 Tn his reply the governor general no longer urges these two first con- alterations, but he alleges that 'doles to the unemployed from whatever source they may come at present. must finally be a charge upon our finances, and that it is the duty of a good administrator to tighten such charges; he adds that prolonged un- employment would cause our work men to lose their technical proficiency, and that in the time of peace to come they would be useless to industry
 Speaking of Finances.
 True, there were other ways in which our finances might have been protected. We might have been spared those war levies which have now reached the sum of one billion francs, and are still mounting up at the rate of forty millions a month; we might have been spared those requisi- tions in kind, which amount to several thousands of millions, and are ex- i hausting us.
 There are other ways of providing for the maintenance of professional

And it is neither to the i quarries nor to the line kilns to which l the Germans themselves declare they will send our unemployed that our 1 specialists will go to complete their professional education.
 "The naked truth is that every de- ported workman is another soldier for 1 the German army. He will take the l place of German workman, who will l be made into a soldier. Thus the situation which we denounce to the civilized world may be reduced tC 1 these terms: Four hundred thousand 1 WOrkmen have been thrown out of work by no fault of their own, and l largely on account of the regime ot l the occupation. Sons, husbands and 1 fathers of families, they bear their 1 unhappy lot without murmuring, re- spectful of public order: national solidarity provides their most pressing wants; by dint of unselfish thrift and | self-denial they escape extreme de- ! stitution, and they await with dignity : and in a mutual affection which our national sorrows have intensified, the 1 end of our common ordeal.

 The day after the equalization of Antwerp, the frightened populace asked itself what would Become of the Belgians of military age or those which would arrive at that age be- fore the end of the siege. Baron vOn Huene, military governor of Ant werp, authorized me to reassure in his name the frightened parents. l However, as rumOrs were running 1 that in Antwerp, Liege, Namur and Charleroi, young men had been seized and fOrcibly carried off to Germany, I asked Governor vOn Huene to con- firm to me in writing the verbal guar anteeS which he had given me. He replied that the rumors pertaining to deportatiOns were without foundation

 "Under pretext of public works to be performed on Belgian soil, the occupying power had attempted to obtain from the comm unities the lists of working men out of work. M lost of the committees proudly refused.
 Three decrees from the general government prepared the way for the execution which is in force today.

,MERCIER'S PROTEST
 ON DENOMINATIONS
Full Text of Belgium Cardinals'S x Famous Letter to Germans

New York, Dec. 15.-Cardinal Mer- of Belgians to Germany, only brief excerpts of which came in the cable pydespatches, has been received here by The Associated Press in it's full text, as follows:
 ''Malines, Nov ', 1916.
 "Every day the military authorities deport from Belgium into Germany , thousands of inoffensive citizens to oblige them there to perform forced : labor.
 "As early as October 18th we sent to the governor general a protest, a copy of which was handed to the rep resentatives of the Holy See, of Spain, the United States and Holland, in Brussels, but the governor general re- piled to 1t that nothing could be done.
 At the time of our protestation, the orders of the occupying power threatened only the unemployed; to- day every able-bodied man is carried off, pell-mell, assem- bled in freight cars, and carried off to unknown parts, like a herd of slaves. The enemy proceeds by regions. Vague rumors had come to our ears that arrests had been made in Tournau Ghent and Alost, but we were not aware of the conditions under which they had been made. Between Octo- Der "A and November 2, it occurred in the region of Mons, Quievrain Saint Guislain, Jemappes, in punches of 800 to 1900 men a day. The next and the following days, it occurred ir 1. the Arrondissment of Nivelles. Here is a specimen of the announcement concerning the proceedings:
 By order of the Kreischef every male person over IT years old, shal present himself, Place Saint Paul, i1 Nivelles, on November 8, 1916, at o'clock Belgian time) o'clocl Central Time) bringing with him hi! Identification card and eventually hi card from the Meldeamt

The People Paw,

The people of the United States are
paying wal prices for a great many ar
ticles Of everyday use because those
articles are not produced at home. In
other words, they are having a prac-
teal demonstration at so much per of
the Democratic free-trade idea. The
idea is that we ought to buy where we
can buy cheapest. 1t may have worked
in the old days, but it doesn't work
now, because all the cheap sources of
supply are closed. If the old Repub-
lican idea of protecting industry in our
own country had been followed con
siStently for the last ten or fifteen
years we should have had factories
busy in the production of all these
things, and u people would be able
to purchase them at reasonable prices.
Right now the mistake of abandoning
the theory of protection Is costing the
people of this country more thana 1t
costs any European nation to do its
part in the war.-Yakima Republic.

Floor Plan.

ibout in a space built around a rec
tangular arrangement of feed racks in
the center. The number of animals
which the barn will house is deter
mined by the number which car be
accommodated at the feed rack with
out crowding, and the size of the
space around the rack should be made
such that the cattle may move about
and adjust themselves in comfort.
The barn should be provided with
sufficient storage capacity to hold
enough feed for the number of cattle
to be housed in the structure, and
from the standpoint Of convenience 1T
must be fitted in such a way that this
feed may be easily given to the cattle.
The. elimination of manual labor is
one of the largest items which has
entered into the recent development of
farm-building architecture. 1t neces-
states the arrangement of all farm
buildings in such a manner that adj
vantage may be taken of the modern
labor-saving devices which farmers
have found 90 valuable. Farm build
ings are no longer thrown together
with the sole purpose of making them
large enough and strong enough.
Several large firms are now keeping
extensive departments in which the
entire time Of their trained men Is de-
voted IN careful planning Of farm
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1916-10-12

and the feed racks, but there is still a
very generous space allowed In which
the cattle may move about. There are
no dark corners in this part Of the
earn. The doors are so distributed
that the cattle may be driven into the
barn from three sides.
The arrangements for stock feeding
are very satisfactory to stockmen
who have tried this plan. 1t furnishes
a correct solution of the problem dur
ing any kind Of weather.
A further important point which
should be considered in the construc-
ton of a barn Of this type is ventila-
ton. A large number of cattle housed
together In a building require a large
quantity of air, which must be kept
in constant motion, the fresh air be-
ing drawn In near rIe bottom of the
structure and the foul air being dis
charged at the top. Air should not be
allowed to %recirculate through the
stable, since on its first passage it Is
robbed OF much Of the oxygen which 1t
possessed upon its first entrance into
the barn. ventilators which are
placed on the highest points Of the
roof are very necessary. The cattle
barn shown here has two good venti-
lators on the roof, which pull q
draft no matter which way the wind
blows.

Chinese Trade and the War.

United States trade with China in
creased in 1915, although foreign bust
ness men throughout the world suf-
fered q loss of more than $10O,000,O00
in their exports to that country last
year. China has for years been In an
unsettled condition, yet the country's
foreign trade mounted higher and high
err until the European war, when the
trade was crippled. Wherever a rail-
road has been built in China new trade
opportunities have sprung up and new
markets have been created. On the
