An attempt to rival the rapidity

The German general staff doubt

of impetuous generalship leading the
French into a trap OF their own
making. 1t was largely this same
impetuosity, perhaps dictated by
strategic considerations. that led to
the German Marine disaster. With
so recent an example before them.
any rash enterprise by the French
at this moment would be ineXcuS-

realizes this.

Denounce Burning of Louvain.

''Louvain, the center of the intel
lectuaI life of Pelgium, with its
treasures of science and art and its
magnificent library. has been laid in
ashes. This is crime not only
