Both Sides OF The Contest
THE ALLIES VIEW
by Alfred W. Bryce

The present war has long been
foreseen by those in a position to
watch the intricate maneuvers of the
royal houses of Europe, and is not
the direct result of the ill-advised as
sassination of Arch-Duke Ferdinand
AS early as 1912, Belgium was in
fear of an invasion by German forces
and the wonderful defense put up
by the Belgian army at the out
break of this war was due in part 70
the preparations and precautions taken
long ago by the young king, Albert.
This later tragedy in Servia was a
pretext eagerly seized upon, but any
other incident might have done as
well. This war is the direct outcome
of the spirit of reaction which follow
ed the ascendancy of brutal militarism.
During the past five or six wears
the aggressive insolence of the mill
tary casts in Germany has grown
beyond bounds, and their perilo is
spirit has gained the ascendancy il
Berlin. Among the immediate en-
tourage of the Kaiser materialism and
militarism have prevailed; and this
time its overthrow was not checked az
the borderland. What will remain Of
Belgium, her industries and her COM
merce, when the German hordes ha,-
passed, laying waste and plunderilg
whole territories? Were the Germans
to continue their depredations for
short while longer, all Belgium would
be desert.
Peace for Europe, on an honest
and equitable basis, will probably be
delayed until the greatest progressive
nations of the world, with Germany
and England in the van, join hands
for progress and peace. But to bring
this about there must be great changes
in the ideals, spirit and policy of
some of the great European nations
Militarism is the greatest menace. and
it must be abandoned, as must the
policy of progress by the sword.
Germany, as the leading military ma
ton, would be looked toward for the
lead in establishing this yeace. Eng
land has resolved, according to re-
ports, that there shall be an end 20
Prussian military power, and those two
countries can hardly join hands until
the sword and cannon have been put
away. Why is Germany alone talk
ing about the Slav peril? Are Eng
land and France less quick to see the
danger? With England and Germany
leading other progressive powers in
a movement for universal peace, it
is thought the Slav will become pro-
gressive, too, and reaching out his
hand, Join the others.

UNITED STATES
OF EUROPE"

Petrograd, Sept. 23.-An authorized
spokesman of the Russian government
IN an interview with a correspondent
here, declared today that it might lie
desirable after the cessation of this
war to follow the emperor's plans for
world peace, as expressed in the call
ing OF The Hague conference by estab-
fishing the United States of Europe
which organization should have the
power to control ornaments.
There was no indication, however, Ill
the speakers words that there was any
near chance of peace.
There is an immutable determination
the Russian government spokesman
said, that the present allies maintain
their alliance and after peace is re-
stored, should agree upon such terms
that would prevent Germany from ever
again becoming an arsenal of explos-
ives, threatening European civilization.
Emperor Nicholas, always promine-t
IN peace movements, is in favor, his
spokesman said, of the United States
of Europe" plan. If the powers, in
conference, could formulate a regula-
ton of ornaments, Russia could spare
millions annually for education, eco
nomic organization, roadmaking, the
development of her agriculture, and
SO on. The emperor's representative
concluded:
There are elements in the immed!-
ate situation which press strongly to-
ward considerable continuation Of
the war"

THE GERMAN VIEW
(By Hugo Won Kleist.)

trian armies in Galicia have a de-
cided bearing upon the German war
plan. The advance of the Russian
multitudes toward the German
frontier cannot be seriously hampered
by the crippled troops of that coun-
try Austria has been a broken reed
upon which German plans were laid,
and if the Fatherland is to be saved,
Germans must do it. German patti
otism must repel the invaders who
would capture Berlin. That city is
the objective point of the vast Rus
sian army, not the subjugation of Aus
tria. The military situation in Aus
tria will receive no attention from
the hosts of the Car, other than the
occupation and holding of such ter
ritory as adjoins the German Empira.
The entire strength of the Russian
army will be used in the ION to Ber-
lin" movement. This peril was rec
ognized by the German general stat
with the news of the victory at Lem
burg. The strategy of the present cou-
fiict is being pursued on a tremendous
scale. The sudden swerving of the
German right has been a matter of
speculation, and of some surprise; TO-,
1t looked like the breaking down of
the German war machine. But as they
retreat, the Germans are giving stolt
resistance to the advance of the al
lied troops, showing they were by
no means demoralized army. The
rational judgment would seem that
the plan to capture Paris was aban-
doned, not because of superior forces
of the allies, but because persistence
in the offensive campaign might ter
inmate fatally to German interests
elsewhere. The security of Berlin was
of greater importance than the cap
ture of Paris, and the failure of the
Austrian army to hold the Russian ad
vance fenaced that city so dear 20
the Germans.
England has accepted" the sery-
ives of many Indian troops in her
present rouble against Germany. Con-
sidering the position of the people of
Hindusthan toward England, is it not
more correctly stated with England
has called" ond her Indian troops.
The loyalty of India to Great Britain
is one of the deepest of the thousand
lies that the English print nowadays.
India now lies in the dust, with the
oppressors' heels upon her neck-In-
ola, once one of the most enlightened
and richest countries of the world.
Those few whom the people of Greay
Britain have succeeded in bribing to
aid her in her present campaign, dc
not represent Hindusthan. The I'M
fortunate people of India have always
regarded the Germans as their friends,
with great understanding and sympa
thy for their present condition of bond
age toward the English throne II

