Why It Happened

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-An off cia. explanation of the Belgian field army's backward movement toward Antwerp is given tonight in the fol- lowing cablegram from London, made public by the British embassy:
 The Belgian field army, based on Antwerp, is falling back in that direc- tion in order to cover its communica- tion with that fortress. In anticipa- ton that this might become necessary, the seat of government had already

been transferred from Brussels to Ant werp. AS Brussels is an undefended city and no longer the seat of govern ment, the fact that the Germans have occupied it is not of great importance. Moreover, the present position of the Belgian field army is menace to the right flank of any further German ad- vance westward"

Admitted at Paris

PARIS, Aug 20.-German cavalry has occupied Brussels. This official announcement was made today. A strong colmun of cavalry and artillery is following up this movement. The Belgian army is retiring on Antwerp without being engaged by the Ger mans
 The official statement adds: Our troops met with brilliant successes in Alsace especially between Muelhausen and Altkirch. The Germans retreating on the Rhine left in our hands many prisoners, twenty-four guns, six of which were captured by our infantry after sharp struggle"
 Tn Lorraine the day was less for tunate for us. Our advanced troops found themselves faced by exception ally strong positions. They were back in body, which is solidly estab- lished on Seille along the canal from the Marne to the Rhine"

Emperor's Pious Address


 LONDON, August 20.-A Marconi wireless from Berlin tells of the Ger man emperor's farewell address to the first regiment of foot guards They had assembled, the kaiser said, to pray that the Germans arms be blessed so that they would be able to keep flying the flag of the Fath eriand over the envy of it's enemies, even if this entailed sacrificing the last drop of German blood.
 The sword which was allowed to remain in it's sheath decade after decade, which he now draws, must decide. He declared that it would not be sheathed again without vic- tory or honor. This war found the nation trusting in Almighty God, re- membering the glorious days of the old commander of the regiment. He renewed the oath of loyalty, and pro- claimed the regiments unquenchable thirst for victory.

Lopez Trapped

Especial to The Republican,
 FLORENCE, Ariz, Aug. 20.-In a report received at the office of the sheriff of Pinal county, Ed Shipp, a deputy, says he is pursuing Antonio Lopez, the only surviving member of the Wood Cutters Gang now in Pinal Mountains. Four Indian trailers ac- company Deputy Shipp, and according to late adviceS, the bandit, together with a companion, thought to be M. H. Cacillas of Miami, has been brought to bay in the hills about half way be- tween Ray and Superior.
 Tying in Conspiracy
 Undersheriff Mckinney gave out the following message from Cacillas to Smith-which was taken out of the mails at Miami yesterday and forward : ed to Florence

 M. H. CACILLAS, On tip from Phoenix, Updersheriff Mckinney has ordered a search to be made of the Gibson shaft. an abandoned mine a few miles up Devils canyon from the camp of the wood-cutters, for the arms and munitions of war, thought to have been concealed there by the Pinal division of the Mexican< conspi- rators.
 The letter of Cacillas, while not def mite in any particular suggests the ex- istence of some sort of a conspiracy which needed three more men for its consummation. Smith is well known to the officers as one of the toughest characters in the county. He is known to have been in sympathy with the agi- tators among the Mexican miners thrown out of work by the shutting down of parts of the Ray mine.

the support of the House Democrats

sells of war. especially in the last two
years. has effected recognition of the
more ingenious uses of science in small
but powerful engines of offense and

supplement of the Dreadnought and
heavy cruiser.
At the same time, the larger appro-

of the United States. While there has

The New Naval Bill,

A naval program essentially new COM
pared with the Democratic Party's pre-
vious record is provided in the bill
which Chairman Padgett, of the House
Naval Affairs Committee, is to report
to the House. Nor is the larger ap-
preparation proposed in the bill
though in popular judgment it might
be regarded as notably out of harmony
with the rigid economy preached by
some and the universal peace doctrine
preached by other Democrats-its most
significant feature. The biil's impor-
tance, in its permanent influences upon
the United States naval policy, is its
laying down of plans of more modern
effect than those of the past.
The two-battleship provision which
has been the central idea of preceding
programs for years past is contained
in the bill, but it is not SO dominant
a component. Besides the two battle
ships there are to be eight submarines,
with one torpcdo-boat destroyer. The

Busy Lawyers Labor Of Love.

