Chairman Coudert's Address

Frederic R. Coudert, chairman of the
Mayors reception committee, who was
the only other speaker, said to the en-
voys of Belgium:
you represent incsrnate and en-
bodied the great cause Of America and
of civilized mankind. There is no in
stance in history so momentous as
those first three days in August, when
the fate of the whole world hung IN
Belgium.
Belgium had everything to lose, save
only her honor. And the nations
waited on her choice. When the cam
non mouths opened on Liege, that was
the biggest day since the dawn of the
Christian era. Belgium's decision sent
a thrill through America-more of a
thrill than it had received since 1t
fought for its own independence.
I'VE know there will be no peace in
Europe until the spirit which directed
the destruction of Belgium is COM
pletely and wholly dominated. 1t is not
a question Of boundaries, not even Of
indemnity, for nothing can ever pay for
the Belgian blood that has been spent"

Manson Denies U-Boats
Enter Norway Waters
Head of Mission Declares His
Nation Is Observing
Strict Neutrality

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-Considera-
bic feeling has been aroused IN Norway
and among Norweglans IN the United
States By statements In the American
press that German submarines pass
through Norwegian territorial waters
and that Norway is not maintaining a
careful watch of her three-mlle belt.
DR.. Fridtjof Nansen, head OF the spe-
cial Norwegian mission TO the united
States, made the following statement
to-day:
THE charge is not true, because the
first thing Norway is careful about is
not to permit submarines TO enter her
territorial waters. | know of only two
instances where German U-boats act
ually violated Norwegian neutrality.
TIE naval officer reporting one case
stated that the U-boat was at the two
and-nine-tenths-m line, the German
commander maintaining that he was
entirely outside the three-mile limit.
The fact is that English war vessels,
also, have been inside, and such acct
dents may happen. There haze not
been more cases of German intrusion
within the three mile limit than Brit
ish, and in both cases the incidents
were quite insignificant
If the people who make such charges
should take the trouble to ask the
British Admiralty whether Norway
keeps a careful watch over her terri
torial waters, the reply would be that
Norway does keep the most thorough
watch that is possible with her navy,
fol that is the compliment the Ad-
miralty has paid Norway.
There are few cases where German
U-boats have attempted to come INTO
Norwegian waters, but they were all
stopped ,.
Or. Manson declared his country 5
neutrality was being rigidly enforced
against every belligerent.

~ OMPLAINT has been
W made to the federal
trade commission by the
commissioner of agriculture in
the state of Washington to the
effect western cattlegrowers
are not receiving a square deal
in marketing their hides. 1t is
asserted that while eastern
prices of leather are high west
ern store houses are filled with
hides for which there are no
buyers. The commissioner
says the price for hides is lower
than at any previous time dur
ing the last five years.
If such statements are true
then indeed does the situation
call for action by the federal
trades commission. The con-
sumer and the merchant are
called upon to pay increased
prices for shoes on the alleged
ground that leather is scarce.
Most people have been accept
ing that explanation as true be-
cause it is plausible. If on the
contrary the leather price is
being boosted by profiteering
methods it is time for the coun-
try to know it and to get to the
seat of the trouble. The ma
