Germany's Story of Lieee.

Berlin, via Copenhagen and London, Aug. 1S.-9:05 D. m.-A series of statements on the Liege situation is published from the headquarters of General Stein, according to which French officers and perhaps also French soldiers were sent to Liege before the war to instruct the Bel gian troops in the defense of the forti- fications. 'It was impossible to pro test against this" says General Stein, hut after the war began this conduct had to be regarded as an infraction of Belgian neutrality by France.

BATTLE IS
 NOT BEGUN
LONDON STATES POSITIVELY THE BIG STRUGGLE IN BEL. GUM IS NOT UNDER WAY, AL. THOUGH NO AUTHORIZED RE PORT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.

London, Aug. 19.-1:55 a. m.-As far as the cordon of~ secrecy which the battling nations have drawn around the F'ranco-German frontiers will permit of guesswork, the great battle which promises to cast Mukden and Liaoyang into insignificance has not actually begun.
 Encounters which military his,o- rlans month from now may describe as "reconnoissances in force," are proceeding all along the border. They are heraldcd by both sides as battles and victories. In history most of them will rank as incidents.
 Liege remains the crux of the con. troversy. The German government las announced that the forts have Teen destroyed and that the defend CTS buried beneath their ruins. Tue French government declares the forts are holding out
 From Brusseis comes word that the German movement toward the center has been checked, while from the French embassy in London the state ment has been issued that the Ger mans have retired from the importan Alsatian outposts of Saarebourg.
 An ironclad veto of unauthorized intelligence from Belgium which the papers last night that the three allied armies had agreed upon, has been en- forced to the letter.
 Censorship of the British war of fees follows ciosely that enforced by the Japanese during their war against Russia with the exception of one unique detail. Field Marshal Kitch- ener communicated to the British press, for your information" details of what is officially termed the British expeditionary force,' with the understanding that the information shall be published only when the gov. ernment thinks it judicious.
 Two acutely certain factors remain to be weighed and determined. and until some real battle shall have given some light on them there will be no settled frame of mind in this country These are whether the French army is better than it was in 1870, and whether the Russian army is better than it was in the Japanese war. There is great confidence hero in the French general staff and great respect for the enterprise which the Frenchmen have developed in the decade in sports, particularly in avia- tion, and keen respect for the bravery and hot-headed dash of French blood.
 Whether the stolid endurance and enormous numbers of the Russian masses will enable them to hold their own against the traditionally superior brains of the German general staff IS another important question.
 So, as far as their own progress IS considered, the British feel deep satis' faction that the navy has proved sui ficiently equal to it's work to make it possible to land on the continent 8 large army before a naval battle has been fought with the same precision and lack of casualties as if it hao teen maneuvering instead of actua warfare and to clear the Atlantic SC that commerce can pursue it's peace ful way and food supplies can h' brought from the Scandinavian coun tries over the North sea.

SOUND SENSE.

MAN is so constituted that when
he feels the evils Of an existing sys-

reform which will produce evils as
great as those he is seeking to rem
edy," David Kinley president OF the
American Economic association, said
recently in an address before joint
session of his organization and the
American Sociological society.
"That danger" he continued, "eX-
lists now We need to look very close
ly at the tendency toward the extern
sion of the authority Of the govern
ment into the details of our economic
life. The principle of competition, the
system of economic liberalism, has
been too valuable 20 the progress OF
mankind to be given up altogether
For competition has been developing
force, even if it has failed somewhat
as a controlling one. The motive pow
or to action is of more Importance in
the long run than the regulation of ac-
ton.
aside from industries that are
clearly monopolistic by nature, the
whole aim of government in reference
should be to establish conditions
which will induce healthy competi-

NO NEED TO FAKE.

WHY should there be any taking IN

les are so numerous? asks the Mining
Record. The man who would deliber-

ing no indication Of mineral worth FOR
the purposes of stock selling cam
paign, instead Of an area upon when
the chances are admittedly good or
fair does not impress us as an exam
pie Of splendid wisdom. Such per-
sonage gives fresh point to the remark
Of the frishman, who, seeing bull on
a railroad track. observed that he lad
mir-ed the animals pluck. but be-
CORA, ne ptied his judgment"
There are hazards in all business;
let no one tell you otherwise. In
mining there are degrees of hazard,
which all experienced men recognize
and classify. The promoter who would
choose the worst hazard he could find
in the sphere of mining opportunities
with the expectation Of describing 1t
as sure thing" is not so much OF a
faker as he is fool. We think we
are. charitable with him when we
question his mental vigor.
In times like the present, most ex-

money In times Of great mining ex-
element good mineral acreage is held
at prices which would be prohibitive
under ordinary conditions, but the
prices are paid. During the last six

Our attention Is called, from time to
time, to mining chances that can be
had for a song. We know this is true.
How much wiser, even for the faker, II

that the man with the swindler's in

OUR OWN BUSINESS.
(oalt Lake Herald Republican,

(oalt Lake Herald Republican,
Americas attitude towards Amer
ica's merchant marine Is a purely do
nestle question. 1t concerns no other
nation on the face Of the earth which
is His footstool. When we guarantee
to every country the same fair use OF
the Panama canal that Is granted
every other country, further foreign
participation in canal affairs thereup-
on is automatically estopped. The
world wide protest" against exempt
ing American coastwise vessels from
paying tolls. which 80 excites and wor-
ries the president. thus becomes an
aggravated bit Of insolence that should
be answered as Grover Cleveland an
swered Great Britain in the Vene-
zuelan boundary dispute. Grover
Cleveland was a man.
Whether exemption Of our coastwise
marine from canal tolls was an eco
nomic mistake Is not germane to the
present contest. The issue has grown
far beyond all that. Uncle Sam faces
squarely the grave truth that in yield
ing to Great Britain, he is surrender
ing sovereignty Of the canal zone and
forever vacating his right to control a
great national asset. In time Of peace.
the promised superior advantage Of the
waterway is lost to u.s. in time Of war,
and war may come, the canal would
be actually a liability, since neutrali-
cation Of the canal zone Is the next
logical action to follow surrender on
tolls.
President Wilson doubtless will
have his way. His power as chief ex-
ecutive and his authority as party
chief render him almost irresistible,
especially to a congress which has
grown accustomed to obedience. And
when one adds to that mighty pres
sure the influence Of the millions the
Carnegie peace foundation is spend
ing to help the president. one is amaz-
ed that any legislator has the hardi-
hood to oppose.
