international Socialists Also
Insist on Independence of
Belgium and Poland.

LONDON, August /. 1890 a.m.-The
complete re-esta blishment of the in
dependence of Belgium and Poland
and democratic federal union OF the
Balkan states were points unanimous
ly agreed upon at the opening of the
international socialist conference at
The Hague yesterday. according to
detailed account of the session received
here
Pieter Jelles ToeIstra. head of the
Dutch delegation, who delivered the
principal address, said that national
differences among the belligerent so
cialists We're still too strong for united
socialist action. He urged all SOCIALISTS
to realize speedily the tasks CONFRONT
ing them and to see that the develop
ment of socialistic tendencies produced
by the war was not used for the
strengthening of absolutism and ou-
reaucracy. The Swedish delegate, Bran
ting. warned against the exaggeration
of disarmament, but advocated re-
duction in military burdens.
Insists on Belgian Independence.
The question of Belgian independence
was raised when a letter was read
from Emile vandervelde, the Belgian
minister of munitions Minister VAN
dervelde who is one of the leaders or
the socialist party in Belgium lnslstea
that the conference should declare
itself unreservedly for the restoration
of his native land. There was no OPP
position to this, but it was decided
not to attempt to deal with the thorny
question of Alsace-Lorraine.
Algernon Lee, the American repre-
sentative and socialist candidate for
the governorship of New York, re-
viewed the effect of the war on so
cialist organizations in America.
He said that during the first year
the influence was very depressing.
people being more or less thrown off
their balance, but that they have
thoroughly recovered now. Mr. Lee
said that though a small socialist
wing in America is pro-German and
perhaps somewhat larger section
definitely anti-German, the great bulk
of the party thought 1t would be best
if neither side was crushingly de-
feated
Says U. S. Has Own Problems.
The American delegate said that the
United States had its own problem In
a very strong militarist movement
which had grown up there. While the
advocates of a bigger army and navy
ALWAYS talked of national defense the
socialists, ne said. felt it really meant
a tendency of American capital to get
the power to exploit Mexico and South
America Not only socialists, but
trades unionists and pacifists, were
extremely active in combating this,
and he believed the anti -militarist
movement had become stronger and
clearer.
Regarding the American proposal TO
call conference of the whole social
list international, Mr. Lee said that the
American socialists felt that perhaps
their European neutral comrades were
better informed and that he was in
clined to take their opinion as to
whether the time was ripe. He added
that he believed such conference
should be held soon rs possible.
After the conference had adjourned
Mr. Lee said that the delegates were
united on the ground that the war
should not result in either annexa-
tions or indemnities.

To the Imperial Chancellor.

Emperor William today sent the fol-
lowing message to DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, the imperial chancellor:
For the second time the anniver-
sary of the day arrives when our enc
mics forced me to call Germany's sons
to arms to protect the honor and ex-
istence of the empire.
The German nation has been through
two years of unprecedentedly heroic
deeds and suffering. The army and
navy, in union with our loyal and
glory in attack and defense. Many
thousands of our brethren have sealed
their loyalty to the fatherland with
their blood.
I'm the west and in the east our
heroic men in field gray resist in un-
shaken fortitude the terrible onslaught
of the enemy.
Our young fleet on that glorious day
in the Skagerrack inflicted a heavy
blow on the British armada. Deeds of
untiring sacrifice and loyal comrade-
ship at the front glow brightly before
my eyes.
AT home also we see heroism. Men
and women, old and young, all quietly
and bravely wearing mourning and the
anxiety of all who organize and help to
lessen the suffering caused by the war,
ceasingly to supply our fighting broth
ers in the trenches and at sea with the
necessary armament.
Our enemys hope to outstrip our
production of war material will prove
as unattainabIe as was their plan to Sc
cure by starvation what their sword
could not attain

Abundant Harvest Assured.

Gods blessings on Germanys fields
has rewarded the farmers more bounti-
fully than we dared to hope. South and
north. in friendly rivalry, strive to find
the best means for an even distribution
of the foodstuffs and other necessaries.
ITO all those fighting, either the
battlefields or at home, my heartiest
thanks.
Still hard times are ahead. After
the terrible storm of the two years of
war a desire for sunshine and peace is
stirring in all human hearts. but the
war continues because the battle cry
of the enemy governments is still the
destruction of Germany. Blame for
further bloodshed falls only on our
enemies The firm confidence has never
left me that Germany is invincible in
spite of the superior numbers of our
enemies. and every day confirms this
anew.
Germany knows she is fighting for
her existence. She knows her strength
and she relies on Gods help. There
fore nothing can shake her determine
ton or her assurance. We shall bring
this struggle to such An end that our
empire will be protected against fu
ture attack and that a. free field will
be assured for 1.-The peaceful develop
ment of German genius and labor.

Superior to the Enemy.
whether the enemy retreated. borne
down by the force of your attacks. or
whether, reinforced by foreign assist
ance collected and pressed into service
from all parts of the world, he tried
to rob you of the fruits of former VIC
tories, you always proved yourselves
superior to him.
Even where England's tyranny was
uncontested. namely. on the free waves $
of the sea, you victoriousiy 1ousht
against gigantic superiority Your
kaiser's appreciation and your CRATE
full country's proud admiration are Sc
cure to you for these deeds, for your
unshaken loyalty, for your bold DARING
and for your tenacious bravery.
Like the memory of our dead heroes,
YOUR fame also will endure through all
time The laurels which our ever-con-
fident forces have won against the en-
emy in spite of trials and dangers are
nseparably linked with the devoted
and untiring labor at home.
Had Support at Home.
This strength at home has sent an
ever fresh inspiration to the armies IN
the field. 1t has continually quickened
our swords. has kindled Germany's en-
thusiasm and has terrified the enemy
My gratitude and that of the fatherland
are due the nation at home.
But the strength and will of the en-
emv are not yet broken. We must con-
tinue the severe struggle in order to
secure the safety of oEr beloved home
land, to preserve the honor of the
fatherland and the greatness of the
empire.
Whether the enemy wages war with
the force of arms OF with cold, calcu-
lating malice, we shall continue, as be-
fore, into the third Year of the war.
The spirit of duty to the fatherland and
an unbending will to victory permeate
our homes and our fighting forces to-
day. as in the first days of the war.
With Gods gracious help j am con-
WINGED that your future deeds will
equal those of the past and present.
