AUGUSTA.
neutrality, guaranteed by the powers,
has recently been violated by one of
them. Had we consented to abandon
our neutrality for the benefit of one
of the belligerents, we would have
betrayed our obligations towards the
others, and it was the sense of our
international obligations, as well as
that of our dignity and honor, that
has driven us to resistance.
“The consequences suffered by the
Belgian nation were not confined pure
ly to the harm occasioned by the
forced march of an invading army
This army not only seized a great por
tion of our territory, but it committed
incredible acts of violence, the nature
of which is contrary to the rights of
mankind.
THE CRIMES CHARGED
“Peaceful inhabitants were massa
cred, defenseless women and children
were outraged, open and undefended
towns were destroyed, historical and
religious monuments were reduced to
dust and the famous library of the
University of Louvain was given to
the flames. *
“Our government has appointed a
judicial commission to make an olfi
cial investigation, so as to thoroughly
and impartially examine the facts and
to determine the responsibility there
for, and I will have the honor, Excel
lency, to hand over to you the pro
ceedings of the inquiry.
“In this frightful holocaust which is
sweeping all over Europe the United
States have adopted a neutral atti
tude.
“And It is for this reason that your
country, standing apart from either
one of the belligerents, is in the best
position to judge without bias and par
tiality the conditions under which the
war is being waged.
ALL CIVILIZED NATIONS
“It was at the request, even at the
initiative, of the United States that
ail civilized nations have formulated
and adopted at The Hague a law regu
lating the rights and usages of war.
“We refuse to believe that war has
abolished the family of civilized pow
ers or the regulations to which they
have freely consented.
“The American people has always
displayed its respect for justice, its
search for progress and an instinc
tive attachment for the laws of hu
manity. Therefore, it has won a mor
al influence that is recognized by the
entire world. It is for this reason that
Belgium, bound as it is with you by
ties of commerce and increasing
friendship, turns to the American peo
ple at this time to let It know the real
truth of the present situation. Re
solved to continue its unflinching de
fense of its sovereignty and indepen
dence, it deems it a duty to bring to
the attention of the civilized world the
innumerable grave breaches of right
of mankind of which she has been a
victim.
FAITH IN U. S. FAIRNESS
“At the very moment wo were leav
ing Belgium the king recalled to us
his trip to the United States and the
vivid and strong Impression your pow -
erful and virile civilization left upon
his mind.
“Our faith in your fairness, our con
fidence in your justice, in your spirit
of generosity and sympathy, all these
dictated our present mission.”
Mr. Carton DeyViart also handed to
President Wilson the results of the
official Inquiry instituted by the Bel
gian government .showing in detail
the destruction in Belgium.

