The formal protest of the United
States was as follows:
1.-The government of the United
States has learned with the greatest
concern and regret of the policy of the
Belgium portion Of the civilian popu-
lation with the result Of forcing them
to labor in Germany, and is constr lined
to protest in friendly spirit but most
solemnly against this action which is
IN contraventiOn of all precedent and
those humane principles of Internal
honal practice which have Ion, - :
accepted and followed by civilized ma
tons in their treatment of noncomba-
tants in conquered territory. Further
more, the government of the United
States is convinced that the effect Of
this policy if pursued will in all prob
ability be fatal to the Belgian relief
work, so humanely planned so sue
cessfully carried out, a result which
would be generally deplored and
which, it is assumed, would seriously
embarrass the German government"
This protest was followed by those
of the pope, the king of Spain, the
government Of Switzerland and other
neutrals. They were of no avail, ex-
cept, perhaps, to lead the German au-
thorities to draw tighter veil over
their detestable proceedings. But the
evidence has in some measure come
through, although the full facts Will
not be known until the Liberation Of
!. heroic Belgium.

GERMAN REVOLT

Evidences of the strained relations as re-
CARDS war aims continue to appear in the
German newspapers. The Leipzig Volks-
zietung says a meeting of the annexation
lists fatherland party at Jena was broken
up by the independent socialists who,
after passing vote for general peace by
understanding, threw out the members of
the fatherland party.
At this meeting DR.. Bernhard Dernburg,
formerly secretary of state for the colonies,
urged disarmament and said that if the
fatherland party won the war would be
lost. He rejected annexations and cash in
IDENTITIES and declared Germany was pow
erless to enforce long term payments, by
installments, from America and England
Annexations in the East, he asserted,
would be source of constant danger, as
they would irritate Russia.
While Pan-German petitions and resolu-
tons are being sent to the Emperor by the
militarists, other currents are active This
is instanced by the meeting at Frankfort
Of the Free Citizens Committee, which
adopted resolution to the effect that a
asting peace which would really safe
guard Germanys vital economic interests
would be possible only on the basis of
policy of Cancellation in the sense of the
peace resolution adopted by the Reichstag
The committee expressed the hope that
from the negotiations with Russia might
result peace which, by honest adherence to
the principle of "self-determination of
peoples" might exclude the danger of new
conflicts.
The alleged policy of Won Kuehlmann,
which includes an understanding with
England at any price," has caused very
storm of protest to sweep over the German
Empire. 1t is such storms as these which
show the way the wind blows from that
quarter, and lead the Entente powers to
believe that the Germans as people, are
sick of the war and militarism.

TO KILL GERMANS

Rear Admiral Colby n. Chester, u. S.
N, retired, now professor of naval science
at Yale University, has called upon all
civilians to give the President and the
Army and Navy their undivided support
in the winning of the war.
AT a meeting of the Yale Club, Admiral
Chester said:
The President of the United States, the
chief admiral of the Navy and the chief of
staff OF the. Army must be our council of
defence. They must be the ones to decide
what to do and how to do it. and you must
help them and leave them unhampered to
win the war.
Trust the Army and Navy, for that is
the force that will bring this war to a sue
cessful issue. Your position is to support
the President of the United States and not
have too many cooks to spoil the BROTH
When the war began, Admiral Chester
said, the Navy was ready. Scarcely was
the ink on the Presidents war proclama-
ton dry, he said, when Admiral Gleave's
squadron was on its way to the battle front
to do real fighting.
The submarines destroyed by the Navy,
the admiral said, mount UP to high num-
Der. He added
eve know we have got the best of the
situation. Not one soldier carried across
the ocean has lost his life due to anything
concerning the Navy"
The investigation ito find fault, if there
was any fault" Admiral Chester said, had
given the Navy the highest kind of com
mendation for its preparedness.
'"The way to win the war;" he said,
SIS to kill Germans"

A MESSAGE TO CHILDREN

Here is the message of service that Mr..
McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, is send
ing out to the children of America, upon
whom he is relying for assistance in win
ming the war, through the Thrift Cam
paign:
Nations have their childhood and their
days of hard lessons just as children do
One hundred and forty years ago, when the
first American army marched to battle,
our nation was younger among nations
than you are among your fathers, your
mothers, and their friends. Our army had
drummer boys in those days, real boys of
10 and IL, who marched as bravely and as
proudly into cannon fire as their great
chief, General Washington, himself. Our
nation had little girls, who laughed and
cheered and loaded muskets for their faith
ers, who fired through loop holes in their
cabin homes, when the painted Indians
charged to the very doors.
Where many schoolhouses stand today
American boys and girls may have helped
to fight and to defeat the enemy, when our
nation too, was young.
We are in the greatest war of the worlds
history and we must win this war We
can and we shall win, if the boys and girls
of America say SO, and mean it, and feel it,
and live it, as the boys and girls of '76 lived
and felt and helped.
The nation needs that sort of boys and
girls today. Not to beat our drums, nor
to load our muskets, but to start a great
work which must be done 1t is the part
O. boys and girls today to give an example
of se1f-denial and sacrifice, to teach fathers
and mothers, to teach the grown people of
the nation, that we still have in every
young heart the spirit of '76

FOR THE FIGHTING MEN

Representatives of the Army, Navy,
War Risk Board, Federal Vocational
Training Board, the Red Cross and the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, have conferred in an effort to CO.
ordinate the various measures for the care
of American soldiers and seamen. Deter
nination of definite government policy
for the work was the object of the confer
ence called by Surgeon General Gorgas at
the direction of the Secretary of War
A committee programme, based on the
English system, has been submitted to Mr.
Baker by the Army Medical Corps, but has
not yet been acted upon and considerable
confusion is said to exist among organiza-
tions willing to assist, as to the part they
shall play in the general scheme, of re-
Mobilization.
The theory OF the Medical Corps that the
soldier who comes back from France must
not be considered an object of charity, is
good one. He is still soldier, and should
be kept upon military pay until he is able
TO earn his own living

lated will necessitate the establishments Of

ions Tor them have already been submitted

TO PREVENT FRATERNIZATION

The Germans are doing their utmost to
prevent determination at the front between
the German and Russian troops, in order
to prevent the spread of the Bolsheviki
propaganda. The Petrograd correspond
ent of the London News interprets the
German efforts to stop determination at
the front as meaning that the Bolsheviki
propaganda is having its effect among the
German soldiers, The Germans, it is
claimed. conhscate all copies of Facitel, a
Russian newspaper printed N German,
containing full account OF the Brest-
Litovsk negotiations and other propa-
gandist literature Notwithstanding this
