W) STRUGGLE PLANNED i BY ALLIES IN 1906, GERMANY STATES Kaiser's Staff Declares Bel gian Archives Show De tails of Campaign Were Arranged Eight Years Ago BKRLIN, Oct. 13 As long ago as 1906 llngland and Bel glum had worked out military and naval plans In sase Germany should ever in vade Belgium, according to a statement given oat by the German General Head quarters This statement Is based upon reports found In the archives of the Belgian Gov ernment nt Brussels. Theso reports detail a plan by which the English were to land an expeditionary army In Belgium, which was to be fed and transported In Belgium and to bo nerved by Belgian spies nnd Interpreters. The report of the German General Hondquarttrs follows: "German military authorities, search ing the archives of Hie Belgian General ritaff at Brussels, discovered a portfolio Inscribed "KngllBh Intervention In Bet glum,' which contains some Important documents. "One of these Is a report to tho. nel. glan Minister of War, dated April 10, 1908, which gives the result of detailed nego tiations between the chlof of tho Belgian General Stnrt and tho British Military attache nt Brussels, IJeutenant Colonel Bemardlston. This plan Is of English origin and was sanctioned by Lieutenant General Sir .Tames M. Grlerson, chief of the British General Staff. It sets forth the Btrength and formation and designates landing places for an expe ditionary force of KMX0OO men. It gives the details of a plan for tho Belgian Gen eral Staff to transport, feed and find quarters for these men In Belgium, and provides for Belgian Interpreters. Tho landing places designated nro Dunkirk, Calali and Boulogne. Lleutcnnnt Colonel Bemardlston is quoted as having remarked thaWfor tho present Holland could not bo rellca upon. "Another confidential communication declares that the British Government, nftor the destruction of tho German navy would send supplies and provisions l.v way of Antwerp. There Is also tho sug gestion from the English military nttache that a Belgian system of espionage should be organized In tho Prussian Rhlneland. "A second document Id a map showing the strategical positions of the French army and demonstrating the existence of a Tranco-Bolglmi agreement, nnd a third Is a report from Baron Grelndl.'the Bel gian Minister at Berlin, to tho Belgian Foreign Office, dated December 23, 1911." PARIS, Oct 13. Roland do Mires, editor of L'lndepend ence Beige, who Is In Tarls, writing in tho Temps, dpnlcs absolutely tho respon sibility of King Albert of the Belgians for tho present war. Tho Frankfurter Jleltung charged that King Albert was won over for tho ambitions of France and England. "It Is false," M. do Maros writes, "that King Albert began negotiations with Eng land Tho opinion was current that In case of nn invasion Belgium could no longer expect aid fiom England, although it obtained aid In 1870. This fact was used as nn argument by those favoring thn recent augmentation of tho Belgian army. It is false that King Albert at tho ond of July and bofore war vas de clared, secrotly asked the King of Eng land for protection, slnco at that moment tho King was certain that Germany would respect Belgian neutrality. "It Is falso that the King of tho Bel gians proposed to form a group of neu tral States In crntrnl Europe." "WILLIAM THE ASSASSIN," NAME APPLIED TO KAISER Action Toward Belgium History's Greatest Crime, Lord Curzon States. y LONDON, Oct. 13. Lord Curzon of Kedleston. formerly Viceroy of India, addressing tho masters nnd boys at Harrow School last evening, raldt "Germany's action toward Belgium Is tho greatest crime In history. Tho Ger man Emperor's name will go down to posterity as 'William tho Bloodstained' and 'William tho Assassin.' " Regarding th duration of the war. Lord Cuizon expressed the opinion that "more than one Chilatmas would pass before the soldiers returned home." "Germany has taken Antwerp to for tify It, to keep it, to make a great naval port of It, to use It as a great Jumping off place for h r future attempts upon this country. It is no temporary occupa tion unless wo mako it. so " Lord Kurzon added that by fortifying Antwerp Germany would obtain a grip on the whole of Belgium, make Holland play her will and then settle down to her main object tho destruction of this coun try. He said England was In for a long war and declared he was shocked that some people should think the hostilities would bo over by Christmas, In closing he advised his hearers not to begin to divide up the German empire "before you have got hold of it." TO SHELTER FOR BRITONS IF ZEPPELINS COME Populace "Warned to Seek Refuge in Cellars. LONDON. Oct JS. A proclamation was posted by the Mayor of Gravesend, the gate of London, warning people what to do In the cent of a raid by Zeppelins. "The only notice which will be given of tho arrival of hostile air craft In the Thames or Medway," says the procla mation, "will be the firing of guns from the defenses. "Persons seeking to gratify their curl osltl will do so at their own risk. When tiring is heard tho people should imme diately take shelter In the lower rooms or cellars of their buildings." It is believed that the object of the German .Unships may not be London to much as Woolwich, where Is the great Brltlth arsenal.

