News for the seat of war continuea to be vague and of the most unsatis r,. factory character. Practically no news comes from the nations of the ; Triple Alliance, and the news from the other countries Is so censored by war officials that what little reaches America is only permitted to do so when there is no chance of It assist ing the enemy. 'News is sent out from Brussels through London that 10,000 Ger mans, comprising cavalry, artillery and infantry engaged u force of 7, 000 Belgians in battle at Haelen. "It is believed," says the dispatch,, "that the obje^ t of the Germans was to take a position north of the St Trond road at Tirlemont, from which they could execute a turning move ment against the Belgian army. "Through efficient cavalry recon noisance the Belgian commander ob tained accurate information of the movement of the attacking forceB. I To reach IMest the Germans had to oross the river at Haelen, and before this place the Belgians took up their principal position, erecting barri cades, building intrenchmentB and placing guns where they could bo moat effectively employed. "The Germans came in sight about ?11 o'clock in the morning and soon the artillery on both sides cafrio into 'action.- The German fire had little effect. T'?? Belgian fire wag doadly, even at a rvnge of 2,000 metres, and played havoc with tho German cav . airy, which, notwithstanding, con Untied to advance. "The cavalry charged, but owing to hedges and hillocks could attack only In small groups. The German? again and again hurled themselves the barricades, only to be shot -dpvn by the deadly Belgian fire. N tv'*Tho attack on the bridges span ?***?/ tho river was equally fierce.

President Starts Department Official#' Inquiry Into Alleged Artificial In crease. President Wilson Thursday set in motion the machinery of the fed eral government to determine wheth er the cost of living is being increas ed "upon the pretext of the condi tions existing in Europe." He call ed upon Attorney General McRey nolds to report if criminal prosecu tions were warranted, and if any new laws were necessary. The presi dent may send a speolal message to congress in the latter event. Certain the country ought to be defended if possible, the president wrote to the attorney general, "against men who would take advan tage of such circumstances to In crease the price of food and the dif ficulties of living." Within a few hours from the time the president acted throe of the executive depart ments of the government were mov ing to learn the cauBe of the soaring prtceB of food throughout the coun try. Attorney General McReynolds set at work the bureau of investigation of the department of Justice with its hundreds of agents throughout the country. Agents of the department of commerce also were started upon tho inquiry, and Secretary Redfleld conferred with Secretary Houston of tfie department of agriculture. Some officials whd believe the greater porportlon of price increases have no connection whatever with the Euiopean war but are the reBult of manipulations, attempts at cor ners or individual efforts of dealers, contend that the "conspiracy" sec tion of tiie Sherman law covers the situation. Attorney McReynolds, however, will give an opinion on that feature to the president later. Congressmen who already have In troduced resolutions to Investigate the rise in prices and others who are oreparlng similar measures viewed the action of the administration with satisfaction. They pointed out that, while flour particularly had taken t ?sreat jump in price, whent exports practically are paralyzed and mil lions of bushols are piled up in ele vators or in freight cars strung across the country. Secretary Redfleld wrote Chairman Adamson of the House commerce committee suggesting an appropria ")rt the present temporary stop nage of trade with foreign countries Is made the basis for an attempt in the country to put up prices artifi cially," said the secretary, "it Is un patriotic, I may say even damnable " Tho food question was the first 1n 'o which President Wilson plunged when he went back to his desk after his return from Rome, Oa., where ho burled Mrs. Wilson.

