Washington, Dec 9.-The American
protest to Germany against the depor-

by Charge Crew at Berlin was made
public by the state department late yes.
terday. The text follows:
"The government Of the United Sta
tes has learned With greatest concern
and regret of the policy of the German
government to dcport from Belgium a
portion OF the civilian population for
the purpose of forcing them to labor in
Germany and is constrained to protest
in friendly spirit but must solemly
against this action which is in contra
vention of all precedents and of those
principles of international practice
practice which have long been accepted
and followed by civilized nations in
their treatment Of non.conbatants in
conquered territory.
Furthermore, the government of
the United States is convinced that the
effect of this policy, if pursued, will
in all probability be fatal to the Bel
gian relief work so humanelY planned
and so successfully carried out, re-
suit which would be generally deplored
aud which, is is assumed, would serious

VILLAS BANDITS
AGAIN WHIPPING
De FACTO TROOPS
Cavalry Sent In Pursuit Of
Bandit Are Led Into
a Trap
,REIlFORCEMENTS ARE
SENT FROM CHIHUAHUA
Villa Sends Word He viii
Come Back After Balance
Of Ransom
By Webb Miller

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Ell Paso, Texas, Dee. 9.-Fighting be-
tween--Nillistas and Mexican COVER
nment troops was in progress early to-
day near Fresno, only ten miles from
chihuahua City. During the night Gen
eral Murgia, Carranzista commander,
hurried reinforcements to the relief of
General Ozuna s column of cavalry
which had started in pursuit of the ban
dts after the evacuation of Chihuahua
City and had fallen into Villista trap,
according to information received here
by mining men and United States de-
partment officials.
Ozuna was enticed into a trap early
yesterday near Santa Ysabel by the
Nillistas. His forces were attacked and
driven back toward the capital. Near
Fresno, Ozuna halted to make stand
against the bandits, meantime asking
Murgia to hurry relief.
Only the rear guard of Villistas en-
gagged in the attempt to halt the pur-
suit of 0zuna s column. Refugees from
the Cusihuiriachic say Villa men were
scattered in heavy bodies all along the
Mexican Northwestern railway from
Santa Ysabel westward. Villa himself
is making his headquarters at Bustil-
los, they say.
The present engagement is not TAX
en- by military men to mean that Villa
intends to make another assault upon
the northern capital but merely to ham
per serious pursuit by government
troops In military quarters here there
is much speculation over Villa g next
move.
Another report reached United States
department agents early today that the
column of Carranzistas sent in pursuit
|of the bandits has returned to Chihua-
hau City after marching out eight miles
New lines of trenches and wire en-
tanglements are beinp added to the de-
fensive works around chihuahua City
by General Murgia in preparation for
another attack. Ia is said to have
announced he would return for the re-
mainder of the 100000 pesos ransom he
had demanded of the city's merchants.
He obtained about 10000 pesos, it was
reported.
Since the disposition of General Tre-
vino as commander of the Carranza
forces in the north, many rumors are
extant that he is to be court martial

WARNED OF
GERMANlSEA RAIDER
Two Submarines and Raider
RuInOred OF Nova ScOtian
Coast

Halifax, N. s., Dec. Warning of
possible German sea raider has been
given allied shipping by British naval
authorities here, in addition to the con.
tlnued warnings concerning two fight.
ing submarines believed to be some.
where off the Atlantic coast. The
strictest watch against the vessel sus.
pected of being a raider was being
maintained today, since from the posi-
tion where she was last sighted she
could reach the waters in this vicinity
with day or two,
The naval authorities in their warn
ing relate that the suspected craft was
allowed to pass by the patrol off the
southwestern coast Of Scotland last
Sunday under the impression that she
was the Dutch steamer Gamma. Later
it was learned that the latter was at
Kirkwall at the time.
The vessel is described as of 1900
tons, black hull with red bottom, white
upper works, one funnel, thought to be
plain black.
Naval officers believe the vessel may
have mines intended to be sown off
this port, the most important on this
coast to the British navy, or to endang-
er the travel lanes out of here, taken by
all Canadian troop ships
Reports reached here today from st.
Johns, n. b., that following reports of
the sighting of submarine a short
distance outside the harbor Friday
morning the city ordered all lights ex-
tinguished last night and spread the
warning to nearby cities and towns
The submarines presence was reported
by three fishing vessels.

London, Dec. 9.-As a personality,
David Lloyd-George is for many reasons
interesting and important to the United
States He is one of the new BritMn
statesmen understanding that difficult
and intangible psychology Of the Amer
lean temperament.
He is important to America for an
other reason. He is now the head of the
five British nations engaged in war
Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zea-
land and South Africa, together with
India.
Winning of the war primarily de-
wolves on these nations.
If they and the allies are beaten, it
will be America Is turn next, for Ger
many's plans in South America and Ger
many's hatred of the United States
should be known to every American
who reads the anti-American pYOpagan-
da OF the German government.
Lloyd George is also interesting to
your hundred millions because his life
has been very much similar to any of
you. He began simply, without other
assets of life than a good father and
mother. He had the same kind of educa-
tion that an American boy gets. There
are millions of American homes like
the little home in Wales, wherein he.
spent his early childhood. His father
was teacher of school in Liverpool,
mo ro1 bxy +kao &c -
including Dr. Harris Martineau. His
msther was dauhtegr of Baptist,
minister in the Welsh village of Llanys-
tumdwy.
A Frank Admission.
I do not know Lloyd-George in priv
ate life; am not in agreement with
him ON many political affairs. We have
been publicly antagonistic on many
matters during 20 years. He adopted
line in the Boer war that was not mine,
incurring the hatred, even contempt Of
millions Of his fellow subjects. 1t was
a brave line, for it demanded more
courage to be on, the side of the min-
ority opposing the war, than to shout
with the majority supporting it.
Since then Lloyd-George has led all
sorts of movements at variance with
the tenets of the political party TO which
1 belong. Sometimes he has been night
and proved right; sometimes he has
been wrong-and proved wrong-but in
all he has undertaken he has evineed
the same courage shown throughout this
one momentous weeks history
The British peoples fear of helping
German propaganda in the United
States prevented English writer's from
saying how dissatisfied the British peo-
pie have been with the politicians who
have managed our share in . the war
since 1914.
Lloyd George was the only member of
the government with the courage TO ex-
hibit discomfort over our feeble and
vacillating conduct of the war. Ocea-
sionally in parliament and on the plat
form he attempted to tell the people a
little Of the truth, but on these ocea-
sions he was always howled down by