MINOR HORRORS OF TOLD IN The following Is from n letter written on Sundaj, August M by Otho Bromfleld, of the Signal Section (Territorials), Royal Engineers! 'I'm doing and going as I'm told, not worrying, but taking things as they come. I've slept In barns, wool stores, cinemas, casinos, dneV aliens, anil for a bit had the stars as n. counterpane. Tho fighting has been very fierce and close AW aro outnumbered, sometimes 10,000 to 2000, but our boys stick to them Tho Maxims have cut them down like corn, ahd vv hen vv o charged with llxtd bayonets run like rats. They will get no quarter from our 'mob.' Their dead were so thick that their reinforcements couldn't ndvanco over the lop, Of course, we lost, too." Fred Wilson, of the 5th Royal Irish Lancers, who was wounded at Mons and reached Leeds Invalided, says he has seen tho Germans bayonet British wounded as they camo across the field, and force women and children In front of them as tlioy passed our guns. He reckons nothing of tho fighting powers of tho Germans. "They are," he bivs, "simply whining, howling cowards. They were fairly peppered In five charges, and when their cavalry saw us coming (hey whined like dogs Our blood was up after wit nessing their tcrrlblo atrocities " The British soldiers, he odds, sing and Jest whllo bullets are dying thick and fast. William Henry Farrol, a reservist, of the Hoynl Warwickshire Regiment, who waH wounded In tho battlo at Mons, says he had not been long In the field hos pltal, where there were between 200 nnd 300 wounded soldiers, before the order camo for all men who could walk to clear out at once, as tho Germans worn firing on the hospital, and he had not been out an hour before It was completely blown up, and many officers and men must have perished. MYSTERY IS MADE OF LOADING TRUCKS ON BRITISH VESSEL Detectives and Police Guard Docks as 400 Heavy Motor Vehicles Are Put on Board Ship. NEW YORK, Oct 13. Now Yorkers may have not noted the fact last night, but every now and then down Sth nvenue, 5th avenuo and other asphalted streets accessible) to the East Rlvor bridges rolled peculiar-looking motor trucks. These trucks Anally under their own power brought up at tho Fabre Line pier nt tho foot of 3lst street. South Brook lyn. There on the pier thoy Joined other motor trucks, not ono or two or a dozen, but about 300 of them, ranging from one ton and a half to Ave tons and every once In a while a truck would swing around, strike a track and move for ward, where It was In reach of the der rick of a big crane. Then tho crane would lift the truck, no matter what Its weight, high In the nlr and landing It on the deck or In the hold of the Barker liner Surugn, Just out of tho Far East and duo to sail Saturday, whither no one seemed to know. New York policemen yesterday after noon for some reason prevented nonde script citizens from approaching the pier. No ono seemed to know why the police men were there except to preserve order, but later last night they had gone away and only private detectives wore to bo hcen. These men seemed to think that some foreign country had ordered a lot of farm wagons. They knew nothing further. Then as Packard motors, Gar ford motors and motors of other makes rolled in they said they had other things to do than to answer questions. It has been announced already that the Packard "ompany, with the White, the Plerce-i.riow and three other companies liavo contracted to sell 1760 motor trucks to France and England for y,000.000. To this list has been added the Ga.'ford Company, which is said to be shipping all the way from 150 to 300 nve-ton trucks to Russia. None of the trucks which Jammed tho big pier last night aro designed for fight ing, but they can be utilized for carrying supplies, or, at a pinch, for transporting men Their cost Is said to be $4300 each. The Suruga files tho British flag Men of her crew at the pier last night said she was going to start somewhere on Satur day. They did not know where she was going, but they believed a British war ship was going to see her safely on her way. They estimated that about 400 motor trucks, fully equipped and ready for work, will fill her holds and crowd her decks.

