WAR DECLARATION IS PRETEXT Kalaas-'s I.earaed It am Publish tha Declaration that John Ball Was Jealous of RrUtlvt'i Commercial Saceeas. (Corespondence of tb Associated Pre BERLIN. Sept lO.-Houeton Stewart Chamberlain, the well known Kngllsh author, who married a daughter of Rich ard Wagner, and who has lived many yearn In Germany and Austria, la deeply disappointed with England bscausa of Its declaration of war upon Germany. In a letter which lias appeared in tho German frees he says ho holds England chiefly responsible "for the terrible disaster that has broken upon Europe," and he ran pnly explain the action of England by assuming that it naa been smitten with blindness. In answer to a correspondent, who sug gested that he write a protest against England's course and have It published In England, he further wrote: "The mo ment for such a protest has not yet ar rived. The English must first bear tlia consequences of their disgusting . course In the form of heavy blows; after that they can be reasoned witn. May God pro tect the glorious cause of the Get mans; there is no other hope for the future of the human lace." Qerman professors and men of science have made a strong protest against Eng land's course by renouncing all the honor ary degrees, titles,, and other marks of distinction contorted upon them by Eng lish universities, academics, and other bodies of English scholars. They have published a duclaratljit on tha subject, as follows: Enalavnd'a Pretext Hollow. "England has declared war upon us Under a hollow pretext which la least of all justified In view of English history, 'and the true character of which is laid bare by numerous documents. Although England is related to us by blood and lace it has, out of a contemptible envy of Germany's economic success, incited other peoples against us for years, and, la particular, it has allied Itself with France and Rassia to crush us as a world power and to endanger our cultural achievements. "It was only because they were able o reckon upon England's co-operation that RuBsla, Franoe. Belgium and Japan threw down to us tho gauntlet of war. England bears, foremost pf all, the moral responsibility for this conflagration of the nations, which will result In frightful suffering for millions of men arid will demand unheard of sacrifices of blood and treasure. England's brutal national eel- f'.shnesa has placed, an indtlible blot upon Its name. 'We are well aware that very eminent English scholars, with whom German men of science ha-ve for years been In friendly and fruitful relations, were opposed to this wax. so wantonly begun, and spoke gainst it Renounce Ena-lleh. Honors. "Nevertheless, those of .-us- hava received marks of distinction from Eng lish universities, academies, and societies of scholars do renounca, as a matter ot national feeling, all such honors and the rights attached' to them." . This declaration was published with some thirty signatures, and other Signa tures are coining In daily. Among tha signers are many men with world-wide reputations. They Include such medical men as Von Behrtng ot Marburg, Paul Ehrllca. of Frankfort, Cserny of Heidel berg, August Bier of Berlin and Otto von ScWernJns of the general staff of tha army; philosophers like Rudolf Eucken of Jena and WUhelm Wundt of J.leplg; soologlata like Haeckel of Jena and Welsamann of Freiburg; law pro feasors lika Paul Laband of Btrasburg.

Beresford .Would Hand Kiel Canal Over to Denmark (Correspondence of the Associated Press ) LEEDS, Bept. IB Lord Charles Beroa ford In addressing a recent mass meeting tor the purpose of stimulating recruiting hers said; "The Kiel canal must be handed over to Denmark, so It wilt be useful for the peaceful pursuits of the world." The remark has es'-iied widespread comment and has become a part of the discussion ef the probable results 'Of the war It the allies should win. When the Kiel canal was opened In 1836 the emperor of Germany with repre sentatives of the leading European powers as his guests, said: "Germany will rang the work, Inaugurated today on the side of those accomplished In the service of peace." It was regarded as significant that upon the enlargement of the canal last June, the occasion wna not one of international celebration, although Em peror William attended and led a great fleet of German warships through the canal which, now figures so extensively In the naval operations as a magnificent refuge for the German fleet. German strategists insist that the Kiel canal doubles. the power of the Oermaa fleet as It gives another entrance from the North Sea to the Baltic and forces an enemy tc scatter Its strength, la order to bottle up tbe German warships. Light enormous sidings nave been provided within tjie enlarged canal In whlcn ships may pass. These are so great they are said to be capable of sheltering all the ships of tbe Oermaa navy. Kngllsh strategists assert that the value of the caal has been discounted con. slderably by the developments ot the present war, and declare that It has. It any tblng'; rendered the Oerman fleet more Immobile than it might otherwise have been. It was Lord Beresford' s contention that Denmark would never be safe so long as Germany held this important water way across the Dsnlse poninaula, and he hoped to aee the day when It, together with Bchleswig-IIolstein, would be re stored to Denmark. Enumerating other obligations which hs said would fall upon the allies If they defeated Germany, he said the first duty would be to Belgium, which would have to be amply rewarded for the wreaga It had suffered. He said ae would then have "the great Krop? plant destroyed and all German forts rased." A tare 'And do you really love me, George?" she asked. Love you!" repeated Gorge fervently.