In this issue of The Washington
Herald appears the final article of the
series on "The Nations Relations With
Its Capital City" written exclusively
for this newspaper by Henry B. F.
Macfarland, who was president of the
Board of District Commissioners from
1000 to 1910. These seven articles con-
stitute complete, though concise his
tory of the founding of the Nations
Capital and its progress to the present
day, showing in detail its financial re-
lations with the Federal government
and pointing out clearly the reasons
therefor.
No feature ever published in daily
newspaper in Washington has attracted
more attention than the articles of Mr..
Macfarland, recognized as the very
highest authority on the subject. They
have been commented on in terms of
praise by hundreds of The Herald's
readers. Any one interested in the
growth of the Capital who failed to
read them has missed an opportunity to
thoroughly equip himself to intelligently
discuss with members of Congress a
subject of vital Importance to the in
terests of Washington, the preserva-
tion of which depends solely upon our
national legislators,
The Washington Herald recognizes
that Mr.. Macfarland has performed
service of inestinable value to the peo-
pie of the District of Columbia, and in
expressing its appreciation wishes its
readers to know that his great work
was purely a labor of love" for his
client without fee"-the National Capt.
tai Just as Mr.. Macfarland freely
gave his services in making his splendid
legal argument in behalf of Washington
before Senate committee, so did he
decline compensation for his articles,
though the time required for their
preparation necessarily had to be taken
from busy law practice.

Benton Shot in the Dark,

Where is the body of William S
Benton, the British subject, who wa,
put to death by Mexican rebels il
Juarezs Dispatches from FL Paso sa,
the request of the State Department al
Washington for the 'handing over Of
the remains of Villas victim of a week
ago has met only with silence"
Is the corpse of the man who left
FL Paso in the morning and was thrust
secretly into his CORY bed before night
10 be denied to the woman who was
widowed by Villa the day before she
sent her frantic appeal to the British
Ambassador in Washington to save her
husband? Did the bullets of the firing
squad" enter Benton's back?
Six months ago President Wilson
took Congress and the people into his
confidence regarding the familiar Mex
ican "crisis." There have been some
changes in the situation since. Huerta's
enemies have been armed; murder and
robbery have fourished, unpunished.
The crisis has advanced stage, for to-
day Englishmen are listening with
Americans for the verdict of the gov
ernment of the United States, which
shall be pronounced as the result of its
inquest into that sickening tragedy in
a border town. 1t would seem that
there should be enough of fact in the
preliminary report of the United States
consul at Juarez to satisfy for the
moment the public demand for know
ledge as to the manner in which Ben
toms life was taken.
If it was not murder. why not tell
the people so? Silence begets suspicion
in this case.
If it was not murder why does Villa
defy or ignore the request of the
United States government for the
corpse, that the widow may give it
honorable burial?
If it was not murder why did not
Villas executioners wait for the sun
rise" of martial tradition; why was
Benton shot in the dark of night? For
it was announced in Washington yester-
day that Benton was mot shot until
nearly eighteen hours after his alleged
assault on Gen. Villa" And Villas own
version fixed the hour of the assault"
at 10 O'Clock in the morning.
The answers must come from our
consul at Juarez and the British consul
at Galveston, Tex, who will be sent
to Juarez to investigate, the United
States having been asked for assurance
that he will not be interferred with.
England thus furnishes convincing evil
dence of her earnest determination TO
unearth the truth.
When that has been done, change
in our Mexican policy will not come as
a surprise, for it is inconceivable that
President Wilson will fail to meet the |
he has assumed.
