BELGIUM DENUDED
OF ALL ABLE men
Thousands Upon Thousands
Are Being Sent to Germany
to Release Men For
Army.

London. Nov. 14.-Special dispatches
from Rotterdam say that the deporta-
lions of Belgians continue daily on a
large scale. Antwerp and Client, the
dispatches say, are being slowly de-
nuded of able bodied males. Sixteen
thousand have already left Client.
The men deported from Client have
been almost exclusively Of the unem-
ployed class, but elsewhere, the dis
patches say and especially in Antwerp,
there has been less discrimination. It
is said the deportations from Brussels
will begin the 18th.
According to stories circulated in
Holland, ia the dispatches, in the
"raided" towns many men were
bounced upon suddenly and escorted
away by armed guards and not per-
mitted to communicate with friends.
Men who are to be deported are Sc
verely punished. Hunger forces hiders
to surrender. Wire barriers and ma
chine guns are placed around the sta
tons where the men are to be en-
trained, lest the crowds make trouble.

NEGRO MIGRATION
CARRIES PROBLEM
More Than 125.0OO CoIored
Laborers Have Moved North
Because of Better Work
ing Conditions.

Washington. p. c.. Nov. ii.--The NIL
grafton of southern negroes to north
ern states has assumed the proportions
of an exodus.
1t is declared by competent observers
have studied the situation that
125, 900 colored laborers, this number
including families of some of them,
have gone north in the cours Of the
present year, chiefly in the past spring,
summer and thus far this fall.
The movement continues and many
southern employers are becoming deep
ly concerned.
In the campaign, there was an effort
to ascribe this to attempts at colonial
tor. But the TACT is it is a big in
movement, which is a subject
of profound discussion in the south.
Leaving in Thousands.
From Alabama, it is estimated 10000
have migrated; from Tennessee, over
Georgia. 10000. Other states have felt
the effects in mailer degree.
Down at bottom, the movement Is
u to the war. Exodus of alien cheap
labor from mines, mills, railroad con-
~struction and repair gangs, and the like
has caused southern colored labor to
be sought by various concerns, rail-
roads and others, through employment
agencies. Free passes and good wages
have been promised the colored work
ers, and they have moved out of the
south in amazing numbers.
Some of the Causes.
Then, too, the floods in the black belt
of Alabama, the progress of the boil
WeeVil, and other influences have been
at work to help on the movement.
1t is declared, furthermore, that the
fact many of the southern states are
dry" and some of the states in the
north, where labor is needed, are wet"
has been of weight.
Not only southern planters, III
southern lumber interests, mining in
terests and mill interests nave felt the
effects of the migratory movement In
some southern cities, employment
agents have been taxed heavily.
That the movement next spring will
be heavier than aver is asserted. That
is, it will be unless the close OF the
war comes and Influences the migra-
tory tides.
Final Effect in Doubt.
Southern men nave differing views
as to whether the movement is for the
good or for the injury of the south.
Some say it is a good thing, as it gets
rid of part of the idle colored popula-
ton.
Others say that when the war ends
the places left by the colored labor in
the south will be filled by Italians and
other immigrants from abroad, and
that this will be the best thing for the
south.
Whatever may be the final result, tho
negro migration now is a stirring topic
of discussion in the south. Many
stories are told about it. Observers
tell of colored men coming to town
with wagon and a mule team, hearing
offers of work in the north, and leav-
ing wagons and mules in the street to
catch the first rains.
West Virginia, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Indiana are among
the states getting much of this migra-
ton. Some of it has gone into the n1u-
nitions factories of Ohio and eastern
states.

change IN the presidential situation to-
day. Hughes retains lead of 634 inl
Minnesota, with a few outlying pre-

flay determine the issue In that state.
President Wilson retained his safe lead
IN Now Mexico and California, and
again took the lead In New Hampshirs|
where a recheck at first showed disc

is not essential anyhow and President
Wilson Is assured OF PTS electoral votes
as it Is now certain the California vote
will not be split.
There is little likelihood OF a contest
IN congress. The republican campaign
managers will confine their efforts for
the present to a close watch Of thel
official count in the close states. It Isl
generally conceded that there Is no.
cloud upon Wilson's title to the office

Wilcox nor Mr.. Hughes has yet Off

circles have intimated there will be no
contest unless, In view of further de-
