THE HAGUE, Nov. 21.—German
reports Indicate that the deporta*
tion of Belgians has been ordered
as a direct result of the failure of
the Germans to prevent the natives
of Belgium doggedly pursuing a po
licy of resistance in many ways that
could not be effectively prevented.
A gigantic system of spying has
kept the Allies informed of all Ger
man movements in Belgium and all
efforts to discover the principals in
the espionage conspiracy have prov
ed fruitless. Hence all Belgians with,
in the vicinity of military operations
have had to be deported.
BERLIN, Nov. 21.—Comment
there is none in the papers here
upon the Belgians being deported.
The general sentiment prevails that
the government which is standing

and sufficient reason which may not

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
NOW COMPLETED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 21.—
Wilson's message to Congress is al
most completed. It is admitted at
the White House that the President
I had practically concluded the first
j draft of the document this morning.
He will ask for legal powers where
by the country can effect a speedy
commercial and railroad mobiliza
tion in the event of war conditions.
Wilson in his message lays particu
lar emphasis upon the fact that a
maximum can best be accomplished
in any country when there is a mini
mum of unrest, and that for that
reason urgent need is required to re
move known causes of such unrest.
Wilson also champions compulsory
investigation of the question in
dispute between employers and em
ployed before a strike, thus flatly
opposing the principles so emphati
cally upheld by the American Fed
eration of Labor at the convention
now proceeding in Baltimore.
The heads of the message made
public form the text for sarcastic
editorials in the evening republican
papers, congratulating Gompers
upon the achievement of backing
Wilson who is now prepared to
right-about-face on all the principles
of the Gomper’s organization.
Labor papers abstain from criti
cism of these reported clauses in the
presidential message, and democrat
ic papers are completely silent on
the matter.
UNITED STATES IS MADE
ACQUAINTED WITH FACTS
BERLIN, Nov. 21.—The secretary
of the United States Embassy hero
has received the reports on the sink
ing of the Rowanmore and three
other steamers during September.
The reports in the hands of Secre
tary M’Grew show that the reports
of the shelling of life boats became
necessary because the boat refused
to stop, even after these had been
originally lowered. These German
precautions had saved lives on board
two other steamers which were not
sunk and which did not attempt to
run after called upon to stop.
The steamer Antwerpen was de
stroyed according to all the rules of
International Law, claim the Ger
mans.
The report denies that any boat
was sunk unwarned.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 21.—
Cabled text of the German reply to
the United States interrogations re
lative to the sinking of the Rowan
more are to hand with the State De
partment. These agree with earlier
statements on the subject and are
not commented upon.
LONDON, Nov. 21.—The British
Admiralty has completed the inves
tigation of the sinking of the Row
anmore and will place the final re
port in the hands of the American
Embassy as requested. No particu
lars are given out.

endurance in its effort to pile up
collosal profits from over-worked
labor. He pledged the united and
entire support of the Federation to
the brotherhoods in the event of a
strike.
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—The ap
parent agreement between the Fed
erationists and the brotherhoods in
dicates, says the New York Times,
that the development of a strike in
the railroad industry would not be
confined to the four brotherhoods.
It is urged that steps be taken to
prevent any organized body of men
however large from interrupting the
flow of traffic and the continuance
of industrial prosperity by any
strike action.
The article is pointedly directed
at Wilson calling upon some admi
nistrative action or recommendation
which would be effective along this
line.
STONE TELLS FEDERATION
END JURISDICTION FICHTS
BALTIMORE, Nov. 21.—When
Warren S. Stone, President of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neres spoke to the delegates of the
American Federation of Labor he
told some trilths that went home
with a rankling bitterness -even it
such was not his intention. Stone
frankly told the delegates that the
jurisdictional squabbles within the
Federation which were about as
foolish as dangerous prevented any
possibility of the railroad brother*
hoods affiliating with A. F. of L.
“We couldn’t risk our solidarity to
have our control of all our engineers
questioned by another organization’1,
is what he said. He said that the
Brotherhoods were quite happy and
not Worrying over one hundred in
junctions against strikes that had
been applied for, nor the control of
eight millions which were in em*
ployees’ treasury.
LOCAL ITEMS.
Mining around Nome will this sea
son not be so widely scattered as pre
ceding years although considerable
prospecting will be done. The ten
dency is to concentrate prospecting
around spots where pay has been
recently uncovered. For this reason
many outfits will try their luck in
the vicinity of Dexter, another
bunch will sink with hopeful energy
around the Diamond L on the Third
beach line, and several more have
lined up close to Jensen and Son
who are on very good pay on the
Second Beach. In addition several
important operations are under way
