Excuses of the TeutonS for Sending People
 of Belgium from
 Country False.
VIOLATION OF ALL LAW
France DenounCeS Action as a Veritable Return to the Dark Days
 of Slavery.

PARIS, Dec. 3. - A semi-official
 statement issued here replies to
 statements from German sources, in which the enforced labor of civilians
 of Belgium and Northern France is
 justified on the ground that the army
 of occupation is required, by article
 43 of The Hague convention to take
 necessary measures to re-establish
 and maintain order and public life.
 Attention is called to the fact that
 the same article requires the occupy
 ing army to provide nourishment
 for the population which, the reply says, has not been done by Ger many.
 In referring to the deportation off 25.OOO inhabitants of Lille, RoubaiX and Turcoing. forced to work in oth- CT regions by the military authori- ties. the statement cites decrees is- sued by General von Bissing con- straining the population. under se- were penalties, to enforced labor eith- CT in Belgium or Germany. It re- calls the protestations made by France against the deportations from Lille and denies that the German | military authorities were under the necessity of resorting to this meas nre for the nourishment of the pop ulation. because they had never occu- pied themselves with that duty.
 On the contrary. it is declared, they have disinterested themselves entirely as to the fate of the popu- lation in the occupied regions, who rceiye their sustenance from the AL lies through the philanthropic inter 5ention of Spanish-American com 
 The statement says. furthermore, hat not only did Germany neglect It's duty in the matter of sustenance' put it has actually obstructed the of the population occu' pied regions by requisitioning and sending to Germany all the raw ma .erials and industrial equipment found in those regions.
 The statement concludes that neith- er the usages Of civilized nations, .he laws of humanity nor the work .ngs Of the public conscience are compatible with this enforced ser vice: that 1t is a veritable return to slavery-to that slavery which the signatories of the general act of the conference at Berlin in 1885, among whom was Germany. took the engagement to suppress, concern ing the people of Atrica-and that Germany has revived it for the un- fortunate inhabitants of Belgium and he northern part of France.

PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE

Extreme precaution was taken by
the fire department on Monday and
Wednesday because of the high wind
blowing on those days. On Monday
Chief August Simon had an auto
ready at the station house to go
into action at the first alarm of fire
with the chemical engine. Another
car was also held in readiness at
Ryall's garage.
Wednesday, owing to the fact
that the electric siren fire whistle
had been taken down, steam was
raised in the boilers at the Old
pumping station at the rear of the
fire hall so that the steam "shrlek-
er" could be used to give the alarm.
The pumps were also to be used for
additional water pressure in case a
serious blaze occurred.
A man was stationed at the fire
hall all day Wednesday and during
a part of the night.

"BIRTH OF A NATION"
DRAWS CAPACITY HOUSE

The Unique theater was crowded
Friday evening when the Birth Of a
Nation with an orchestra of %
pieces, showed here for matinee
and evening. Too much cannot be
said of the play; it is undoubtedly q
masterpiece of film drama. Without
the splendid assistance of the orches
ira, however, the picture would lose
more than half of it's quality OF
stirring the emotions.
Many who attended the perform
ance here stated in their enthusiasm
over the picture that they would be
willing to see the show two or three
evenings in succession.
