The Yellow book continues:
THE measure caused the greatest an
guish and despair among the population
of the notified districts, while in some
cases it led to madness. Many peopls
became so i'll they had to take to their
beds.
Parents especially suffered torture
at seeing their wives, daughters and
children of both sexes over the age OF
IA led away or packed into street cars
promiscuously with bad characters of
all sorts, male and female, not know
ing what was to be their destination
or fate. The anguish was renewed night
after night during the 10 days of Easter.
THE protests of mayors and other Of
ficials went UNDECIDED. A bishop who
interviewed personally was told by .

Railroads Will Fight
New Explosive Ruling

New York. August AFTER a con-
ference of officials of railroads with
terminals in Jersey City here today, 1t
was reported that the railroads would
fight the resolution adopted yesterday
by the board of commissioners of Jer-
sey City designed to prevent a recur-
renee of the Black Tom island explo-
sion by prohibiting the shipment or
storage of high explosives within the
city limits. There was another explo-
sion scare among Jersey City officials
late today when Michael Mulligan, SUI
perintendent of the Lehigh Valley
railroad, reported that the smoldering
fire from tons of sugar stored in five
of the warehouses was spreading to two
sives and shrapnel at the extreme end
of Black Tom island. The cars had been
buried under debris and could not be
removed to place of safety.
Acting Fire Chief William Kern made
an inspection and reported that the
blaze, while serious, was under con-
troll.
The fire and water poured on 1t have
turned thousands of tons Of sugar into
syrup that spread over much of the
island. Drainage canals were cut from
the burning warehouses to divert the
flood of syrup In New York bay.
Shrapnel shells in the piles of debris
were exploded by the intense heat in
such numbers that more than SO labor
ers working near the fire were ordered
away and a dead line" was estab-
lished under police supervision.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-08-03

soldiers engaged in the deportation
were even seen to shed tears.
"A large proportion of the young
women taken belonged to the servant
class, several of whom volunteered to
go in the place of their employers
daughters. On the other hand, many
young women of the better classes
wanted to accompany the servant girls
of their family. When those deported
were conveyed to the railroad station
and loaded into the cattle trucks, they
kept crying: 'Vive la France and sing
ing the Marsellaise.
Upward of 200 affidavits are append
ed, each dealing with incidents of which
those making the affidavits had per-
sonal knowledge, charging that girls
from the age of 10 and upward and
boys from IL were forced to labor in
the fields from o'clock in the morn
ing to in the evening; that they were
badly fed and harshly treated, and that
girls and women were kicked and
whipped with a sort of cat o'nine taila
and sometimes knocked down.
One deposition affirms that the de-
ponent was not mistreated, while an
other, that of woman of ~ years,
says she was not roughly treated, al
though frequently threatened. One
woman testified that her husband died
from excessive work and exhaustion.

Junior Naval Officers
Are Opposed to Bill

Washington, August NINETY per
cent of the junior naval officers oppose
immediate enactment Of the Senate
amendment to the naval bill changing
the method of promoting officers from
seniority to selection by a commission.
Lieutenant Commander Long testified
today before the House conferees. He
recommended that the measure should
be postponed for year to allow Off
GERS to study it,
This is being forced upon them"
he said 1T was drawn in Washing
ton while half the fleet was at sea
and without giving the officers
chance to consider 1t. 1t will break
the spirit Of every young man in the
service.
Lieutenant Commander McCandless
also advised against immediate action
but Judge Advocate General Mclean,
Rear Admiral Taylor. chief of the bu-
reau of construction; Rear Admiral
Blue, chief of tho bureau of naviga-
ton, and other senior officers, sup
ported the selection plan.
Marine corps officers will be heard
by the House conferees on the amend
ment tomorrow,
