severe fashion also the Paris declara-
ton: so that by her arbitrary meas
ures for warfare condition OF law
lessness has been created.
The war OF starvation against Ger
many and the pressure exercised in
Ergland's interest against neutrals
are not less scandalously conflicting
with the rules of the laws OF nations
as with the commands of humanity.
"LiEewis contrary to the laws Of
nations and incompatible with the
usages OF civilization are the use OF
colored troops in Europe and the ex-
tension OF the war into Africa which
was done by breach of existing
treaties and which undermine the
prestige OF the white race on that con-
tirent. The barbarous treatment OF
Prisoners, especially In Africa and
Russia, and the deportation OF the
civilian population from eastern
Prussia. Alsace-Lorraine, Galicia and
buKowina are further proof OF how
our adversaries point out the special
situation OF Belgium. The imperial
government is unable to accede that
the Belgian government has always
observed the duties which were en-
joined upon her by her neutrality. AL
ready before the war Belgium under
England's influence. sought support in
military fashion from England and
France and thus herself violated the
spirit (of the treaty. which she had to
guarantee her independence and neu-
tralIty
Twice the imperial government de-
olared to the Belgian government that
II did not come as an enemy to Bell
gium and asked II to spare TO the
country the terrors OF war. Germany
offers TO guarantee the Integrity and
Independence OF the kingdom 10 the
fun extent and compensate FOR all
damages which might be caused by
the passage Of the German troops.
II is known that the royal British
government IN 1887 was resolved not
TO oppose the use OF the right OF way
thru Belgium under these conditions.
The Belgian government declined
the repeated offer of the imperial gov
ornment, Upon her and those powers
which instigated her to this attitude
falls the responsibility for the fate
which befell Belgium.
Rcfutc Accusations.
THE accusations about the German
warfare In Belgium and the measures
taken there in the interest Of military
safety have been repeatedly refuted
bv the imperial government as untrue.
Germany again offers energetic protest
against these calumnies.
Germany and her allies have made
an honest attempt to terminate the war
and open the road for an understand
ing among the belligerents. The i'm
periai government asserts the fact that
It merely depended upon the decision
Of our adversb ries whe ether' the road to-
ward peace should be entered upon or
not The hostile government declined
to accept this road. Upon them falls

Joe Duran Mentioned.

At the present time there Is no rec
ogni2ed head Of the detective depart
mCnt, and several men have been sug
pested to head this important branch
Of the police service. IL is rumored
in police circles that n former mem
ber OF the department was being
backed strongly for the place OF
chief OF detectives The name Of Joe
Duran, now a member OF the force,
also is being mentioned in connection
with the place. Duran for number
of years was a member Of the depart
mont, but soon after the reorganiZa-
ton under Assistant to the Chief II.
II. Townsend the former detective was
dropped from the roster. He was re-
placed, however, after several OF the
members OF the merchants commit
tee had made an investigation Of the
record Of Duran and found that ne
had established himself AZ one of the
hardest working and most efficient
workers Of the force.
While not officially designated as
such. Townsend Is doing plainclothes
work and with offices in the chiefs
office is looked upon to lead In the

partment patrol drivers and office

I'VE are going to remedy these
conditions as quickly as possible,

PEACE IMPOSSIBLE"

"Our adversaries, who had II in
their hands to examine the proposition
rs 10 its contents, neither attempted
an examination nor made counter pro-
posals, Instead they declared that
peace was impossible long as the re-
establishment Of violated rights and
liberties, the recognition of the prin-
ciples OF nationalities and the free
existence OF small states were not
guaranteed"
The sincerity which our adversary
denies to the proposals Of the four
allied powers will not be conceded by
the world TO these demands, II the
world holds before it's eyes the fate
OF the Irish people, the destruction OF
the liberty and independence OF the
Boer republic, the subjugation of
northern Africa by England, France
and Italy, the suppression OF Russian
alien nations and also the violation Of
Greece which is without precedent IN
history.

Against the pretended violations
Of the laws Of nations by the four al
lies (Teutonic) these powers are not
entitled TO complain which from the

Justice and tore to pieces the treaties