HAVE MET BEFORE ALLIANCE ADD ENTENTE OET BATE TMEATENED WAR PAST CLASHES FREQUENT Story of the Political Intrigue of Eu ropean Nations Which Has Finally Blotted the World With Devasta tlon. How Austria Has Played Her Diplomatic Cards Poorly. For the third time In the last five years the two great groups of Euro peon powers, the Triple Aliance and the Triple Entente stand face to face with the obvious possibility that war may result from the claBh of rival purposes. To-day Russia, France and Oreat Britain are In one camp, Ger many, Austria and Italy In the other, and between the two lies the old question of European balance of power. In 1909, when Austria annexed Bosnia, France, Great Britain and Russia protested. The annexation was In fact an express violation of the agreemnt made in the great con gress of Berlin after the Rubso Turk ish War It not merely Increased the territory of a member of the Triple Alliance but It extinguished the hope of a little Slav state ro cially, politically, rellglausly related to Russia. At the critical moment In 1909 Germany appeared "in shining arm or", declared for Austrian purposes and threw her sworn Into the bal ance. Russia and her allies were un ready for war and were compelled to accept the crushing and humiliating defeat ? but the consequences of the defeat were manifold. From that hour began Russian Intriguing in the Balkans to promote that unity which was presently to destroy Turkey. In 1911, when Germany sent her warship to Agadlr, the two groups came into collision again. In 1909 Germany had threatened Russia; in 1011 she menaced France, demand ing as the price of recognition of a French protectorate in Morocco huge territorial grants for herself. But thlB time the Triple Entente was lesB' compliant. British fleets assembled, Russian armies were mobilized, and Anally Lloyd George made the mem Ahlo tpeech which amounted to a arning to Germany tbatEngfauil' stood with France. ' Then it wan Germany's turn to yield, as It had been Ruq^ia's in 1909. 8ome territorial gain she did make in the swamps of. the U.banghi, but Morocco became French, German prestige was terribly shaken and the pasBlunate resentment of the Ger man people has found expression ever since In the press and In the utterances of many of her public men. The defeat of the Triple Alliance In Morocco was quickly followed by disasters more serious. Italy went to Tripoli and In making war upon Turkey attacked a power regarded In Germany as an ally, whose army, Herman trained, wan confidently ex pected to stand with the Triple Al liance on the great day of European conflict. Defeated by Italy, Turkey wan next compelled to faco the alliance of the Balkan stated, whose union wan the direct product of Russian diplomacy. With the victories of L.ule Burgas, Kumanovo and Jenld je-Vardar. Turk ish power In TCurope collapsed and the small Balkan states, Increased by great territorial gain, stood on Austria's southern frontier barring her road to the Aegean, and in the case of Servla threatening to play the role on the Danube that Sardlna had played on the Po and unite the southern Slavs as Sardinia united Italy. To prevent thin Austria rosorted to desperate tactics. T^ike Germany, she had expected Turkish victory, and the Osmanll ruin found her un prepared. Toward 8orvla she adopt ed bullying tactics. To break up the Balkan allance, which was In fact a Russian creation and an adjunct of the Triple Entente, she promoted the discussion among the Balkan allies which resulted In the second war Hut again Austria backed the wrong horse. Notonly was Bulgaria defeated and Qervla still further In creased In territory and prestige, but Austrian support for Bulgaria had alienated Roumanla, hitherto the steadfast friend of the Triple Al liance, and precisely as the Rervlans began to dream of regaining Bosnln and Herzegovina Roumanla cast en vious eyes on the millions of Rou manians In Hungary. Meantime, ar the Rltuatlon of Aur trla had been compromised abroad. It wan weakened at home. Halt the population of the Dual Monarchy In Slav, .but the ruling race* are Oar man and Magyar. Austrian bullying of flervla provoked protest, riot, (Un order at homo.

