal TO the hui
man population. But unless proper
preventive measures are taken speed
lily, the rats in the country will make
a charge on our resources far in excess
of the present figure. AS rapid breed
ers, rats leave the guinea pigs far In
the rear. From ten to eighteen rats
arrive in a litter. Litters are bimonth-
ly events in rat nests, and the young
rats begin to multiply when they are
from three TO six months old. Rats
have become a real national menace

LINER CALLED A TRANSPORT
Note From Germany Contends Subma.
rine Commander Believed Arabia
Was Carrying Troops.

Washington, Dec. Germany In a
note made public on Thursday by the
state department contends that the
British steamer Arabia, sunk in the
Mediterranean November 6, was in
reality "a transport ship for troops in
the service of the British government,
which is to be considered as an aux
Hilary wraship according to interna-
tlonal law, and can, therefore, be treat
ed like a warshlp." The German gov
ernment's attitude, however, like that
in the Marina case, is expressed to be
one of readiness TO make amends il II
be shown that the submarine comman-
der violated Germany's pledges to the
United States and made ''regrettable
mistake"
1t may be said that the United States
does not regard the circumstances that
the German note recites as showing
justification for sinking the Arabia
without warning or as relieving the
submarine commander from establish
ing the status of the liner.

was announced officially here on
Wednesday.
Ploechti, the important railway
junction town. SO miles northwest of
Bucharest also has been taken.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen's

ate their positions north of Sinaia. the
war office announced.
South of Bucharest the Teutcnic
troops have occupied other towns
along the River Alt. More than 5000
Roumanians We're captured.
The capture of Ploechti, on the rail-
way running north from Bucharest,
cuts the main line of retreat for the
Roumanian armies operating in the
Bucharest region. The official state
ment does not indicate whether the
entry Of the Teutonic forces into Blu
charest and Ploechti was slmultane-
Gus. The capture of Ploechti before
that of the capital would be far more
serious for the Roumanians.
The taking of Bucharest virtually
completes the conquest by the Teu-
tonic forces of the southern section of
the Roumanian kingdom, embracing
territory of more than $4,000 square
miles.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Private adj

Monday telling of the secret proceed
ings in the French chamber of deputies
during the last week confirm previous
reports that General Petain, the de-
feniler of Yerdun, is to succeed Gen
eral Joffre in supreme command of all
the allied forces on the western battle
front, as the first result of radical
changes in organization which are to
follow concentration of management
of the war in small council, as has
been done in England.
The hero of Douaumont and the
savior of Verdun, as General Petain
has been called, is not defensive
fighter in spite of the fact that his
late reputation was gained by one of
the most remarkable defensive feats
In the history of the war. 1t was as

led his regiment in a charge that won
for him the rank of brigadler. This

Petain, now commanding great

of everything related 70 IL
That Is why homo efficiency has come TO %
the second slogan Of the New York State "om-
an Suffrage Party. Until the vote is Sc
cured "Votes for Women" will always be the
rallvinp cry. But we feel that we have gone
so far toward securing tho vote that we can
afford to give good proportion OF thought
and work toward the securing of the best pos
sble home conditions and utilizing the best
products of modern science and invention for
the securing Of efficiency in the home.
HOME EFFICIENCY THE FOUNDATION.
II is self-evident fact that, even as the bal
lot is an absolute necessity for the woman who
undertakes to do her share toward bringing
about better living conditions, SO knowledge
of efficient household administration is foun-
dation of ability to exercise wisely the power
given by possession Of the vote.
Women are the housekeepers Of the world.
In their hands rests the welfare Of the race.
Therefore the public health Is as much their
business as the health Of their own children.
To this end they are bending every effort
to secure pure food, to make sure that the
milk supply and water supply are above re-
enough to eliminate filth diseases. And, as
administrators of thu greater part OF the
worlds income, It is their business 10 see that
the cost Of living does not run ahead Of the
standard Of living.
CHANGE WROUGHT BY EXPERIENCE.
With generation Of thought and work, the
whole attitude Of women toward public affairs
has undergone a change. Also the type OF
woman interested in public affairs has changed.
Years ago a large proportion Of the women
who worked for the vote were women without
home ties, or upon whom home duties sat
lightly, and they worked for an abstract princi-
pie Of acknowledged citizenship rather than
for concrete benefit in the shape Of power
to solve problems that affected their own lives
and those Of their children.
Nowadays the woman who works most ener-
getically for suffrage is the young housekeep-
err who is determined to eliminate the double
standard of efficiency the young mother who
is determined to have the best the world can
offer for her children.
Household drudgery once eliminated, the
