four months vacation in the Orient.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1917-01-02

! Austria-Hungary came to an under
; standing on the eve Of the conflict.
But to all these efforts Germany gave
neither answer nor effect.
Belgium was invaded by an empire
which had guaranteed her neutrality
and which had the assurance to pro-
claim that the treaties were scraps OF
paper aAd that necessity knows no
law
-, cat the present moment these sham
offers on the part Of Germany rest on
the war map Of Europe alone, which
represents nothing more than a
superficial and passing phase Of the
situation and not the real strength
of the belligerents.
"A peace concluded upon these
terms would be only to the advantage
of the aggressors, who after imagin-
ing that they would reach their goal
in two months, discovered after two
years that they could never attain it..
"As for the future the disasters
caused by the German declaration Of
war, and the innumerable outrages
committed by Germany and her allies
against both belligerents and neutrals
demand penalties, reparation and
guarantees. Germany avoids mention
Of any of these.
I'm reality, these oyertures made
by the central powers are nothing
more than calculated attempt to in
fuence the future course OF war, and
to end it by imposing German peace.
"The object of these overtures is 70
create dissention in public opinion in
the allied countries. But that public
opinion has in spite of all the sacri-
fees endured by the allies already
given it's answer with admirable firm
ness and has denounced the empty
pretense of the declaration of the
enemy powers.
They have the further object OF
stiffening public opinion in neutral
countries, whose inhabitants have
long since made up their minds where
the initial responsibilities lie, and
are far too enlightened to favor the
! designs of Germany by abandoning
the defense Of human freedom.
Finally, these overtures attempt to
justify in advance in the eyes of the
world new series of crimes-subma-
rine warfare, deportations, forced Ia
Dor and forced enlistment Of the in
habitants against their own countries
and violations Of neutrality.
Fully conscious of the gravity OF
this moment, but equally conscious OF
its requirements, the allied govern
ments, closely united to one another
and in perfect sympathy with their
peoples, refuse to consider proposal
which is empty and insincere.
J "Once again the allies declare that
no peace is possible so long as they
have not secured reparation for vio-
lated rights and liberties, the recog-
milton of the principle of nationalities

and Of the free existence Of small
states; 30 long as they have not
brought about settlement calculat-
ed to end once and for all forces
which have constituted perpetual
menace to the nations and to afford
the only effective guarantee for the fu-
ture security of the world.
"In conclusion, the allied power
think it necessary to put forward the
following considerations, which show
the special situation of Belgium after
two and a half years of war:
In virtue Of the international treat
les signed by five great European pow
ers, Of whom Germany was one, Bel
GUM enjoyed before the war special
status, rendering her territory invioa-
bic and placing her under the guar
antee of the powers, outside all Euro
pean conflicts.
"She was, however, in spite of these
treaties, the first to suffer the aggres-
sion Of Germany. For this reason. the
Belgian government thinks it neces-
sary to define the aims H'hcih Belgi-
um has never ceased to pursue while
fighting side by side with the entente
powers for right and justice.
Belgium always has scrupulously
fuldelled the duties which her neutral
ity imposed upon her. She has taken
up arms to defend her independence
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1917-01-02

and her neutra,it; vi. { by &c.
many, and to show that she remains
faithful to her international oDfgs-
tions.
"On the fourth of August, 1914, ia
the reichStag, the German chancellor
admitted that this aggression consti-
tuted an injustice contrary to tha
laws of nations, and pledged himself
in the name of Germany to repair It,
During two and a half years this
injustice has been cruelty aggravated
by the proceedings Of the occupying
forces, which have exhausted the re-
sources of the country, ruined its il
dustries, deyasted its towns and
villages and have been responsible
for innumerable massacres, executions
and imprisonments.
'At this very moment, While Ger
raany is proclaiming peace and hu-
nanity to the world, she is deporting
Belgian citizens by thousands and re-
ducing them to slavery.
Belgium before the war asked foe
nothing but to live in harmony with
her neighbors. Her king and hersgeS-
ernment have but one aim-the re-es-
tablishment Of peace and justice. But
they only desire peace\ which would
assure to their country legitimate rep
aration, guarantees and safeguards
for the future"

swer follows:
THE allied governments of Belgi

pan, Montenegro, Portugal Rumania
4,uSsia and Siberia, united for the de-
fense Of the liberty of their. peoples
and faithful to engagements taken not
to lay down their arms. separately
have resolved to reply collectively tc
the pretsnded propositions of peace
which we're addressed to them on be-
half of the enemy governments
through the intermediary of the Unit
ed States, Spain, Switzerland, and
Holland.
Before making any reply, the al
lied powers desire particularly to pro-
test against the two essential asser-
tions of the note of the enemy powers
that pretend to throw upon the allies
responsibility for the war and pro-
claim the victory of the central
powers.
NIT an affirmation doubly inexact and
which suffces to render sterile all
tentative negotiations.
"Yhe allied nations lave sustained
for 30 months war they did every
thing to avoid They have shown by
their acts their attachment to peaEe
That attachment is as strong today as
It was in 1914. But 1t is not upon the
word of Germany, after the violation
Of its engag agements, that the Peace
broken by her may be based.
"a mere suggestion, VI :
statement of terms that nee - -
should be opened, is not an II
peace. The putting forward by he
imperial government of a sham pro.
posal lacking all substance and pre-
cision would appear to be less an Offer
OF peace than a war maneuver. II
is founded on calculated misinterpre-
tation of the character of the struggle
in the past, the present and the peo-
pie.
CAS- for the past the German note
takes no account of the facts, dates
and figures which establish that the
war was desired, provoked and de-
clared by Germany and Austro-Hun-
gary.
"At The Hague conference it vas a
German delegate who refused all pro-
posals for disarmament. In July, 1874
it was AustriaHungary, who after
having addressed to Serbia an un-
precedented ultimatum, declared wal
upon her in spite of the satisfaction
which at one time had been accorded

Dodges trip on the seized vessel
illustrates the perilous nature of the
duty demanded of the men assigned
to the Boring Sea watch.
For several days, said Dodge, Il
played cTibbage with Montgomery,
the skipper, and helped him consume
the best supplies in the mess. But
Montgomery soon become mOrOse,
broOding over the probability that he
would never again get a ships COM
mand. He began drinking Japanese
liquor heavily and grew threatening.
with their skipper in this ugly
mood, the crew, a hard outfit, also
grew mutinOus. Led by Chile, a big
Kanaka mate, they threatened to
take the ship from me, place me in
irons and kill me and make a run of
it for Japan.
For days my life hung by thread,
but I finally convinced them, that,
though they might easily Overpower
me, they would probably be arrest
ed for piracy in the first port they
touched.
Montgomery, Crazed with drink,
had tried three times to jump over
board, so that l had to put him in
irons. And so we finally reached Sit
ka, where the Northern Light was
cOnfiscated and condemned.
1T was an expensive barrel of
skins for Montgomery and the YES
