SAYS GERMANY IGNORES
INTERNATIONAL LAW
Belgium Protests Redistricting Of
Her Territory and Creation
of Two Governments.

HAyRE. August 27.-The Belgian
government has addressed long and
earnest protest to the entente allied
and the neutral governments against
German violations of international and
moral law In the redistricting of Bel
GUM, so that it Will have two govern
ments and two capitals. instead OF one.
and in derorting or arresting Belgian
officials who resigned their positions
rather than continue in office under the
new regime.
The protest begins by the citation OF
article 43 of the fourth Hague conven-
ton. according to which an occupying
power must, in so far as it is possible
govern occupied territory in conformity
| with the territory's own law. The pro
test then points out that this clause was
violated by the Germans March p. 1917

tack the Belgian constitution, which

One Province Dismembered.

THE German DEGREES" says the pro-
test, "supermpose divisions on prov
inces and on each division made up of
provinces in n manner that the consti-
tuition does not recognize. They dis
member one of the provinces and put in
it two capitals. in place of one.
The measures have only the goal of
serving German interests to the detri-
ment of Belgium and creating a schism
between the Belgians."
The protest then takes up the part which
Belgian officials remaining in Belgium
played in the administration until certain
of them have felt it their duty to resign,
so as to show the sentiments which ami
mate the entire body of Belgian function
aries The result of these designations.
Gays the document, has been to subject
the country to new rigors contrary 10
human law. The German government has
denied them the right TO refuse their serv-
ice and has arrested and deported them to
Germany, though when they originally
agreed to carry on their normal functions
ii was under the express stipulations that
The Hague tribunal conventions would
be respected. The protest concludes as
follows.

HOLLAND IS SUFFERING
FROM COAL SHORTAGE
Germans Fail to Live Up to Contracts
for Fuel in Exchange
for Food.
Especial Cablcgrnm to The Star and
Chicago Daily News.)

THE HAGUE. Holland August 27-
The lack of fuel is making itself felt
more and more in Holland. The news
papers are publishing daily lists of
industries compelled to close down be-
cause they do not have enough coal
Railway service has been reduced and
number Of passenger and freight
trains have been taken off. The steam
and electric street cars also are dimin-
ishing their service and some of the
cars have stopped running entirely.
1t this city the gas supply is almost
entirely cut Off from 4 pm. to 8 pm
and the amount permitted to be used
by consumers during other hours has
been reduced. In some municipalities
the authorities are urging the bakers
to combine into groups, each group
using only one oven. During the COM
ing winter the fuel rations of the
households will be reduced to the min
imum.
These economies are necessary be-
cause Germany is not sending the
quantity OF coal contracted for in re-
| turn for Dutch food products. OF the
| 100000 tons "A month contracted only
| a part has been received. Since the be-
| ginning Of this month Germany has
! been sending not to exceed 1000 tons
a day. Dutch mines produce from
225.000 to $50 900 tons n month. which
| is barely sufficient to meet the most
pressing needs Of the country.
