treaty of peace for which the worll is praying.
 One effect of the war now it progress will be to emphasize tn. importance of and intensity the in, terest in the great International Peace conference projected by the management of the Exposition. Let us hope that this war may be recorded history before this congress convenes. The horrors of present day warfare will then be fully ap. preciated and those directly affected may be available with their experi- ence and advice to assist in prepar- ing code of international law and police powers and provide such otter recommendations as may be best fitted to insure lasting peace.
 And when we look into the future may we find the new cycle of brotherly love superseding the dis- cord of today. May the settlement of international strife by war, and blood and suffering, and devastation be supplanted by conference and ns- gotiation and arbitration; then wiu follow rest and peace and content. ment for the everlasting enjoymen. of mankind. As John G. Whittier beautifully expressed it in his cen- tannial hymn in 1876: Oh, make Thou us thru centuries
 long In peace secure, in justice strong; Around our gift of freedom draw The safeguards of Thy righteous
 law, And cast in some diviner mold Let the new cycle shama tho n.d-n

Death After Victory.

A railway raan just outside Mitchan station has found barn owl with its claws firmly embedded in a rats neck lying dead on one of the rails. The bird had evidently been struck by a train as 1t was about to fly off with it's capture. Owls are common in the pe1ghborhood. as the station is sur. rounded by trees: and there are mum. bers of rats in the vicinity. which make g practice of licking the fat of the railway points.-London Mail.

Berlin, Jan. 29-The official state, ment issued today by the German gen. eral army headquarters says:
 "In the western theatre: During a night expedition made by one of our provision establishments of the fort ress of Dunkirk were attacked. Many bombs were dropped. .,,
 An attack made by the enemy in the dunes to the northwest of Nieu- port was repulsed. The enemy who penetrated at one place as, far as our trenches, was repulsed by a nigh bayonet attack.
 'To the south of LaBassee canal the English attempted to recapture positions which we had taken frori them. but their attack was easily re. pulsed.
 Nothing of importance took plata in the remainder of the front.

fined in the Robinsonville Jail under

Bloodhounds were brought here
from Chattanooga on a special train,
and after being taken to the scene OF
the assassination they followed the
trail to the homes of Miller and Wig

had to be pulled off them by the posse.

GREY ANSWERS HoLLWEG
British Foreign Secretary Denies rio'
tE With Belgium.

London, Aug. 26-sir Edward Gre!
the British Foreign Secretary, sent /"
letter to the press last night reply
ing. to a speech delivered in the Ger
man Reichstag last week by Dr.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, the German Chah
cellors
In the letter Sir Edward deals al
length with the charges that Belgium
had trafficked her neutrality with
Great Britain and the Allies. Inc
letter, in part, follows:
"ne Belgian record, conversation
with the British military attache, was
published by Germany last autumn, to
nrove that Belgium had trafficked her
nentrality with US and was in effect IN
a plot with us against Germany. Inc
conversation. of which the most use
has been made, never was reported TO
the Foreign Office, nor, as far as the
records show, to the War Office ut the
time. and we saw record OF 1t the
first time when Germany published
the Belgian record.
"But it bears on the face of it that
it referred only to the contingency OF
Belgium being attacked, that the en-
try of the British into Belgium would
take place only after violation OF Bel
gian territory by Germany and thai
it did not commit the British Govern.
ment, No convention Of agreement !eX.
listed between the British and Bel
gian governments.
Why does the German Chancellor
mention these informal conversation:
of 1906, and ignore entirely that Of
April, 1913? l told the Belgian minis
ter most emphatically that what W.
desired in the case of Belgium, as witt
other neutral countries, was that thel
neutrality should be respected anF
that so long as it was not violated b!
any other power we should certainly
not send troops ourselves into thclI
territory.
What is the true story? On July q
1914, the German Chancellor tried t
bride US by a promise of future Bel
gian independence to become part!
to the violation of Belgian neutralit!
by Germany. On the outbreak Of tn,
war, he described the Belgian treat!
as scrap of paper, and the German
Foreign Secretary explained that Ger
many must go through Belgium t. at
tack France because she could not al
ford the time to do otherwise.
"In; the Reichstag on August A, l9l
the German Chancellor stated in re
ferring to the violation of the neutral
ity of Belgium and Luxembourg:
"'The wrong, I speak openly, thu
wrong we thereby commit we will try
to make good as soon as our militar,
aims have been attained The viola
ton of Belian neutrality, therefore
was deliberate, although Germany hat
actually guaranteed that neutrality
"The two negotiations for an Auglt
German agreement in 1913, referred
to by the German Chancellor, weri
brought to point at which 1T wa:
clear they could have no success unles'
we, effect, gave promise of abso
lutte neutrality while Germany re
NAMED free under; her alliances tt
take part in European war"

cHANcELLoR's STATEMENT
Germany Expected to Make satisfac-
tory Reply to; Omitted States.

HHE-
Berlin, Aug. 26-If the commander
of German submarine exceeded MS
instructions in sinking the steamer
Arabic the German government Will
give full satisfaction to the Oniteo
States, Chancellor Won Bethmann-Ho i-
veg says:
The imperial chancellor made the
following statement Of Germany s
position on the sinking Of the Ara
bic.
GAS long as the circumstances SUI
rounding the sinking OF the AraOlc
have not been fully cleared up 1t L
impossible for me to report about IT,
Now we do not even know "hethe'
the sinking of the ship was caused oy
a torpedo fired from German SUD
marine. nor do we know whether N
this latter case the Arabic herself
may not by her actions, pehaps' nave
justified proceedings Of the command
er of the submarine.
"Only after all these circumstances
have been cleared up will it be pos
sible to say whether the commander
of one of our submarines went beyond
his instructions, in which case the i'm
perial government would not hesitate
to give such complete satisfaction &c
the United States as would CONFORM
to the friendly relations existing be
tween both governments.
Berlin, Aug. 26-Ambassador Ger
'ard at o'clock yesterday Afternoon
received a request from Foreign Min.
lister Won Jagow to call upon him, and
left luncheon party to respond to
the invitation.
The Ambassador conferred a hall
hour with the foreign minister. Am
bassador Gerard afterward would say
nothing regarding the conversation.
Ambassador Gerard called on For
eign Minister Won Jagow Tuesday
evening and asked for information
concerning the sinking Of the steam,
ship Arabic. Mr.. Gerard learned thai
the government had no official news
whatever.
The only information when Tho
government has is that contained II
foreign newspaper dispatches. 1t Is
not even clear whether the disaste'
was due to torpedo or mine. ant
whether, in case the vessel was tor
pedoed, there were special cXtenuat
ing circumstances.
Officials Of the foreign Office make
it very clear that they have no lnlen.
ton of flouting the United States OF
seeking to bring about a situation
such as that dealt with hypothctlcall>
in the last American note.
Berlin, August 2G-While the situa
ton regarding the case Of the Ara
bic is by no means clear, indication:
are noticeable Of belief that Il
moderate amount of optimism regard.
ing the case is well justified and
that q way will be found out of The
ENHANCEMENT. even should it be eS
tablished that the steamer was tor.
pedoed, and assumption which The
German government has as yet, in
the lack of any official report on the
subject, no reason to accept.
The newspapers and the pu' lie
seem hardly 70 have awakened to the
nature of the situation. and betwec;
the divergent views of Theodore
Roosevelt and William !. Bryan
find little enlightenment regarding
the real state Of American public opin.
ion. The Foreign Office, however
evidently fully aware Of the delicate
nature of the situation and is dispoS
ed to avoid crisis, which i far
therest from its desire.