Only one diplomatic t#umph Aus trla brought home In her campaign, ftervian aaptratlona for a "window on the sea" were thwarted and tha Al banian kingdom wan created. But no sooner had It been created thtn the rival ambition* of Italy and Aus tria began to elaah and European observers forecast a quarrel between Austria and Italy auch aa Bchleswlg Holsteln provoked between ItSly and Austrii. Thus, on the edge of the present crlsig the Triple Alliance founfl itself in a badly weakened condition, ^us* ?'?* ? f?' mthwn lx>ima?ty ww i PLAN FOR RELIEF - %* - v ";1 DELEGATES FROM COTTON BELT ' ARK NOW IN CONFERENCE. Bills Introduced to Provide (fof, Chain of Licensed and Bonded Warehouse for Storing Cotton. Plans for relief of the South from embarrassment growing out of the closing of European markets during the war are assuming definite shape. The Southern Cotton con gress, composed of cotton men from every Southern State,* has opened a special session caled to deal with the war situation, and Southern senators and representatives will co-operate with them in perfecting financial leg- ' islatlon to enable growers to hold a part of a big crop over until the mar ket becomes more nearly normal. : ? One plan for providing this relief; details of which have been worked out by Southern congressmen In con sultation with experts of the depart ment of agriculture, will bo embody J led in a measure ki the Senate by Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and In the House by Representative Lever of South Carolina The meas ure will propose establishment of a chain of licensed and bonded ware houses, where cotton may be stored ' until conditions become normal and be made the collateral for issuance of emergency currency. The advisability of Bome such ac tion was Airged before the House agricultural committee by commis sioners of agriculture of the cotton states. E, J. Watson, commissioner of agriculture of South Carolina and president of the cotton congress, out lined his view that cotton should be made a stable baBis of credit and that the federal reserve board should be given power to make warehouse re ceipts the baBis for currency issued under the feredal reserve act. His suggestions were seconded by K. R. Kone and R. C. Hollingsworth. "We don't want a system of valor ization," Mr. Watson told the com mittee. "We do not want the gov ernment to advance money to the holders of cotton. We want you to lend the money to finance this crislq. on proper security, and we want the money withdrawn Just as soon as the (need for it has passed." confronted withSerb and Roumanian armies, whose fighting capacity was provod, whose national aspirations would be promoted by Austrian dis ruption. Greece, too, excluded from North Eplrus^ by with. ' ' At home Austria faced growing disorder. Her Slav populations, ihelr racial pride and confidence roused by Servian and Bulgarian victories, no longer endured with patience the per secutions of Germans and Hunga-< rlans. Disloyalty was on the Increase on all sides, and Austria seemed about to succeed Turkeyas "The Sick In this situation Qerman newspa pers and public men began to' de mand that the clash between the Tri ple Alliance and the Triple Entente should bo postponed longer. Time plainly was with the enemy Aus tria was growing weaker, Austro Itallan rivalry In Albanian as well aB secular rivalry in Trieste and the Trentlno plainly promised future quarrels which might destroy the fighting value of the Triple Alliance and leave Germany alone between | France and Russia. It la the German temper which makes the present crisis serious. At tho time of the Bosnian clash no na tion in Europe deslrod war, and only Germany was ready. At the moment of tho Moroccan dispute Germany backed down because she found Prance. England and Russia ready and the possible gain incommensu rate with tho possible loss a great war might bring. To-day a very considerable faction of German official life bHlovos that only by war can Germany maintain her pre-domlnance In Europe and that a few years more of peace will leave her far behind Russia In strength, in resource and In allien. To-day she can count on Austria and probably Italy. To-morrow Audtrla may have fallen apart, ]>ut Rusnla, England and Prance are not likely to grow weaker. ' The challenge Auntria has insued to Runnia, then, In Germany's chal lenge. It is also her own declara tlon of a determination to fight for her existence. Runnia has enlisted Servla and Roumanio on her noutb orn boundary. Runnia has promoted Slav anplratlona and disloyalty In Auntrla. Now Runnia munt leave flervla to hor fate, abandon her BChemen to dontroy Austria within and without, she must publicly con fess she can not aid her weaker Rlav allien, or she must fight. Austria prefers to he destroyed by war rath er than by the attrition of Intrigue. If France and Qreat Britain stand with Russia her decision can not be mistaken. If France and Russia are agreed to resist the result will hardly be different. Rut British statesmen are unlikely to run the risk of a Ger man victory which will leave Ger many with her hands free to fight for naval supremacy. The worst phane of the present crlnls is that neither Alliance nor En tente can low escape war without tremendous loss of prestige The oh^llenge of Auntrla has been made in such fashion that tt leaves Runsla no visible choice between war and dishonor. German official utterance gives the thing the value of am issue between the Triple Allgnee and the Trlpl" Entente. tt is the combination of alt of these circumstances which makes the present crisis seem the most serious Europe has known nines Bi?m*rok edited the fateful Kms dUtvatoh an# tt# rrMM-rrtmiM ww tmm ^uchArds r how jp " * '^RttanburK Journal lug1 Article Concei If , Heart Among Blea?ltcm.

"Any candidate cftn say 'I will vote for Blease at the coming election,' but the question Is, will he be a Bleaslte after the election. - "I think Mr. Irby hit the nail on the head when he asked Mr. Rich ards If he was so anxious to let the people know how he was going to v^te two weeks from now, why was he unwilling to tell how he voted two years ago?

There was no semblance of disorder, each of the four speakers beiug accorded a re spectful and attentive hearing. L. D. Jennings was the first speak er. He launched immediately Into an arraignment of the governor's rec ord, which was characterized as the "dirtiest ever made by a white man In any white country." Mr. Jennings said ho had heard of but three men who would vote (or the governor this year who didn't support the governor two years ago. These were an editor of a Hampton county paper, John P. Grace of Charleston and John G. Richardp This canidate dwelt much on that phase of the public record which tended to prove that the governor was always on the side of those who destroyed womanhood.

By far the major portion of the audience was composed of farmers Senator Smith's explanation of the new currency law, which provides that cotton Bhall he accepted as col lateral, has doubtless not fallen on more willing ears. Senator Smith explained that he would probably go to Washington to assist in the fight for federal relief In the cotton sit uation. He wanted the money which would enable the farmers to hold their rot ton placed In till the hanks, both State and national, and the cotton to be stored at home.
