BERLIN IS CHAGRINED
BY DEFEAT IN WEST
Bian1es Dessrters for Betray-
ing the Fotheriand.

AMSTERDAM. July 20.-Chagrin has
been evoked in Germany by the latest
events in the west. This Is clearly re-
fiected in despatch to the Cologne
Gazette to-day. in which Its Berlin cor
respondent writes:
False hopes were perhaps pinned at
home to the launching OF this new Of
fensive. 1t cannot be the aim of every
single war operation to attain definite
detectives IN all circumstances.
"Tho victorious operations OF the third
week OF May gave r.se to various pre-
sumption in the minds of the people
which do not agree with the previous
actual conditions nor with those of to-
day. We will not refer to those who
knew precisely that Won Hindenburg
would carry out an attack on Paris. We
have no reason to conceal the fact.
There were deserters among the Ger
man troops who used their knowledge
OF the planned operations TO betray the
fatherland and their comradeS'
After referring to the Entente's coun-
ter offensive the correspondent says:
The foregoing shows that not only
east OF Rheims. but also on the Marine
We are confronted with difficult tasks.
and Won Hindenburg will in this situa-
ton not satisfy some Of the strategtsts.
at need not DO concealed that the
aim OF the recent offensive has remained
unattainable. but new conditions now all
the more urgently demand fresh de-
Cisions. TO which We look forward with
strained attention, but also with pa
tience."

PAWN SPEECH INSULT
no BELGIAN PEOPLE
Baifour Says Germany Can
not Atone for Crimes.

LoNpoN, July 20.-Foreign Secretary
Balfour was a speaker at days cele-
bration in London OF Belgium's inde-
pendence day. taking up in his address
the recent utterances of Count Won
Hertling. the German Imperial Chancel-
lor. regarding Belgium.
Mr.. Balfour called attention TO the
Chancellors announcement that he was
prepared to treat Belgium as a pawn.
That meant. declared the Foreign Secre-
tary, that the Chancellor was prepared
to give UP Belgium IL he were allowed
to retain some other territory in
Europe.
The pawn in this case meant that.
having attacked Belgium without prov
ocaton and having conquered that
country, Won Hertling now wished to
barter her as II she were so many
chattels or pawns in the game OF battle,
The greatest insult levelled against Bell
sium in the Chancellor's last speech was
when he announced that Germany did
rot intend to hold Belgium foreveri
The crimes which Germany had com
mitted against Belgium could never he
blotted out or forgotten. Mr.. Balfour
declared. II Germany we're to repent to-
morrow the crimes she had committed
against Belgium could never be wiped
out There were such things az human
conscience and human memory. and
when this war was over and Belgium
took her place among the free and In
dependent nations Of the world, it would
he vain for the Germans to apologize
for what they had done. The deeds Of
Germany in Belgium had been burned
into the conscience of mankind and
nothing would ever efface them.
Mr.. Balfour continued:
The Germans tell us, and / hope In
this respect they tell US truly, that the
war is not going TO be long war: that
peace negotiations are already visible
on the horizon. l do not associate my
self with these prophecies one way or
another. All | say Is this: When the
time comes that Europe has TO consider
around the council table how to protect
itself against a repetition of the hor-
rors and denominations for which Ger
many has been responsible 1t WHY be
impossible for European statesmen to
forget that German promise Is no
binding contract and that the peace Of
the world rests upon frail foundations,
indeed II II rests upon nothing more
solid than the solemn compact"
Reverting to the violation of Bel
GUM Mr.. Balfour said II wis crime
which behoove mankind to see. by a
league OF nations or some other ma
chinery. should never occur In the flu
ture.
