asserting and maintaining that great
principle, which, after all. is the we'll
spring Of civilization and progress, has
fallen at the most critical moment in
the past on states of relatively small
area and population, but of great cour-
age and resource. Never. l venture to
say has this duty been more clearly
and bravely acknowledged, never more
courageously and heroIcally discharged
than during the last few weeks by the
Belgian king and the Belgian people.
They have faced without flinching
and against almost incalculable ODDS
the horrors of invasion, devastation,
spoliation and outrage. They have
stubbornly withstood and successfully
arrested the thrush, wave after wave,
of a gigantic and overwh Ginning force.

theme of one of the most Inspiring

honor. We are with them heart and

defending at the same time two great

states and the sanctity of international
obligations. :.

of this united kingdom and the whole
empire that they can count to the end
on our whole-hearted and unfailing
support"

LEAVES HOME TO
Be A MINISTER

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 2S.-
Determined to earn money for him.
self so that he could go away to school
and study for the ministry, Otto Hart,
aged Is years, son of a prominent
farmer living four and one-half miles
southwest of Thompson, this county,
has disappeared.
Hart left home last Sunday even
ing to go to church, but he has not
been seen since. He was accompanied
to town by his brother, and was last
seen at the postoffice at 7:45 p. m. He
never put in an appearance at the
church.
1t was feared for a time that the
young man might have wandered off,
or that he might have been the vic
tim of foul play. He had never show
ed signs of mental weakness, howev-
er, and no trace has been found OF
him. He had made the remark often
that he wanted to get out and earn
money enough to study to become a
minister.
The young mans father offered him
a team to go out threshing so that he
might earn money for himself, but
the proposition didn't apepal to the
lad. According to al reports. Hart
was very steady young man and did
not drink or dissipate in any manner.
The last train that stopped there
went through Thompson at 1870
o'clock Sunday evening, and he could
not have left town in that manner.

u. S. NAY PROTEST
| ALL BARBARITIES

Washington, Aug. 28.--As the lone
great world power strictly neutral in
the present war, the United States
faces a peculiar situation and deli
cate duty as the recipient of protests
from the various warning nations re-
garding alleged cruelties. barbarities,
atrocities and violations of The Hague
conventions and international law.
President Wilson and Secretary Bry-
an, according to authoritative informa-
tion. feel this responsibility keenly.
They are 10th to act however, until
formal protests are in such shape that
a general appeal to all countries in
volved to adhere strictly to recognized
war practices can be made. Reluct-
ance seemingly to takes sides" by ap-
parently chiding and particular power
quette is another factor.
Charges and counter charges Of Ger
mans, Belgians, French and British
form conflicting maze to be carefully
considered by this government. While
the warning powers are accusing eacn
other Of violations of military and in
ternational law, such as slaughter OF
noncombatants, use by Germans of
Zeppelin bomb -throwers and planting
of floating mines, endangering neutral
shipping, only a few formal protests
have officially reached this govern
ment. These protests are to be made
to all the world powers not at war, but
officials here believe action devoives
largely upon the United States.

GERMAN DYES

Washington, Aug 2S.--Every effort
will be made by the United States gev-
ernment to reopen the way for impor-
tation of German dyes and chemicals
the lack of which threatens to throw a
million American textile workers out
of their jobs. Representative Metz OF
New York told Secretary Bryan yes
terday that without these imported
colors the government would be un-
able to print its stamps and currency
as the acid-proof products of the
German plants could not be reproduced
in this country.

said the orders had been carried out
and the crew had left.
The American government however
took cognizance only of Austria's noti-
f1cation of her intention to join the
Germans in defense of Using Tau, and
the proclamation of neutrality follow
ed. In Ambassador Dumba's telegram
to the American government he made
no mention of any declaration of war
but said diplomatic relations between
the two countries had been severed
Toxic dispatches described the situa-
ton as a rupture of diplomatic rela-
tons, but the ordersf Emperor Francis
Joseph to the Kaiserin Elizabeth, was
regarded by state department officials
as itself an act of war. Officials point
ed out that although neither Belgium
nor Germany had ever declared war a

Kaiser Has Renounced
All His British Titles

London. Aug. 2S.-That the German
emperor renounced his British titles
when the rupture of the nations oc-
CURED, is confirmed in the official ac-
count of the final dealings of the Brit
ish ambassador, Sir William Edward
Goschen, with the German govern
ment, published last night. High trib-
ute is paid the American ambassador
at Berlin, James w. Gerard.
The morning after war wss declar-
ed the emperor's aide brought to the
British ambassador this message:
"The emperor has charged me to ex-
press to your excellency his regret for
the occurrences of last night, but to
tell you at the same time that you will
gather from these occurrences an idea
of the feelings Of his people respecting
the action Of Great Britain in Joining
with other nations against her old al
lies of Waterloo.
His majesty also begs that you will
tell the king that he has been proud
of the titles of British field marshal
and British admiral. but that in con-

sequence of what has occurred, he
must now at once divest himself of
those titles"
The regret expressed was over the
mobbing of the British embassy.
Referring to Ambassador Gerard,
the British ambassador reports:
IT should also like to mention the
great assistance rendered to us all by
my American colleagues, Mr.. Gerard
and his staff. Undeterred by the hoot-
ing and kissing with which he was
often greeted by the mob on entering
and leaving the embassy, his exceIlen-
cy came repeatedly to see me to ask
how he could help us and to make ar
rangements for the safety Of stranded
British subjects. 80.
HE extricated many of these from
extremely difficult situations at some
personal risk to himself. His calmness
and savoir faire and his firmness in
dealing with the imperial authorities
gave full assurance that the protec-
ton of British subjects and interests
could not have been left in more eff
cient and able hands"

No War Declared Between
Austria and Japan But
a State Of War Exists

President Wilson issued a proclama-
ton of neutrality, recognizing that "a
state of war unhappily exists between
Japan and Austria Hungary"
1t is similar to other proclamations
previously issued.
The issuance of the presidents
proclamation Of neutrality as between
Japan and Austria followed an unusual
sequence of events, during which, so
far as officials here are aware, neither
country actually declared war.
A "state of war was recognized by
the United States existing however,
because Ambassador Dumbs. of Aus
tria notified the state department. that
the emperor of Austria Hungary had
instructed the cruiser Kaiserin Eliza
beth to join the Germans, in defense of

Wandered Forty Days.

Duluth. Aug. 2S.--After being lost in
the northern Minnesota woods for
forty days and nights, Hans Hanson,
aged 80, Of Port Arthur, was found
on the shore of Eastwood lake, twen-
ty-five miles from Winton, Mimi, yes
terday. He had no shoes and his
clothes were in tatters.
Hanson left Duluth July IA, penni-
less, determined to walk to Port Ar
thur, where. he has friends. He was
told of an old Indian trail that he
could follow from Robinson, MINI.
All the time he was lost Hanson did
not meet a human being. For five days
he says, he walked in a circle. Each
night he would find himself near the
place from whence he had started in
the morning.
Acquaintances in Duluth verified his
story last night, saying that he started
his trip July il, and had not been
heard of since.

THE French wounded arriving here

which their wounds are dressed and
the state of the wounds prove that
the surgical service at the front
works splendid in good order.
"A great number of German wound
ed are arriving here. They receive
exactly the same care and attention
as the French wounded. it seems
certain that the German method of
dressing wounds is not so good as the
French method, because most Of their
wounds are infected"
