Correspondence Of the Associated Press)
THE HAGUE. Netherlands, Jan.
15.-It Is reported that the question
of sending diplomatic representatives
from Luxembourg to the neutral coun-
tries, including America, as well as to
the Vatican, Is under consideration
with view to protecting the interests
Of that little state. The country has
been under the yoke Of German mill
tary domination since the beginning
Of the war, when the Germans made
their rush through Luxembourg into
France, and although no immediate
relief from the condition which now
bandicaps the states independence Is
possible, political leaders are all in
spred with the determination that
Luxembourg shall be maintained as an
Independent and neutral state after
tho war.
Recent reports Of the confusion
that prevails in the government Of
Luxembourg have attracted consider
able attention among the Dutch peo-
pie, for 1t was only in 1890 that the
severance of that state from tho
Netherlands was accomplished. 1t

Orange died without male issue that

The Betterment of Japan
Improvement in Rural Communities Decided Upon
at Conference.

THAT the congratulations of the
conference should have been present
ed to the emperor was but right and
fitting" said Doctor Robinson, but
at the same time it is not true that
amid all the pleasure and interest we
may have felt in connection with the
coronation ceremonies there was a
certain amount of disappointment
felt and an anxiety awakened in the
hearts of many of Gods people, both
Japanese and foreign?
Bondage of Theology.
Have we not felt that the claims
to something, If not divine, at least
superhuman, expressed in regard to
His Imperial Majesty and the nation
have been a little clearer and stronger
than we hoped would have been put
forth in this twentieth century; and
are there not grounds to fear that
these claims and the attitude of mind
that seems widely to have accepted
them constitute hindrance to the
evangelization of Japan which hither-
to many have not supposed to exist?''
Doctor Robinson declared that as
n result of the war religion would be
delivered from the bondage of Ger
man theology" He said that bond
age was both intellectual and theolog-
lcal, ana ne asserted tnat DOth BrltlSh
and American scholars have for some
time been gradually brought under 1t.
He expressed the fear that many per-
sons in Japan have been brought into
bondage to Germany In many depart
ments-military educational, theo-
logical-and declared that the time
had arrived to take a stand against
this bondage which seemed ito pose
as the very godhead of liberty" He
added: And where should the need
ed revolt against the bondage referred
to commence II not with our mission
aries, who ought to be, and I believe
are still, regarded by the best of Jap
anese as their leaders in spiritual
matters"
DR.. A. Oltsman of Toxic. a repre-
sentative of the Dutch Reformed
Church Of America. and one of the
veteran missionaries Of Japan, was
chosen the leader Of the conference

odist Episcopal Church of America,
was elected vice-presdent. and DR..

callers every day and is really glad
you came.
When Prince Roland was excluded
from the army just after graduating
from Saint Cyr he turned to the
study of the human race under the
eminent anthropologist. Doctor Roca.
lie has since seen nearly every spcci-
man Of humanity on its native soil.
The zoology of the sea, botany, geol-
ogy, geography. glaciers and aviation
subsequently occupied his attention in
turn and furnished him with the ma
terial for eighty different scientific
works. Some Of Prince Roland's dis
coveries in plant life have been of
great value to the scientific woiN as
confirming the theory of the existence
of an ancient continent in the Pacific
comprising parts of South America,
Australia, Madagascar and India. He
found specimens of the same variety
of ferns in all those countries.
Prince Roland has very agreeable
recollections Of two visits to the
United States. in the course of which
he studied the country thoroughly.
He talks with as familiar knowledge
Of Lincoln and Lee as of French
statesmen and soldiers. The latter he
admires as the greatest Of American
generals and one of the most admir-
able strategists in history.

friends in America" he said; some
of them are personally unknown
friends. like William f. Maxon of the
Smithsonian institute. and Miss Slos-
son of Bronx park, who send me spec
linens of ferns that make valuable
additions to my collection"
What appealed to him most was the
remarkable development of American
universities and the means for scien-
tific research.
america is doing wonders in scien-
tfc research" he said "You are
devoting more money to 1T than any
other nation. and science has now
gone so deeply into the mysteries Of
nature that much money is required
for further researches: America will
one day lead the world. The war in
terrupted a great deal Of scientific
work, but you see / am continuing"
said the prince, pointing to open
books and documents he had been
consulting.
As to the war and its different COM
plications. the prince is obliged to
maintain n certain reserve on account
Of his delicate position as member of
n prescribed family. and as father
in-law of Prince George. the brother
of the king of Greece.

said. however, "it should wage war
to the limit, and when the adversary
resorts to methods not countenanced
by usage or by the common rules of
humanity he should be paid in kind.

policy adopted by the United States;

