President Wilson Attacks Oeport-
ing of Workers.
FEARS FOR RELIEF WORK
Policy in CONFIRMATION Of Humane
Principles and All Precedent, Ber-
lin Is Told--Document
Cabled to Charge.

Washington, Dec. IA note TO Ger
many protesting against the deporta
ton of Belgians for forced labor as
contrary to all precedents and humane
principles of international practice was
made public on Friday by the state de.
partment.
The note was cabled TO Charge Grew
at Berlin on November 20 the day Am
bassador Gerard discussed the subject
with President Wilson, with instruc-
tons that he read it to the German
chancellor personally.
In making it public, the state depart
ment announced that the interview had
taken place, but said nothing about re-
suits.
The text of the protest follows:
THE government of the United
States has learned with the greatest
concern and regret of the policy of the
German government To deport from
Belgium portion of the civilian popu-
lation for the purpose of forcing them
to labor in Germany, and is constrained
to protest in friendly spirit, but most
solemnly, against this action which is
in contravention of all precedents and
of those. principles of international
practice which have long been accepted
and followed by civilized nations in
their treatment of noncombatants in
conquered territory.
Furthermore, the government of the
United States is convinced that the eff
feet of this policy, If pursued, will in
all probability be fatal to the Belgian
relief work. so humanely planned and
so successfully carried out, result
which would be generally deplored and
which, it is assumed, would seriously
embarrass the German government
Senator Lodge introduced Il copy of
resolutions adopted 10y the American
Rights league at Boston. condemning
the deportation from Belgium of non
combatants and calling upon congress
ito support the president of the United
States in every measure he undertakes
10 maintain Americas traditional po-
sition rs the friend and the champion
of all the oppressed"
Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE German gov
eminent issued q statement on Friday
In explanation and justification of the
transfer OF Belgian laborers to Ger
many. 1t says the measure is by no
means n harship for the laborers, but
is a social necessity.
Owing chiefly to the British embargo
against Belgium's overseas trade which
before the war supported II large part
of the industrial population, large num-
bers of Belgian workers are idle, the
statement says, and conditions are
growing worse.

Patriotic Millinery,

To please American women who de-
mand hats In harmony with the patri-
otto spirit of the time, leading New
York milliners are following the mill
tary mode in creating design suitable
for winter wear The chic Steel-helmet
effect, turbans and pompons. reminis-
cent of the trenches and worn by many
fashionable women, are to be, SUPER
seeded by the more utilitarian Texan
sombrero in a smaller design, close re-
sembling the campaign hat of the
United States marine.
In the effort of New York designers
to establish distinctively American
style devoid of foreign suggestion, the
headgear of the composite soldier and
sailor has proved desirable model.

MANY SCHOOL BILLS
TO Be INTRODUCED.
STATE EDUCATORS WILL PRE-
SENT MEASURES ASKING RE-
VISION OF STATUTE.
LARSEN WILL BE MISSED
Death of Shell Lake Assembiyman
Robs Insurance and Banking Com
mittee of Head-Wi.l Hold
Special Election.

School legislation will oc-
cupy much of the time of the legisla-
ture at the coming session, according
to plans being formulated by educa-
tors.
1t has been no secret that the COM
mittee of 100, which was organized d
year ago, and which includes many
well known teachers of the state, will
be in Madison with bills or recon-
mendations for revisions of the school
laws. The members of that committee
have professed to be interested in the
welfare of the common schools, and
little reference has been made in their
announcements to the regulation of
the higher institutions of learning.
Members of the legislature have re-
ceived letters from State Superinten-
dent of instruction G.. p. Cary, &C
there is to be much school legislation
and enclosing a pamphlet containing
the laws now on the statute books.
The death of Assemblyman H. M.
Laursen of Shell Lake takes away the
only logical chairman of the commit
tee on insurance and banking. Mr..
Laursen was the only member of the
committee in 1915 who was returned
to the assembly. He was especially
fitted for the Craftsmanship.
AT the special election which is to be
held to elect his successor it is prob
able that w. M. Rowe of Sarona, who
was defeated at the primary by a mar
row margin by Mr.. Laursen, will be q
candidate, and the prospects of his
election are bright.

political differences? If so, why

political differences? If so, why
may we not support him?
If the State believes that the fight
is one between good government and
misgovernment, surely the State,
more so this year than two years ago,
should seek the most available can
didate. If the situation two years
ago was so much fraught with dan
ger that the State believed it to be
the duty of that paper to accept "the
most available candidate" represent
ing "the better aims Of government"
and the state is still of the: same
opinion with regard to the cause es.
poused by Mr.. Richards, it should
egain name Mr.. Cooper as its first
choice. If Richards was the repre-
sentative Of misgovernment surely
his chief Mr.. Blease is more so. ,.*
If it was necessary in 1914, in the
opinion Of the State, to beat Mr..
Richards, it must be necessary to
beat Mr.. Blease this year. We do
not think there is any danger Of q
second race between Manning and
Blease, but Blease will be in the Sc
cond race unless. all signs; fail. We
have become convinced Of this since
the campaign began We did not
think SO; before. If Blease is in the
second <tace:with Cooper,*he' will be
defsaaed:'TH he is in a second race
with Manning, the State had as well
get ready for two more years Of
Blease as governor. The people in
the rural sections Of the Piedmont,
as the slightest investigation will
prove, will not accept Manning un-
less there is a big: change Of. heart,
which there will; not be. They are
now almost solidly for Cooper. Those
who believe,that the election Of Mr.
Blease would mean two more years
of calamity to the State should vote
to avoid it. =. :. .r,..'. 49,:

The grove Of naples in the rear Of
the Court House is one Of the pretti-
est to be found anywhere. The
rear yard Of the Court House could
be made as attractive as it is in
front if grass was sown on',the lawn
and the trees cared for. AS it is
now, the space is used as hitching
lot for anyone who desires to hitch
there. y
The Supervisor should not allow
the grounds to be thus . used. He
should take steps to make the yard
attractive and to keep the trees in
growing condition. Most Of all he
should see that they are not destroy
ed by being bitten by horses and
mules. We hope the matter will
have attention. i. ..
