 The government of the United States has learned with the greatest concern and regret of the policy of the German gov ernment to deport from Belgium a DOT ton of the civilian population for the purpose of forcing them to labor in Ger many and is constrained to protest in a friendly spirit but most solemnly against this action, which does in contravention of all precedents and of those humane principles of international practice which have long been accepted and followed by civilized nations in their treatment of non- combatants.
 Furthermore, the government of the United States is convinced that the effect Of this policy, if pursued. will in all prob ability, be fatal to the Belgian relief work, so humanely planned and so suc- cessfully carried out, result which would be generally deplored and which. it is assumed, would seriously embarrass the German government

U. S. Marine Movies.

New York, Nov. 13.-"There isn't
a thing that the beggar cant do"
sings Kipling in his famous eulogy
.of the marine, and it will be affirmed
by thousands who see the new movie
thriller, "The Peacemakers," showing
the busy United States Marine in all
phases of his everyday life-from OPP
Grating big guns on a battleship to
an actual brush with rebels in Haiti.
The new picture soon to the shown
from coast to coast will not be eX-
plotted as a box office attraction, but
as "A timely educational feature. Its
main purpose will be to inform the
public of the specific duties of the
Soldier of the sea" as differing from
other branches of the service.
Uncle Sans new movie is a two.
reel feature and is being loaned free
of charge TO theatres by the Marine
Corps Recruiting Service. The Ma
rines say that their first mission Is
to let the public find out who they are
and what they do, and the screen is
the thing.
