Political GOSSIP

Mayor George Ellis of Grand Rapids
struck an unpopular chord when he
criticized Governor Ferris for sending
the troops to the copper country last
year, and his statement provoked the
ire of the greater portion of his audi
ence at HoughtOn Saturday evening.
Immediately after he made the declar-
alton, n voice from the audience asked
If the speaker had anything to do with
the Western Federation of Miners. He
replied that he did not, not personally.
"Then you have no right to criticize
Ferris for sending the troops" came
from the auditor. This was followed
by three rousing cheers for Governor
Ferris and James MacNaughton.
Mayor Ellis was introduced by r
II. Shields, Republican county chair
man. Mr.. Shields explained that az
chairman, he was pleased to Introduce
to the voters any man who may seek
the Republican nomination for any Of
flee. Basing his hope for election
on the labor vote, Mayor Ellis made
his plea directly to the working men
declaring that he had been elected Ia
the mayoralty of Grand Rapids five
tines by the labor vote.

free for the transportation of German troops for active preparation in the war.
 The battle of Liege appears to have been stubbornly fought and the Ger man losses were considerable. The delay will derange their plans and deprive them of some at least of the advantages they hoped to gain by choosing this forbidden route for de- livering their first blow against France. Their obvious purpose was to flank the powerful line of French defenses facing their own frontier. But the French long ago foresaw the probability that in the event of war Germany would not respect Belgian neutrality, and they have erected de- fensive works right across that path of approach which would have given the Germans a good deal of trouble in their march towards Paris. France has now had time to make ready for the assault in that quarter, which is certain to come should Germany per sist, for it is not to be supposed that Belgium can withstand the immense masses of troops that Germany can throw against her small army.-Ex.

FRIDAY, AUGUST q, 1914.
PROWESS OF THE sELGlANS.

It is in perfect keeping with the nature of this amazing war that the first serious battle should have been fought upon the soil of a neutral state between the forces of one of the bel ligerents and the troops of that state, which is not merely neutral in this war but is permanently neutralized by a treaty of the powers. The un- expectedly formidable opposition of the Belgians to the passage of a German army corps across their ter ritory has won for them the admira- tion of the world. Naturally the Bel
 gians have never been thought of as fighting folk. In this case it was necessary for them to fight, not mere ly to protect themselves, but in per formance of their international obli- 'gations. It is a settled principle of the law of nations that a neutral state must not submit it's territory to be used by either belligerant as a base of operations against the other. The Belgians were bound to use force, their utmost force, to resist the Ger man invasion. Had they failed in that duty they might have been called upon to pay an indemnity to France after the war. The principle is the same as the use of English ports for the fitting out of Confederate cruisers during our civil war. After the battle of Sedan the victorious Germans asked permission to send home their wounded over Belgian railways. Belgium, after consulting England, denied the request, since to have granted it would have left the railway from Nancy to the frontier
