Belgium Asks That United States Intervene.

An appeal for active intervention by the United States to stop the depredation of workingmen into Germany was presented to the state department by E. Havenith, the Belgian minister, Thursday. The Belgians, Mr. Havenith said, are practically being forced to fight against their own country, contrary to the laws of nations and humanity. The American government has already interested itself in this situation and Charge Grew, of the embassy at Berlin, has been instructed to discuss it personally with Chancellor von Bethmann.
