 fair and just discussion. Hamman declares that their reply nothing than plea to the neutral nations in their own behalf and against the Central alliance The former attache also said with respect to the statement garding the martyrdom of Belgium that the status of Belgium proven by the fact that in 1911 London and Paris opposed the fortfcaOn of Flushing which stands the mouth of the river Schedt that easy to Antwerp could be secured This fortifying, Hamman says opposed because the British desired to be able to transport troops up the Scheldt to Antwerp and make that city base for military operations in the direction of the lower Rhine and Wesphaa, The fortifcaton of adjoining French forts carried out instead and this made it evident Hamman says, that Belgium had been mapped out all the time as base from the Entente.

BOASTS LAWSON
 IN THE SENATE
STONE DECLARES ACCUSATION OF OFFICIALS Is \
 PRIESTHOOD.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Senator Stone bitterly aSSailed Thomas w.. Lawson on the senate floor this after noon for his accusation that officials of the administration gave out in- formation that affected dealings on stock exchange.

He ex- pressed contempt for sensation fax CTS of the Lawson type in his perora- tion. Lawson today conferred with Congressman Henry for an hour and a half and Henry later declared that the material is not sufficient on which to base a congressional investigation. No names of alleged informants or speculators have been given, he says, but Lawson declares that the trouble has only started. After his arrival in Washington Lawson offered to tes- tify before a congressional commis- sion and he urged complete investi- gation.

Stacker Claims Family
Needs Support; Works
Four Days Each Week

Philadelphia, Dec. 6.-An example
has been made by one of the county
public safety committees of the type
of Stacker whose family respon-
sibilities" were sufficiently pressing
to enable him to evade military serv-
ice but not weighty enough thereaf-
ter to require much of his attention.
Through the plea of married re-
sponsibilities" supplemented by the
argument that he was needed for vi
tally essential work, miner in the
county was exempted. His devo-
ton to vital industry was manifested
later by his scheme of working but
four days week at high pay and
spending the rest of the time in
anything but meeting the obiiga-
tions upon which his exemption was
based.
This man was warned by the pub
lie safety committee to stick to work
and care for his family. His response
was n defiance of the committee and
a continuance of his course.
Thereupon the committee laid the
case before the local exemption
board, arguing that the mans fam
lily, and his country, too, would de-
rive more benefit from his services
if he were required to accept mill
tary duty. Exemption in this case
was Immediately withdrawn and the
offender faces drafting.
The action has had a salutary ef-
feet on several other cases.