.TE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID
President Wilson, receiving the com
missioners, said:
"Permit me to say with what sin
cere pleasure I receive you as repre
sentatives of the King of the Belgians,
a people for whom the people of the
Unitd States feel so strong a friend
ship and admiration, a king for whom
they entertain so sincere a respect,
and express my hope that we may
have many opportunities of earning
and deserving their regard.
“You are not mistaken in believing
that the people of this country love
justice, seek the true paths of prog
ress ,and have a passionate regard for
the rights of humanity.
THEIR SPOKESMAN
“It is a matter of profound pride to
me that I am permitted for a time
to represent such a people and to be
their spokesman and I am honored
that your king should have turned to
me in time of distress as to one who
would wish, on behalf of the people
he represents, to consider the claims to
the impartial sympathy of mankind
of a nation which deems itself
wronged.
"I thank you for the document you
have put in my hands containing the
result of an investigation made by a
judicial committee appointed by the
Belgian government to look Into the
matter of which you have come to
speak. It shall have my most atten
tive perusal, and my most thoughtful
consideration.
I PRAY GOD, SOON
“You will, I am sure, not expect
me to say more. Presently, I pray God
very soon, this war will be over. The
day of accounting will then come. I
take it for granted the nations of
Europe will assemble to determine a
settlement. Where wrongs have been
committed, their conseqencues and the
relative responsibility involved will
be assessed.
“The nations of the world have for
tunately, by agreement, tnade a plan
for such a reckoning and settlement.
What such a plan cannot compass, the
opinion of mankind, the final arb.cer
in such matters, will supply. It would
be unwise, it would be premature for
a single government, however fortu
nately separated from the present
struggle—it would be inconsistent with
the neutral position of any nation
which, like this, has no part in the
contest—to form or express a final
judgment.
“I need not assure you that this
conclusion, in which I Instinctively
feel that you will yourself concur, is
spoken frankly because in warm
friendship, and as the best means of
perfect understanding between us, an
understanding based upon mutual re
spect, admiration and cordiality.
MOST WELCOME
“You are most welcome, and we are
greatly honored that you should have
chosen us as the friends before whom
you oould lay any matter of vital con
sequence to yourselves, in the confi
dence that your cause would be under
stood and met in the same spirit in
which it was conceived and intended.”
Speaking
... THE...
Public Mind
An Argument for Socialism.
To The Herald:
The government has devoted some
of Its war navy to the purpose of
supplying the needs created through
tleing up of European commerce. It
Is even suggested that the government
buy some of the big liners in order
to avoid complications possible
through permitting them to sail under
American flag. Cotton and grain are to
be shipped under direction of the gov
ernment.
It will be seen that the very calam
lty of war Is forcing the nations Into
adopting Socialistic measures. Ho
ciallsm has progressed to the point
where even a conspiracy to set the
worjd to slaughtering workers in an
endeavor to set back the clock of the
ages, will prove futile. The war it
self, It will soon be discovered will
prove a tremendous agitator for So
cialism. Often havo Socialists been
accused of fostering a bloody revolu
tion. What is this, may we ask, that
capitalism is giving us In Europe? is
this your boasted civilization you are
so fearful Socialism will destroy? If
you love It so well, why are you de
stroying It of your own efforts?
Oh, ye rulers of the earth! Go hide
your heads in shame! Your beloved
capitalism has brought you world
wide war, with all Its horrors. So
cialism, in spite of you, will bring
you peace and happiness.

A WORD FOR THE CABARET.
To The Herald:
Well, when are we going to have our
little naughty cabaret back again?
It seems a pity that a few who have
never had the pleasure of hearing the
music that Is put on at the cabaret
and who are too afalrd of being
shocked because a few of Augusta's
best citizens sit at a table and have
what they wish for In the line of bev
erages, and hear a lady or gentleman
entertain them while no Indulging,
should be so Influential as to cause
a respectable place to be closed. I
have had the pleasure of attending
the cabaret and can proudly nay, that
I would be only too glad to be able
tonight to take my mother or my wife
and attend the same, as I know that
every gentleman, whether young or
old, In the City of Augusta has re
spect for a lady and consequently
make the above statement. I sin
cerely hope that the real progressive
citizens of this village will appeal for
a re-opening of the cabaret eo that
we will have some place to go for an
evening and not have to sit at home
and twirl our thumbs. Hoping for
the cabaret's success.

Daniel O’Cbnnell—The liberator”
JLD ERIN has given the world many a genius and many a Lover of Liberty, bur none greater than the eloquent
I O’Connell. This noble Irishman unselfishly devoted every moment of his life to regain the Freedom of his Father*
f land. His oratory, because of its flaming earnestness, exercised a powerful influence over the House of Common&anct
hastened many reforms for Ireland. Daniel O’Cbnnell was the first to realize the irresistible strength of a union of roil
lions of Irishmen, and to this end he labored night and day. Huge mass meetings were everywhere organized through.*
out Ireland and addressed by the masterful O’Connell, when confident of success and with victory in sight he was
arrested and condemned to prison. When liberated his splendid constitution was shattered, but he continued until
his dying hour to work and pray for Irish Liberty. It is needless to say that Daniel O'Connell was opposed to any ftx>«
hibitory legislation which invaded the Natural Rights of Man. He would no more vote for such tyrannous enactments
than will our millions of Irish-American citizens. They know that there is no evil in the barley brews and light wines
of their fathers — EVIL ONLY IS IN THE MAN WHO MISUSES THEM. For 57 years Anheuser-Busch have nonestly
brewed honest beers, and they are proud of the popularity their great brand Budweiser enjoys with those of Irish blood. Our
Irish citizens have helped to make our nation great among the nations of the world. Seven thousand, five hundred people
are daily required to keep pace with the natural demand for Budweiser. ANHEUSER-BUSCH *ST LOUIS.U.SA,
