"The secretary of state says the
United States government has eX-
hausted its means of diplomacy" Mr..
Choate continued. and therefore. lays
the, case before American public opin-
ion, from which it will expect to draw
guidance for the next steps, If any be
taken. I do not agree to that view. I
do not believe that we are bound to
continue diplomatic relations with a
nation that shall persist in such brutal
outrages, against the universal protest
Of the neutral world.
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Ho Hollweg
told Secretary Grew the deportations
are regarded as justified ON the
grounds of social necessity But the
same chancellor declared to the world
on the fourth of August. 1914. that the
invasion of Belgium was justified on
the same plea Of necessity, although
he admitted that it was all wrong and
was in violation of international law
and would be fully paid for. as it will
be by and by.
lor of Germany said the other day that
these deportations were in entire ac-
cordance with international law. and
were authorized by the convention
with respect to the laws and customs
of war on land, adopted by the first
Hague conference in 1899, which was
adopted by all the belligerent nations,
and particularly by the forty-third ar
| tfcle Of the convention. But this is a
Istill more frivolous and unfounded
| plea, which, I am not surprised to see.
the chancellor himself in his CONVEX
sation with Secretary Grew took no
notice Of and did not adopt.
article forty-three says nothing on
the subject, but simply requires the
occupant of territory under military
authority to take all steps in his pow
er to re-establish and insure, as far as
possible, public order and safety
Surely that does not require him to
tear the inhabitants Of that territory
by force from their homes and their
families, to exile them to foreign
country and there reduce them to slav-
cry and compel them to take the places
Of laborers who will recruit his own
hostile army. And the next article.
forty-four, expressly declares that any
compulsion of the population OF occu-
pied territory to take part in military
operations against its own country is
prohibited
Neither international law, nor the
usages of civilized nations, nor the
laws Of humanity, nor the require
ments of the public concern justify
these horrible proceedings, and Ger
many by its ratification of the final act
of the conference of 1899, bound itself
in the conduct Of war on land to be
governed by these lofty and noble
standards"

feat of armies has far less influence
on the future Of the world than this
one problem.
r A letter from Col Theodore Roose-
welt was read in which he declared
that Germany has trampled under
foot every device OF international law
for securing the protection Of the
weak and the unoffending," and has
shown an utter disregardyof all con-
siderations of pity, mercy, humanity
and international morality.
"Germany's campaign of methodical-
ly organized atrocities against the
Belgian people has eliminated in the
transplanting Of over hundred
thousand Belgian men into q condi-
where their labor is to be used in the
conquest Of their fellow -countrymen.
Similar transplanting Of civilian non
combatants, both men and women in
to slavery in Germany, has already
occurred in northern France.
"The outrages committed on our
own people have been such as the
United States has never before been
forced to endure, and have included
the repeated killing of our men. wom-
en- and children. The sinking of the
Marina and the Chemung the other
day, with the attendant murder of six
Americans, was but the most recent
in an unbroken chain OF injuries and
insults, which by comparison make
mere wrong to our property in this
sink into absolute insignificance-
"As long as neutrals keep silent
or speak apologetically. or take refuge
in the utilities of the professional
pacifists there will be no cessation In
these brutalities. But surely this last
and crowning brutality. which
amounts to the imposition Of a crue
form of state slavery on a helpless
and unoffeRding conquered nation
must make our people realize thai
they peril their own souls. that they
degrade their own manhood. IL they

ATTACKS
PROPOSED
MEASURE
President of Casualty Insur-
ance Companies Opposes
Compulsory Plan
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. 16.-Compulsory
health insurance for wage earners,
legislation for which has been pro-
posed, was strongly disapproved by
w. G. Curtis, Of Detroit Mich, presi-
dent Of a casualty insurance COM
pany, in an address before the tenth
annual convention of the Association
of Life Insurance Presidents here yes
terday. Mr.. Curtis summarized his OBJ
jections to compulsory health insur-
ance by saying 1t would produce these
results:
Impose a tax Of IS to effect a saving
Of 81.
Discard 3,35O,OoO of the 33,50o, 900
wage earners because Of age or ply
sical conditions. " a
Provide employment for ESQ, 900 poll :
ticians.
Create fund of $3.50, 100000 that
would be controlled or exclusively ad-
ministered politically.
Permit a small percentage Of ply
sicians to control most of the in
dustrial medical practice.
Establish socialism, paternalism and
class distinction.
Organization of a committee Of life
insurance presidents and commission
ers to study insurance taxation and
find remedies for the present system
was suggested by Charles F. Coffin,
vice president and general counsel Of
an Indianapolis insurance company.
The convention thereupon adopted a
resolution instructing the executive
committee to take up with other or
ganizations the study of insurance tax
laws and to prepare a taxation meas
ure.
Arthur Hunter, president of the
Acturial Society Of America, asserted
in an address that judging from in
surance statistics cancer was not con-
tagious nor hereditary.
George E. Edwards, president Of the
savings bank section OF the American
Bankers association, criticized the
savings bank insurance movement in
Massachusetts as undesirable pattern
alism. .a
The resignation OF Robert Lynn Cox
and general counsel and manager Of
the association, was accepted and Mr..
Cox and Alfred Hurrell, of this city,
were designated as a committee to
conduct it's affairs Temporarily.

