tContnuation of Chapter XXX-The Deportation
Of the Unemployed
A CITING on the advice of the Marquis de Villalobar,
"a the Spanish minister in Brussels number of prom
nent Begians animated by desire to exhaust every
possible means to put end to the deportatons had
recourse to direct appeal to the Emperor On sun
day. February H. the Spanish minister and NJ Levle,
minister of state repaired to the archbshops house to
acouaint the Cardinal with their plan and to ask him
to ioin hands with them. The interview resulted in an
agreement that the Cardinal should draw up the appeal
and that NJ eve should be commissioned to gather the
signatures.
On Wednesday a copy of the document was handed
to the Spanish minister He in turn passed it on to Baron
der Lancken, who at once dispatched 1t to Berlin
On Thursday, the 18th, NJ Levie, Baron de FaVereau
and Prince de Lgne, the introduction of the Marquis
de Valobar handed the appeal officially to Baron Won
der Lancken, who shortly to leave for Berlin. The
chief of the political department promised his active
support as we'll as that of the Governor General in
order to obtain from the Emperor the favorable answer
to the appeal.
The text of the petition runs follows:
Imperial Majesty.
The signatories of this appeal with heavy hearts
have seen and still every day thousands of their
brethren torn from their families and dragged for
cibly into exile, where they compelled to choose
between starvation and work which offends their dig
nifty as patriots The representatives of the various
public bodies in Belgium ministers of state the HER
archy members of Parliament, the magistracy and
the bar, commercial and industrial magnates, trade
unions and workmen's societies, have raised their
voices on behalf of their countymen and have brought
to the notice of the General Government with that
candor which is the mark Of free people, the deep
distress of the nation the that have brought
it about those that foster it and those that day by
day augment it.
If your Majesty has leisure to peruse these docu
ments and will degn to verify the grounds on which
they rest there be doubt that you will
be inclined to do us justice. You can hardly imagine
the of indignation which would pass over your
empire, if your subjects were unreasonably
expatriated and coerced into consolidating by their
work foreign domination.
Your Imperial Majesty prides yourself your
loyalty to your faith. May not then be allowed
to remind you of the simple and yet striking words
of the Gospel "Do unto others that which you would
have done to YOURSELF?
The Emperor of Germany will understand how
repugnant to national amour propre is soliciting
as a favor what in normal times could justly claim
as right.

To Baron Won der Lancken.
Dear Baron-M. Merjay, residing at l6i Rue de
Culture, Brussels, of Lieutenant General Meray,
has Just been condemned to death by Charleroi tri
bunal. Since the war began he had lost his wife,
one of his sons had fallen in battle, another had
become prisoner The Merjay family is emirently
honorable and Christian The new Governor Cen
eral \ would bring honor himself by using Glenn
ency toward the condemned men.
You will perhaps remember that last January
you gave hope of the release of the Dean of Orp
le-grand, NJ. Herman, who then had undergone half
his sentence. The month of May will soon be here
and the poor deanT is still in his cell at Siegburg. He
has already completed nearly year and half of
his sentence Cannot his last six months be remtted
1t is traditional practice for the archbishop
to consecrate his suffragans. Thus was invited to
consecrate the Bishop of Ghent Tuesday
May l. and oyfully accepted the invitation. And now
pass to Ghent is refused though had in my request
for permit indicated the whole Of my itinerary. But
all these personal grievances, put up with without
protest.
In return, may not hope that the German au-
thorties will lean more toward clemency? Will you
not your influence to bring them to this way of
acting? deem it my duty TO remind you of the de-
lays made in repatriatng wOrkmen; of the la
mentable condition in which they return to us-a
clear evidence of the treatment they have undergone
The will not last forever. You who see things
from broader point of view than the militarists
should make them understand that they can have no
interest in arOusing against them the indignation of
all right-thinking the day conditions of peace

Golf for Fighters
BY Willie Richie, Former World
CHAMPION Lightweight ROYorl

BY Willie Richie, Former Worlt
Champion Lightweight Boxer.)
My advice to every youngster who
has aspirations to make q name fol
himself in the professional prize ring
or in the ranks OF the amateurs, II
to take up the game of golf, and de
1t at once.
! confess there was time when
thought that golf was a "sissie'
game. That was because l formed
an opinion without knowing anything
about it. The way ] came to take ur
golf was from purely commercial
and sordid point OF view. I began
to play because never had heard OF
any other pugilist doing the stunt
and so did It to get the publicity
! was then worlds champion. 1t was
just beore my fight against Leach
Cross in New York in the fall OF
1913. 1t worked out all right, for !
got the publicity was looking for.
At the same time, though, discov-
cred the merits Of the game and, to-
day. ! consider it one OF the most
wonderful, II not the most wonder.
full, games in the world.
After q boxer has done road work
and gymnasium exercise for a while
1t begins to get deadly monotonous.
1t goes against the grain SO much at
times that fighters are liable to shirk
1t. Then 1t Is that you read that so
and so was not In condition when he
entered the ring. Every fighter
should keep himself up to certain
standard Of physical perfection at all
times, and there is nothing better
than golf as a means of accomplish
ing this.
1t not only keeps the boxer out
doors, where he gets plenty of fresh
air, but he will get all the exercise he
requires without any danger of be-
coming overturned as 10 the case
with road and gymnasium work. In
golf he not only will find plenty to
interest him but. in nine cases out Of
ten. venture to say the boys will
take a decided liking to the game
and continue 1t ater they are through
with the ring. Such is the case with
me.
The very uncertainty of golf is
what sustains q persons interest in
1t. For q while you will be going
around q course in say IS strokes.
