NEUTRAL NATIONS
ARE ASKED TO ACT
France Protests Treatment Of
Inhabitants of Lille, Rou-
baix and Tourcoing.
GERMANY IS RESPONSIBLE

Paris, July 30-Premier BRAND has
addressed to J. J. Jusserand, the
French ambassador at Washington,
and to the other French representa-
tives in neutral countries, directing
them to present them to the govern
ment to which they are respectively
accredited, a note reading as follows:
Il ask you to call the attention Of
the government to which you are &C.
credited to the treatment which the
populations of Lille, Roubaix and
Tourcoing have been subjected by the
German authorities.
Cites Hague Article.
THE French government in the
presence of revealed facts invokes ar
ticle iii of The Hague convention con-
corning laws and customs of conduct
ing land warfare to the end that Ger
many be held responsible for the vio-
lation Of the rules by its armed forces.
Until decision by arms has per-
mitted the rcconquering Of these oc-
cupied regions, the sole means OF
making this effort is BY pressing an
appeal to the sentiments of justice
and humanity of neutral powers and
the public opinion of all nations.
Il therefore ask you in presenting
this note to ask the government to
give It the most serious attention, as
It constitutes the protest of the
French government against the condi-
tions which It brings to the attention
OF the civilized world by the testi-
mony from many sources"
Protests in Vain.
After reciting the efforts made by
the government, through the Spanish
| government, to stop the German prac-
tees in invaded regions, the document
adds:
To-day, all our protests having
been in vain, we place the evidence
before the eyes of neutral powers, as
sured of the judgment that universal
conscience will pass upon such condi-
tons and that will be incumbent on
the German government in case it
undertakes to question this evidence.
To this end the German government
must authorize the neutral powers to
conduct an investigation, notably of
the events occurring at Lille, Rou-
baix and Tourcoing and surrounding
communities from April % to %. If
they refuse to authorize an inquiry it
will be recognition of the veracity
Of the facts denounced"
The note is accompanied by mass
of testimony concerning the seizure
for work in fields of thousands of
women and young girls. The docu-
ment says that the events which oc-
Cured at Lille, Roubaix and Turcoing
were only the application of the cruel
system OF work forced on the popu-
lation, and describes the various forms
Of violence the Germans are accused
OF having practiced.

STIFLE JAPAN'S PRESS
Papers frequently Suppressed
Because of Certain Articles
Contained.
PRESS BECOMING AROUSED

Correspondence Of Tho Associated Press)
Toxic, June 30,-Frequent suppress
sions OF the editions of Japanese
newspapers recently, on the ground
that they contained articles inimical
to public welfare, have aroused the in
dignation Of the press throughout the
country. The government is being
severely attacked for attempts to
muzzle the press and stiAe the right
of free speech"
The matters which caused the seiz-
ure OF the editions were, FIRST, COM
ment on the trial OF the men accused
Of throwing bombs at Premier Count
Okuma, and, second, the opinions OF
Tokitoshi Taketomi, the minister OF
finance, on the recent economic con-
ference at Paris.
The articles on the Okuma case
were simply reports of the closing
court addresses of the lawyers of the
accused. The copies Of one or two
newspapers which published ver-
batim report of the arguments were
immediately seized and burned. 1t is
understood that the lawyers bitterly
arraigned the government for alleged
unconstitutional acts and in the
course OF the plea for q verdict Of in
nocence or, at least, light sentence,
sought to justify or explain the act
Of the accused by blaming the pres
ent state Of society in Japan. The
lawyers claimed that assassina atoms or
attempted outrages resulted from in.
tolerable social conditions.
In the interview with Mr.. Taketomi
the minister was quoted as doubling
the efhcacity Of the recent economic
conference.

Japanese Journalist that the presi
should always be guided by . desire
to print only what is for the good o.

casions they had printed matter which
might prove harmful. He said: "Ow

war and its effects upon this empire

ton at home and our relations abroad
New, unheard-of phenomena rose II

Of the entente powers became close

rode out to the grounds.
The principal attrac-

with the optimism of
youth, that they might
earn dime or two. Few
of the concessionaires and
exhibitors, however, had
arrived; and the clatter
of carpenters mending
roofs and fences, while =.
rather pleasing at first, -zea
soon palled on the boys.
Stub then suggested that
they go over to the track,
where two teams were
working with drag and
roller and a few race horses
were being exercised.

on Children's Day at the Fair, you have
always happened-or managed-to catch
glimpse of slim, sleek equine bodies
flashing swiftly past the gaps in the howl
ing, hat-waving crowds at either end of
the grand-stand, you are bound to be
tremendously curious about race-tracks.
And if, moreover you own pony whose

parental restrictions were trifles light as

"He would if l asked him."
"Well, you didn't ask him, did you?
Don't be a gutter. Come on"
And Bantry went.
THEY eventually reached the stables,
as moth the flame. Here, on ground
strewn with clean, bright straw, horses
were being shod, washed with warm water,
polished with chamois skins, their names
and tails plated, their joints massaged
with pungent lotions and balms. Other
horses, swathed to the eyes in blankets,
were being walked slowly to and fro by
attendants.
"That's so they won't cool off too
quick and ketch cold" explained Stub,
from the underground of one who had
carried water for the grooms the previous
year. "Some of them horses is worth
