could pass to the North Sea through
the canal and the Elbe, steam to the
English Channel, sink the vast fleet of
transports that are carrying men and
supplies to the English army in Bel
GUM, and harry the whole English
and French coasts.
Hence, in seeking to bring the Ger
man feet to action, it would be neces-
sary for England to leave half her fleet
at the mouth of the Elbe and send the
other half around Denmark into the
Baltic. This would mean that, so far
as her dreadnaught strength is con-
cerned, Germany could elect to fight
either fleet under equal conditions.
The only other way to get at the
Germans would be to reduce the coast
Notifications with an expeditionary
army. But the German coast on the
North Sea is so shoal that the landing
of such a force from transports is out
of the question. There remains only
one way in which it could be attempt
ed.
If England followed Germany's exam
pie by violating the neutrality of Hol-
land, OF should Holland enter the Tri-
pie Alliance, Amsterdam would form
an excellent basis for an expedition for
the reduction of the Wilhelmshavea
and Cuxhaven Notifications. This
would open the way for the seizure Of
the North Sea end of the Kiel Canal.
Should Russia continue her successful
invasion of Prussia, she might, in time,
though at an enormous sacrifice, cap
ture Danzig, Stettin, and, with the aid
of the English, even Kiel itself. That
would seal the doom of the German
fleet.
Can it be done? The facto of time
and cost are against it.

GERMAN TROOPS IN ROLE OF BUTCHERS
MURDERED WOMEN And CHILDREN

London, Sept. 16.-The official press
bureau, acting for the Belgian legation
in London, has made public the second
report of the Belgian commission ap-
pointed to inquire into alleged Ger
man atrocities at Louvain and in the
district around Malines.
This report reviews incidents here
tofore generally reported, but it adds
the documents and evidence on which
its conclusions rest. 1t will be pub
lished in due course.
The commission finds that on enter
ing Louvain the Germans requisitioned
food and lodging. German troops took
possession of the cash in all the Lou
vain banks, burst open houses and pill
LACED and committed other excuses.
The report then relates with consid-
cradle detail two alleged instances in
which women were outraged by Ger
man soldiers and asserts that there
have been instances where women AMI
children have been stabbed with bayo-
nets and their legs cut off. One case IS
cited where a workman, covered with
kerosene, was thrown into a burning
house

ing Emperor William.

Bordeaux, Sept. 16.-Georges Glenn
enceau, formerly French premier, re-
plies in the Homme dLibre to state
ment credited to Andrew Carnegie that
Europe owes forty years of peace to
Emperor William.
Let the worthy Scottish millionaire
say what he pleases," says NJ. Glen
enceau, "the forty years of peace was
punctuated by incessant quarrels and
five threats of war, and crowned by a.
war, fact for which l defy Mr.. Car
negie to find any cause other than
desire to end French independence in
order, afterwards to finish Great Brit
ain and Russia. At the very moment
when Mr. Carnegie was speaking,
gently opposing the protests of Ameri-
cans, the King of England had written
the King of Belgium a vehement letter
denouncing the crime of German
aviator who dropped a bomb on the
royal residence at Antwerp, where the
queen and her children were staying.
Does Mr.. Carnegie believe William
lis explanations can change attested
facts?"

mans began bombarding the town, pre-
tending that civilians had fired on
their troops, suggestion denied by
all witnesses"
To spread the fire in Louvain the
report charges, Germans entered
houses and threw hand grenades. The
commission contends that from several
places in Belgium the male population
has been sent to Germany and forced
to work at harvesting as if they were
slaves.

tradition.

