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.

It is never excelled and seldom equalled. /rHu .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. C. I* U 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.

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.
