The speaker held that at bottom
there is nothing to be equalized but
personal expenditures, which. he said,
raised the question whether captains
of industry consume an undue share of
the products of the country, or whether
there would be more products for gen.

ownership.

neuvering for q position to outfiank
each other. The Germans had thrown
brigade after brigade in front OF the
allies, but these found adversaries
equal in force. The fianking operations
are rendered difficult owing. to the
proximity Of the sea. and the day pass

The great plateau near Lille and Ar

farther north the ground becomes
with excellent roads. The allied lead
ers appear to be satisfied with condi-
tions and ready to meet any offensive
move by the Germans
Some distance farther south, near
Roye, sharp artillery and infantry

along the battle line the opposing
forces today maintained their posi-

Determination Of Belgium to resist

greatest liberty to the forts covering
this position, the government has
moved to Ostend."
Minister Havenith said his dispatches
made no mention of King Albert, who
has been reported as fighting in the
trenches with his soldiers. The min
lister was inclined to think the king
of retiring to the new. seat Of govern
ment with the officials.
Plight of Kingdom Discussed.
The plight Of the. little kingdom
aroused great interest IN salfplcnattc
circles. The possibility that the Ger
mans would In the end drive the gov
ernment from Belgian territory, forc-
ing it to seek refuge in England, was
widely discussed. Both at the Belgian
legation and the British embassy, how
ever, it was said King Albert would
rule a loyal people even In the event
that every foot of his territory was
wrested from him, and he and his sub
jects made wanderers.
Minister Havenith, the Belgian min
lister. declared emphatically that Bel
gium never would make terms with
Germany before her allies, although
she is bound by no agreement and
merely defending herself against an
invader. He believed the city would
tive that the Belgian army would
fight to the last. no matter what the
location or circumstances of the ad-
ministrative and executive branches Of
the government.
Not Important to Campaign.
British officials called attention to
the reported massing of the English
fleet near Ostend and the Importance of
marine artillery as q defense of a sea-
coast town. They had received no
word, however, to confirm intimations
in Antwerp dispatches that British
troops and artillery are sharing in the
defense of the city.
Mr.. Havenith said the German activ-
ity in Belgium was not important to
the campaign as a whole. The Belgian
army had performed Its task at Liege
by retarding the German advance on
France, he said, and the real issue for
Belgium and her allies was to be sought
on the banks of the AiSne.

. PARIS, October 9.-Most of the let
: ters from soldiers at the front speak
Of the great battle that is expected for
the morrow that will decide the great
struggle along the Aisne and in the
north. which shows that they. as well
as the military critics. are baftied by
the immense operations OF which big

s Heavy fighting occurs every day
along some part of the battle line, the
Importance of which cannot be gath
cred from the sober details OF the Of

sible to assemble all of the simut-
taneous movements bearing on the gen.

Points of Hardest Fighting.
While points of the greatest interest
recently have been at the point of ell

Germans retreating movement on the
right bank of the. Meuse beyond Hat

position in the region Of St Mihiel-
1t is not considered possible that the
Germans can remain in this region.
and their retirement may entail
general retreat of the army operating
between the Meuse and the frontier.
The suggestion Is made in Paris this
morning that the Germans are holding
out with the idea Of taking Antwerp
first, and then retiring to line of
defense prepared in Belgium. as it IS
not possible for them to find reinforce

troops constantly coming to strengthen
