SIR EDWARD GREY
IS TAKEN TO TASK
Berlin Accuses Him of Double
Dealing at Outbreak
of War.
CLAIMS CASE OF BELGIUM
WAS USED AS A PRETExT
British Cabinet Knew, Says Official
Statement. That Belgium No
Longer Was Neutral.

BERLIN, August 81, by wireless to
saySille, y. Y-The North German Ga
zette publishes an official reply to the
recent statement by Sir Edward Grey,
the British secretary for foreign al
fairs, with relation to the speech OF
Chancellor Won Bethmann- HollWeg at
the opening of the last session OF the
rcichstag. The Overseas News Agency
summarizes the reply in the Gazette as
follows:
AT the beginning the article alludes
TO the fact that Sir Edward Grey dip
1on,aticslIy ignored the valuable ma
terial contained in reports from Bel
clan ministers at various European
capitals prior to the war recently pub
Ijshed in Germany, but goes exhaust
lively into the subject of threats
against Belgian neutrality
Fostered British Plans. ....
.rrbe chancellor never said that Bel
gium sold her neutrality to England
but asserted that it had been proved
by documents that Belgium had roster
ed British military plans. thus herseh
violating her neutrality.
THE article points out that the discus
sion of all eventualities by British and
Belgian military officers must have been
reported to the British cabinet. Docu-
ments found in Brussels, 1t is asserted,
show conclusively that British military
attache coolly told his Belgian colleague
that Great Britain would land troops in
Belgium without Belgium's consent, ana
that Belgium never had protested against
this, having decided not to resist British
violation of Belgian neutrality; but that
upon the mere supposition that German
INVASION was possible the Belgian govern
nent prepared complete plans for CO.
operation with British forces. Such a
country, it is declared, is not neutral
country.

Memorandum by Ambassador

1t notes the Gazette's assertion that
Sir Edward Grey had denied having
made such remarks as the German
chancellor in his reichstag speech had
interpreted as meaning that Sir Ed
ward would be able to aid Germany
against Russia. The text of the memo
randum in which Prince Lichnowsky,
the German ambassador at London,
recorded the part in question of his in
terview with the British secretary for
foreign affairs is reproduced from the
newspaper by the Overseas News
Agency as follows:
Sir Edward Grey sent word he would
like to speak to me at his house before
my departure. and bid me farewell;
also thai he had confidential COM
munication to make that possibly
would be valuable in the future an
swered that in view of the turn af-
fairs had taken IT would be painful for
me to meet him again, but would yield

Gated that in less than two-thirds Of
a century-that is, from 1850 to
1912-the total wealth of the coun-
try, exclusive of real estate exempt
from taxation, had increased from
$7,196, 100000 to S175,426,OOO, 900.
or from $3OS per capita to S1,S36
per capita. Stated in another way.
the figures show that the wealth of
the nation as whole has increased
since 1850 almost twenty-five times,
and the wealth of the individual
about six times. The real estate ex-
empt from taxation was estimated at
$12,314, 100000, or 1925 per capita.
This real estate embraced buildings,
lands and public works owned by
federal, state or local governments,
and such property as was devoted to
educational, charitable and religious
work under conditions that exempted
it from taxation.

Our National Wealth.

Most people in this country were
startled last month to read, in a
statement issued by the census bu-
reau at Washington, that our nation
al wealth is now estimated at the
sum of 1855 for every man, woman
and child in the country. The bureau
did not issue these figures as "a close
approximation" to actual facts, but
they are declared to be the best that
could be compiled from existing data,
and they could fairly be compared
with a similar estimate published
eight years ago. The figures indi-

Valley Pioneer
Crosses Divide

Medford Sun: Uncle Vint Beal"
died Saturday morning, July II, at
his home near Central Point, where
he has lived for practically an even
half century. He was in his S5th
year. Probably no other pioneer of
the valley has been better known or
more generally beloved.
His full name was Robert Vinton
Beall. He was born in Montgomery
county, Maryland, June Is, 1891;
was of Scotch ancestry. With his
parents he moved to Sangarmon coun-
ty, Illinois, in 1884. With his broth
er, Thomas F. Beall, he arrived at
Oregon City on the 18th day of July,
1852. They had made the trip with
siX-mue team from st. Joseph,
Mo-, in rs days. So far as is known
this is the shortest time in which this
trip was made by any of the early
settlers.
Like the other pioneers, Mr.. Beall
was drawn here by reports of gold
discoveries, and he at once engaged
in placer mining in Josephine county.
On September 27, 1852, he came
across the mountains from Josephine
county to Jacksonville, where he like
wise engaged in mining. He has Of
ten said that his first view Of the
Rogue River valley was from the hills
back of Jacksonville and that 1t was
the most beautiful sight that he had
ever beheld.
He and his brother Tom operated
a pack train from Oregon City to
Jacksonville and teamed and freight
ed from Crescent City, Cal, to Jack
sonville. At this time the boat serv-
ice from San Francisco to Crescent
City and the river transportation to
Oregon City offered the best means of
transportation of supplies of the val
ley.
Subsequently the Beall brothers
settled upon adjoining farms, near
what is now the town Of Central
Point. They had practically the en-
tire valley from which to select, and
they certainly made no mistake.
They threw their rail fences around
what is undoubtedly the most fertile
and one of the most beautiful spots
in the valley.
On april 10, 1864, Vinton Beall
was married to Ann Maria Riddle at
the farm now known as Glenbrook,
in Douglas county, Oregon. At this
time he was 33 years of age and his
bride was II. They have lived to-
gether for the past 81 years. There
are two children, with the widow,
surviving him, Mary Strang of Med
ford and Robert Vinton Beall, who
lived with his parents at the old
home.
I Vinton Beall was the ideal type of
the Rogue River valley pioneer. He
was a man of very strong convictions,
outspoken, fearless, and yet always
kind and considerate of others. He
was particularly progressive. He was
one, of the many pioneer contributors
to the expense incident upon Ben
Holidays first survey for the Ore
gon & California railroad through
Jackson county. In the earlier days
of his activity he was prominently
identified with every public move
ment and enterprise. He was bun
die of energy, and his good nature
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1915-07-22

and good cheer endeared him to every
one. He was a man of very strong
friendships and he always knew that
his friends were right In the pass
ing of this strong race of pioneer
men and women he will be much
missed. But he rounded out a full
and useful life and leaves with all
who had known him well, as sweet a
memory as any who have gone be-
fore.

FLAGS OF
AMERICAN COTTON.

Washington, June 3O.-American
flags of American cotton, more durable
and as good in all other respects as
the time-honOred ensign made of wool,
have found their way into government
service. Supplies of the cotton flags
will be available to army and navy
beginning tomorrow. The cotton flags
cost less, wear longer, and are more
truly expressive of America.
Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury
Department is given the credit for de-
veloping this new field for the use of
the great product of the South. 1t
was he who directed service and tex
tile tests which it is claimed demon
strated the superior serviceability of
the cotton flag.
There are a thousand buildings in
the country from which, in due time,
the cotton flag will fly. There are the
coast guard cutters that will carry the
American flag of cotton into many
ports and on many missions of mercy.
The adoption by the army and navy is
optional, but there is little doubt that
both arms Of the military service will
adopt it.
