HARDEN SCORES KAISER'S
ROBBERY OF BELGIUM
A German Chancellor, Secre-
tary and Ambassador State n
Germany Guilty.

p Amsterdam, July 23.-"This is a
question of decency, morality and
honor" says Macmillan Harden in
discussing in the Die Zukunft the re-
cent statement made by Chancellor
Won Hertling concerning Belgium.
Can a country be regarded as an
estate only to be returned to the own
ers only when negotiations with
twenty other states have reached a
favorable conclusion7 Can a country
be regarded as importapt which, be-
fore 1t returns, must agree to adapt its
policy and It's entire state life to the
will Of an enemy power s.ill ruling its
soil which must guarantee that power
against British, French and American
thirst for revenge and must even be
friends Of that power and grant it
privileged confidence? -
International law forbids Germany
to retain even one pebble of Belgian
streets and commands Germany to re-
store Belgium to, the conditions before
invasion. Is Belgium, a chancellor, a
state secretary and an ambassador
have confessed. an innocent victim of
German self-defense? Then we have
to ask its forgiveness and not force
conditions upon 1t. This - question
OF the decency. morality and honor of
a nation"

Paris, july 23.-Arullery activity

Montdidier. r't. .It
American troops are on the line on
the southern edge Of this zone of fight
ing.
After attaining height of great
violence. the infantry fighting on the
Aisne- Marne- Rheims front suddenly
gave way to savage artillery dueling.
London. July 23.-Well-informed
opinion in London regards the situa-
tion on the battle front as going we'll
for the allies. 1t is not expected,
however, that the advance will be SO
rapid as previously, as the Germans
reserves into position. They are also
displaying disposition to fight for all
they are worth.
Unofficial London advices show that
in spite Of the fact that only artillery
duels We're reported from the French
war office In its day statement the
allies are making important progress
all around the salient in which the
Germans were caught by the terrific
attack Of the allies on Thursday morn
ing.
A lull along the line might have
been expected at this time, because of
the stern resistance of German re-
serves brought up by the enemy and
the necessity Of bringing up heavy ar
tilley and supplies. 1t appears. how
ever, tnat Ine momentum OF tne nlneS
has not been spent and that they are
forging ahead along virtually the en-
tire front of the battle. At S:15
o'clock this morning the French
launched an attack along four miles
front in the Montdidier sector. In
three hours they advanced n mile.
London hints that the attack was
over a wider front than that mention
ed in the dispatch. This new on
slaught directed against n front which
has been comparatively quiet since
the German offensive there came to
a halt early in June. may have an i'm
portant bearing on the development of
the military situation along the whole
front.

HUN POSITIONS ABOUT
b TO BECOME UNTENABLE
Advance of French in Region OF
Oulchy- lie Chateau Proves
Serious Menace to Enemy.

Paris, July 23.-French progress in
the region of Oulchy- Le- Chateau, says
the Echo de Paris, will soon render the
German positions in that sector un-
tenable. New forces of Gen. de Nit
rvs army have crossed the Marine be-
tween Passy and Dormans. says the
Petit Journal, which concludes that the
northern bank of the Marne in this
region will soon be cleared of the en-
emy. -,
According to a review of the mill
tary situation in L'Homme Libre, the
newspaper owned by Premier Clemen-
ceau, the German losses since March
Fl are approaching 100000 men.
Reports of the fighting in the Sois-
sons Rheims salient appearing In the
Partisan newspapers tell of fires burn
ing at Fere- En- -Tardenois and Vile
En-Tardenois. Some of these were, no
doubt, caused by bombs dropped by the
allied aviators, but 1t is believed that
the enemy is destroying stores that
cannot be moved back of the German
defensive line along the Vesle river.
Fere- En- -Tardenois Is near the west
flank of the salient while Ville-En-
Tardenois Is farther east and is quite
near the allied lines southwest of
Rheims The burning of stores in
both places may be an Indication of
general retirement from the salient by
| the Germans.

There has always been danger
that our annual Thanksgiving

the State.
But this year our hearts fore
run all proclamations, and the

souls for the universal anthem of
praise on Thanksgiving Day.
We are grateful that we did
not go to war in anger or in
haste, but soberly, reverently, in
the fear of God, and in love of
humanity.
We are grateful that our peo-
pie were given eyes to see q
righteous cause, and ears to hear
