SHOULD HELP OUST
GERMANS OR SHUT UP
LONDON.—‘T’nles* neutral nations
are prepared to assist in throwing ihe
Germans out of Belgium, no sugges
tions from them in ttie matter of pre
venting the further devastation of that
country are wanted,” Sir Kdward Grey,
1 ho foreign secretary, said in the House
of Commons recently.
The foreign secretary'll statement
was made in response to an inquiry
from Frederick W. Jowett, whet tier ihe
government was "willing to invite sug- :
gestlonn from neutrals with a view to j
avoiding ill* further devastation of
Belgium by the great powers which
aio contending for its mastery.''
"The only solution of this uuestion,"
Sir Kdward continued, "is the evacua
tion of Belgian territory by German i
troops, the restoration of its indepen-!
derue and reparation for ihe wrong
done the Belgians I'nless neutral
nations are prepared to assist in se
curing that solution, I don’t see what
could tie gained by Ihe course sug-j
gested.”
MOULTEN STEEL
PROJECTILE INVENTED
OLOlTC'ESTEIt, Mass. A now type
of projectile which would scatter a
white-hot mixture of molten steel over
ihe object of attack and at the same
time permeate the atmosphere with a
deadly gas which would make it im
possible for lire lighters to approach,
has been invented by John Hays Ham
mond Jr., according to a statement
made by the inventor.
The new missle ma\ soon appear in
tiie Kuropean war. as some of the bel-j
ligerent nations are now negotiating i
for its purchase, he said. The I'nited
States government at present is con
ducting experiments with the new pro
jectile at Sandy Hook, ho added.

BRITISH POET, ASKS
AMERICA TO END WAR
LONDON'.—"Let America speak anil I
end this war and all humanity will
belss her to the end of time,” was the
appeal of Alfred Noyes, English poet,
to the American people recently.
"The Germans are not only losing
their lives—they are losing their
minds,” Noyes asserted. "Though ihe
end is not doubted, this is just a sense
less welter of bloodshed. This war
threatens to become one of extermina
tion.
"One country and one alone is openly
throwing over every law of God and
of man, is murdering its own children
by the thousands, and haltering the
ramparts of civilization. Those who
are responsible dure not let their peo
ple have the truth, preferring to send
them to their death rather than risk
a revolution.
"It is tho duty now of every neutral
country to drive tho truth into thorn
and then- the German people them
selves will end tho war When they
do they will end exalted forgers of
telegrams, crowned thieves, and lying
diplomats.
"Get Americans speak as Lincolnj
spoke and lift up the torch of liberty
to millions of men who are now. like
sheep, being prepared for IU« slaugh
ter.”
