1000 DRIVERS WALK
OUT IN TAXI STRIKE
ChauffeurS of Three Concerns
Leave Cars for Obscure
Reasons.

Calling a taxi, ordinarily the easiest
thing imaginable in the theatrical dis
trict Of New York, became the hardest
sort Of task last night as result OF
the drivers of the three largest compa-
MES going on strike. About 1000 cars.
G. one-quartor OF the city's supply OF
taxicabs. were out of service. The sc
constituted nearly all of the number at
tached to the various hotels and tie
atres in the downtown district. the rest
in services being almost exclusively inde-
pcndently owned cars which solicit busi-
ness at the public stands.
The three cornered strike began early
in the afternoon when about 100
chauffeurs of the Black and White Taxi
oab Company drove their machines into
the garage 3cS West Sixty-eighth street.
and walked away. A few hours
later the 800 drivers Of the Town Taxi
Company. with headquarters in .2s Eas,
Sixty fourth street, followed. And at
o'clock last night. just as the eve
ring demand began, the drivers OF the
Mason-Seaman Transportation COM
pany. between 400 and 800 in number,
stopped work.
At the Mason Seaman Company head
quarters. 622 West Fifty-seventh street,
1t was denied last night that there was
strike on. InlS was III splte vi tiic
fact that there was admitted to be a
conference going on between commit
tee of the drivers and the officials or
the company. 1t was explained that
certain minor grievances were being ad-
justed and the conference would probably
last until o'clock in the morning. but
that service would surely be resumed IN
the morning"
The Black and White Company, leader
in the independent associations which
have been operating at rates far below
the city's set maximum. began operations
last November l with fifty cabs. 1t now

drivers. About a month ago one or the

the concern, because he called the men
in" for violations of rules Yesterday
morning a committee of the men de-
manded the discharge Of this Inspector

struck without further parley.
Soon afterward a delegation OF tht
Town Taxi Company, which is also d.
rected by Mr.. Cole. informed him that
they would strike in sympathy unless
the demand was acceded to.

NEUTRALS' AID
Belgian Cardinal Urges Them
Not to Stop at Verbal
Protests.
Special cable Despatch TO THE suN.

PARIS, Jan. 10.--A letter from Car
dnal Mercier appealing to neutral nations
not to stop at verbal protests against
the Belgian deportations Is published in
La CrotJ, the official church organ. The
letter was written. La Croir says, to "a
high parsonage of an allied nation whose
name it is impossible to give" The letter
says:
Pray for beloved Belgium. She is
suffering as she never has suffered be-
fore The odious deportations are strip
ping our hearths. The anguish of those
who are spared thus far has brought
a general feeling of depression until
now unknown.
Some Of those deported by mistake
have returned. They describe the treat
ment they received as passing imagina
ton. We all are prisoners here, but If
the neutrals really knew the treatment
inflicted upon us I believe they would
not stop at verbal protestations. Other
wise all belief in the fraternsl charity
Of humanity must be abandoned. =
by depression I did not mean dis
couragement Very rare are the Bel
gians who wish peace as a means of es-
cape from their woes. They are un-
waNerng in their desire for peace
treaty that will give reparation and may
be signed with pride"
Delegates of the Belgian workingmen's
party who met December 10 somewhere
in the part of Belgium under German
rule adopted resolutions which they have
succeeded in sending to the Belgian Gov
crnment at lie Havre The resolutions
strongly oppose meeting the Socialists
of the Central Powers, saying that
France and Belgium must he evacuated
, before any attempt Is made at interna-
tional relations
The only reason for which the Belgian
I workmen will meet the German Social
Democrats is to demand an explanation
for their attitude on the kaisers ultima
tum to Belgium, the violation Of her ter
ritory and the atrocities upon her peo-
pie. They consider the German peace

APPEALS FOR INVALIDS.
War Ministry Wants Public to Give
War Cripples Work.