Correspondence OF the Associated Press)
TOXIC, Jan. 15.-The federated
missions of Japan at their recent an
nual conference decided upon launch
ing n widespread movement for the
eVangeliZation and social betterment
of rural communities in Japan. III
was resolved that every missionary
should take it upon himself to begin
work in at least one new village TINS

one of the reports to the confer
ence pointed out the progress being
made in industrial welfare in Japan
There was an encouraging increase III

ers who were interesting themselves
in such reforms. In Osaka pubic

working classes; another man 90

private sanatoriums. in addition 10
government institutions. were now
engaged in fighting the disease.
Fairgrounds and Parks.
There was an increasing interest in
the establishment of public parks and
Fairgrounds. The Life Boat society,
whose seventy-seven thousand mem
bers had saved twenty-five thousand
people from drowning and had pre-
vented the loss of millions or dollars
in shipping, was commended. Also
there was q new factory law. which
had several excellent features. but in
this matter there was still need OF
further reform.
Referring to farm life, the report
expressed the belief that the Japa..
nese farms were altogether too small
and that thy were worked too fully
by hand labor. Not more than one
among six farmers had horse. The
Indebtedness Of peasant proprietors
averaged $50 per family. The sys-

lieved to be undesirable, because 1t

MEAT WILL BECOME
LUXURY IN EUROPE
Stock-Brecding Will Not
Come Back Into Its Own
for Many Years.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
VIENNA, Jan. 20,--None too plen-
tiful before the war. meat is likely to
become n real luxury in Europe after
peace is declared and remain so for "A
considerable time, until stock-b breed
ing has progressed on an immense
scale.
The central power group believes 1t
will find itself better off than the
entente group in this respect. but
both groups will certainly find ii a
serious problem. At the expiration
of two years of warfare--which per-
iod will soon be reached-it Is esti-
mated the entento powers will be
short 7,575,000 head Of meat animals,
while the central group, owing to the
territories occupied by their armies,
would in that time loose only 2,000,-
geo heads through overconsumption
due to the war.
Commenting upon the situation.
the Paris Revue Des Deux Mondes
points out that France lost 20 per
cent of its meat animal stock by the
occupation of ten departments OF
the Germans. France lost through
this 100000 horned cattle, 14,SO4,-
80 sheep. and S14,919 pigs. This
means. says the periodical, that
France is deprived or an annual meat
production of 41I,000 tons.
The live stock of Belgium also was
lost by the entente, this being esti-
mated to amount to about 1000, 900
heads Of cattle. $4,000 900 sheep, and
over 100000 pigs. Germany gained
thus the meat production of roundly
10000 900 animals in the western
theator alone.
Though the Russians saved much
Of their live stock in Poland and the
invaded Russian provinces, nearly
i0,000,0 900 meat animals fell in the
hands of the Germans and Austro-
lIungarians. Against this must be
charged the losses sustained by tho
central powers in Galcia and East
Prussia, said to amount to about
100000 heads, because in East
Prussia much of the stock was driven

The Deserter Problem
Holland Does Not Know What to Do With Them at
End of the War

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Jan.
15.-The question whether deserter
who enters a neutral country in war
time should be interned, and ii so,
whether he should be eXtradited with
his ordinary interned fellow soldiers
at the end OF the war-that is to say
in most cases delivered up to GER
tain death--are aspects of the de-
serter problem that have been raised
in acute form in Holland.
However good the general spirit
in the German army. German desert
ers have been slipping over the
Dutch border, especially that adjoin-
ing Belgium, every now and then ever
since the first two or three months
Of war; and although many of them
either manage to get hold Of civilian
clothes beforehand, or secure them
on this side of the frontier, in which
case they usually escapN arrest, there
are at TOsent between thirty ana
forty German deserters actually in
termed in this country. number Of
whom have been in that position for
many months.
Causes of Descrtion.
During the great Ypres offensive
OF the Germans in an early stage OF
the war. when their losses were so
heavy, the number of desertcrs was
reported to be very considerable.
Since then such arrivals have been
less frequent, but they still continue.
The causes that lead to desertion are
many and varied. In one case the
horror of the trench warfare and
slaughter so grips man that he
takes the desperate step. Perhaps a
regiment sent back for rest and re-
cuperation after such an experience
receives the order to return to the
fighting line. and for some Of the men
suffering from the moral and physi-
cal strain the prospect proves too
much; they grasp at an opportunity
Of escape. In another instance the
deserter attributes his act to bad
treatment on tho part of the officers,
the sort of thing TO which German
Socialist deputies have recently been
drawing attention. One deserter has
related that he was one Of n family
of five brothers, Of whom all but he
had been killed or wounded, and
urged thereto by his family he had
