DR. Andrew Crosswell, who came
from Cambridge. Mass In addition

fifty cents a yard and was imported
from England, for there were no
mills for weaving in this country

his master sat, and conducting him

NO PEACE
Until Belgian Wrongs Righted-Presi

Points Out Duty Of Neu-
trality.

Baltimore, Md, December 22-De-
portation of Belgians by Germany was
strongly decried at mass meeting
here tonight, called on protest against
the action DR.. John Grier Hibben,
president of Princeton University, de-
claring 1t to be a crime against the
progressive civilization Of the world,
insisted that there should not be a dis
cussion of the possibility of peace
until Germany had given to Belgium
and the world some definite assur-
ance that the undeserved wrongs OF
that death-stricken country are
righted."
DR.. Hibben sal dthat 1t was the
duty of the neutral nations to pro-
mote peace.
But while recognizing this obliga-
tion,' he said, 81 would point out a
higher and more imperative duty OF
neutrality. 1t is to insist with all the
spirit Of an aroused national con-
science that there must be vindica-
ton of certain rights and reparation OF
certain wrongs that have been done
with a high hand upon a stupendous
scale and upon a world stage"
