COOL LOGIC MARKS
BELGIAN ATTITUDE
TOWARD GERMANY
Treaties in Ink Violated,

Blood, So Plucky Little;
Kingdom Fights Against

ANTWEHP, Sept. 1 (By Cornier to Os
tein! ami Mall to Now YorU.
The little HelKlati sol'lle-r who climbed
Into the cempattment Wns tleail tired; lie
trailed Ills rlllo behind him. threw himself
Into the feat uml fell sound asleep llo
was ready to talk when he awoke' an
hour later.
"Yea. I was up all night with German
prisoners," he tatd. "It x as a bad Job.
Ther were cnly sixteen ot us to handle
MO Germans. Wc hud four hoxcars, and
ys put 25 prisoners tn one end of tho
ear and '!' at the ottfr. and then four
of us with rifles sat guard b the i-ardoor-
"Viv rode me hours that way. ami I

eelds. Cut wc have to do it. You see
there ar:n't tnoUKh ruldleis In HelKium
tn do nil the work, so wo h.nc to make
cut tho best we can."
Thai's the plucky llttlo IlelKUn soldier
nil over. In the first place he's Olfftrtnt
irom most foldlers, because he Is ullllne
to tight when ho knows he's going to
lose.
"Wc have to make out the best we
can," is his motto. In the second place,
lie's a common sense little fellow. Even
while he's lighting he's doing It coolly,
and there Is no blind hatred In his heart
that causes him to waste any effort. Ho
cots down to the why anil wh?icfore of
thine.
"1 really; felt fcorry lor those German
prisoners," said a comrade of the ilrst
soldier. "They were all decent fellows.
They told me their officers had fooled
them. They said the officers save them
French money on the German frontier
and then yelled to them: 'On to France!"
They went on for three das and got to
Liege before they know they were in
Belsium instead of France.
" 'Wc didn't want to hurt Belgium,'
they told us, 'because we're from Alsace-I-orralne
ourselves.'
"You see," continued the logical little
Belgian, "It wasn't their fault, so we
couldn't be mad at thorn."
That Is the Belgian idea cool logic.
"Why did you tight the Germans'."' a
hisli Government official was aBkcd.
"Because civilization can't eslst with
out treaties and It Is the duty that a
nation owes to civilization to fight to the
death when written treaties are broken,"
was the reply. "It must be a rule amonpr
nations that to break a treaty means to
flsht. The Germans broke the neutrality
with Belgium and v;e had to fight."
"But did you expect to whip the Ger
mans'.'" ''
-'-UoAV PouMi we? We knew that hordes
of Germans would follow the first comers,
but wo had no right to worry about who
nouid be whipped: all we had to do was
to fight, and we've done it the best we
could."
It has been a cool-headed, logical mat
ter with the Belgians, from the start.
Treaties are mdc with Ink; they're
broken with blood, and Ju:-t as naturally
and coolly as, the Belcian dlnlnniats used
Ink In signing the treaties with Germany,
so the Belglin soldiers have used their
blood in trying to maintain the agreements.
FOOTBALL G'VES RELIEF
TO ENGLAND'S SORROWS
Managers Decide to Continue Game
During Winter Months.
LONDON. Sept. IS.
Football and its relations to the war
continues to be the subject of earnest
discussion both In England and in Scot
land. Despite the recent stateni"nt of
Lord Roberts that "this is no time for
games." the trend of opinion among
football managers is that it would be
unwise, rather than the contrary, to
abandon thl3 scheduled winter sport.
J. McKenna, Liverpool, presided over
r meeting of the management commit
tee of the English Football League in
London yesterday. At this great crisis
in the history of tho British nation, he
said, they desired to make the following
public pronouncement:
When scores of thousands have
gone, and score's of thousands must
follow, there will b millions of peo
ple who must remain behind, and
In other ways lend all possible aid.
In considering the course to be
adopted with reference to our jrreat
winter game, we art not unmindful
of th clays of e-n borrow now with
us and yet to come, days when the
dark clouds that surround us will
oppress and appall us. To ?lt and
moan is to aggravate the nation's
sorrow.
Any national sport which can mini
mize the grief. hlp the nation to
bear Its sorrows relteve the oppres
sion of continuous strain and save
the people nt home from panic and
undue depression, is n. great national
asset which can render lasting serv
ice to the people.
We, therefore, without the slightest
reservation appeal to the clubs, the
press und tho public that our great
winter game should pursue Its usual
ourte. Especially do e appeal to
the press that the same prominence
and publicity should be given to the
reports of the game as of old
It Is reported and the committees were
gratified to hear that several clubs und
their players had arranged to make spe
cial weekly contributions to the war
funds. In nome instances percentages
of gates and percentage of wages were
I eing contributed The committee heart
ily commended such actions.
They further recommended each club
to arrange for their players to undergo
special military drill, snd arrange for
the provision of a miniature rifle range
to provide ample shooting practice.

