 The Germans have moved forward on the Alsatian flank of the Vosges mountains. A lone German aeroplane dropped bombs on several of the east coast towns with only slight damage.
 The loss of almost an entire corps during the recent retreat from East Prussia is admitted by the Russian staff. Unofficial reports from Petro- grad say that the main Russian army has escaped from the German trap and has taken the offensive. It is re- ported in Rome that the Pope has again approached the Kaiser in the hope of preparing the way for peace

By Associated Press.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-The wasp of modern warfare, the submarine, with which Germany declared she would blockade the British Isles, daily be- comes a more important factor in in fuencing the policies of the nations engaged on the contraband question, vital to the neutrals.
 Almost co-incident with the unoffi- cial reports that Austria proposes to follow the example of Germany by making war on merchant ships in the Adriatic, came Premier Asquith's an nouncement in the house of commons that the much discussed retaliatory plan of Great Britain is much broader than previously suggested. Although still tentative, he said it was matter for consideration by all the allies, and that a joint note concerning it might be expected from the allies.
 
 The statement also was made in the house of commons that the British govefnment might deem it necessary to alter its decision, chasing cotton as not a contraband. Z

Counsel for the Swedish company said he was au- thorized by the Swedish minister to say the copper was urgently needed in Sweden--to fill government con tracts. He asked for an undertaking by the British government that the copper would not be used before a settlement was reached. The attorney general said the British government would be reasonable but would not give such a guarantee and if the Swedish minister desired to make representations he should do so through the foreign office.

meanor is ever convicted. This would at least
indicate that if what Taft says about newspapers
prejudicing cases in advance is true, that the
prejudice doesn't have any effect upon the court
and the jury.
But the truth is that newspapers are greater
instruments of justice than courts. It would be
almost impossible to cite case where proml-
nent criminal has been apprehended, tried and
convicted, in which the newspapers have not
played more important part than the courts.
Every public prosecutor who really prosecutes
knows this to be true.
That many men who are guilty escape their
just punishment is due to the fact that all the
processes of courts, all the techncalties and pre-
sumptions of the law are in favor Of the accused.
The only punishment such men receive is the
publication Of the truth in newspapers, which is
also the only protection society has from scoun-
drels and criminals of all kinds and degrees.
Men who prey upon society fear newspaper
publicity more than they do the jury box and the
Judges bench. To muzzle the press would be
their delight and immunity. Innocent men who
are convicted" by the press in advance Of their
trial have their recourse. That so few such I'm
nocent" men ever even attempt to avail them
selves of this recourse shows with what justice
and impartiality newspapers "try" men. There
are few appeals from the verdict of the public
PRESS there are always appeals from the verdicts
of the courts.-Soux City Tribune

me take the case Of Belgium. 1t has

Russians. The plans were in our
war office. They were discussed quite
openly during the Agadir trouble, and
were the subject Of some magazine ar.
ticles, particularly one by Mr.. Belloc.
GIadstone's View.
Mr.. Gladstone made it clear In 1870
that in a general conflict formal neu-
trality might be violated. He said in
the House of Commons in August,
1870: Il am not, able to subscribe to
the doctrine of those who have held
in this House what plainly amounts
to an assertion that the simple fact of

altogether of the particular position in
which it may find itself at the time
when the occasion for acting on the
guarantee arises
Germany's guarantees to Belgium
would have been accepted by Mr.
Gladstone. If France had decided to

attack Germany through Belgium, Sir
Edward Grey would not have objected,
but would have justified himself by
Mr.. Gladstone's opinions.
We knew Germany's military plans
We obtained them through the usual
channels of spies and secret service.
We know that the road through Bel
GUM was an essential part Of them.
That was our opportunity to find a
"disinterested" motive apart from the
obligations of the entente. It is well
known that nation will not fight ex-
cept for cause in which idealism is
mingled. The Daily Mail supplied the
idealism for the South African war by
telling lies about the flogging of Eng
lish women and children; our govern
ment supplied the idealism for this
war by telling US that the independ-
ence OF Belgium had to be indicated
by US. Before it addressed its inqui-
ries to France and Germany upon this
point, knowing the military exigencies
OF both countries it knew that France
could reply suitably, whilst Germany
could not do SO. It was q pretty little
game in hypocrisy which the magnifi-
cent valor OF the Belgians will enable
the government to hide up for the
time being.
Such are the facts of the case. 1t Is
diplomatist's war, made by about
half-a-dozen men. Up to the moment
that ambassadors were withdrawn the
people were at peace. They had no
quarrel with each other: they bore
each other no i'll will. Half-a-dozen
men brought Europe to the brink OF q
precipice and Europe fell over 1t be-
cause 1t could not help itself Today
our happy industrial prospects Of a
fortnight ago are darkened. Suffering
has come to be with US. Ruin stares
many of us in the face. Little comfor-
comes have vanished: Want is in our
midst, and Death stalks with Want.
And when we sit down and ask our
selves with fulness of knowledge:
why has this evil happened?" the
| only answer we can give is, because
Sir Edward Grey has guided our for.
eign policy during the past eight years.
His short-sightedness and his blunders
have brought all this upon US.
I have been reminded Of one Of
| those sombre judgments which the
prophet who lived in evil times Ut
| tered against Israel "A wonderful
and horrible thing is committed in the
land: The prophets prophesy falsely.
and the priests bear rule by their
means, and my people love to have 1t
so; and what will ye do in the end
thereof?"
Aye, what will ye do in the end
thereof?
