Mercenaries i'm Flanders
Graft Right and Left; Ber-

Movement Dying, However
Under Growing Antipathy
of Populace
Especial Dispatch to The Tribuno)


WASHINGTON, July 25.-The i'm
portance of the separatist mannuvre
of the Germans in Belgium has been
exaggerated abroad, according to the
testimony of Belgian who has just
escaped from the occupied territory,
says report made public by the Bel
gian Legation. The largest number
OF activists, as the separatists are
called, was 1900 in February, but
the number has decreased since then
owing to the anti-activist campaign
conducted in Flanders. The popula-
tion is 6,50O,O0O.
In Flemish communes the Germans
have given special facilities of trans
port and purchase of certain commod-
ltles to the activists, who are mon
opolizing trade and are able to under
fell their competitors. In this man.
ner the little band of traitors is main
tanned. One of their organizations was
set up in Brussels, but the citizens
boycotted it.
Are Grabbing Offices
"A similar policy with regard to the
actlvlsts has been pursued lately in
every department of life" the report
states. "Some of them fill several Off
ces, being at the same time professors
in the German Flemish University at
Ghent and chiefs of some departments
of the new Flemish Ministry in Brus-
sells. The place of every patriot who
resigned was filled by some activist
without any claim or right to it.
"This policy is not without some in
cOOVnnirrca wDan Gooiipo uJirn cucb q
motley crowd of shady characters.
About dozen activists who had been
given important posts in the new ad-
ministration have had to be dismissed
for accepting bribes.
"No doubt the governor general
would have tried to adapt the same
method with regard. to judges and
magistrates if he had not been con-
fronted with the recent strike of all
Belgian courts which followed the de-
portation of the two presidents of the
Brussels Court of Appeals. In this
case, however, he was obliged to nomi
nate German magistrates, as he could
not find any reliable man on his
activist staff.
Germans in a Dilemma
"The importance of the separatist
man9uvre has been greatly exaggerated
abroad, and those who come from Bel
gium cannot understand the importance
attached to it unless it is due to the
indirect influence of the German press.
"The Germans are in cruel dilem-
ma. Desiring to represent the move
ment as spontaneous and popular, they
avoid as much as possible using their
bayonets to protect their agents. The
patriots have not been long in using
this opportunity. The activist has be-
come the scapegoat on which they un-
burden their indignation after three
Years and a half of relentless oppres-
sion.
"The separatist movement has
strengthened the morale of the Bel
gians instead of deteriorating it. The
pact made by the activists with the
enemy stirred the peoples deepest en-
ergies. In shaking hands with the Ger
man Chancellor the members of the
Council of Flanders have prevented
many from having anything to do with
the humblest of his representatives in
Belgium"

A MIGHTY MAN POWER.

THOSE who realize the seriousness of this war must be
pleased with Secretary Bakers recommendation for
extending the registration age limits to eighteen and
foy-fye instead Of from nineteen to thy-sx as hnted
In forecasts Of the war departments plans Those who
have criticized the war secretary for hesanoy about going
in at full strength can withdraw that criticism now, for
the lnest program plans to make available full mill
tay strength or as much Of shall be needed to whip
the Hun
The extensions contemplated will If adopted. provide
sufficient class one men counting those registered or
in the service for an army OF between eight and nne mil
lions, according to estimates 1t is quite conceivable that
we shall need that many or more although IT is hoped
not Should they be needed America may rejoice that 1t
has the men to give and should realize with proper
humility and gratitude that such force would mean
less for America than allies have already done
Ihould we equal in proportion the mobilization Of France,
we should have army OF nearly twenty million men
That, owing to difficulties Of transportation and sub
ssence so far from the home base might be impossible
But Canada with problems somewhat similar to our own
has given 100000 soldier, from eight million population
For America to equal that record would mean ten million
loldiers under our flag.
These plans for larger army also an added bur
len of labor for those who remain in civilian life Work
must go on or the war will fail matter how valiant
,ur troops may be- To further thc mobilization OF man
power for the essential industries the age extension will
also prove effective 1t will enable the application OF the
work or fight order to million, men, and place the
great bulk Of the nations workers under control OF the
government or at least subject to call at any time.
This war has called for the full strength, nearly
that Of all the nations engaged. Except that came in
late which is no cause Tor undue qualification and that

front there is reason why America should expect

special iavors; why should tope to win without ex-
ertng our full strength to the greatest advantage AT
least, such concerted and powerful exeron will hasten
the end of the war in the right way.
Secretary Bakers recommendation, possibly with slight
notifications is to be approved by congress, for
congress has backed the administration in every essential
war measure This message from the secretary of is
in line with President Wilson's declaration for "force
without stint" 1t should have the approval OF every red
blooded and loyal American.

I think IRE retirement OF the forces
Of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Ba-
yaria in the north is the best evidence
that the Hun is aware that General
Foch has the edge in numbers and the
ability to carry the fighting towards
