LX RE SPEECH
81 . EvERYB0DY5 OPINION.

Does Spiritualism believe in Purga-
tory?
lou state that the Bible as a whole
is far from Spiritualism. How do you
know?
Do you wish to discuss the propo
sition from a Biblical standpoint?
The meetings held at Fulton years
age were exposed and proven a fake
Was it Spiritualism?
So inconclusion I wish to declare
that l am class conscious Socialist
and l am fully aware Of the fact
THAT we have nothing to lose bu-
ignorance, and knowledge to gain
and by the proper system of applica
ton Of that knowledge emancipation
on earth then will be an established
fact.
Thanking you Mr.. Editor for your
fairness in this controversy.

JOFFRE REPORTS A
NEW DEFENSE LINE

Bordeaux. Sept. 5.-Following a con-
ference between the president and
Minister of War Miilerand in which
the latter presented the latest reports
from-the field, it was announced at the
war office that the situation was I'M
changed The allies are to the east of
Paris and are continuing their march
to the southeast
The German attack is plainly a con-
verging movement designed to split
the French British army in two. 1t
has been stated by war experts that
this movement cannot continues be-
cause of the extent to which the Ger
man lines have been drawn out. Cen
eral Joffre has reported that the new
line of defense in the north has been
attacked.
So far as the operations in Lorraine
are concerned the war office states
that they are being pushed with vary
ing fortunes. Because of the fact that
much of the fighting is taking place in
the Vosges, the battle front takes on
alternately siege and assault charac-
teristics. Upper Alsace has practically
been abandoned by the Germans, but
no attempt is now being made by the
French to re-occupy It,

GERMANS SWING
AROUND PARIS
Continued from First Page.)

pressing the French center hard along
line west of the Mouse in the ter
ritory between the Mouse river near
Stenay and Chalons- Sur Marine. 1t is
in this territory that the chief fight
ing took place today. The allied left
has not been active today so far as
the main column is concerned, the
fighting being confined to slSirmishing
between the German outposts and the
allied rear guard.
The activity in tho forts outside of
Paris was redoubled tonight. The
great searchlights on the forts and on
the Eiffel tower alternately swept the
skies searching for the German avia-
tors who may now be expected to at
tempt a night attack or across the
outlying territory to seek to locate
the advance of the enenlys shrmish-
ers. The armored trains on the narrow
gauge railroads which connect the
chain of forts, were manned and
ready. At every gun the men were
ready waiting the signal to act.
General Gallieni remained at his
headquarters. His aides, with their
high power automobiles, manned by
the most expert CnauIIeufS III the
world, the men who in peace times
handled racing cars in competition for
the richest prizes in the automobile
world, but who are now simply pawns
in the great war game, sped here and
there, carrying out his will. The gates
of the city were closed. None came or
went without a military pass and the
means of identity that showed the
right to go and come. The city itself
continued unchanged in most respects.
AS on every night since the original
declaration of martial law, the public
resorts Were closed very early. The
lights on the main houlevards are ex-
chiefly because they would /
prove advantageous in locating their
course to German aviators. 1t is con- /
ceded that there is grave danger of
an invasion of the skies not only by I
German aviators In their aeroplanes |
but also that the Zeppelins might be
drafted into service. At the outer forts I
the French aviators remained at their {
posts. They also have armored aero I
planes and the courses they were to
follow should the enemy come had I
been carefully laid out SO that their
machines could be distinguished from /
those of the Germans.

planned that the leading military au-
thorities originally had planned to give
out much fuller reports and that they
would have done so If the situation had
been similar to that at Mukden, during
the RussosJapanese war; where the
lengthy combats from position to po-
sitlon with occasional intervals of rest
made summary of events possible.
The present rush of the German
forces into France, it was explained.

ON PART OF BRITISH

New York, Sept 5.-The direct

British secretary of foreign affairs;-de-
ceived parliament when he announced
that war had been declared because
Germany had violated Belgian neu-
trality was made by Count Won Bern
storf, the German ambassador to the
United States tonight.

afternoon, The German government,
IN transmitting them, gave ]. R. Mac
Donald, the British labor leader and
member of parliament as sponsor for
the charge. No explanation, however.
was given as to where or when Mac
Donald made his charges.
The message as made public by the
ambassador was as follows:

having compelled parliament accent
English military obligations with
France Russia. Since ten years Eng

GOVERNMENT AT
BORDEAUX HEARS
FROM THE front
Vague Bulletin Is Issued
Telling of wide Turning
Movement" Made by the
German Army.

