England has been jealous Of Ger

demanded Of Japan that II enter the

IF England would do it. she would
be glad TO embroil the United State

naturally, they are against the Kaiser
There is something interesting
about the way the whole world prac-

There is but one answer. They arc

"Nor has more rabid creature than

In his telegram TO President Wilson
Mr.. Charles writes:

OF German birth and descent with red

tinuous provocations of which this is a
fragrant instance, We are not aggres-

FRENCH EULOCIzE
HEROIC BELCIANS
Fervent Thanks Given for
Support That Enabled
France to Prepare.

London, Aug. 24-In a Reuter- dis
patch from Paris the following from
lie Bulletin des Armees," the new Of
fetal journal circulated among the
troops at the front. is quoted:
Sunday, Aug. 23.-The twenty-sec-
ond day of mobilization. II we had
been told three weeks ago on the first
Sunday Of the war, when France was
awaiting the decision of London and
might still have been in doubt wheth-
err she would see at her side the feet
and army of Great Britain, that TWEEN
ty-two days later she would have been
able to conclude all Of her prepare
tions. and that on almost her whole
front the national territory would be
inviolate. who would have unreserved-
ly believed it?
ave know the price At which the
present situation has been bought. We
know who are the real authors of the
present position. Our troops have done
their duty, but the heroic Belgian ma
ton has done more than the duty 1T
owed to itself and TO US TO defend her
neutrality.
1--WE expected loyalty and valisnce,
but it exceeded all our expectations.
Belgium. by her stubborn resistance,
permitted our mobilization and the
concentration and landing of our allies
and the Systematic organization OF
war in common.
at was the entire Belgian nation
which, by giving its blood and territory
and capital, made it so that Liege and
Antwerp should be synonymous in his
tory with Thermopylae and Marathon.
Brother Belgians, sixty-three years ago
we brought you independence. You now
pay your debt a hundredfold Never
throughout the centuries will our sons
feel for you enough gratitude and
love"

London. who reached here tonight
from Ostend.
He said he had been informed by
refugees from Brussels that the Ger
mans had $4,000 men garrisoned there,
but that the main army was now push
ing through Belgium via Courtrai in a
dash toward Lille. Mr.. Mackenzie said
that on Friday some money from the
Belgian National Bank reached Ostend
and forthwith was placed on a boat
and brought to England. Il had been
taken out Of Brussels under heavy
guard before the Germans reached
there.
Speaking Of conditions at Ostend.
Mr.. Mackenzie said:
"Proclamations are conspicuous
everywhere in Ostend advising people
TO be calm in view of the coming Ger
man invasion and TO give no provoca-
ton to the enemy. IL ia fully believed
that the Germans intend taking Ostend
because OF the wireless station there.
and for the same reason the Germans
are expected TO try TO get Lapanne and
Newport because of the powerful wire
less stations at those places. But they
will be cheated if the Belgisns carry
out their plans, for they have prepared
TO blow up the stations at each place,
and automobiles are being held in
readiness to carry the operating STATS
to Dunkirk.
"The bathing houses at Ostend are
being used TO provide living quarters
for refugees, and, except for few for
eigners, the population is all Belgian.
