KAISER JUSTIFIES BELGIAN INVASION “Strategical Grounds” His Plea in Message to Wilson Philadelphia, Aug. 6.—The Public Ledger publishes in the first install- ment of ex-Ambassador James W. Gerard's book “My Four Years in Germany”’, which records the Ameri- can diplomat’s experiences at the German court until the entrance of the United States into the great war, the autograph facsimile of a cable let- ter written in English by Emperor ‘William to President Wilson on Aug- ust 10, 1914. In the facsimile repro- duction words and phrases appear crossed out, interlined and under- scored In the Kaiser’s own handwrit- ing and the letter s addressed per- sonally to the President as Wilhelm I1.’s version of how the world war be- gan. Because of Emperor William's “cal- culated indiscretion’* embodied in an interview in the London Daily Tele- graph on October 28, 1908, and later authenticated by the German For- eign Office in Berlin with the com- ment that it was intended by the Kalser “as a message to the Iinglish people.”” the German Emperor bound himself to subject henceforth any ex- pression of the imperial views to the bridle of the Ministry and the Coun- cil of ithe Empire. On this account, and by official re- quest in Berlin, Ambassador Gerard suppressed this cable message to Pres- ident Wilson, which the Kaiser in Au- gust, 1914, gave him for publication, It now appears by special permis- sion of the President as a document dated later than Chancellor Von Beth- mann-Hollweg’s speech in the Reich- stag of August 4, 1914, which gave the then German official account of how the war began, and dated also after the German declaration of war against France.

The emperor’s cable message reads in full as follows: For the President of the United States personally: 10/VIII 14. 1. H. R. H. Prince Henry was re- ceived by His Majesty King George V in London, who empowered him to transmit it to me verbally that Eng- land would remain neutral if war broke out on the continent involving Germany and France, Austria and | Russia. The message was telegraphed |to me by my brother from London after his conversation with H. M. the king, and repeated verbally on the twenty-ninth of July. 2. My ambassador in London trans- mitted a message from Sir E. Grey to Berlin saying that only in case France | was likely to be crushed England would interfere. 3.0n the thirtieth my ambassador in London reported that Sir Edward Grey in course of a ‘“private” conver- sation told him that if the conflict remained localized between Russia— not Serbia—and Austria, England would not move, but if we “mixed” in the fray she would take quick de- cisions and grave measures; i. e, if left my ally Austria in the lurch to fight alone England would not touch me. 4. This communication being direct- ly counter to the King's message to me. I telegraphed to H. M. on the 29th or 30th, thanking him for kind messages through my brother and begging him to use all his power to keep France and Russia—his Allles— from making any warlike prepara- tions calculated to disturb my work of mediator, stating that I was in constant communication with H. M. the Czar. In the evening the King kindly answered that he had ordered his Government to use every possible influence with his Allies to refrain from taking any provocative military measures. At the same time H. H. asked me if I would transmit to Vien- na the British proposal that Austria was to take Belgrade and a few other Serbian towns and a strip of country as a “mainmise” to make sure that | the Serbian promises on paper should be fulfilled in reality. This proposal was in the same moment telegraphed to me from Vienna for London, quite In conjunction with the British pro- posal; besides I had telegraphed to H. M. the Czar the same as an idea of mine, before I received the two communications from Vienna and London, as both were of the same opinion. 5. I immediately transmitted the telegrams vice versa to Vienna and London. I felt that I was able to tide the question over and was happy at the peaceful outlook. 6. While I was preparing a note to H. M. the Czar the next morning to inform him that Vienna, London and Berlin were agreed about the treat- ment of affairs I received the tele- phones from H. E. the Chancellor that in the night before the Czar had giv- en the order to mobilize the whole ef -QUARREL OVER CUSTODY OF BABY BOY PRECEDED SHOOTING OF DE SAULLES ) Probably no shooting cuse in recent years aroused so much excitement in society circles as that of John L.