Bordeaux, Sept 5.-Because of the
enormous number of refugees who have
come to this city. the great university
building, now denuded of students and
faculty, who are all with the colors,
has been turned into temporary lodg-
ing places. Other noted public build
ings have been utilized for the same
purpose, by order of the minister of the
interior. The city is under martial law,
but there have been no disturbances of
any sort. The government has made
elaborate preparations to care for the
refugees and those who are destitute
are being fad and cared for at the pub
lie expense.
Minister of War Millerand is in con-
slant touch with General Joffre at
field headquarters and with General
Gallieni, military governor of Paris. No
information regarding the developments
in the field which deal with definite
locations or with the disposition of the
forces Is being made public. The Of
fetal bulletins refer in vague terms to
the "Wide turning movement" of the
Germans, who have left Paris on their
right, while marching in a southeast
whether this constitutes an effort to get
into an advantageous position to as
sail Paris through the territory to the
north and east, or whether it is gen.
eral movement to join the German
right wing and center.
AS a matter of fact, not single in
dividual in the temporary capital out
side of the general staff, the presi-
dent and the cabinet, know the dis
positions of the field armies. Minis
ter of War Millerand quotes General
Joffre as saying his forces are dis
posed along the lines as originally
planned. But whether this means that
at last an attempt is to be made to
assume the offensive in France proper'
or whether it means they are ready to
continue their retiring movement, no
one who knows will explain.

Tells OF THE RESCUE

LoDdon, Sept. 1.-THE correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph at Harwich
sends an amplified statement of the
rescue of German aviators by Brit
ish submarine while engaged on patrol
duty.
The subarine was steaming on the
surface, 80 miles off the German island
of Borkum, where it detected the aero
plane, drew alongside and took off two
men in an exhausted condition. The
bombs they carried were thrown over
board. After the rescue the submarine
rammed the aeroplane which sank.
The airmen it appears from this ac-
count were spying for British war
ships when the engine broke down.
They drifted about twenty hours be-
fore the submarine appeared and they
welcomed it with shouts of joy

DESTRUCTION OF
LOUVAIN BY THE
GERMANS UPHELD
Claimed at Berlin That the
Belgians Are Circulating
False Reports of the Oc-
currances There.

London, Sept 5.-A dispatch TO the
Wolff bureau from Berlin, by way
of Copenhagen, says that the Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung has pub
lished the following official statement;
Belgium is circulating officially a
false account of the occurrences for
which Louvain was compelled to suf-
fer. 1t is declared that German troops
we're repulsed by sortie from Ant
werp and were mistal1ingly fired upon
by our troops in Louvain, and that this
caused the burning of Louvain.
LAS matter of fact events proved
Individually that the Germans repulsed
the Belgian sortie. During this en-
gagement the Germans in Louvain
were attacked professionally in pur-
suance of an organized plan, in diff
ferent parts of the city. This hap
pened after the Germans had been in
pleasant relationship with the inhab-
itants of Louvain for more than "a
hours.
Germans Suffered Loss
This attack was first made on a
battalion of the landstrum, composed
principally of middle aged and peace
full men, themselves fathers of families.
Others attacked members of the staff
of the commanding general. The Ger
mans lost numbers of dead and wound
ed Nevertheless they gained the up
per hand with the help of newly ar
rived troops, who themselves were
greeted with rifle fire at the railroad
station.
An investigation is under way, the
result of which will be made public,
The truth of the statements made in
the foregoing is beyond all doubt The
Hotel De Vile was saved from fire.
Efforts to etXinguish the flames else
where were unavailing.p
Commenting on the occurrences in
Louvain. the Allgemeine Zeitung says:
German diplomats in the ducal
states have been furnished with ma
terial to refute these lying accusations
against the German army The German
minister at The Hague also has been
instructed to ask the Dutch govern
ment to urge the Belgian government,
in the interest of humanity, to stop the
civil population of Belgium from con-
tinuing a resistance which is so COM
pletely futile. The Dutch minister of
foreign affairs transmitted this request
TO the Belgian minister at The Hague.
