Statement Is Made

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Rc- garding the withdrawal of the Bel gian relief commission, the White House issued a statement which, In part, says: For over two years is has been the single minded pur- pose of this government and com mission to see that these ten mill ion ciyIIions were fed and with this end in view, Americans concerned have submitted to the restrictions imposed on them by the German authorities, which under ordinary conditions would never have been tolerated.
 Now, however, a more serious difficulty has arisen. In the course of the past ten days several of the relief commissions ships have been attacked without warning by Ger man submarines, in fragrant yio- lations of the solemn pledges of the German government. Protests ad- dressed by this government to Der lin. through the intermediary of the Spanish government have not been answered
 "The German governments dis regard of it's written undertaking causes grave concern as to the fu- ture relief work. In any event it is felt that the American stac and commission can no longer serve with advantage in Belgium"

REFUGEES SAY GERMANS PLANNED NEW DEFENSE
 LINE MANY WEEKS AGO

PARIS, March 24.-The first batch of repartiated Ferreh from the home region, who have arrived here, agree that the Germans have established a defense line through Cambria, st. Quentin, Lafere and Laon. One of the refugees said today:
 "For several months past. the Ger mans have been concentrating in the neiahborhood of this defense line particularly between St. Quentin, Cambria and Guise. All civilians deoorted from Northern France and Belgium were forced to carry out military works. Feverishly, the ref usees were compelled to labor un- der terrible threats. The Germans constructed a complete system of railroads and dug shell proof shel- ters on this new line."

the HOB0[s,
NOT TRAnPs OR BUNS

Chicago, Feb. 24--Hobo. tramp
and bum commonly are associated as
synonyms for the same class Of men
In the public mind. But there Is
wide variance, according to the Rev.
Irwin s.. John Tucker, president OF
the International Hobo college here.
Here are the definitions as he gives
them:
Hobo migratory worker.
Tramp-A migratory non-worker.
BuEl--A stationary non-worker.
The hobe," he said, "is the man
who does the heavy productive labor
Of the country-railroad construction.
bridge building and crop harvesting.
The idea that some fundamental mem
tai defect makes O man a migratory
worker Is wrong. 1t is the man who
stays at home all his life, content to
vegetate in one place, who has a men,
tai eject amounting almost to con-
genital idiocy.
"One of the causes for migratory
workers is the demand for them. For
instance, Kansas calls for 10000 har-
vesters each year. The difficulty is
that the farmer has no way of get
ting them. Drumming your way on
the train is liable to lead to arrest.
We new are trying to get free trans
port. on to take men to Jobs all over
the country.
There is a tremendous amount of
intellectual force among the hoboes.
The big stapdin" argument among
them is whether Schopenhauer. Berg
son, Nietzsche or Spencer offers the
proper philosophy for the hobo. They
divide their time between the public
library and the saloon. because those
are the only two places open to
them"