BERI IN, Jan. 9. via London, Jan. 10
The War Ministry has made public an
appeal on behalf Of war invalids. asking
especially that they be given work when
ever possible and never false sympathy
which is likely to be exemplifed more
and more by the purchase of postal
cards and knickknacks from invalids
who have taken to hawking and who
are deliberately playing upon sentimental
sympathies." The appeal says:
The States financial means are al
ready limited ana even with the most
favorable peace there will be no pros
rect for long time of sufficient wealth
to enable the State. wholly or even in
large part, to support its invalids. There
fore charity will not suffice. Work alone
uplifts and ennobles. even the poorest
work creates and sustains health"
The appeal warns against noticing or
commenting on invalids wounds and
against encouraging unworthy hawking
by the incapa acitated 1t urges that they
be given honorable work at every op-
portunity.
OF the total number OF officers and
men in the German army who were
ounded during the second year of the
war 20 per cent. fully recovered and
went back to the trenches. according
to official figures published by the Ger
man Government. Only GA per cent. of
the wounded were completely unit for

81 AND 81 CREENBACKS
AGAIN AFTER 30 YEARS
New Notes Will Displace' the
Larger Ones to Meet De-
mand for Small Bills.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. l0.-A new issue
of the one and two dollar gIeenbacks OF
civil war days, discontinued more than
thirty years ago, will be put into circu-
lation probably about February !, dis
,lacing similar United States notes of
larger denomination to provide relief
from the Unprecedented demand for
small paper money. The Treasury De-
nar,ment announced tonight that the
iss,,e had been decided on because silver
ordin,ry bills Of one and
two dollar denomination-could not be
issued under the law In sufficient guam
tlty to meet the demand.
THE demand for paper currency or
the smaller denominations said the De-
nartment's announcement. has always
been regarded by the Treasury as an In
dex to business conditions. For many
months there has been constantly
growing demand for one and two dollar
Li,,s. unit, now II is impossible 10 meet
the country's needs in this respect by
means OF silver certificates. which for
more than thirty years have been the
only form of paper currency issued IN
one dollar and two dollar denomina-
tions
"The aggregate amount OF United
States notes outstanding Is limited by
law to S346.6S1.016. However. as the
amount OF United States notes Of de-
nominations OF $40 and upward out
standing on January |. 1917. amounted
to S102,l45,300. II is evident that con-
siderable increase can be made In the
number of 81 and 50 greenbacks out
standing by means Of retirement and
cancellation OF notes OF higher denom!-
nations"

however, will be deferred until forty.
eight hours after it has been received
by the American Government.
The delays in sending the reply were
due to changes suggested by one of the
Entente Powers, but these proved to
be largely changes in phraseology and
not affecting the essential features of
the reply as first drafted in Paris and
London.
As now finally framed the reply Ia
considerably longer than was the answer
TO the German peace proposals and con-
tains approximately 200 to 1.5OO words.
Its statements concerning the terms Of
the Entente Powers are more spccifc
than were made in previous communica-
tons or official utterances. but they are
stil general and somewhat guarded in
character

Tho reply of the Allies is understood
to differ considerably both in tone and in
tenor from the answer given President
Wilson by Germany. Ii is believed to hs

Cerdiality. and to define broadly the
only terms upon which the Allies would
contemplate peace.

If not in form, quite as much to the
American people AS to President Wilson

the German pretensions to humanitarian

AMSTERDAM, Jan. TO- via London.--Dr
Michaelis, German Under Secretary OF
the Interior, contributes to the Tolks-

Germany that peace will not bring an
immediate solution OF the food problem.
He says:
we must expect for a considerable
time. perhaps for many years. further
limitation of consumption and rationing
as regards the most important food
stuffs. Germany in the coming years of
peace will have recourse almost eX-
clusively to such foodstuffs as are pro-
duced within her own borders. Tonnage
will be very scarce. and deterioration of
the rate Of exchange also will oblige
Germany to import as little as possible"
Pointing out that the German harvest,
even when a full yield is obtained. can
be made TO suffice only IL rationed prop
erly. Dr. Michaeiis says:
THUS even after peace it will be
necessary to keeD the belt pulled tight.
and there must be further sharp ration
ing. The yearning cry: Give us peace.
Give us more bread has no inner basis.
or this We must remain conscious and
