BELGIAN ATTACK
NOT WARRANTED

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 11.-Lieut.
Gen. Baron Won Freytag-Loringhoven,
chief Of the supplementary general
staff of the German army, in an ar
ticle printed in a German newspaper,
admits the falsity of the German pre-
tension that the violation of Belgian
neutrality in the campaign of Au-
gust, 1914, was due to. military and
defensive necessity provoked by al
legged preparation of the French to
invade Germany through Belgium.
Gen. Won Freytag- -Loringhoven writes
that, on the contrary, the French
originally started concentrate their
armies along their eastern frontier
and made a belated change in their
plans only after the German often
sive was set in motion through Bel
gium, and the Germans profited
greatly from the resulting confusion
and delay.
Stories of French troops marching
through Belgium during the first
days of the war and of airplane and
automobile attacks from Belgian ter
ritory and other fairy tales which
figured so lasgely in German justi-
fication of the invasion of Belgium
are not mentioned.
The article describes the disastrous
effect of the sweep of that uneX-
pected German flood upon successive
French armies and the advance to
the Mane. Gen. Won FreytagLor-
inghoven declares that the Germans
retreated from the Marine because
they were too weak to break through
the French line, but he argues that
although final success was missed
there, Germany, by Selling the op-
portunity of daring advance
through Belgium, avoided war on her
own territory
The newspaper says that the ar
ticle of Gen. Won Freytag- -Loring-
hoven, who is Germany's leading mil
itary historian and writes on the
basis of the official general staff rec
ords, is circulated semi-officially in
the German press.

THOSE PATRIOTIC
LUMBER BARONS

In conference to settle the lumber
strike the lumbermen in a statement
most peculiar among other things
said: eve do not see wherein it can
be said that the lumber industry of
the Pacific Northwest has not al
ready responded patriotically to the
country's call"
The following clipped from the Sc
attle Star shows just about how
"patriotically" they are responding:
"If Uncle Sam would go into the
spruce logging business on his own
account, he would save millions of
dollars in the building of his huge
airplane fleet.
"This is the opinion of II. G.
Crowley of Clallam county, who is
at present employed as an engineer
at the army cantonment at Ameri-
can lake. Crowley owns land in
the Hoko river valley, where he
says 200 settlers have homeateads,
with some Of the finest spruce tim
Der in the Northwest.
"He says Clallam county records
show that 1,00O,0OO,OOO feet of
spruce are accessible in that local
ity.
ga log railroad intoa the valley
would cost the governmeRt $4,000"
said Crowley Logging would cost
$5 per thousand for the railroad, So
per thousand for Iogs on the cars,
IS stumpage and %5 per thousand for
manufacturing in the mills. Allow
s. for extra costs, and Uncle Sam
would get his spruce for $25 thou
sand. He is paying S1O5 now. And
in the end, there would be a rail
road there, and the country would be
opened up"
"Crowley believes the government
could handle logging as systematic
ally and as economically as it is
the construction of the
cantonment at America lake"
One hundred and twenty-five dol
lars a thousand for spruce lumber.
No danger Of the patriotic sawdust
going broke at those
prices. Do patriotism, treason and
mean the same thing?

ORGANIZED LABOR.

as is the power of organized labor,
and no opposition to the l. W. W.
movement can count on success eX-
cept by the assistance of union labor.
The most powerful ally of the l. w.
w. movement at present is the an
archist capitalist who refuses to deal
with unionism.
"1he law, the public sentiment Of
the community at large and the spe-
cific antagonism to the l. w. w. on
the part of organized labor will in
good time countercheck the excesses
Of that turbulent aggregation. The
1awlessness of the professedly law
abiding only aggravates the situation.
The pernicious fallacy at the bot
tom of their lawlessness is the hallu-
cination that a part Of the people
in any community have the right
to determine what other people shall
live on in that community, and to
drive out any that they do not like.

ACCIDENT FIGURES
FOR MONTH OF JULY

Figures compiled by the industrial
insurance commission show that
1856 accidents were reported during
July, fewer than in June, 1916, when
1870 were reported. The slump COM
pared with June is attributed to the
many strikes. Last month there were
25 fatal accidents as compared with
26 fatal accidents in June For
the six months ended July 81 there
were $4,000 accidents reported as
compared with II, ,493 in the same
period for 1916.

DR.. Henry Suzzallo, Chairman State
Council Of Defense, Seattle, Wash.
Your telegram received Democ-
racy and freedom are at stake in the
winning Of the present war. A for
eign autocrat has wantonly destroyed
the lives of our people while engaged
in their usuaul and legitimate avo-
cations at sea. He has sought to
turn friendly nations against us in
order that our nation might be dis
membered and our great Western and
Southwestern country placed under
the jurisdiction and control of an
alien government. He has sought to
rule over us by ordering what we
should not do to the minutest detail.
The German government must not
be permitted to carry these designs
into execution. Our first duty as
patriotic American citizens having
the future welfare and freedom Of
our people at heart is to so compose
our personal and industrial diff
culties as to enable us to use the
highest efficiency of man power for
the national defense. Every foot
of lumber that can be produced is
necessary for the preparation for
the contest. Every impediment that
is placed in the way Of its produc-
tion gives aid and comfort to the
enemy. The Council of National De
fense, therefore, strongly urges the
employers and employees in the lum-
bering industry on the Pacific Coast
to settle their differences at once
and mutually cooperate for the pro-
duction of lumber for the common
defense. The United States has es-
tablished an eight-hour day for me-
chanics and laborers engaged in work
done for and by the government. The
president is authorized to waive the
eight-hour day when an emergency
exists. The law requires time and
one-half to be paid for overtime, in
order that there may be no induce
ment to work more than eight hours
When the emergency is over, large
portion of the timber produced on
the Pacific Coast will be needed by
the government for shipbuilding and
airplane purposes. The legal work
day might then be very properly
adopted We would urge that basis
of adjustment as a solution of the
problem. Our men at the front
are even now making sacrifices for
the common good, with greater sac
rifices to follow. Surely our men
at home must be equally willing to
make sacrifices for the welfare of
the nation. We are making this ap-
peal to the men engaged in the lum-
Der industry on the Coast, confident
in our belief that their patriotism
will respond to their country's call.
(Signed)

Commenting on the above tele-
gram, the lumbermen say that they
can supply, within thirty days, all
the lumber the government needs.
That may be true but there is much
doubt of its truth. What is true,
however, is that the lumbermen
will take every cent the government
is willing to or can be forced to pay
for that lumber.
Lumbermen's Statement
The following statement was made
by the West Coast Lumbermen's As
sociation:
"The telegram from the secretary
of war does not necessarily change
the situation unless it should lead
to negotiations whereby it would be
possible to establish a national eight
hour day for the lumber industry.
Pacific Coast lumbermen favor that,
but simply cannot grant a regional
eight@hour day without wrecking the
industry.
'ln the meantime we have received
no contracts or inquiries from the
government for-spruce aircraft stock
which we are ready to deliver. Ship
timber is being delivered, except in
a few instances, as fast as the yards
require, and if the yards which are

PARIS, Arg. 16.-Detailed ac- counts of the terrific battle raging around Marashepsti show that it may fairly be classed as the bloodi- est of the war, regiments extermin- ating one another in desperate hand to hand bayonet and rife work while the massed forces interlock- ing in these fierce encounters pre- vented the use of machine guns much less field artillery.
 It is declared by reports reaching here from Petrograd and such as have come from Vienna via Zurich

 Ten divisions of Teuotns, nine of which are composed exclusively of Germans attacked the Russo Ru- manians in full force in a night at tack.
