We are to prove that we can bet
ter our own condition. One way
to do this is to accumulate property.
This may sound to you like a new
gospel. You have been told that
money is the root of all evil. On
the other hand, property-money if
you please, will purchase for us the
only condition by (Which any people
can rise to the dignity of genuine
manhood: for without property
there can be no leisure. without
leisure there can be no depth Of
thought; without thought, there
can be no invention; without in.
vention there can be no progress
So wake up and work up.

BELGIANS WILD. DASH FOR FREEDOM
 MOST EXCITING

THE HAGUE.-(Special.) - The Gazette de Hollande publishes the fol- lowing report of the romantic voyage to freedom from Liege of 10S Bel gians:
 "On January 3 these men succeed ed in making their way to tug an chored near the quays at Liege. By II p. m. all were on board. Silently weighing anchor, the tug was allow ed to drift to midstream and was then driven full speed toward the Mcuse. At Wise, German sentries observed her, searchlights were turned OH and fire opened machine gun being also brought into action. But all on board except the helmsman, who was pro- tected by steel plates, kept below and suffered no hurt. The tug got free and continued her course down the river in the darkness. Her next ex- citing moment was in colliding with a barrier formed by large pieces of timber which the Germans had placed between the arches of the new rail- way bridge across the river. This failed to stop the little vessel, how ever, for she had sufficient way on her to force through, aided by her strong stem. At length che ca "a in sight of the Dutch frontier but even then a boat manned by German sen tries and a machine gun shot out across the stream ahead of hcr. The pilot, more audacious than ever, head ed for the patrol boat and cut it in two. At 2 a. m. the fugitives landed at and marched through the peaceful village of Rydsen, bawling out the 'Marseillaise.'"

AMERICA ON THE MOVE
Lane Says Country is Making Full
Steam Ahead.

Atlantic City, N. j.. Sept 10
In scathing indictments of a
Germany that seeks to master the
world "with high explosives and low
intrigue" Secretary of Interior Lane
yesterday declared that America was
making "full steam ahead in the
war" and would continue fighting
until the world had no cause to fear
kaiserism. Lane spoke at the open
ing session of the war convention OF
the chamber of commerce of the
United States. "We are determined
on war. That is settled" he said
"The American people have deter
mined to resist the aggressions of a
Germany that broke her word with
us. Germany that sought to start
revolution inside our own borders,
a Germany that sought to bring enc
mics upon US from the outside, while
we were at peace with her, a Ger
manv that in violation of her own
word sank the ships that we sent to
feed the starving Belgians, Ger
MANY whose national policy was 10
teach each nation to distrust every
other nation, whose military policy
was to spread terror, whose naval
policy was to prey upon neutrals.
He declared Germany IS IAN Or
panized ambition that is hostile to
the worlds peace" and that is the
enemy of the world. "If there is a
hetter Germany inside of her and
she will show it, she can be restor-
ed to the family of nations as a
friend. But we have determined that
we will fight the Germany that Is
revealed, the spying, intriguing, ter
rorizing Germany" He predicted the
war would end when Germany knows
that she must give hostage to keep
the peace in the future.
