Charges Allies
With Being First
to Ignore Neutrality

Washington. Oct. 13Count Won
Bernstorff German ambassador today
issued statement, together with tel
egram from Berlin, announcing the
finding In the archives OF the Belgian
general staff at Brussels of documents
which it was claimed by Berlin shows
that details of the plan for landing
an expeditionary force In Belgium had
been provided for long before the war.
The statement follows:
THE German ambassador drew spe-
cial attention today to the telegram
which came from German headquar-
ters. This telegram proved the Ger
man contention that the allies did not
intend to respect Belgian neutrality 1t
proved. moreover. that Belgian neu-
trality did not exist and that Belgium
was conspiring against Germany. Not
standing denials coming from French
sources. 1t is fact that French pris-
oners were taken at Liege and at
Namur who acknowledged that they
had been IA these fortresses before the
German troops entered Belgium.
Germany has violated The frontier
Of no really neutral country whilst the
allies are on record for disregarding
all obligations toward China.

said. Poor credit facilitier and high
interest rate depresses agricultural In

themselves on their hard -headedness
believe the only good basis for credit
is property or collateral. Something
must be done to enable the small farm

Report Notes "PeresptibIe Progress"

London, Oct. 13.-That dispositions
are now being made by both the Ger
mars and the French and British for
a big battle between Lens and Cassel,
on the westward wings of the op-
posing hosts, is deduced here from
fragmentary information disseminated
by the intelligence department of the
belligerent powers.
cassel is eighteen miles inland from
the fortified seaport Of Dunkirk, on the
straits OF Dovss.
The claiming of decisive victories
has dropped out Of fashion since they
so often ave proved untrue or greatly
exaggerated, and since it has become
recognized that the possibility of bril-
liant coups and surprises by enter
prising commanders has been largely
eliminated by the scouting Of aviators.

"A submarine of the enemy launched
several torpedoes, which luckily missed
the mark and caused no damage what
soever to the cruiser.
"On Oct. II. at = o'clock in the aft
ernoon, the submarines of the enemy
again attacked our cruisers Bayan

upriainn panaeraua


London. Oct 13.--The rebellion of q
section OF the Dutch element in South
Africa. which broke today with sud
denness. Is the first warning note that
has marred the harmony N the British
empire since the outbreak of the war
and it has momentarily diverted atten-
tion from the arenas near the heart of
the empire.
That this rising was real and danger
Gus was sufficiently proved by officia
dispa tcres from Governor General
Buxton to the imperial government
and by the drastic step Gen. Louis
Botha and his colleagues have taken
to stamp it out by the imposition Of
martial law In the whole union of
South Africa.
Directly Accuses Germans.
The proclamation of martial law Iii i.
rectIy charged the widespread secret
propaganda of the Germans with being
responsible for the seduction of this
command. which was one of the four
armies sent in the field when the un-
ion government undertook to relieve
the home government of the task Of
dealing with the German colonies Ii
Africa.
Bothas government that others be-
sides those under the immediate COM
mand of Colonel Maritz may have been
affected. hence the inclusion of the
whole dominion in the order establish :
ing martial law.
Dutch to Remain Loyal.
GermaniZing factors are said by
British authorities to have been at
work for years in the frontier districts
and to have even percolated into
southwestern Transvaal and other
Dutch districts.
Telegrams from Cape Town declare.
however. that a majority of the Dutch
remain absolutely loyal and this seems
to be shown by resolutions drawn up
at an emergency meeting of the South
African party summoned Immediately
after the news of the rebellion had
leaked out. The meeting. which was
composed entirely of Dutch-speakinG
Afrikanders. condemned the conduct Of
Colonel Martz in the strongest terms.
A telegram was sent to Betha iinre-
servedly offering the services of the
Cape Dutch in any capacity desired.
The Ouch paper Ons Land, published
at Cape Town, Indignantly denounces
what 1t terms the treacherous conduct
Of Marltz and calls on the Dutch Of
south Africa loyally to stand at the
back of the government. The union
governments action Is bound to bring
matters to head and 20 disclose the
true attitude of the Dutch population
which 1t Is declared is overwhelmingly
Iowa, to the British empire.

WAR MAY INVOLVE HOLLAND.
Diplomats Question Right Of Kaiser to
Move Army on River Scheldt.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Whether Ger
many will try to use the River Scheldt
for military purposes with the newly
captured port OF Antwerp as a. base OF
operations against ENGLAND is regarded
in diplomatic circles here as an import
ant feature of the situation in Europe.
1t is the opinion of diplomats here
who are friendly to the cause of the
allies that the use Of the mouth Of the
Scheldt for military Purposes by the
Germans would constitute a violation
OF the neutrality Of the Netherlands.
and that the British government would
consider that a warlike act in the same
category As the violation Of Belgian
neutralitysby the Germans.
Holland Lacks Treaty.
Belgian neutrality was guaranteed
by a particular treaty so far as the
principal European powers were con :
cerned. There is no such treaty guar
anteeinS the neutrality of Holland and
while Holland has no special status like
Belgium IN this respect Holland as an
independent state is bound by the ele-
mentary principle OF the law Of ma
ticns, that a neutral state is bound tc
refuse to grant right Of passage to a
belligerent.
f5elSlum mas lHe TISnl 10 use tLc
mouth Of the Scheldt for purposes o.
commerce, that right having been
granted by the treaty Of 1886, by which
the nations of England, France, Aus
tria. Prussia and Russia guaranteed
definitely the independence Of Belgium.
May Not Use For War.
1t is thought that Germany as the
temporary successor Of Belgium in
possession. of Antwerp. would have the
same right to the commercial use OF
the Scheldt, but the statement is made
by diplomat here that this would not
accord Germany the right to use; the
lower or Holland reaches Of the Schcldt
in violation Of the Holland neutrality
for belligefent purposes.
