NO REGARD FOR THE LAWS
Speaker Paid Tribute to Amer
ica's Aid in Belgium Through
the Agency OF Ambassador
WhitlOCk.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Sept. 81
The story of three years OF Germna
violation Of the covenants of the
Hague convention, during the Teu-
tonic occupancy of Belgium since
the world war began, was told brief
ly today by CASTOR de Leval, of the
Bar of Brussels, to members of the
American Bar association, in con
vention here.
Many articles of the Hague cOnven-
ton, when tested by the facts in Bel
gium with the invaders applying their
own interpretations, proved almost
valueless," MI de Leval said.
The imposing of excessive fines,
the punishment by death and impris-
onment of Belgian men and women
and children unwarrantably accused
of treason and lesser crimes, and the
deportation of his cOmpatriots into
slavery were discussed by Mr.. de
Leval from the legal viewpoint.
Notwithstanding "all the sufferings
and tyranny to which the Belgian
population has been subjected" the
speaker asserted, the people are as
patriotic now as when in the early
period OF the war they stemmed the
German flood at Liege.
, Mr.. de Leval told how the Germans
tried to make capital of the quarreis
which, before the war, had taken
place between the Flemish and Wal
loon elements of Belgium-the ones
descendants of German tribes and
the others descendants of the Ro-
mans
Mr.. de Leyal paid tribute to Amer
icas aid to his country. and espe.
cially to Brand Whitlock, former min
lister to Belgium. His name," he
said "wiA go down in history" add
ing, Il know that in no other coun-
try of the world so much as in Amer
ica, in this country of freedom and
Justice, do the sufferings of the Bel
gians arouse sympathy You have
saved Belgium from starvation, and
till the end of ali time there will be
in each village of Belgium a memor-
ial put up to remind future genera
tions that if the Belgian race has not
died out, honor for it's preservation
is due to the citizens of free and
generous America"
Mr. de Leval paid tribute also
to Cardinal MERCER, who, he said,
"stood in the country like a living
flag of Belgium, like religious king
and from all the world he received
the homage due to his courage and
ssEenius." The speaker said that one
place which remained sacred from
invasion was the church, to which
''the arm of the German law did not
dare extend the iron fist

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 3.-"Stop
the fires in America and win the war
in Francev'
For some time this has been the
slogan OF the fire insurance companies
of the United States whose oflcials
were alarmed by the tremendous in
crease In fires due 10 incendiaries and
10 explosions caused presumably by
enemy aliens who desired TO destroy
American foOdstuffs and supplies.
The president has issued a procla-
nation barring enemy aliens from GER
tain districts and cities, and now
secretary Of War Baker proposes to
have piers. wharves and other essen
tial points on the Atlantic seaboard
guarded by armed forces
The government. at last aroused by
the danger, is going to do all il can
but here are two things that the or
iinary citizen can do:
FlRST-He can help save food. be-
cause millions Of dollars worth Of
foodstuffs have been destroyed
thanks TO German incendiaries.
SECCND-IIe must not only be care
ful himself 10 prevent fires. but he
can aid his government by being on
the lookout against incendiaries and
plotters who would like TO destroy
food and munitions.
THE DANGER Is NOT AN IAIAGIN-
AIRY ONE. SINCE THIS COUNTRY
ENTERED THE WAR ABOUT s25, ,OOO.-
300 WORTH OF FOOD HAS BEEN
DESTROYED. THIS Is AT THE RATE
Of Si5,000O00 PER ANNI'N, OR
ENOUGH To FEED AN AMERICAN
ARMY OF ONE MILLION MEN FOR
ABOUT A THIRD OF A YEAR.
The food losses by large fires are es-
iimated as follows: April. S2OQ0OO0;
May, S2,500OOO; July, Si,J0OO0O; Au-
gust. S2O00O00; September, Si.5OOOOO :
october, si0,OO0000, This is a total Of
si9,5OO,00O and the smaller fires will
swell this 10 s25,O0OOOO, Of which
ihree-fourths is supposed. ~ be due 10
incendiary Ores.
The total fire loss due 10 incendary
causes in this country in 1918 was
about SiO,OOOOOO.
The total due TO the same cause In
1916 was about s25.OOOOOO, but this
Joss was largely IN munitions.
