1 beg ti* acknowledge the receipt of your

Your eminence wrote to me otj the 19th
of fbtober last with the object of putting
an end to the deportation of Belgian un
employed into Herniany. In my reply of
October 19 while fittingly realixlng your
eminence’s standpoint. I set forth the rea

to form Its decisions rcspeetlng the un

to arbitrarily, mr without ample investi
gation of this difficult problem, but were
on the contrary tin* result of an exhaust
ive study of all the aspects of this ques
tion. The necessity of the steps taken
was reoguised as unavoidable In short.
1 feel Justified in referring your eminence
to the • onsiderations which 1 set out in
my letter pf October ?6. The reasons you
allege for combatting them rest either on
tha mistaken interpretation you give
them, or ars derived from theories which
from thetr very nature l cannot admit,
for such widespread unemployment to
Belgium Is a serious sore tn the body
politic, and from this point of view a
benefit would be conferred on the unem
ployed if work were provided for them in
Germany In this sense the steps taken
nre by no means contrary to the desire )
express'd to your eminence the very mo
ment I arrived in Belgium, to remedy the
evils the war has inflicted on thr Belgian
people. 1 must also maintain tliat your
eminence fails to understand the reality
of facts, when >ou seek t<* deny my ef
forts to restore the economic life of Bel
gium- efforts which have often been
crowned with success and also when you
say that so Nir from favoring the restora
tion of Industry, the occupying power ha*
endeavored to create an artificial stale of
unemployment Kngluiul has imposed un
acceptable conditions on the Importation
of raw materials into Belgium apd on the

"A treat" Why. on this occasion rather
than on any other?" asked Uncle Wlg

"Because this ia New Year's Day."'
went on Miss Fussy Wussy', "and w. al

dinner. This time lam going to give
you a cabbagr cake!"
“Oh. that will be fine* * cried the bun

glasses so he could clap his paws without
tickling his pink, twtnltng nose "If there
is one thing 1 like more than another, it i
is cahbajre cake."
"I thought you would," went on the j
muskrat lady "Well, it is almost rearix
to put in tlve oven .Vs soon as tt is

She stopped suddenly, and listened to
the ringing of the telephone bell.
"It’s some one for you," said Uncle
Wlggtly, after harking a moment to soma
one speaking at the other end of the
wire.
"Dear, me"* exclaimed Nurse Jan.' "1
hope ! don’t have to go out before 1 fin

And after she had listened a moment
or two. to her animal friend at the
other telephone. Nurse Janes said
"Well, Wiggy, I do have to go out. but
I will not b<* long Mrs TwDtytail. the
pig lady has just* bought a

But when half an hour or more had

fussy
"I think T better see *K>ut that cab

On the table was a larre cab bag and

Quentin is now' taking a great interest
in baseball. Yesterday *the Force School

Played the P-st nine on the White House
grounds where Quentin has marked out
a diamond. The Force School nine was
victorious by a score of 22 to 5. I told
Quentin I was afraid the P-st boys must
have felt badly and he answered, “Oh, l
guess not! you see I filled them up with
lemonade afterward!”

j Kthel had with her new bull terrier,

have accidentally kicked Mike. The first
they knew the bulldog sprang at the
j little mare’s throat. She fought plucki
iv. rearing and plunging, and shook him
off. and then Kthel galloped away. As
soon as she halted, Mike overtook her
and attacked Fidelity again. He seized
her by the shoulder and tried to seize
her by the throat, and twiCe Ethel had to
break away and gallop off, Fitz Lee en
deavoring in vain to catch the dog. Fin
ally ho succeeded, just as Mike had got
Fidelity bv the hock. He had to give
Mike a tremendous beating to restore
him to obedience; but of course Mike
will have to be disposed of. Fidelity
was bitten in several places and it was
a wonder that Ethel was able to keep
her seat, because naturally the frighten