The combat opened at dawn witn a

The Russian armies led by lienerals
Ruszky und Bmslloff are today making a
determined assault on tho Austrian centre
which holds the line from Jaroslav to
Pntmyel. The chief points of attadt are
the other forts nt Przemysl, which com
mand the .San River. The Russians art
admitted by Vienna to have occupied part
of the Przemrsl defenses to the south
of the town, but !o far they hao hevn
unable to make any ImpresMon on the
main defenses.
The fighting continues everywhere with
unabated ferocity, but the Vienna War
Office -peclflcally denies that tit any
point have the Austrian forces been
routed. The united armies of Dank! Rnd
Auffenberg command the railway lines
leading to Cracow, so that it tho exigen

ENGLAND AGAINST

MERCHANT MARINE
Controversy Over Transfer
, ,cf -Steamship Robert Dollar
to American Registry
Shows Britain's Position.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IS. The contro
versy over the transfer of the steam
ship Robirt Dollar from British to
American registry, which is occupying
the attention of the State Department,
Is expected to be the first of many such
differences,
Great Britain is prepared to make a
strong fight against tho increase of tlv.'
American merchant marine. In the rase
of the Robert Dollar, which Is being held
at Rio De Janeiro pending the settle
ment of the attempt to place this Ameri
can owned ship under American regis
tiy, British opposition has no! yet ap
peared. If (ieimuny consents to tho
tiansfcr, hocor, it is reliably icporteel
Kngland will letuse to acknowledge the
new registry.
Vl.e State Department admits that the
filiation is u delicate one. The Admin
istration's wish to iuciease the merchant
marine l swaying the department, but
tho fur of tho huizure of the vessel
on the high seato by either German or
ihicll.Nh ships Is causing worry.
Should the ship be taken, either or
both countries retuslng to recognize the
transfer of registry, the United States
would bo put in a position where It
would have to permit the seizure without
a protest or run the risk of becoming
embroiled with either of these countr es.
England, m refusing to permit th trans
fer ot British registry ships to icgistry
of in jtral powers, will eltc as authority
the cunvi ntlou of Tlr Hague which pto

KNIGHTS OF THE GARTER
TO "DEGRADE" KAISER
Name to Be Expunged From Roll of
Historic Order.
LONDON, Sept. 1". Some time during
the coming fuitnlght a somewhat painful
ceremony, wliluh happily is of rare oc
currence, will take place privately In St.
Geoige's Chapel. This will be- the re
muval of the banners and other Insignia
ot certain Knights of the Garter and the
formal pronouncement by the Garter
Klng-at-Arms that their owners are "de
graded" and "no longer lltted to be in
eluded among the honorable company of
Knlshts."
The people who will be so described are
the Kuiser, tho Austrian Kmperor, Prince
Henry of Prussia, the Grand Duke ot
Hesse and tho Crown Prince of Ger
many. Two other Knights of the tiartor whose
positions art at present giving rise to
much consideration are the King of Wur
ttemberg and the Duke of Saxe-Coburg
Gotha. They, too, may cventuallv suffer
"desratlon," though the probability of
tho latter being so treated is rather re
mote. As Is well knokn. the Duke Is
Uritii-h by birth and education and also
'lears the British title of Duke of Albany
As yet doubt exists as to whether tie
.ink actually taken the field against us
and unless it is conclusively proved that
ho fought against the British troops i
is genrrally understood that he will be
allowed to retain his Garter Knighthood
It Is Interesting to recall that the last
occasion when a "degradation ceremony"
was iw-rformcd was when the then Czar
of Russia was removed from the list of
Knight after the outbreak of the Crim
ean War.
