ALLIES PLEDGED
TO CONTINUE WAR
Until Belgium Is Properly
Restored.
RENEW ALLEGIANCE OF FAITH
In Entente Agreement Made Be.
tween the Nations Many
Years Ago.
WAS RENEWED IN YEAR 1903

Havre, Feb. 19.-The Allied Pow
ers, signatory to the treaty guaran
teeing the independence and neutral
ity of Belgium, have decided to re
new the agreements not to end hos
tilities until the political and eco
nomic independence of Belgium is
re-established and the nation is in.
Identified for the damages suffered
This decision was communicated
to the Belgium Foreign Office to-day
by the Ministers representing the
Entente Allies.
The Russian Minister acted as
spokesman, addressing the Belgian
Minister for Foreign Affairs as fol-
lows:
"The Allied Powers signatory to
the treaties guaranteeing the indie
pendence and neutrality OF Belgium
have decided to renew to-day by SOL
emn act the agreements made re-
garding your country, which has
been heroically faithful to its inter-
national obligations. Consequently
we. the Ministers OF France, Great
Britain and Russia, duly authorized
by our Governments, have the honor
to make the following declaration:
"'The allied and guaranteeing
Powers declare that they will not
put an end to hostilities without Bel
GUM having re-established it's po-
litical and economic independence,
and having been amply UNIDENTIFIED
for damages suffered. They will
lend their aid to Belgium in order
to assure it's financial and CONNER
cial restoration
The italian Minister told Baron
Beyens that although Italy was not
among the powers which guaranteed
the independence and neutrality of
Belgium, he had no objection to the
foregoing declaration. A similar
announcement was made on behalf
Of the japanese Government.
BY the treaty of London, signed
November Is, 1881, the neutrality
Of Belgium was guaranteed by Aus
ria, Russia, Great Britain and Prus-
sia.
In 1898 another treaty was sign
I'd, which was subscribed to also by
France, providing: THAT Belgium
shall form an Independent and per-
neutral State. 1t shall be
bound to observe such neutrality to-
ward all other States.'
It has been reported unofficially |
On several occasions recently that |
Germany desired to conclude a sep
lrate peace with Belgium, restoring |
he occupied territory and paying
IN indemnity in return for. certain
commercial advantages.
OfHcial denial of these reports, |
however, was made last week by the
Belgian legation at London. In
with these reports signifi-
,ance was attached to the appoint
nent on February 4 of Earl Curzon
md General Sir Douglas Haig, COM
nander of the British forces on the
to visit King Albert of
Belgium on a special mission, the
nature of which was not disclosed.

President Wilson has at last con-
sented-apparently having no other
alternative, the pressure being so
unanimous-to the use of his name
as a Presidential candidate in the
coming campaign. His nomination
will come almost as certain as the
Democratic national convention
meets. In the minds of thousands
of voters, without regard to politics.
he has made the greatest President
this country has ever had. He has
had more severe trials and vexations
than any other President ever en-
dured. In each he has acquitted
himself honorably and ably. 1t
remains to be demonstrated just how
much the people appreciate this sort
of a President.

The subject of good roads has
been thrashed over so much that 1t
seems every available angle has been
discussed. but it yet remains a very
important topic. Since Ohio county
is going into working the roads by
the old system, one of the most eff
fective tools that can be used is the
road drag. This simple device, well
used, will do more for the roads at
less cost than anything that can be
used, 1t should be employed in road
construction and at every possible
opportunity.

On seceral occasions Gov. Stanley
has made it plain that he will not be
lenient with those who violate the
liquor laws of the State. Most es-
pecially has he declared that the
county unit law shall be enforced. It
behooves county officials all over the
State TO uphold and assist GOv.Stan-
ley in his righteous stand. They
should not hesitate to enforce the Ii
quor laws to the limit. A dry"
county should be made and kept
"dry" by every possible effort Of the
officials and citizens.

Wouldn't it be the most awfullest
calamity in the world if they took
ticker out of the District of Column
bia-yea, even out of Washington
city, the home of graft and high liv-
ing? To be sure, there is no Ticker
made there-eXcept beer--and there
could be no cry of confscating val

would be such terrible hardship on
the saloon property owners and take
such a big lump out of the city's
taxation facilities which have such
hard time getting along. But this
effort is being seriously talked about.

have attended hundreds OF perfectly