FOUR SHEEPISH SMALL BOYS.
White House, April 11, 1908.
DEAREST ARCHIE:
Ethel has bought on trial an eight
months bulldog pup. He is very con
ning, very friendly, and wriggles all over
in a frantic desire to be petted.
Quentin really seems to b getting on
pretty well with his baseball. In each
of the last two games* he made a base
hit and a run. I have just had to give
him and three of his associates a dress
ing down—one of the three* being Char’io
Taft. Yesterday afternoon was rainy,
and four of them played five hours In
side the White House. They were very
boisterous and were all the time on the
verge of mischief, and finally they made
spithails and deliberately put them on
the portraits. T did not discover it until
after dinner, and then pulled Quentin
out of bed and bad him take them all
off the portraits, and tills morning re
quired him to bring In the three other
culprits before me. I explained to them
that the> had acted like boors; that it
would have been a dlsgrae* to have be
haved so in any gentleman’s house; that
Quentin could have no friend to see him,
•ind the other three could not come in
side the White House, until T felt that
« sufficient time had elapsed to seTve
as punishment. They were fotfr very
sheepish small boys when l got through
with them.

other things that go to make a cake, all |
mixed up into a sweet dough.
"It seems to me all that needs to be I
done is to put the cabbage into the I
cake, or the cake into the cabbage, slip
it In the oven and bake it," spoke the
Ismny rabbit gentleman to • himself.
[ That’s what Ini do. I*ll inak<> the
cabbage cake and Nurse -lane and I will
eat It for our New Year’s dinner."
The rabbit gentleman looked at the
things on the kitchen table—at the can
bage and the cake dough, and at the pans.
Then he looked at the stove, the oven of
which was hot and waiting for a cake to j
vome and plan’ tag with It.
"I w ish I knew whether to put the ,
cake dough imo the cabbage, or the head
of cabbage into the e&kc dough." thought !
the bunny. 1 guess it's easier to put I
the cabbage Into the cake rather than the
cake into the cabbage. If Ido th»* firfit I
won t have to make a hole in the cabbage
head."
So Uncle Wiggily just took the whole !
head of cabbage, not knowing any better. |
put it in a pan and poured the cake dough
all around it.
"It looks just lik*‘ a big-plum or raisin
in a plum or raisin cake" said Uncle
Wiggily with a jolly laugh "Now to,
bake it in the oven."
Opening the door careful!, so as not to;
burn his paw, the bunny put the cab- ■
bage. covered h« it was with cake dough, j
into the hot oven, Then he sat down to l
wait for It to hake *
The fire In the stove grew hotter and I
hotter. A fine smell of something sweet
being baked se« med to steal out into the
kitchen of the hollow* stump bungalow.
! Uncle Wljrgil) was just thinking his cab
bag* cake must be nearly baked when,
[all of a sudden, there was a loud hanging
j nols *
Open flew the oven <*oor. and out from
»the oven shot a shower of pieces of cab
bage. and pieces of partly baked cak*. All
| over Unde Wiggily, as well as all around
the kitchen, scattered and splattered and 1
and smattered the < abbas. and cake. Un
de WlggUy f**lt pieces of it sticking on
•his pink, twinkling nose and on his ears.
"Dear, me' What happened?" asked
the rabbit gentleman, picking himself up
| cut of a corner where he had been blown.
"It was Just like an explotloit!'*
"It was an explosion!" cried a voice be
hind the bunny, and there stood Nurss

Jane. "Whatever in the world did you
do?” she asked.
"I—l just put the cabbage in the cake,'*
answered Uncle Wiggjly.
And did you put In a whole cabbage,
without cutting it up, or making a hole In
for the steam to come out?” asked Nurse
Jane. *
“I didn’t know it would burst,” said the
rabbit.
“Well, that's just what it did,” laugh
ed Nurse Jane. “The cabbage burst in tße
oven just as a roast chestnut bursts if
you don't make a hole in it for the steam
to come out. But never mind. You could
n’t help it, and I can make another cake.”
And Nurse Jane made the right kind of
a cabbage cake, after she wiped some of
the dough out of the bunny* whiskers. And
if the sugar cookie doesn’t scratch all the
chocolate off the apple pie when they go
to the moving pictures witji the piece of
