of the Chinese empire and the princi-
pie of equal opportunities for the COM
merce and industry of all nations in
China. This paragraph does not seem
to warrant the ousting of any nation
for the fact, principally that it is ma
tion at war great distance, and does
not disturb the commerce of the Far
East, and particularly Of Japan. In
stead of throwing the fire brand of war
into the far east, Japan should be fair
and submit any grievances she has
against Germany or against any other
nation to the Hague tribunal, where no
doubt other questions of the present
conflict will be submitted. This would
assure equal opportunity to all ma
tions of which the quoted paragraph
of the Anglo-Japanese treaty speaks
Accordingly China would have a voice
in the matter.
Respectfully submitted in behalf of

ance.

SAILS FOR FRANCE
ON GERMAN CRAFT
Clifford Crump of Greens.
fork, Not Heard From
Since-Parents Uneasy.

Sailing for France on German
steamship leaving port two days be-
fore war was declared between the
two countries, is the fate of Clifford
Crump, son of DR.. G. F. Crump, of
Greensboro, as learned through letter
received by the young mans parents.
Mr.. Crump, who has been teaching
in South America, left the port in
South America on German Lloyd
steamship bound for a port in France,
just two days before the war was
declared on France by Germany. Moth
ing more has been heard from the boat,
according to the information received
by the family of the young man. The
letter, which was sent from Bahia, Bra
zil, merely gave the date of the boats
sailing and the destination. The letter
was just received by DR.. Crump, the
young mans father, who was not
aware that he had sailed.
The anxiety of the family is increas-
ed because the boat is bound for hos
tile port. A cablegram was sent to the
officers of the North German Lloyd
steamship company this morning ask
ing information concerning the present
location of the boat. The, family is
anxiously awaiting a reply to the Ca
blegram. 1t is not known what port
in France the boat was bound for. The
family fears that the boat has been
captured by the French and is being
held as a war prize.
Mr.. Crump is graduate of Earlham
college and has been engaged in teach
ing astronomy in South America for
the last eighteen months. He had in
tended visiting France to study. He
then intended to make short tour of
Europe. -..

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1s-A dis
patch was received at the White
House from the German alliance urg-
ing the United States to protect GER
tain factions in the Far East.
The telegram to the White House
was signed by Dr. c. J. Haxamer and
relates a number of reasons why the
United States should take hand in
the present situation including the fact
that the American trade in the Far
East must be protected.
President Wilson will decline to take
any action along the line indicated.
He contends that the United States
shall remain absolutely neutral.
The text of the telegram was:
'sThe National German Alliance
stands on record as favoring universal
peace. AS American citizens of Ger
man birth and extraction, we deplore
the awful conflict in Europe, hoping
for speedy and honorable pact and
that this war may lead to the end of
all war and the beginning of world
wide peace. We thank the President
of the United States for his good Of
fees to the warning nations, and we
now appeal to the president and to citi-
zens to plead with the government of
Japan through her ambassador in
Washington, in the name of humanity,
civilization and universal peace, to re-
frain carrying the war into the Far
East, by demanding that Germany
abandon all her commercial and politi-
cal interests in China.
''The first paragraph of the pream-
BILE of the Anglo-Japanese pact states
that it is one of the purposes of the
treaty to preserve the common inter
ests of all the powers in China by in
citing the independence and interritory

ROuSQly speaking the DdCtl0 line
now extends from a point near Diest
direction to a point near Dinant.
The right wing of the German army
seems to be engaged in a great en-
veloping movement to cut off the
Belgium army from the main body of
it's French allies. Fighting Is report
ed at Gembloux, 25 miles southeast Of
Brussels, II miles northwest of Ma
mur, and 1S miles from the historic
field of Waterloo.
A heavy force from the German
right wing is reported to be march
ing directly upon Brussels in a
straight line from Huy. There is a
railway line from Huy to Brussels,
passing through Jqdoigne which has
already been the scene of sharp fight
ing Huy lies on the Meuse, 16 miles
east of Namur Jodoigne is 25 miles
southeast of Brussels, and % miles
north of Huy.
Strategy Of Germans.
Operations of the German forces
near Diest are regarded as a strategic
movement to divert the attention of
the Belgian forces around Louvain,
while heavy force of German cavalry
could swing to the west and north to
get between the main army of the
Belgians, and their French allies
southwest of Namur.
Fighting is also reported from the
vicinity of Melvert, where, on Sunday,
a Belgian regiment fought for four
hours, against the Eighteenth German
hussar. The steady advance of the
Germans and the preparations for bat
tie around the capital cause the con-
tinued announcements of Belgium VIC
tories to be taken with reserve.
Preparations are being made for
the defence of this city against the
Germans. The forts are being
strengthened and troops and artillery
are being massed in the path of the
invading host.
A big force Of the enemy is reported
from a point near Wavre, only Is
miles from Brussels and there are
strong indications that the meadows
around Waterloo will see for a second
time world-shattering conflagration
of war.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 18.-Out
of the war catastrophe which has over.
whelmed Europe will come political
freedom for the Russian Jews, auton-
omy for Poland and the electoral fran
chise for a great mass of the Russian
people, according to proclamation OF
reforms which the Russian ministry
has evolved with the sanction of Car
Nicholas II.
There is every indication that the
reforms will be sweeping if Russia and
her allies win the war and the bound
aries of the Muscovite empire are ex-
tended as a result.
1t is said that Gear Nicholas will Is
sue an important proclamation at Mos
cow telling the consecutive plans OF
the government to extend the civil and
political liberties of the people.
The Russian ministers evidently feel
that the extension of liberty to the
Jews would not only inspire the people
of Russia to higher loyalty, but would
increase the prestige of Russia abroad.
The present conflict has been adver-
tised SO extensively as struggle OF
the Slavs versus the civilization of
Western Europe that the statemen of
the empire feel it imperative to gain
some OF the outside worlds sympathy.

JEWS DOUBT SINCERITY.

CHICAGO, Aug. 18.-Following is .
translation of an editorial which will
appear in the Jewish Daily Press this
evening relative to a London di0D4tch
that the Car of Russia will sign a
proclamation at an early date giving
the,sJews of his dominions equal civil
and political rights with his other sub
jects:
do we believe it? OF course not.
Every Jew who knows only too well
the policy of the Romanoff officers and
of the tyrannical government realizes
that such a thing as the emancipation
of the Russian Jew is next to imposs1-
BILE in Russia as long as the Romanoff
officers are in absolute power.
with regard to the exchange cable
one must think it strange that such
important news does not come direct
from St. Petersburg, but by way OF
Paris where all the pro-Russian and
anti-German wire reports are at pres
ent manufactured.
mo we cannot believe the report on
the face of it. And if it were true that
the Car intends to grant Jews their
civic rights we never could be induced
to believe his sincerity"

WHAT WAR COSTS
EUROPE DAILY

PARIS, Aug. 18.-The military
expert Of the Matin, discussing the
war from the French viewpoint,
says:
mo war in history will have de-
voured such huge sums of money
as the present one. Military writ
ers agree that about S,5O0,000 men
are under arE.s and to these must
be added 100000 seamen, making
a grand total Of $4,000 of sea and
land.
IF the Balkan war can be taken
as an example, the cost of each
man modified amounts to $3.50 a
day, which shows tha the Euro
peGn war is costing about 22,1v0,-
900 a day, not counting the destruc-
uon OF property"
