The deportation of Belgians was re-
ported to have ceased last month as a
result of representations made by Pope
Benedict, and of protests from some
of the German Socialists. On May IA,
however, the Belgian government
learned that all men in the Belgian
province of Luxembourg were being
deported and that a census Of women

100000 Damage
As Fire Destroys
Baptist Temple
Firemen in Peril When
Wall of Brooklyn Struct-
ure Falls

The Baptist Temple, at Third Avenue
and Schermerhorn Street, an old land
mark in Brooklyn, was destroyed by
fire last night, with a loss of 100000
A number of firemen narrowly escaped
being crushed under the wall on the
Schermerhorn Street side.
The church, a brick structure, was
erected twenty years ago by the Rev.
DR.. Cortlandt Meyers. now pastor Of a
Boston church. The present pastor is
the Rev. DR.. G. c. Moore, of 247 New
York Avenue, Brooklyn. DR.. Moore was
one of the last to leave the church
building last night, after the regular
Wednesday night prayer meeting had
been held. This was about 10 o'clock.
Some time later smoke spread
through the neighborhood and an alarm
was turned in. The fremen were uu-
able TO locate the fire when they first
arrived, and it was not until flames be-
gan shooting through the church roof
that they realized it was in the large
auditorium
BY the time lines of hose were
brought up the whole structure was in
flames. The roof crashed in, and Dep
uty Chief Lally, realizing the danger,
ordered the apparatus Of Engine Com
rany No. 226 removed from Schermer-
horn Street.
The wagons had just backed away
and fremen, obeying Lally's shout of
warning, had leaped to safety when the
mass of bricks and debris came thun-
derine down into the street.
DR.. Moore said the building and site
were valued at about s35O,OOO. Aware

Albany, March THE Senate paved
the way to-day for the passage early
next week of two proposed constitu-

suffrage, which already has been
passed by the Assembly, and the other

voters at the 1918 elections.
Minority Leader Robert F. Wagner
submitted a minority report against
the literacy test, which the Judiciary
Committee reported favorably. The
amendment is slated TO pass in the
Senate, but it is destined to meet

DUBLIC opinion in Germany, as evi-
L denced through the German press,
seems to be overwhelmingly against
o diplomacy such as has been revealed
in the notorious zimmerman dis
patch. The various shades Of Liberals
represented by such papers as the
"Weser Zeitung," "Frankfurter lei
tung," "Berliner Tageblatt' and "Nos-
sische Zeitung," the intellectuals Of the
Conservatives as represented by the
"DeutSche TagesZeitung,' the Social
Democrats as represented by the "Nor-
waerts," and even the so-callod military
party as represented by the "Tagliche
Rundschau" are outspoken in their
criticisms and in their refusal to iden-
tify themselves with the policy re-
vealed in the note, this Jewel Of dl-
plomacy," as the "Tageblatt" sarcasti-
cally calls it.
The Liberal Catholics, as represented
by the "Volkszeitung," are reserving
comment, while only such papers as the
"Hamburger Nachrichten," represent
ing reactionary tendenciea, and the
"Berliner Lokal Anzeiger," an indepen-
dent paper, representing in no wise
leading opinion. or purely provincial
papers like the "Hannoversche Cour-
Ter" are actively defending thinner
mann's policy.
Criticism is Widespread
II is of unusual significance, as | see
it, that neither the "Norddeutsche ALI
gemeine Zeitung,S the official govern
ment organ, nor the "Koelnische lei
tung," semi-o.ficial organ, has so far
been heard from: 1t may be equally
significant that the wireless messages
which have arrived from Berlin bear no
indication of having been censored, al
though the critical attitude of the ma
jorty of the German press is revealed
quite plainly in all OF them.
Several American correspondents now
in Germany have also stated by wire
less their own view of the zimmerman
note by referring 10 it in the most un-
complimentary terms. II should, there
fore, be pointed out most emphatical-y
that. according 10 the press dispatches
which have so far reached us, German
public opinion as a unit criticises me
zimmerman procedure, and also, what
is much more important for US in
America, that the majority OF German
public opinion appears to oppose his
entire policy Of seeking alliances on
this continent.
Many tales have from time to time
been circulated about persons and poll
cies in the various belligerent coun
tries. As far as Germany IS concerned
we have been treated again and again
to elaborate stories Of a Tirpitz party,
of a Tirpitz intrigue, etc. Compare