Louis and Jian also arc dead. All of the brothers Koso have disappeared. Mother Is crjlng, but naVs you must go to avenge .lean, the had of our family and tho holder of tho Cross of the Legion of Honor You must cam it now. Eight of us have been killed. Do your duty." An Incident humorous and yet gravely significant occurred on the occasion of the Kaiser's visit to fit. Petersburg be foro the Iranco-nuslnn alliance. Sev erai Cossack troops were drawn up for Inspection by tho Kaiser. As he viewed them he was attracted by a. beautiful BWord carried by a Cossack officer. "May I see It?" ho Inquired. "I know that the swoids of tho Cossacks are excellent. Is It nn heirloom?" "Yes, your Majesty," replied tho of ficer. "It Is a very old one." The Knlser took thu swoid and rend the engraving on It. Then, with a smile, ho returned the sword. The engraving was! "God give me opportunity to lead my horso to drink from the Spree (tho .river on which Berlin Is located)." "I hope you will ho successful," said the Kaiser, "and fully accomplish tho desire of your ancestor." This ofTlcer is now at tho head of ona of the troops in Russia's first line. Not only on tho battlefield Is the British soldier showing his grit, as an Incident related by a member of tho Royal Armv Medical Corps, now Invalided home, shows. Relating his experiences, ho says: "It was wonderful how cheerful tho wounded were. Ono poor fellow, who had been shot In tho head and hit by a shrapnel bullet In tho mouth and was apparently dying, pointed out to mo nn othcr man, badly wounded, remarking, "That poor bloke Is going home; ho will be homo before me." STRUGGLE ON AISNE ENDED, NEW BATTLE RAGES, SAYS WRITER Field Marshal French Re ported to Have Said Pres ent Engagement Will Be Brief and Decisive. PARIS, Oct. 13. The line of battle now covers 100 miles. It forms a letter z, beginning nlmost at tho sea, passing north of Lille, running south toward Complogne, ending near Verdun. The axis has chanced. The battle front is west nnd north For three weeks the Germans have con centrated their forces on tho west. Day and night thoy have striven with might and main to make a breach In the oppos ing ranks. Tho heavy artillery and rides havo rarely been silent. The French have not merely recovered every foot of ground lost in tho long series of actions fought about Roye, but havo also de veloped with astounding rapidity and suc cess their advnnco toward the north. To meet this ndvanco tho German cavalry Is operating north of Lill, mov ing westward. Its purpose Is to threaten this exposed dank and mask another en veloping movement. Theso familiar tac tics are not likely to succeed. It Is no secret that for some tlmo the Germans havo been withdrawing mon from tho Alsne In order to strengthen their right wing, which constantly has been engaged. When the advance began two dajs ngo many of tho enemy's trenclips were found to bo empty. They must have been aban doned for several days, though the Ger mans kept up tho appearance of un diminished strength by continuous rlflo fire, much noise and a dally concert. In which the nccordlon was tho chief or chestral Instrument. This Is a trick the Jnpaneso often played with success In Manchuria, but the ruse served no useful purpose. Tho allied armies on the Alsno were await ing developments elsewhero and chose their own time. In the last few days the Allies' right flank has been strongly relnfoiced to meet tho new change of battle front which we havo Imposed on the enem ana not mo enemy on us. The moment has now arrived for re newed activity. On the south near Sols sons the French began by getting a bat tery into position that enabled them to cutllade some Gorman trenches on the plateau. 1 WoiadepSWJ for ffee h -Ja iff MA r j Now every deaf person can learn by actual trial, without a cent's risk or a cent in advance, the remarkahle snner-1 lonty of the famous the easyhearincr device in Nature's wav bv exclusive nntpntfrl Inrltmrt .'V 1.

Looking out of the windows of a Ger man military train, when it stopped nt Charterol ono morning, I saw a German soldier bending over a flower bed on the grounds of tho railway station, says an Alx-la-Chapello correspondent of the New York Sun He seemed to bo attentively examining the flowers. As he knelt there he frequently moved his hands gently among the blossoms, as If he were caress ing them. "See," I said to one of my companions, "there Is that beautiful German love of flowers again. With the ruins of whole streets of this town still smoking, this private soldier finds time to ndmlro a flower bed that lina escaped destruc tion." Wo grow riulte sentimental about tho matter. Suddenly the man ioso from his knees nnd with him there enmo from the flowors a telephone receiver and two or three jnrds of tctcphono wire. Straightening himself he put the re ceiver to his car and spoke rapidly. We could hear some of tho words. They ap peared to bo a repetition or verification of certain orders. The flower bed and tho soldier were on the left of the train. On tho right and at a greater distance we saw the par nllcl streets of unroofed houses. From their cellars nnd shattered floors clouds of smoke ioso lazily Into the sunshine. As tho train was puling out with Its burden of silent German wounded, of dlsconsolato French and English pris oners, and of fretted correspondents who had been suavely assured that thoy were "guests" of tho German army, tho sol dier censed speaking nnd doftly replaced tho telephone receiver and the wlro among the flowers The German system was woiklng. In every Instance and everywhere It appears to work that way. They havo a place for everything, nnd they put everything In Its place. This sistem Is a curious combination of simple household and ofllce routine, of craft and of overwhelming prowess. As for the stupendous phases of the system, tho mind Is staggered by them. These men, ou say to yourself, think of the llttlo things and do the big things.
