HINTED AT AID , .s.5.
FOR GERMANY

Berlin, Aug. 81 (by wireless to
Sayville) The German Gazette pub
fishes an official reply to the recent
statement by Sir Edward Grey, the
British secretary for foreign affairs,
with relation to the speech Of Chan
cellor Won Bethmann Hollweg. at the
opening of the last session of. the
Reichstag. The Overseas News
Agency today summarizes the reply
in the Gazette as follows:
AT the beginning the article al
ludes to the fact that Sir Edward
Grey automatically ignored the vail
liable material contained in reports
from Belgian ministers at various
European capitals prior to the war.
recently published in Germany. but
goes more exhaustively into the sub
ject Of threats against Belgian neu-
trality. The chancellor never said
that Belgium sold her neutrality to
England, but asserted that it has been

thus herself violating her neutrality.
THE article points out that the dis
cussion of all eventualittes by British
and Belgian military officers must
have been reported to the British cab
met. Documents found in Brussels, It
is asserted, show conclusively that a
British military attache coolly told his
Belgian colleague that Great Britain
would land troops in Belgium with
Belgium's consent and that Belgium
never had protested against this, hav-
ing decided not to resist British vio-
lation OF Belgian neutrality; but that
upon the mere supposition that a
German invasion was possible, the
Belgian government prepared COM
plete plans for cooperation with Brit
ish forces. Such country, 1t is de-
clared. is not neutral country.
"Other documents found, the reply
continues, show that the British
general staff received, reviewed. and
discussed important reports of at
tAches stationed at Brussels.
The chancellor, It. is, added, did
not endeavor so. bring tonight facta
that would Justify a.. violation of
Belgian neutrality In August, 1914,
and stated the reason in his reich
stag speech. declaring that German
troops invaded Belgium after the
latter had already broken her own
neutrality
'tBesides, It is added, that excite
ment over the morals of violation or
a 75-year-old treaty made for entirely
different purposes was ridiculous for

the comparatively few who ever get to

fairer to taxpayers and everyone con-

rate would do away with sentiment
which he said existed among some
students that they did the state ia

New York, April 2.-An explosion in the sawdust blower of big cigar box factory at Avenue c and East Seventeenth street yesterday set the building afire and sent nearly 200 men and women employees of the place down the fire escapes to safety. Five minutes after the alarm bells in the factory rang, the entire building, a four-story and basement structure. was a mass of flames. Half a dozen firemen, working on the roof, were rescued by companions working with extension ladders.
 Nicholas Althaus, manager of the factory. said all his employees had been accounted for. Several of the women employees fainted during the rush to get out and were assisted from the building by other women.

 London, March 31.-Eighteen ves- sells were sold out of the British navy last year, most of them going to the scrap heap. Among them were four capital ships, which cost nearly five million dollars apiece. and three sub- marines belonging to the 1903 naval program.
 The four big ships, dating from about twenty years ago. were the Im- perieuse, Royal Oak, Royal Sovereign and Families. The four, which cost S16, 6,400,0OO to build, were knocked down for total of $770,ooo.
 The boat that brought the best price, proportionately, was the. an cient Camel built in 1866. It orig inally cost s62,000 and was sold after nearly fifty years service, for 5000.
 The three submarines, which cost $20O,000 each, brought less than s2 = 900 apiece at auction, indicating that the submarine not only becomes obso- lete more rapidly than other craft but is also worth almost nothing conl- paratively, as old iron.
