BELGIUM'S FATE IF
 GERMANY WINS WAR
Von Bethmann-HollWeg'S Speech
 Causes Much Conjecture

Berlin, April 6, Via. London, April [, 2:45 D. m.-The historical inn portance of Dr. Von Bethmann- | Hollweg's speech which the imperial chancellor for the first time referred ] with any definiteness to the future fate of Belgium and other occupied countries and in which he spoke guardedly of the possibility of giving up Belgium under adequate guaran- tees, generally was appreciated by his hearers and by the press in it's comment regarding yesterdays session of the Reichstag.
 The newspapers are unable to fol- low Dr. Won Bethmann-H HolIWeg in his consideration of the future dis position of Belgium, owing to the prohibition against the discussion of war aims, but pr. Peter Spahn, leader of the center party, who fol- lowed the imperial chancellor, inn mediately picked up the words of the first. speaker and endeavored to ex- pand them into a declaration that Belgium, whatever it's formal status after the war may be, must remain politically and economically in Ger man hands For this interpretation, however, the chancellor's words LuIlllSll no DdSlS. frleQr1Cn Ebert, leader of the socialists, who fol- lowed pr. Spahn immediately uttered a protest against such inter rretation.
 The chancellor's enunciation of a modified Monroe Doctrine, in which he disclaimed any intention to at tempt to set foot on the American continent after the war and his declaration rapar6j0c 10 c,1h,,,o campaign, also furnished texts for speeches.
 Following these orators Dr. Spahn devoted a considerable part of his discourse to consideration of Ameri- can relations. The important pass ages of his speech, which, owing to his indistinct manner of delivery, were utterly unintelligible at the tune and available only from the official stenographic report, read as follows:
 The press, people and government of America have shown by their con- duct that their Sympathies and busi- ness instincts favor England and not Germany. America has become a regular arsenal and base of supplies Cn large scale for our enemies The American government has bound itself where we were concerned to the formal letter of the law and has employed generally a more generous interpretation of the regulations of neutrality in favor of the states hos tile to us. Much has been per- hitter there, which if done by us. would have been used in America to prove an out break of hatred against us4'

FEW ASK FOR CHARITY.
Jobs on Small Country Farms Go Beg
 ging and 'Movies' Are Blamed.

Tile requests for aid from tre charity department grow fewer each day, according to Superintendent A. J. Hart. The scarcity of labor is given as the principal reason for the change. There are many jobs vacant in the local factories, while farmers are pay ing higher wages than ever before and still are unable to obtain the neces- sary amount of labor to plant their crops.
 The men who were form erly con- tented to spend the summer on a small farm are very scarce these days, the desire to pass the summer evenings at the movies being considered the cause. The larger farms are able to secure help more easily, it being sup posed that the social side Of the life there is much desired

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Manila, P. l., Sept. 25.-Allied war
ships, believed to be British vessels,
are again active in territorial waters
of the Philippines and half a dozen
inter-island vessels have been over
hauled, halted and examined during
the past few days. The procedure is
generally to halt a ship, send an
armed landing party aboard, examine
the ships papers, ask for information
as to the nationality of .e passen-
gers and inquire whether the ship
carried cargo or mail addressed to
Teutonic subjects. So far there has
been no interference, either with pas
sengers, mail or cargo.
A large cruiser, believed to be Brit
ssh, created a sensation recently by
dashing into Manila bay and coming
within four miles of the harbor. Then
1t turned tail and as suddenly made
for the open sea again. No effort
was made. to stop it by the American
warships in the bay, which have
charge of enforcing neutrality regula-
tions, but it is understood that the
matter was the subject of correspond
ence between the governor generals
office and the British consulate.
