We declare that It Is not only a great
wrong, but against tho best Intervals of
our adopted country and harmful to civili
sation at large that the great Herman
empire and its highly rlvilise. people
to whom so many of our people are
linked by the strongest ti.a of blond,
should he held up to the American public
as the foes of civilization; as barbarians,
who wantonly and without reason or
need brought this terrible ar upon
themselves and their relghbnr. Wa have
a right to expect from our fellow cltl
sens and from the preas of thl coun
try, for th independence and preserva
tion of which hundreds of thousands of
our compatriots freely she", their blood,
that they withhold th!r judgment until
the real facts and undertylng reasons
may become known, anil to abstain from
hasty condemnation until tho truth that
Germany Is not fighting a war of ag
gression, but of self preservation, may
be established. Wa expect from our tm
low citixens that they give tho German
people of Europe and their governments
tha benefit of the doubt to which they
are entitled. We appeal to them to study
the question thoroughly, weigh It care
fully, and Judge fairly, and to I -ear In
mind the historical conjunctures of Rus
sia's panslavlstlo policies, of France's
cry for revenge for the lost provinces,
which wera only recovered by Germany
aa rightful German possessions, and of
England's Well grounded fear of losing,
prestige against Germany's commercial
and Industrial ascendency. Even the
British cabinet was split on the ques
tion of who was the real aggressor.
We call attention to the notorious
editorial In the London "Haturday Re
view" some years ago, boldly stating that
England's proseiity could only be se
cured by Germany s annihilation: "it
Germany were tomorrow wiped oft of
the faca of the earth, there would not be
tba day after, an Englishman who would
t.ot be tha richer for it. The arrowth of
the German navy would but welghten
the blow England will strike. Its ships
will be sunk or taken as English prise.

Indemnities are paid, and when our work
Is done Knglsnd may say to Frano or
Russia, go take what compensation you
wish, help yourselves to any part of
Germany you like, you can have It.
Oermanla esse delendaml Down with

We also recall the wave of anti-German
agitation when British Jingoists supported
no doubt by Germany'a enemies abroad,
or ly three or four years ago, cauaed
plays to be enacted on many English
stages picturing an Invasion of England
by German troopa and committing
brutalities in English homes, for th.'
pernicious purpose of inciting national
and personal hatred. lo not such In
cidents recall to the American public
England's attitude during the civil war
and its covert support of tha confederacy?

Londoners today received the glad tid
ings that the captura of Muclhau.cn by
the French had been confirmed. The de
spatch admits the fighting was 'serious,"
but Insists that the German losses were
three times as great ns those sustained
by Frsnce.
This first serious engagement between
the Germans and French will hava an
Immenso moral effect throughout Ger
many as well as France. Brussels places
the German loss at 30.000 and tha Frcm.h
at Ifi.mo, but these figures are not offl
clnl. though coming from tha Blg1kn war
office.
The French artillery demonstrated Its
expected guperlorlty. driving tha German
guns to retreet whenever a duel oc
curred. The Germans followed helr old
fashioned mass formations and tha splen
did gunnery of the French simply mowed
men down like grain standing in tha
field. The cournge of tha Germans, how
ever, was superb. Though shot through
and through, time after time, tha lines
never wavered until ordered to retreat.
City of Meae Taken.
News about Liege Is conflicting. Re
ports said to be emanating from a Ger
man press bureau at Rotterdam, have
been received telling of the fall of Liege,
but It seems from Ister direct messages
that the forts still aro In Belgian hands
and that the Germans have simply made
a detour and taken the city. It .elf, which
Is apart from the fortifications. All
messages coming from Rotterdam seem to
he colored to show Germsn advantage,
which does not exist.
Official news from Liege received here
says that the Junction of French and Bel
gian armies has been made successfully
and tha position of defenders of tha city
Immeasurably bettered.
Italy is again threatening Austria. It
Is said that Italy has) been warned that
Austria will Invade Its provinces If Italy
does not come to the aid of Austria and
Germany at once. Italy has reiterated
Its neutrality and will remain firm In Its
refusal to Join Its ancient enemy and
erstwhile ally.
Mast Stay eatral.
Private advloes received by The World'g
correspondent at Rome and cabled here
state that Italy haa no other course open
than to remain neutral, aa tha populace
Is determined to take up the cudgels for
Scrvla and not Austria and that all the
governmental agreements' In tna world
would not change tha sentiment of the
army. Tha reason that Austria 'has not
declared war against England Is that
Austria wants England to declare war
first so that It can call on Italy under
tha Triple Alliance aa a country on tha
defensive.

BELGIAN CONSUL
ADMITS FALL OF
TEN LIEGE FORTS
(Continued from Page One.)
The same authority states tniit tho
German assertion of the capture of four
thousand Belgian prisoners is baseless
and adds that not a single Belgian
soldier remains in thj town of Liege, as
they are nil quartered n the forts.
As far as can be learned by the Belgian
guneral staff some 120,000 German troops
were engaged at Llegr. They arc said
to have been so weakened as to bo un
able, effectively to attack tho forts. On
the other hand It is argued that it is
not possible, for the forts to conccn'rate
their fire on the town of Liege itiiclf.
The next development In the situation
Is expected to be the arrival of the
Belgian army, report xl to be advancing
rapidly from Louvaln In the northwest
to attack the Genrmna occupying the
