song and story, is relic OF the past,
according to officials OF this branch Of
the government.
This fact. which undoubtedly Will

government claims their services for
the Italian army.

Rome. via Oct 15-Alleged docu-

scribed English Intervention in Bel
gium.' which are said to have been
found by German military authorities
in Brussels. are causing comment in
German newspapers, some of which
were received here today.
The Krutz Zietung says the docu-
ments show that long ago it was decid :
ed in case of war that Belgium should
side with France and England.
The Deutsche Tages Zeitung declares
it hopes now that the neutral states
will cease to speak of the brutal vio-
lation of poor, innocent little Belgium"
The documents show says the Eos
sische Zeitung, "the duplicity of Eng
land and her Indifference at planning
a violation Of Holland. They also
showed the wisdom Of Baro Greint, the
Belgian minister to Berlin, who had
right opinion about trusting English
protection. His prediction was realized.
Belgium bleeds from. thousand
wounds and the indignation of British
statesmen over the sanctity of treaty
is mere hypocricy."

Mr.. Cooper pointed out that it was
necessary to develop systems of distri-

less loss and waste and asserted that
this is problem of organization and
cooperation.
Estimates indicate that the average

Concerning the Anglo Belgian mill

formal denial has been issued by Eng

neutral country concluded a military
agreement with England, which provid :
ed for landing OF British troops in this
single neutral coSntry.
England instigated Belgium to go to
war and when the time came to protect
the unfortunate little country it was
left to its own resources. Germany. on
the other hand. who had heard of Bel
GUMS agreement with England at the
beginning of this war. offered to pro-

for all her losses. Germany would re
