In his daily English column, her
man Rider proprietor Of the Ne"
Yorker Staats-Zeitung, today says;
II have had occasion from time 10

present war. In this connection
wish to present a few facts Wnica
bear close relation, one to the othe1'
and which have a considerable Dear
ing upon the situation ,..,
"The course of European pohtlcs
ran it's more or less troubled way un-
til the year 1912 The peace OF Eu-
rope appeared to be guaranteed py
the balance of power between the
Triple Alliance and the Triple En-
tente.
"During the year 1912 an under
standing was reached between Franco
and Russia and preparations We're pc
gun for the war against Germany ana
Austria. At that time the Russian
standing army on peace lootiii7 was
approximately $4,000.
I'm 1912 the reserves of the proceed
ing year. instead of being discharged,
were ordered to remain with the col
ors. thereby increasing the standing
army TO 100000 This partial mobili-
cation was aimed particularly against
Austria. When the documents and
| letters which were exchanged during
the last three years between France
| and Russia become public properly,
| there will be ample evidence to show

upon a prearranged plan in order TO
| be prepared to strike the blow when
they considered the time was right.
Vast year two important develop
ments in this connection stand out
prominently. The one, the visit of
| General Joffre, now the commander

that time the head of the general
staff, to ST Petersburg for the pur-
pose of completing arrangements with
the Russian general staff for COM

st. Petersburg. De,casse arranged a
French loan for the purpose OF de-
veloping the strategic Russian rail-
way and military facilities and for
increasing the Russian army by four
army corps, bringing its total strength
to forty-one corps. of which thirty
three could be used in Europe.

II do not mean by that that Ger
many would attack you or that if you
we're attacked you would need to fear
the result SO far as the United States
was concerned The Monroe doctrine,
however, carries you very far in
South as we'll as North America, and
it is likely that victorious German
militarism which would then have
shattered France, irretrievably have
conquered Belgium and have broken
forever the power of England would
allow itself to be permanently cut off
from all hopes of that oversee ex-
pansion and development with. which
South America alone can supply 1t.
Now the impact is on us. Our
blood which flows in your veins should
lead you to expect that we shall fight
stubbornly to bear that impact. But
II we go down and are swept in ruin
into the past you are the next in line.
This war is for us a war of honor
of respect for obligations into which
we have entered and of loyalty to-
ward friends in desperate need. But
now that it has begun it has become
war of self-preservation. The Brit
ish democracy with its limited mon
archy, its ancient parliaments, its ar
dent social and philanthropic parties,

Secret Diplomacy, Which

Must Go, Says Newspaper
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-The Daily
News, in an editorial denouncing Sc
eret diplomacy. says
Can Europe ever again tolerate
the appalling peril of secret diplo-
macy? Can we ever again play about
on the deck with sails and compasscs,
making our little laws and imagine
that we are self governing while down
in the hold of our ship of state there
is a powder magazine the very exist
ence of which we are not permitted
TO know2
Secret diplomacy belongs to the
traditions of autocratic and personal
government: it has no place in d
democratic world. and the example of
the United States must become the
model of the civilized world on this
vital matter If Europe is to be fres
from menace in the future"

Wounded Soldier Tells of Five
Day Hell" in the
Trenches.


LONDON, Aug. 29.-The Chronicles
Boulogne correspondent sends the
personal story of a wounded soldier
who has arrived there and who de-
ciared he was one of thirty sur
vivors of a British force Of 1000
troops who were practically wiped
out by the German artillery. His
story follows:
I'VE were five solid days in the
trenches and moved backward and
forward all that time with the vary
ing tide Of battle
"It was about two o'clock in the
morning when the end came. Things
had got quieter and our officers came
along the line and told US to get some
sleep, we were preparing to obey
when a light or something else gave
US away and we found ourselves in
an inferno Of bullets.
I'VE could do nothing Down upon
us the shrapnel hailed and we fell by
the score. Practically at the same
time the enemy's Maxims opened fire
We were almost without shelter when
we were caught and we crawled along
in front to find cover.
Leave everything and retire was
the order, and we did what we could
to obey. l don't know how long It
lasted, but when dawn came / could
see not more than thirty men left in
the various sections of the field
Thirty, at the most, were left out OF
about 1000.
Il wandered away from the others,
and eventually found myself at
- with single companion. That
was the first time the German artil-
| lery really got at us. As rule
their gunfre was mighty poor"
In the above story the censor has
deleteJ the name Of the town near
which this fighting occurred.

