St.' Croix, lying 65 miles southeast of
Porto Rico, has an" area? of 84 square

the group, with its two towns of
Chrlstlanstad and Frederikstad. It

Preliminary preparations - looking to
the withdrawal of General Pershing's
punitive expedition from Mexico were
in progress, today. "Stop orders" have
been issued to the ordnance and supply
department at the Columbus base
while, from private sources, it was re
ported that the American-outposts at
EI Valle, Charcos and San Joaquin
are being drawn Into the field head
quarters at Colonia Dnblan. However,
in military circles here lack of infor
mation is professed as to the actual
movement of American outposts.
Empty Traoks Southbound.
Replying to queries of Andres Gar
cia, Mexican consul general here, to
the commander of the Carranxlsta gar
rison at Casas Grandes, the latter
wired: "No troops have yet reached
Colonia Dublan but many empty trucks
have passed here southbound."
Military officials In this district as
sert that huge quantities of reserve
supplies and ammunition: must first be
moved to the border before the actual
march of troops begins. They regard
the present activity as the first of a
series of necessary preliminary moves.
After the order of withdrawal Is
actually issued it will take at least two
weeks for 12,000 men to reach Ameri
can soil. Marching steadily 15 miles
a day, the infantry will be -on the
march eight to ten days.
Transportation a Bis; Problem.
Army men in charge of transporta
tion state that problems would be seri
ous if General Pershing's men reach
Columbus to be distributed along an
1800 mile stretch nf border while the
militio are homeward bound.

There were many effervescing
hearts around the modest hamlet of
Osweso at that time. Wonderful
things, were expected by the people,
as a result of the new venture. There
were visions of an enormous payroll.

The Oswego ore was low graae ana

money, and the result was that pig

could be produced at the Oswego plant,
and for this reason the industry
proved a financial failure.

The compulsory employment of Bel
gtan workmen in' German establish
ments is being seised upon by the
enemies of Germany as welcome op
portunity for inflaming publlo opin
ion in neutral and hostile countries
against this alleged latest violation of
the Belgian people, according to a me
morial from the German government
dealing with the deportation of Bel
gian workers, which was delivered to
the state department today by the Ger
man embassy.
Among tbe points mad! la defense of
Germany's attitude are:
That the measures are in no wise
detrimental to the Belgians from an
economte point Of view, aonsldering
the extent of the unemployment there,
the principal cause being the ruthless
British blockade, which has caused the
closing of Belgium's principal Indus
tries. -
. BAploymeat Called sreeeesary. .
That Germany's seising of raw prod
ucts had nothing to do with the unem
ployment being done in factories which
already had shut down."
That 1.560.000 people la Belgium
were in need ' of assistance and that
employment was necessary to keep self
respect instilled in the Belgians and
to enable them to retain their skill as
workmen.
That the ordinance against Idleness
was to be enforced only In eases where
the unemployed person refused, with
out satisfactory reason, to perform
work of which he was capable, or for
which he was offered adequate pay
and that every reason for refusal based
on International law was considered
satisfactory.
laborers are WeU Treated.
That laborers were not forced to par
ticipate tn military work.
That laborers sent to Germany are
placed on the same footing with Ger
man laborers and are receiving higher
wages than ever paid in Belgium and.
in addition, provisions have been made
for a part of these wages to be turned
over to relatives who remained at
home. The laborers also are granted
leave at regular Intervals to return
home to visit their families and on
requeat may bring their wives with
them to Germany.
That thousands of Belgians have ap
plied for the chance to go to Germany
and thus place themselves on a self
respecting basis of supporting them
selves and even saving money.
