telligsnce Of her operations.
This nay have been god Military
tactics, but il proves 70 have ben
bad national policy. For falss and
exaggerated reports tending 10 de-
credit the Fatherland there have ben
no means Of correction. The Kaiser
has placed his country in ths position
Of defying the worlds opinion, just
as il is defying the armies Of Europe.
The Kaiser himself is nov reported
as amazed at American criticism,
and generous hearted Germans here
and everywhere have been wounded
BY sweeping condemnation.
II must be recognized, however,
that this hostile sentiment cannot be
founded altogether on false reports.
There are facts thrusting through the
news too big for concealment or per-
version, and those facts make it i'm
possible for America as . whole to
show any enthusiasm for Germany in
this struggle. The belated attempts
Of the Kaiser at self justification
and the heated declarations Of Prof.
Muensterburg and other German-Am-
orleans that Germany was not the
aggressor are not convincing. Am
erica, though linked to the Father
land by strong ties of blood, Of in
stinctise sympathy and Of admira-
ton for her intellectual and indust-
rial leadership, is sorrowfully forced
to recognize that Germany was pn-
marily responsible for precipitating
this monstrous war when she might
have kept peace in Europe, and that
she recklessly widened its scope when
she might have localized il.
But in this conviction there Is no
arraignment Of the German people.
American criticism is leveled at the
War Lord who, pretending to love
peace. plunged his sword into the
heart Of civilization, and by single
autocratic order. without even the
consent Of the German parliament,
signed the death warrant Of, it may
be, a million Of his own subjects and
another million Of aliens with whom
those subjects had no quarrel.
For the German race, thus lightly
made a target for the bullets Of o
continent and the hatred Of the
world, the American people today
have nothing but sympathy. When
the Hohenzollerns have passed away
with their noise and fury, and the
brave, generous and sane German
people have a government that rep
resents their real purposes and as
pirations. there will be no question
Of the friendship, collective and in
dividual. Of the great American ma
ton for the great German nation"

From Deming and the Mimbres
Valley the conversation drifted to
the much discussed topic Of the war
in Europe and Mr.. Howard, who is
thoroughly posted on the subject,
having been q newsgatherer on the
continents for years, made the fol-
lowing remarks:
Throughout the United States
Germans and German sympathizers
have been complaining bitterly be-
cause Of what they term the unfair
ness Of American newspapers. 1t
need hardly be explained to any one
person familiar with the gathering
and printing Of news that such crit
icism is itself unfair. II the war re-
ports printed here appear to be un-
friendly in spirit to Germany and
Austria, or II the facts seem to be
distorted to serve the purposes of
racial or national prejudice, that is
neither the fault Of the press nor
Of the great news-gathering agency
upon which it relies.
The one thing that every American
newspaper publisher wants to get
hold Of and print at all times, and
particularly in time Of war, is THE
TRUTH. And il there is any offense
to German Americans or other parti-
sans in the presentation Of the war
news it is either because the facts
themselves are disagreeable or be-
cause the news is contaminated at
its sources-over which American
journalism has little control.
Nothing is harder to get at than
real truth in war time. II is especi-
ally hard when the only news ae-
cessible is under the control and cen
sorship Of the nations involved. Since
this war broke out nearly all the re-
ports have come from England.
France, or Belgium and have natur-
ally been colored by the inflamed
patriotism Of those countries and by
their hatred Of Germany. The As
ISOLATED Press, the United Press and
other agencies have tried in vain to
get the other side Of the saory. From

After an absence Of some months
Brother Land was with us again on
Sunday and for some time at least
will be here the third Sunday in each
month. In spite Of hay fever, Bro.
Land was at his best. His text in
the morning was, "The Seeking Sa-
vior," in the evening, "1e Cannot be
Hidden" In the evening Miss Mary
Kent sang "A Clean Heart" in a
sweet, beautiful voice which carried
away her listners. After the morning
service, Bro. Land was the guest of
Mr.. and Miss wykoff. His hearty
laugh and imperturable good nature
make him a welcome guest at all
times. His stock VI anecdotes and
amusing sayings are unlimited. In
speaking Of the mysteries Of Nature
he asked: "Can We tell why red
COW eating green grass, gives white
milk which makes yellow butteri"
Other guests at the wykoff home
were the Misses Kent and Phillips,
Mrs. Danse and Mr.. Phillips.
The dance at the school house on
Friday evening was very enjoyable.

The alleged route of the German
seventh army corps Is not confirmed
In its entirety however says the Ga
zette which. adds:
These are the facts. The Bel
gums eleven brigades after success
fully resisting German attacks per-
sued the fleeing men with such en-
eTgy that tho general commanding
the Bclgians was Obliged to order
our'troops to turn back as theywere
getting outside tlelrangeio OF the guns
of the Belgian forts. Thelenthusiasm
of our troops was magnificent.
"a number OF wounded Germans
fled to Dutch territory and this gave
rise to the belief that the enemy had
been completely routed. They suffer-
ed however considerable losses which
are estimated ut 900. Our losses
were relativelyssmall.
"At four O'Clock in the morning
the Germans army corps attacked
Chaud Fon 'ssaine and Boneelies forts
from the south east while artillery
bombardcd the forts ut Flemalle on
tho opposite bank of the river Meusl
south west Of LeigeA The BeIgIansS
captured seven guns and several, ,ptis-
oners.
%The proposal for gthessurrender of
these have been a game firmly re-
fused"
BRUSSELS, Via London. Aug. e.
Stories of llegbattle yesterday In the
vicinity of Llege tell Of terrific
slaughter among German forces.
At about noon yesterday the Ger
man infantry attempted TO carry by
assault Fort Bercion to the north
cast of Greece. The attackers were
sent upiunder cover Of a heavy artil-
lery fire but the Belgium defenders
preserved their fire until the. Ger
mans had come to close quarters.
when at a given signal the Belgians
opened with perfect hail Of bullets
from rifles and machine guns which
wrecked havoc among Germans. The
attackers soon lay In heaps Of dead
and wounded around ithefort.
At the same time fort Ghaudfan-
taine to the south east Of Ifese kept
up a hot fire on another body Of Ger
mans who had seized a neighboring
castle. The Belgian artillery reduc-
ed the village to a mass or smoking
ruins. The Germans finally retired
all along the line. One paper says
the German losses amounted to be-
tween 1000 and 5000 men while
they abandoned ~ machine guns.
A squadron at 1gium lanciers. ac-
cording to another report was COM
pletely wiped out after IL had killed
$50 German Uhlans.
