REPLY TO HoLLwEG INTERVIEW
Construction of Teuton Railways
Leading to Buffer State
Held as a Reason.
GIVES RISE TO FEAR OF RAID

LONDON, Jan. 26-The official infor-
nation bureau this evening issued a
statement as follows:
The foreign office, replying officially
10 the interview with DIR. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg. the German imperial chancellor
published in America January "a and
~ admits the existence of the
documents the Germans have said they
found in Brussels. but insists these were
purely informal in case the British
needed to defend Belgian neutrality. The
Belgian marginal note upon the record
explains that tho entry Of the English
into Belgium would only take place after
the violation Of our neutrality by Ger
many"
IF the German chancellor wishes to
know why there were conversations on
this military subject between British
and Belgian officers. he may find the
reason In the fact well known to him.
namely. that Germany was establishing
an elaborate network of stratesicsi rail-
ways. deliberately constructed to permit
a sudden attack on Belgium. This alone
was enough TO justify communications
between Belgium and other powers on
the footing that there would be no viola
tion of Belgian neutrality unless It pre-
viously had been violated by another
power. On no other footing did Belgium
ever have such communications"
The particular reference of the German
chancellor to which the British foreign
office replies in the foregoing dispatch
was published in this coluntry the morn
ing of January 25 and was 40 follows:
England ought really to cease harping
on tho theme of Belgian neutrality.
Documents on the Anglo Belgium military
agreement which we have found I'm the
meantime show plainly enough how
England regarded this neutrality.
I'VE found in the archives of the Bel
gian foreign office documents which
showed that England in 1911 was de-
termined TO throw troops into Belgium
without the assent of the Belgian gov
ernmeht il war had then broken out In
other words, to do exactly the same thing
for which. with all the pathos OF virtuous
indignation II now reproaches Germany"

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE At
CARL|N LAST NIGHT
Former Elko Lady Frightfully Burned
And It ls Feared She VIII
Not Recover

A telephone message from Constable
C. B. Happier of Carlin, this morn
ing conveyed the news of a destruc-
tive fire at that place last night and
the serious burning of Mrs. Lane, for
many years a resident of this place.
The fire occurred in the residence
of Mrs. d. G. Moreheart, Mrs. Lanes
daughter, and the building and all its
contents were completely destroyed.
Mrs. Lane returned from a visit to
the exposition yesterday morning. She
had left her daughter in San Francis
co, who expected to remain there for
some time. Last evening about seven
thirty o'clock Mrs. Lane dropped a
lamp which exploded, and while at
tempting to smother the flames her
skirts caught fire and arms and
limbs were frightfully burned. The
attending physician states that her re-
covery is very doubtful.
The building and contents are said
to have been worth between S3,500
and $4,000, and there was no insur-
ance.
Mr.. Moreheart who is railroad
man arrived in Carlin about eleven
o'clock. Mrs. Moreheart was tele-
graphed to and is expected tonight.
Mrs. Lane was one of the pioneer
ladies' of Elko county. She lived in
Elko many years and her home was on
Fourth street, just at the foot of the
hill. She has many friends among
the old timers who will sincerely re-
gret her serious accident. She moved
to Carlin several years ago TO live
with her daughter when the latter was
married.

iff McMullen and District Attorney

From the meager reports received

four miles from the Idaho line at q
place called Canyon City, was found
dead behind his bar Saturday night

Bates opened the saloon some time
ago whsn Utah and Idaho went dry,
and he depended for his trade upon
people from Albion and other. nearby
places. His place was a roadhouse
and is said to have been a pretty
rough place. Little is known of Bates
here.