LTdulIlOu'
OF enormous advantage to Germany
is the fact that the geography of the
naval and military situation is such
that she is planted squarely between
her major enemies, France and Russia,
and so long as she is supreme in the
Baltic it is impossible for those coun-
tries to effect joint concentration of
their troops in overwhelming numbers
upon either frontier.
And Germany, be it remembered, has
all the advantage of fighting on inter
ior lines. Because of her admirable
system of military railroads, many of
them built with a view to just such Il
crisis as that which now confconts her,
she can move her reserves quickly to
either frontier and mass them at any
point for attack or defense.
Hopes to Crush France.
With the war a month old, Austria
is yet to be heard from, except in the
role of the defeated; and already 1t
begins to look as though Germany will
have to depend upon her own strong
arm to overthrow the mighty fleets
and armies of the allies. Judged in
point of mere numbers, the odds are
to / against her on land and 1-2 to /
on the sea.
Furthermore, if as she hopes and
firmly believes, she can succeed in
crushing the French armies in sue
cession of conclusive engagements, her
possession of the interior lines would
enable her to move portion Of the
flower of her army, which is now con
fronting France, to the eastern from
tier for the repulse of the Russian in
vasion.
In the event of German reverses and
1t failure of her invasion of France,
she would fall back upon her line Of
frontier Notifications, take up strong
defensive position, and hurl the bulk
of her armies against the on-rolling
tide of Russian invasion, which, at the
present writing, appears to have gain
ed victory of imposing proportions.
If this should he the course of events,
the Germans would settle down to Il
, war of defense, which might last for
two or three years, and end in the
contestants fighting each other to the
point of utter exhaustion. There is NO
reason to believe that the German Of
the twentieth century has lost any of
the powers of recuperation and doggrd
resistance which carried him through
the seven years Of war under the great
Frederick.
No less upon the sea than upon the
lands is Germany favored by geo
graphical conditions.
Allied Fleets Superior.

France have superiority, based on

But the history of war, whether an
Gent medieval or modern, teaches US
that superiority in numbers is merely
one among many important factors
that win battles and make it ultimate
ly possible to dictate terms to a thor
oughly beaten enemy. Proof of this is
to be found in that brilliant page OF
German history covered by the seven
years war, when Prussia, under her
marvellous soldier king, Frederick the
Great, waged successful war against
a combination of enemies, as strong,
relatively, if not stronger, than that
which confronts the German people in
the present crisis.
Germans Outnumbered.
The seemingly overwhelming num-
bers of the Triple Entente are greatly
offset by the fact that Germany holds
an unusually strong strategic position,
both on sea and land, and that where
as her armies are of a common race
speaking a common language, the en-
envy is composed of three races, speak
ing no language in common, and differ
ing widely in tastes, temperament AMI

total tonnage, of over three to one ov-
er that of Germany and Austria, and a
superiority in the first fighting line Of
dreadnaughts, of two to one. If to
France is delegated the task of de-
stroying the Austrian feet in the Adri-
attic, the English feet in the North Sea
has twice as many dreadnaughts as
that of Germany, or 81 to 16; of de-
stroyers she has 1877 to 1870, and of sub
marines, 76 to 81. Under these condi-
lions it would be hopeless for Germany
to accept battle in the open. Ship for
ship, the English dreadnaughts are
more powerfully armed, and in sea-
manship and gunnery they are at least
the equal of their opponents.
Hence, the Germans have either re-
tired behind the heavy coast fortifca-
tons of their North Sea ports and har-
bors, or, as is more likely, they have
taken shelter in the Baltic. The British
admiral has orders to seek and destroy
the German feet But how shall this
be done? Wilhelmshaven and the
mouth of the Elbe are thoroughly pro-
tected by coast Notifications and mines
that consists of heavy, long-range
guns, and motars whose shells would
fall with great accuracy over the
course which would have to be covered
by feet that steamed in to a range at
which its fire would be effective. The
Japanese attack on the inferior Port
Arthur defense proved the futility of a
naval attack upon such Notifications
as those at Wilhelmshaven, Heligoland
and Cuxhaven.
British Shut Out of Baltic.
Equally disastrous would it be for
the English fleet to venture through
the narrow straits which must be pass
ed in entering the Baltic. These would
be heavily mined, and in their confined
waters 'the feet would lose heavily al
SO from destroyer and submarine at
tack
Another and most important strate-
gical advantage in the German situa-
ton is the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal.
which affords quick passage for the
largest battleships from the Baltic 10
the North Sea. This canal practically
cuts the British fighting line in half.
It was built for this very purpose.

way into the Baltic, the German feet