All the attacks were repulsed. Paris, Aug. 6—German attacks were made last night on the French posts tions east of Noisy farm, in the reglon south of Boville, at Avocourt Wwood and in Alsace. The French statement issued this afternoon says all the a‘,y tacks were crushed by the French ar- tillery. : On the French front in Belgium the situation was unchanged. London, Aug. 6.—German. last night again attacked the mnew British lMnes near Hollebeke on the Belgian front, but they were repulséd according to the official report re- ceived by the war office today from General Haig. A German attack one the British positions at West Hooke also was unsuccessful. Germans Break Before Hollebeke. British Headquarters in France and Belgium, Aug. 6 (by the Assoctated Press)—FHollbeke, a Belglan town southeast of Ypres, which was the scene of heavy fighting early vester- | day morning, again was the object of a German counter attack last night by the enemy was repulsed by the Brit- ish artillery fire before even the wire entanglements in front of the trenches had been reached. After the failure of their morning assault on Hollbeke and on a post just north of the canal the Teutons con- tinued to bombard the positions heav- ily throughout the day, leaving little doubt that they intended to have an- other try to retake this section of the new British line. When the German infantry finally ieft their trenches and moved forward | they were met by an intense artillery | fire and a withering storm of bullats from machine guns and rifies. They continued to push forward but before the wire defense were reached broke and retreated hastily. ' The partial success of the Germans in the mornng attack, when they gained a footing in Hollbeke, was due entirely to heavy fog, which prevented the British gunners from seeing tbe signals which the infantry in the front lines gave indicating the German ad- vance. The British hurled them back and captured a number of prisoners. Evi- dence of the British bombardment before the opening battte of Flanders continue to multiply. German prison- ers taken in the St. Julien sector are unanimous in declaring that it was most deadly and effective.

In a telegram from London my Ambassador informed me he under- stood the British Government would guarantee neutrality of France and wished to know whether Germany would refrain from attack. I tele- graphed to H. M. the King personally that mobilization being already car- ried out could ngt be stopped but if H. M. could guarantee with his armed forces the neutrality of France 1 would refrain from attacking her, leave her alone and employ my troops elsewhere. H. M. answered that he thought my offer was based on a mis- understanding and as far as I can make out Sir E. Grey never took my offer Into serious consideration. He never answered it. Instead he d. clared England had to defend Belgian neutrality, which had to be violated by Germany on strategical grounds, news having been received that France was already preparing to enter Belgium and the King of the Belgians having refused my petition for a free pa under guarantee of his country's free- dom. I am most grateful for the Pres- ident’s message. WILLIAM, H. R. RACE T0 WASHINGTON General Manager of Remington Co. Goes to Capital and Union Officials Quickly Take Up His Trail.

For the best part of two weeks in the Cote du Moulin our patrols and those of the enemy have been living an uneasy; life almost side by side, with only a’ few tumble-down walls between them, Small attacking parties set out yester= day afternoon from that part of the Cote du Moulin already in our hands and drove in the enemy’s patrols along a front of a thousand yards. The Germans for the most part scuttled back toward Lens, but a number weré caught under our fire and killed. A new outpost line was established and prepared for a counter attack. No counter attack had been made upete the time of filing this despatch. This advance carries the Canadians well within a thousand yards of the cénter of Lens on the western front of the city. At Avion and Leauvitte on the south front our outposts are now about a mile from the center, and in the northwest scctor, opposite St. Laurent, our line is a scant fifteen hundred rds from the heart of Lens. The net fast closing. v A remarkable story is told concern- ing the cool bravery of one of our ars tillery observation officers. The post from which he had been abserving the effect of cur gunfire was an ex cellent cne for the purpose. The Ger- man gunners, knowing it was being put to use as an observation post,,de- termined to destroy the building. They began shooting at it early in the morning and continued firing on the structure throughout the day, using in all considerably more than three hundred rounds at a cost of many thousands of dollars. . The building rocked and swayed under the impact of bursting shells, but only twice during the day did,the observer leave his post. Once he did s0 to report that the top of his peri- scope had been carried away by a bursting shell. = On the second occa- sion he told his battery commander over the telegraph wire that the boches had forced him out for a few minutes by throwing part of an ads jacent building upon that in which his post was located. His devotion® to duty under constant peril enabled gum ners to continue their work on a day when aeroplane observation was Im- possible, BELGIANS AT PROVIDENCE.
