Copenhagen, July l3-Denial that Ger
many intended to retain Belgium was
made by Count Won Hertling, the Ger

his speech before the Reichstag main
committee on Thursday.
"The present possession of Belgium
means that we have pawn for future

have no intention to keep Belgium in
any form whatever"
What we precisely want as expressed
by us on JAN a." the chancellor contin-
ued, "is that, after the war, restored Bel
gium shall as self-dependent state not
be subject to anybody as vassal and
shall live with us in good, friendly rela-
tions."
"I have held this point of view from
the beginning in regard to Belgium, and
| still hold it to-day, This side of my
policy is fully in conformity with the
general lines, the direction of which
yesterday clearly laid before you.
"We are waging the war as a war Of
defense, as we have done from the very
beginning, and every imperialistic ten
dency and every tendency to world dom
ination has been remote from our minds.
what we want is the inviolability of
our territory, open air for the expansion
of our people in the economic domain,
and, naturally also, security in regard to
the future. This is completely in con
formity with my point of view in regard
to Belgium, but how this point of view
can be established in detail depends upon
future negotiations, and on this point
am unable to give binding declarations"

SERIOUS DIFFERENCES
OVER DRIVE ON PARIS
Stormy Session on May 16 Is
Said to Have Been Fol-
lowed by the Apoplectic
Stroke Which Resulted in
Death - Won Hindenburg
20 Years Old

Amsterdam July l3-(By Associ-
ated Press Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg is dead, according to the news
paper LIE Nouveles. His death is said
to have occurred after stormy inter
view with, the German emperor at great
headquarters.
The emperor and the field marshal are
declared to have had serious differences
of opinion concerning the German often
siye towards Paris. The field marshal
died from congestion of the brain.
The recent interview between Won Hin
denburg and Emperor William occurred
on May Is, Les Nouvelles says It was
followed by an apopletic stroke, which
ultimately resulted in Won Hindenburg's
death.
The newspaper says its information
was obtained "from good sources in the
occupied district of Belgium"
In the past six months there have
been several rumors of the death of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg and there have
been many reports that he has been in
poor health. A dispatch received in Lon
don Friday from The Hague quoted a
Dutch traveller from Germany as declar-
ing a report that the field marshal was
i'll and unable to participate in the work
at army headquarters had spread all
over Germany. German newspapers were
not permitted to mention the rumor. The
traveller added that General Ludendorff,
the first quartermaster-g general had tax
en- over the field marshal's duties as chief
of the German staff.
Keeping step with reports of the field
marshaPs health have been dispatches
from Germany indicating the field mar
shall and the emperor had had disagree
ment concerning the German offensive
movement in the west.
Late in May Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg was reported i'll with typhoid
fever at Strassburg. The field marshal
on June Is was reported by the Tribune
of Geneva to be suffering from an acute
nervous disease. The newspaper said it
was learned from a reliable source that
his mental capacity was much affected
and that he was confined in a private
sanitarium. 1t added that the field
marshal had taken no responsible part
in the offensive on the western front.
At the outbreak of the war Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburg was a general in
retirement. He was credited with evolv.
ing and carrying out the campaign
against the Russians in East Prussia,
which resulted in the serious Russian
defeat at Tannenburg, for which he
was promoted to field marshal. He con
tinued to command the German forces on
the Russian front until August 30, 1915,
when he was appointed chief of the Ger
man general staff in succession to Gen.
Won Falkenhsyen. When he became chief
of the general staff, General Ludendorff,
who had acted as his chief Of staff on the
Russian front, came with him as his
right hand man with the title of chief
quartermsster-g general.
Field Marshal Paul BeniCkendorff Van
Hindenburg was 20 years old last Sep
tember 2S.
The newspaper Les Nouvelles, which
reports the death of the German leader,
is newspaper in the French language,
published at The Hague.

TWO WRECKS IN ONE DAY.
Both Were on Freight Trains-C. ",
Passenger Service Much Delayed.

Roxbury, July l3.--fwo cars Of long
freight train were derailed Just below
the yard limits here yesterday morning
when drawbar plate fell from it's place
The cars were jack-knifed and were
nearly torn from their trucks. Both
were almost tipped down the bank, one
on either side of the track.
The morning local passenger train,
northbound was delayed about an hour
and quarter, the wonder being that the
track could be cleared and made ready
for traffic in so short time. This was
due to the fact that the deralment oc-
CURED on a fill, making it an easy task
to push the cars out of the way, and to
the further fact that the track was very
little broken up notwithstanding the ter
rife force of the derailment, the soft
ground on one side of the track being
plowed up by the tracks to consider
able depth and distance.
Conductor Edward Muldoon was in
charge of the freight, which was drawn
by engine AL Conductor Michael Pow
ers was in charge of the local and he
took an active part in the work of clear
ing the track. Three crews of section
men were on the ground early, The de-
rallied ears were empty box cars and were
much damaged besides being torn from
the trucks.
The accident occurred close to the
highway and many passersby viewed