Population of Malines
Cut from 10000 to 200
by Death and Flight

LONDON. Aug. ga dispatch to
the Daily News from Rotterdam says
that out of $4,000 inhabitants of Ma
lines only 200 are now left in the
town. Refugees state that many were
killed by the bombardment and prac-
tically all of the rest fed.
The Germans are bringing up heavy
siege guns of new pattern for use
against Antwerp. These guns have
also been used at Malines.
The Germans have ordered all able
bodied Belgians in Liege and Tongres
and in the vicinity to proceed at once
TO Germany to assist in harvesting.
The news of this order is likely to
swell greatly the number of Belgian
refugees in southern Holland.

an energetic protest to st. Petersburg
In an unofficial manner, objecting to
these warlike preparations on the part
of Russia.
Public opinion in Germany was
aroused and the German government
decided upon the extraordinary meas
ures of national defense which caused
so much comment in the press few
months ago.
In this connection a few words
about the military situation along
the Russian frontier. The advance
OF the Russian army into East Prus-
STA shows how well prepared. at least
according to Russian standards, the
Russians were for the war against
Germany. Her troops were already
concentrated on her frontier on a war
footing prepared for determined adj
vance against the German fortresses.
This advance, however, has been
greatly overestimated by the reports
printed during the last few days.
Anybody who is versed in the geo.
graphical positions of eastern and
western Prussia must realize that it
is very difficult to hold these two
provinces against superior Russian
forces. Their borders stretch far into
Russia and are flanked by Russian
Poland. The fortifications on the ex-
IRENE eastern frontier of Germany
are of a provincial character and
were hurriedly erected at the breaking
out of hostilities. Their purpose was
solely to protect the mobilization or
the German army against Russian
cavalry raids. They have fully served
that purpose.
"At the present time with the Rus
sian armies. advancing, the German
border troops are slowly retreating,
making the progress of the enemy as
difficult as possible It is, of course,
disagreeable for the German govern
ment to leave precious part of the
German soil temporarily in the hands
of the enemy and to expose 1T to the
rack and ruin of the invading army.
However, military exigencies abso-
lutely demand the evacuation of these
provinces

Russia had planned z general mo-

and concentrate its troops on the
German and Austrian frontiers. The
diplomatic situation in view of the
isolating of Germany and Austria was
so much in favor of the Franco Rus

OF the United Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The lines of
the allied armies are holding in the
enemy on the hundred-mile gap from
Maubeuge to Verdune. There is no
indication that a retreat has been
made back to the lie Fre-Rheims' S
permanent defenses-and the hillside.
The lull in the fighting officially
suggested from Paris and the inti
nation from London that there have
been no serious assaults since
wednesday seem to indicate the pres
ence of too much optimism in Ger
many's statement that the enemy had
been surrounded.
Many military authorities have held
the theoretical opinion that in a de-
vastating conflict such as a pam
European war there would have to be
an interval of at least a month be-
tween two great battles. to permit
both sides to recover from their ex-
haustion. Germany, however, cannot
wait a month along the French
frontier without suffering a strategic
disaster.
Whether the Germans can force the
pace under the weakening conditions
of modern warfare is vital question
for them. They have not carried the
allies off their feet by the initial rush.
The next important phase rests
largely on which side can recover the
quicker from the first shock.
