WAR'S BARBARITIES
GERMANS CHARGETO
BELGIANS' CRUELTY
Newspaper Reporter Says
Teutons Acted Moderately
in Presence of Enemy's
Frightful Atrocities.
"A cry of Indignation hns been called
forth throughout the world." writes W
Schcurmann. a correspondent of several
German newspapers who accompanies tho
Mprmnn General Staff, "bv tho so-called
'cruelty with which the Germans arc car
rying on this war In all countries that
get their news through English and
French source stories of German bar
barism are repeated It K therefor
doubly the duty for a war correspondent

seen, to report what he saw and what
ho can answer for before the forum of j
historical truth I

Lends Its Aid to Scientific Research
Work.
Some eight months ago the Canadian
Government onteied into contracts for
the constt uction of a 72-inch icilectlng
telescope, with the J. A. Brashenr Com
pany for the optical parts nnd the War
ner & Swnsey Company for the mounting.
This telescope, which will be considerably
larger than any In use, will bo of the most
modern typo and will be used principally
In the determination of stellar radial ve
locities, sajs Science. The progressive
pollcj of tho Canadian Government In the
encouragement of scientific research, as
evidenced by the order for this magnifi
cent Insttumont, has now been rendered
doubly effective by authoilzing nt n very
considerable additional expense, the to
tal outlay being upvvatd of $200,000, Its In-
1 stallatlou In tho best astronomical loca
tion in tho Dominion.
Investigations hao been In progress for
upward of a e,ir nt five places, repre
sentative of different climatic conditions
1 In the country. The region around Vlc
totla, B. C, so much excelled all others.
Including Ottawa. In the two most im
portant particulars, the "3eelng" or
steadiness and quality of definition,
and the small daily temperature va
riation, while being at least equal In
otner qualifications, that it was strongly
1 recommended to the Government by tho
I chief astronomer as the site foi the telescope.
The Government of the Province of
Btltl.sh Columbia, on being approached for
help toward the additional eost of loca
tion away from Ottawa, generously con
tributed $10,000 for tho purchase of the
necetsary laud nnd agreed to build a load,
which will cost about J20.000, to the cho
nun site, which Is at the summit of S.ia
ulch 11111, altitude 732 feet, about eight
miles north of Victoria
Immediately on the decison of tho Do
minion Government in favor of this site,
."0 acres of land wore purchased around
the summit of the hill, and arrangements
were concluded for the construction of the
road this fall. This road will be upvvnrd
of a mile and a half In length, leading
from tho main rond and the elecliic rnll
way at the foot of the hill by a 7 per cent,
giado to tho summit.
Building operations will begin early In
191.1, nnd the dome should be ready for
tho telescope In the fall of that jenr.

SECOND VON MOLTKE
HAS YET TO FULFIL
TRADITION'S DEMAND
Name of German Army's
Head the Synonym for In
vincibility in War Quali
ties Not Dazzling.
For nine years another Mpltlte Teutonic
Bynonym for Invincibility In war-has
been chief of the gTeat General Staff of
I the German army. The decisive arbitra
ment of tho present campaign will b
necensary to determine whether Lieuten
ant General Hclmuth von Moltke, nephew
of tho "Organizer of Victory," Is entitled
to his celebrated uncle's other sobriquet
of "The Battle Winner." Hla suprem
war lord, the Katser, and the tremendous
organization of 6,000,000 officers and men
which Lieutenant General von Moltke
heads at einy rate have unalloyed confi
dence In his ability to vindicate the tra
ditions entrusted to his keeping. Mean
time, emulating tho habits which gav
tho conqueror of France still nnother pop
ular title, "The Great Sllonce Keeper,"
Von Moltke's energies, wrltee Frederic W.
Wile, In tho Chicago Tribune, are devoted
to hammering Into still more deadly per
fection the mightiest wnr machine the
world has yet known. The victories which
the German army has won In the first
six weeks of the wnr arc a striking trib
ute to his genius.
Von Moltke succeeded a brilliant sol
dlcr, Count von Schlleffen, nt the General
Staff on January 1, 3906. He had had a
somewhat more than ordinary career In
the army up to that time, won his lieuten
ancy nnd Iron Cross In the field as a
stripling In the Franco-Prussian cam
paign nnd acquitted himself creditably In
various grades of the service until ha
renchod his llcutennnt genornlcy In 1902.
But men Inside and outside the army
looked askance on his elevation to ths
post so long adorned by Schlleffen. They
declared he owed It primarily to Em
peror William's passion for the plctur
eque and a gnawing desire once again to
have the magic name of Moltke at the
head of tho "brains department" of ths
German army.
SCOFFEtlS RUB THEIR EYES.
Detractors were destined to have their
skepticism dramatically undermined. Hav
ing scoffed at Von Moltko as a decoratlvs
figure, they rubbed their eyes over ths
first "Kaiser maneuvers" held under his
auspices before he had been at the Gen
eral Staff ten months. The great autumn
mimic campaign for years past hod been
distinguished by operations which that
oft-quoted marshal of Kmnce would have
called "magnificent but not war." Ths
Knlscr had an unconquerable passion for
thrilling cnvulry charges over bare fields.
which would make splendid cinema films,
but mat the lives of n division In war.
With the taunts of his rivals ringing In
his ears that he was a "Kaiser staff
chief" pure and simple, Von Moltke's first
Innovation was ruthlessly to obliterate
the picturesque from the autumn maneu
vers and substitute grueling, practical op
erations night fighting, roreed marches
and nil the other trappings of "real" war.
Count Schlleffen, who hnd opposed Wil
liam II's predilection for pvrotTlinicp,
had finally to leave the General Staff In
disfavor. Von Moltke. revenllng a will of
steel, succeeded speedily where his emi
nent predecessor had failed. Ills growth
In the esteem of the army was consistent
and rapid thenceforth. That the Germtn
army today is essentially "workmanlike"
Is to a large degree the achievement of
Its present chief of staff.

von Moltke served ns adjutant to his dis
tinguished uncle ot tho General Staff from
18S1 until the Field Marshal's death In
1S31 While, escorting the latter to th
grave Emperor William Informed the then
Mnjor Von Moltk that he had derided to
elevate him to the rank of a personal
aide de camp Five vears of serv ee In the
Kaiser's entourage were succeeded by
regimental nnd divisional commands In
tho guards until in 1901 Emperor William
created a quartermaster generalship at
the Gencrnl Staff, hitherto filled only in
war time, and designated Lieutenant Gen
eral von Moltko to occupy It. The post Is
that of a vice e-hlnf and von Moltke was
thenceforth looked upon as Count Schllef
fen's eventunl successor.
Von Moltke's qualities are not of the
dazzling order Bulky and stockv of ex
terior, with tho ungainly outlines of s
Bismarck, blue eyed nnd blondlsh grav
haired, taciturn to a degree, a famed
characteristic of the Mecklenburgers anil
Schlesvvlg-Holsteincre, from which the
Moltkes have sprung, the chief of the
General Staff Is a man of Indomitable
force, unfailing candor and mental ca
pacity more distinguished for mnlty than
scintillating brilliancy. He cares far le"
