DIPLOMACY IS EXHAUSTED

With publication of the American
protest to Germany on the deportations
of BeIgians. State Department officials

Germany's reply, conveyed in con-

garded as justified on the grounds OF
social necessity.

Protest Naming of Balfour.

A surprise was the announcement by
Viscount Grey in the liberal conference
that Arthur Balfour would succeed him
in the foreign Office, with Lord Robert
Cecil continuing as assistant. Lord
Curzon-qualified by former service in
the foreign office and with a brilliant
record as Indian viceroy had been
thought assured of the honor. The
choice of Balfour aroused instant pro-
test from papers which rated him as
one Of the aged wait and see' school
Bonar Law for chancellor of the ex-
chequer Is popular selection. as he
combines business and political expert
ence as do few other public men. Equal
approval is given to Lord Derby as
head of the war Office and DIR. Addison
as the minister of munitions, but the
proposal of Sir Edward Carson for the
admiralty finds less favor. Lord Cur
zon will have one of the highest posts,
and will be leader of the government
in the house of lords. Col. Winston
Churchill apparently is to remain out
in the cold.

The corrupt practices bill, which is
the unfinished business of the Senate.
will be recommitted ON Monday, ac-
co-ding to the present plan, for re-
drafting, leaving the way open for the
consideration of other business. Sena-
tor Smith of South Carolina. chairman
of the immigration committee, has CIV
en- notice that he will move to take up
the immigration bill as soon as the
corrupt practices bill is out of the way.
That being the case. he Is expected to

committed.

in favor of the immigration bill. and

The prohibitionists will do all in their
power to prevent the adoption of this
amendment, and Senator Sheppard said
today he believed they could defeat it.
The vote, however, will be very close,
it is expected, on this amendment.

FILLING CABINET POSTS

By the Associated Press
LONDON, December 9.-Lloyd Georges
cabinet will be non-partisan and will
meet the popular demand for a busi-
ness government. 1t will not be a coali-
ton cabinet in the sense of Asquith's
administration. because Mr.. Asquith had
the cooperation of all parties. even in
cluding. practically, the Irish national
lists.
The liberal meeting at the Reform Club
yesterday decided that the old liberal
leaders will constitute an opposition
party in the house of commons, al
though the opposition will be one of
helpful criticism rather than of hos
tility.
The newspapers age devoting them
selves to framing possible cabinets. and
incidentally are SO wrapped UP in the
burning questions as to whether Lloyd
George can be called a conspirator and
whether a government. consisting large
ly Of men unused to politics can be as
efficient as one recruited from the tra-
ditional ruling class, that they give
comparatively little attention to the

Greater Care Promised.

BERLIN. December tThursday), via
London, December 9.-Germany, in a
day or two. will reply with a memo
randum to the representations which
Joseph c. Grew. secretary Of the Ameri-
can embassy. has been making regard
ing the deportation of Belgian labor
ers. The reply is expected to follow
much the same lines as that made to
the Belgian protest through the Span
ish government. the substance of
which was published in the North Ger
man Gazette this morning.
The result of Secretary Crews con-
ference with Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg on the subject probably will
be that while the principle of using un-
employed Belgians in Germany will be
adhered to. pains will be taken to see
that 1t is accurately applied.
1t Is explained that 1t has not always
been possible to prevent the measure
being applied to Belgians not of the un- :
employed classes, but that greater care
Is now being exercised. and that with
the use of Belgian lists it is thought
the measure can be restricted solely to
the classes which it is designed to af-
feet.

Program of Premier.

This nucleus, with a number of prac-
tical business men in other positions. is
considered to make a strong showing.
Premier Lloyd Georges program is for
the reorganization of the country for
war on , sweeping socialistic basis
and the general comment is that only
a cabi1et, Of .slDernsp can accomplish
and conduct such d revolution. In ad-
dition to the naturalization of ship
ping. mines and agriculture, drastic re-
forms In the drink problem and the
temporary settlement of the chaos In
Ireland are discussed as the major
tasks confronting the new administra.
ton in the home field.
The appointment Of Mr.. Balfour and
Lord Robert Cecil to the foreign Office
Is welcomed in the London press, ex-
cept by Lord Northcliffe's newspapers.
Even the tory Post, which has been
bitter against the Asquith government.
speaks of Mr.. Balfour's stanch attitude
throughout the recent crisis. but gays
there may be some doubts as to
whether his delicate methods in ham
ding the affairs in the foreign Office
will be able to counter the brutal and
robust methods of the Germans.

Liberal Party Split.

Events emphasize the fact that David
Lloyd George, the new premier, has
split the liberal party into two fac
tions. The new cabinet will command
more support from the conservatives
in parliament than from the liberals
The liberal conference yesterday
pledged itself to support the new gov
ernment, as indeed any party must do
n such a crisis as Great Britain has
to meet
One reason advanced for the failure
of Premier Asquith's coalition govern
ment is that there was no strong op-
position and criticism in parliament.
because opposition was considered dis
loyalty to the nation.

The correspondents say that efforts

pose of attacking the entente allies in

Text of q. 8. Protest.

The note to Germany protesting against
the deportation of Belgians for forced
labor as contrary to all precedents and
humane principles of international prac-
tice, with the departments statement,
follows:
"On November 20 Mr. Grew. our charge
at Berlin, was directed to obtain an in
terview with the German chancellor and
read to him the following:
THE government Of the United States
has learned with the greatest concern and
regret Of the policy of the German gov
ernment to deport from Belgium portion
of the civilian population for the purpose
Of forcing them to labor in Germany and
Is constrained to protest in a friendly
spirit. but most solemnly. against this ac-
ton. which Is in contravention of all
precedentS and OF those humane prin-
ciples Of International practice which have
long been accepted and followed by civil
lized nations in their treatment Of nom
combatants.
Furthermore. the government of the
United States is convinced that the ef-
feet Of this policy, If pursued, will in all
probability be fatal to the Belgian relief
work. SO humanely planned and SO sue
cessfully carried out, a result which would
be generally deplored and which, it is
assumed. would seriously embarrass the

but it is understood that If one does
come, it will readily be made public II
