ENGLAND At BOTTOM
Of WAR IN EUROPE
FORCED UPON GERMANY BY
JEALOUS POWER, WRITES
MRS. HIRSCHFTELD.

Writing from Dresden under date
of September 1s,~ to her son, George
C. Hirschfield, of Goa East Franklin
street, Mrs. William G. Hirschaeld de-
clares that Kaiser Wilhelm is the
most peace-loving man that ever lived
and that this war was forced upon
him by the hostile nations, but Eng
land Is at the bottom OF IL ALL
After writing that 1t is plain TO her
"that it Ia difficult to get authentic
news from your newspapers" Mrs.
Hirschf1eld continues:
THE Russians and French had al
ready passed the German borders be-
ilization At the same time. when
the Car was exchanging friendly
messages with the German Emperor
he had already ordered mobilization
in Russia.
The German Kaiser. true. upright
and honorable az he is could not at
tirst ina CINE that he was surrounded
by hypocrites. But when his eyes
were opened, he and his loyal Ger
mans got up to a man TO defend the
honor of German. The English
people are doing their best to incite
and set Americans against the Ger
mans by continually saying they had
to declare war against Germany be-
cause the Germans invaded Belgium,
and by doing so broke the laws OF
neutrality. But all that the English
people assert Is untrue.
when the German Emperor begged
to pass through Belgium. offering
compensation for any loss that Bel
GUM might suffer by the German
troops passing through that country.
he was refused that privilege, and so
as to keep the French enemy from
entering Germany he was obliged to
pass through Belgium. which he did
with friendly intentions toward the
Belgian people.
THAT the crazy Belgians began war
with Germany was their own fault
The English people have been look
ing for good excuse TO enter into war
with Germany for many years. They
are jealous Of the increase Of German
industry and traffic, and fear that
Germany might enee be the leading
nation of the world They want to
be the first. and, therefore, they want
to trample on all other nations"

PAY FOE RURAL CARRIERS.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Representa-
tive Byrnes Goday addressed the house
on the provisions of the postoffice ap-
preparation bill relating to cornpensa.
ton for rural carriers. Referring to a
statement which he had secured from
the Postmaster General he said that
while the bill ostensibly provided for
an increase OF salary for all carriers,
as matter of fact the salary of all tri-
weekly carriers would be reduced and
there would be great discrimination
in the increase Of salaries Of daily car
riers. Mr.. Byrnes asserted that under
the provisions Of the bill the increase
for a 23-mile route would be SIS per
year. for a 25-mile route $3.50 and
for 24-mile route only $50 per year.
He asked for an increase from s1,100
to $1,000 for the standard route, ad-
ding $40 for every mile above and
deducting $50 for every mile below.
The provision may be changed to
some extent TO meet Mr.. Byrnes'
criticisms.
