DAYS WAR SUMMARY

N the held Of war, the Teutonic
advance in eastern Wallachia Is
continuing with the Roumanians
apparently seeking to take up de-
fensive line along the Buzeu river,
near the southern boundary OF
their province of Moldavia.
Petrograd reports the failure OF
Teutonic attacks along the Mol
davian frontier and in Wallachia
sectors, notably near Poloechti.
where the Austro- German forces
are pressing toward the Buzeu.
New activities have been de-
veloped by the Germans on the
Franco German front. They at
tackled last evening on the edge OF
the Des Lodges woods. south of the
Somme sector, but according to
Paris were checked and driven out
Of portions Of advanced positions
which they had occupied.
The British foreign war office,
under the new 70. egn secretary, A.
J. Balfour. is occupying itself with
the Greek problem, regarding
which it was said yesterday that
steps were being taken to reach
very radical solution.

are turned toward America and Presi-

sage received by Pierre Mali. Belgian

Belgium's minister Of justice.
The dispatch. dated yesterday at
Favre, was made public today by the
committee of citizens which Is arrang-
ing meeting to be held in Carnegie
hall Friday night as Il protest against
"enslavement Of Rclgians."
The committee recently sent telc-s
gram to President Wilson asking for
information which the department OF
state might properly furnish regarding
the deportations.
The cable message from Minister de
Wharf recited that. in Nivelles, after
having hunted for thousand men and
locked them In railway cars for un -
told destination, German soldiers went
thru the streets, among the despairing.

Berlin via London, Dec. II. - Ger
manys answer TO the American note
regarding the deportation OF Beigians
is confined almost exclusively to a pre-
sentation of the situation in Belgium
before the deportation order became ef-
tective. The note declares there was
! urgent need for some kind OF work for
The Beigians because their idieness was
causing decentralization and saws the
deported workers are assured OF weti-
being in new situations IN Germany.
The reply volunteers TO permit
American diplomatic representatives 10

themselves that the Belgians are well
on. 1t concludes with an expression OF
regret that the United States has neye,
seen tit to protest against what it de-
scribes the dragging OF Of Germans
rom East Prussia. Alsace and other
places to Serbia and elsewhere.
United States 10 Misinformsd.
The note declares that the United

measures taken and says that the lack
OF work has increased until l,250, 900
are suffering ana an undesirable situ-
alton IS created. Nothing remained,
therefore. the note continues. but to
offer the workless situations In Ger
many. 1t is contended that the major
ity OF those who have come to Ger
many are happy and contented with
higher wages and personal liberties.
and that only those who prefer to loaf
have been compelled to work.
International Laws Observed.
The answer declares that the meas.

tional law and cites article "A Of The
Hague convention, which requires an
invading government to maintain orr
Fder. This, 1t Is maintained, Is possibls
only in Belgium intproviding that peo-
pie who are able to work shall have an
opportunity to do so and not full bur.
den on charity.
The note says this has not been car
Ned out with severity. Mistakes have
occurred and have been due In part to
the fact that Belgians themselves erred
In making up the lists of those to be
transported to Germany by including
persons unaffected by Governor Gem
eral Bissing's order of May 10, 1915.
Would Continue Relief Work.
The note says that Belgians now
working in Germany are working at
occupations permissible under interna-
tional law, such as legitimate agricul-
ture and industrial pursuit, and that
the German government regrets that
the situation has been misrepresented
In the United States by the lying
press Of Germany's enemies" The
German government, 1t Is declared,
would also regret II the activities OF
the Belgian relief commission were at
fected.

titled that instead Of following the doc
