 '. In telegram from London my Ambassador informed me he under stood the British Government would guarantee neutrality of France and wished to know whether Germany would refrain from attack. I tele- graphed to 1T. M. the King personally that mobilization being already car r1ed out could nQt be stopped but if H. M. could guarantee with his armed forces the neutrality of France I would refrain from attacking her, leave her alone and employ my troops elsewhere. H. M. answered that he thought my offer was based on a mis- understanding and as far as 1 can make out Sir E. Grey never took my offer into serious consideration. He never answered 1t. Instead he de- clared England had to defend Belgian neutrality, which had to be violated by Germany on strategical grounds, news having been received that France was already preparing to enter Belgium and the King Of the Belgians having refused my petition for free passage under guarantee of his countrys free dom. am most grateful for the Pres ident's message.

KAISER JUSTIFIES
 BELGIAN INVASION
"Strategical Grounds" His Plea
 in Message to Wilson

Philadelphia, Aug. 6.-The Public ment of ex-Ambassador James w. Gerard's book My Four Years in Germany, which records the Ameri- can diplomats experiences at the German court until the entrance of the United States into the great war, the autograph fac-simile of cable let ter written in English by Emperor William to President Wilson on Aug ust 10, 1914. In the facsimile repro duction words and phrases appear crossed out, interlined and under scored in the Kaiser's own handwrit- ing and the letter is addressed per- sonally to the President as Wilhelm IFS version of how the world war be- gan.
 Because of Emperor Williams "cal- culated indiscretion' embodied in an interview in the London Daily Tele- graph on October 2s, 1908, and later authenticated by the German For eign Office in Berlin with the com ment that it was intended by the Kaiser "as a message to the English people," the German Emperor bound himself to subject henceforth any ex
 
 bridle of the Ministry and the Coun- lcil of the Empire.
 On this account, and by official re- quest in Berlin, Ambassador Gerard suppressed this cable message to Pres ident Wilson, which the Kaiser in Au- gust, 1914 gave him for publication.
 It now appears by special permis- sion of the President as g. document dated later than Chancellor Von Beth mann HollWeg's speech in the Reich stag of August 4, 1914, which gave the then German official account of how the war began, and dated also after the German declaration of war against France. Differing materially from the previous official German versions of the wars beginning. MT. Gerard says that the imperial rescript to the President will be regarded by future historians of the world war as 8 unique original document.

RACE TO WASHINGTON
General Manager of Remington Co. Goes to Capital and Union Officials Quickly Take Up His Trail

Bridgeport, Aug. 6.-H. H. Pinney, general manager of the Remington Arms company, left for Washington this morning to present to the federal authorities the company's side of the labor controversy under which about 800 polishers at the plant have been on strike for two weeks.
 It was expected that conference would be held this morning between the union and officials of the company and meeting of the strikers had been arranged for this afternoon to con- sider the report on this conference. When John J. Flynn and James Darr, members of the international executive board of the union, learned, however, that MT. Pinney had left the city, they took the next train for Washington so as to lay out ground and present the mems side to the authorities there.
 About twenty of the strikers have returned to work, the union men say. and the rest. they say. will await de- yelopments in Washington.

Net Closing on Lens.

| Canadian Headquarters in France, 1 Aug. 5.-Another forward movement 1 to the southwest of Lens has been made with a minimum loss. For the best part of two weeks in the Cote du Moulin our patrols and those or the enemy have been living an uneasy life almost side by side, with only al few tumble-down walls between them. Small attacking parties set out yester-3 day afternoon from that part of the
 Cote du Moulin already in our hands and drove in the enemys patrols along
 a front of thousand yards. Tho
 Germans for the most part scuttled
 back toward Lens but a number were
 caught under our fire and killed.
 new outpost line was established and
 prepared for a counter attack. No
 counter attack had been made up~ to the time of filing this despatch.
 This advance carries the Canadians
 we'll within a thousand yards of the
 center of Lens on the western front or the city At Avion and Leauvitte on
 the south front our outposts are now about a mile from the center, and Tn the northwest sector, opposite St. Laurent our line is a scant fifteen hundred yards from the heart of Lens.
 The net is fast closing. : &
 remarka ble story is told concern ing the cool bravery of one of our arr tillery observation officers. The post from which he had been observing the effect of cur gunfire was an ex cellent one for the purpose. The Ger man gunners, knowing it was beins put to use as an observation post. .de- termined to destroy the building They began shooting at it early in the morning and continued firing on the structure throughout the day, using in all considerably more than three hundred rounds at a cost of many thousands of dollars.
 The building rocked and swaycd under the impact of bursting shells, but only twice during the day did, the observer leave his post. Once he did so to report that the top of his peri scope had been carried away by a bursting shell. On the second occa- sion he told his battery commander over the telegraph wire that the boches had forced him out for few minutes by throwing part of an adj jacent building upon that in which his post was located. His devotion to duty under constant peril enabled gum ners to continue their work on day when aeroplane observation was ini- possible.

A huge argument followed over whether or not both the men were German, but John Plumbo had a little American flag, a red cross button and a Liberty Bond button on his coat lapel and he must have been a gypsy and not a German. The men made so much hubbub about it however, that Police man McAvoy arrested them on the charge of breach of the peace. Judg- ment was suspended.
