6 AMERICA TAKES RELIEF WORKERS FROM BELGIUM German Policy Compels United States to Withdraw From Stricken Country Washington, March 2 4.—American relief workers in Belgium and Amer ican Minister Brand Whitlock have been formally withdrawn from Bel gium. Official announcement to this effect was made at the State Depart ment this morning. The American relief commission will be replaced as far as possible by members of a point neutral commis sion largely under the supervision of Dutch military officials. Brand Whit lock will go to Havre, France, resum ing his duties as minister at the tem porary Belgian capital. The following announcement was given out by the State Department: "By direction of the President, the minister at Brussels has been instruct ed to withdraw from Belgium with foreign diplomatic and consular offi cers and take up his official residence at Havre. "After consultation with the com mission for relief in Belgium, Mr. Whitlock has also been instructed to arrange for the departure of the Am erican members of the commission. This step, the seriousness of which is fully appreciated by the government, was taken only after careful consid eration and full consultation with all the interests involved. "When diplomatic relations with Germany were broken off the normal procedure would have been to with draw the minister at Brussels and the American members of the relief com mission. But this government and the commission, however, felt a heavy moral responsibility for the millions of innocent civilians behind the Ger man lines, and it was decided that the work of tlie commission must be kept going despite all difficulties until con tinued American participation became impossible. "For over two years It has been the single-minded purpose of this gov ernment and the commission to see that these ten millions of civilians were fed and with this end in view, the Americans concerned have sub mitted to restrictions forced on them by the German authorities, which un der ordinary conditions, would never have been tolerated. "Immediately after the break in re lations the German authorities in Brussels withdrew from Mr. Whitlock the diplomatic privileges and immuni ties which he had up to that time en joyed. His courier service to The Hague was stopped; ho was denied the privilege of communicating with the Department of State in cipher and later everr in plain language. The members of the relief commission were placed under great restrictions of movements and communications which hampered the efficient per formance of their task. In spite of all these difficulties the government and the commission were determined to keep the work going till the last possible moment. Now, however, a more serious difficulty has arisen. In the course of the past ten days several of the commission's ships have been attacked without warning by German submarines in flagrant violation of sol emn engagements of the German gov ernment. Protests addressed by this government to Berlin through the in termediary of the Spanish government have not been answered. The Ger man government's disregard of its written undertakings causes grave concern as to the future of the relief work. In any event it is felt that the American staff of the commission cannot longer serve with advantage in Belgium. Although a verboJ promise has been made that the members of the commission would be permitted to leave if they desire the German government's observance of its other undertakings has not been such that the department would feel warranted in accepting responsibility for leaving these American citizens in German occupied territory. "This government has approved the proposals of the Netherlands govern- j meflt to send into Belgium a certain i number of Netherlands subjects to j carry on the work thus far performed by the American staff.'* I 1111 1 ™ For the invalid as well as | tkose in perfect health 113 Bakerb Cocoa is an ideal food bevy 1 erage, pure, delicious and wholesome. jJjkwSl I I' ft | ||'j,) Walter Baker Co.

PREPARES FOR LONG WAR [Continued From First Page] an important part in the conduct of actual warfare. \ Refuse Treaty Extension The United States has formally re fused Germany's request to modernize and extend the old Prussian-American treaties of 1799 and 1828. The State Department has replied through Dr. | Paul Ritter, Swiss minister here in 1 charge of German interests, refusing i |to accept the protocol sent through | I him to this government on February 10. ] The reply states that the United I States, considering the treaties in force iin their original form is entirely un | willing to accept Germany's interpre ) tation of them as provided In the pro tocol which expanded the exemption from seizure of "merchants and their effects" in case of war because the two counties, into a general exemption including enemy ships in port at the outbreak of war, which much either be left free or given safe conduct for their home ports, even through a hos tile blockade. Moreover, all enemy nationals would be free from interment and able to i go about their business, without the slightest, hindrance, during the whole course of the war and not in the re stricted way mentioned in the original treaties. Will Register Germans The question left unanswered by the I negotiations is the status of the" mil lion and a quarter German citizens in j this country. While the United States I has refused to agree to the blanket i exemption sought in the German pro-1 I tocol it nevertheless will follow the | spirit of the old treaties and not in-j | terfere with Germans here who com j ply with the law. The government will undoubtedly,' j in case of war, cause Germans to reg ister and possibly restrict their travel, j I without special permit, to certain j I limits. General interment is not being ' | considered as yet, as officials maintain i | that America's only object in the war I I would be to curb the German govern- i I ment and not to injure its citizens here, i ! It Is assumed on all sides that the I I great mass of Germans will respect I j their obligations as guest in this j country, but it is known also that | I some few will make trouble which j | will react more to the disadvantage jot | the rest than otherwise. Subject to Restrictions The War Department lias already j | secured full details of all the vari- i j ous principles and practices put into | effect in other counties and is pre j pared to carry out any plan that may I be ordered. So far the only one that■ has met with any favor Is the Cana- > I dian plan which leaves all Germans | ! free as before, subject to restrictions , on travel and obligations to register j and intern only those known to be enemies of the State. So far only | about 6,000 out of 80,000 have be been held. 91.000.000 VILLAUB FOR WOItKMKX Williamspof t, Pa., March 24.—Organ ization of a company with $1,000,000 capital to build homes for workingmen was decided upon at a meeting of di rectors of the Board of Trade yester day.

McCarrell, of the Dauphin county court, was yesterday upheld by the Supreme Court of the State in a decision in the case of H. Homer Mat ter, owner of "The Matterhorn," as the property at 134 North Fourth street is known.