losophy, ethics and civilization Of India
are better appreciated than ELSEWHERE.
Why, then, should the active services

TO MENDONITES

Some time ago the Kidmans chal-
lenged the pick Of Mendon for a
game of baseball on account Of the
various boasts humors which were
In the air In Mendon at that time.
The challenge was not issued in
bulldog spirit as some Of the chick
en- hearted Mendonites suffered and
we further wish to remind the public
at large and particularly the Mendon
ball team manager that the challenge
was not accepted in the least de-
gree. The teams of the challenge
were plain and simple namely, that
the game be played OH the b. Y. cam
pus for 500 side and all or more
of the gate receipts. The Mendon
manager sent the statement to press
that he had given the Kidman mana
ger six days to consider the propo.
sition and probably wanted more.
Now this is absolutely, false. AL
that we the Kidmans ask is truth

Port of Vera Cruz
Is Ordered Closed

Rotterdam, Aug. S1-Survivors OF
the sacking of Louvain who came to
the Office of the International News
Service here today all tell the sane
story OF the calculated terrorism OF
the German troops directed against
the entire population, evidently as a
part of their molitary tactics.
The threats they made were not
often carried out, however, except in
extreme cases. When the inhabitants
were known to have firearms in their
houses the German soldiers invaria-
bly, applied their noses to the muz
zle of the gun or revolver to detect
by the smell whether the firearm bad
been recently used If the test show
ed that such was the case, it vas
assumed that the weapon had been
used against the invaders and the
owner was Immediately taken out
to the public square, where lunches
OF them were publicly shot.
The punishment was made as pub
lie as possible as warning. These
summary executions caused the wild
est panic among the population who.
believed that general massacre was
. progressing.
Men not found with weapons we're
put through system of mental tor
ment, which none can ever forget.
They were separated from their fam.
| lilies and compelled to walk through
the streets with their hands in the
! air. They were locked up all hight
In railroad stations or barracks with
out food or water and told that they
I would be shot in the morning. Priests
| were allowed to go to them to take
| their confessions during the nighS
1 and in the morning, still without
food, they were again herded through
the streets with their hands up at the
! point of a bayonet.
One survivor told the correspondent
of the International News Service
that when they were led to the public
square they were told they were
about to be executed but could take
their choice as to whether they were
to be blindfolded and shot facing the
firing squad or II they preferred they
might sit over a trench with theip
back to the firing squad.
After hundreds OF inhabitants had
suffered all the agony Of death they
were told that the German commau4
er had spared their lives and that
the Germans never inflicted death on
innocent noncombatants. but for ev.
cry German shot in the streets there
after at least ten citizens would be
executed. They had better see to 1t,
there fore, that their fellow citizens
obeyed the German orders.
Women were in many cases herded
into cars and packed off to some
other place, apparently for no other
purpose than to break up their fam
lilies and to spread universal terror.
Individual soldiers behaved WITH
gross brutality to the women in many
cases.

During the Huerta regime Vera
Cruz was similarly closed, but for

the order. Carranza's dscree would

Carranza administration. might hes
itate to send cargoes to Vera Cruz d.
minishing the food supply OF the city.
:, In some quarters there was dis
position to regard CarranzI attitude
as one of resentment against the
continued occupancy OF Vera Cruz
by American troops, but state de-

view. An interruption in railway