FIGHT IS
GROWING
Battle for Prohibition AS
sumes Greater Proper
tions in Congress
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 16. - Legislative
measures aimed at the destruction
of the liquor traffic continue to
accumulate in congresa IS both houses
are delugedS with petitions from all
parts of the country urging adoption
Of the national prohibition constttu-
tional amendment and passage of 9TH
er anti-liquor measures including the
Sheppard bill to prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of liquor in the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
The house postoffice, committee
opened the door to another phase of
the problem in reporting favorably a
bill by Representative Randall OF
California, designed to close the malls
absolutely to advertising of any
intoxicating liquors and to deny mail
| order houses the right to go into eth
ed wet" or dry" territory to solicit
sales through the medium of the
| mails. .<.....s
No move was made during the day
by prohibition leaders in the house
regarding the amendment presented
| by the judiciary committee, but Rep
resentative Webb, chairman of the
committee plans to ask the rules COM
mittee for a special rule to get the
resolution before the house son after
| the holidays. ... -..
Now that excitement occasioned by
the unexpected action or the judiciary
committee in recommending the
resolution has subsided, house MEM
bers are rejecting on the prospects for
it's passage and the consensus Of opin-
ion seems to be that it cannot get the
| necessary two thirds majority in the
Sixty fourth congress. Even Repre-
| sentative Webb is not sanguine of sue
cess now, but he is confident that the
amendment will receive more votes
| than it did in the last congress, when
1t had thirteen votes more than a
majority. By the time the next con-
| gress has considered the issue he be-
lieves the victory can be won. The
| District Of Columbia prohibition bill
was under consideration for several
hours in the senate. but was tempor-
arily laid aside after Senator Sheppard
had sought an agreement to vote next
/ Monday. When opponents of the
measure signifed that they would be
ready for a final vote at that time
Senator Jones Of Washington, as a
friend Of the bill, objected to fixing
the date.
!! Senator Smoot of Utah, declaring
that the Sheppard bill is a makeshift,
submitted a substitute which would
not only prohibit the manufacture and
sale of liquor in the capital, but also
prevent it's importation for personal
use.

Points Raised in United Mine Work.
ers' Case Affects Rail Suit.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 16.-Questions of
contractual freedom affecting labor
unions and analogous to some points
raised in the Adamson law test cases
were argued yesterday by the supreme
court in litigation between the United
Mine Workers and American Flint
Glass Workers unions.
Assistant Attorney General Todd,
one of the governments counsel who
will defend the Adamson act; was an
interested listener.
In the cases up yesterday the Hitch
man Coal and Coke Co. of West Vir-
ginia seek permanent injunctions
against the respective unions to pre-
vent solicitation of members anon &
their employees who are under specific
contract not to join the unions.
The West Virginia corporations at
torneys told the court that the unions
operate in restraint of trade. while
the unions counsel declared that the
nom union employment contracts re-
strain trade by barring out all union
workmen. The arguments will be con-
cluded Monday.

War Department Making Heavy Pay
ments to Dependent Families.
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, Dec. 16.-The war de-
partment is paying out $4,000 a day
to the dependent families OF enlisted
men Of the regular army and national
guard. Major General Sharpe, quarter
master general. told the house mill
tary committee. The $2.00O.000 fund
for this purpose already provided vir-
tually is exhausted. he added, and
emergency legislation will be asked
to continue the payments. II disburse-
ments continue at the present rate a
deficiency of nearly $5.O00.000 will be
shown by the end of the fiscal year.
General Sharpe said the law limited
payments to the mothers. wives, and
children of soldiers and that in many
pathetic cases where aid had been
asked for fathers or sisters the appli-
cations could not be considered.

that 1t had been sharpened in such
