FOR THIS PRESENT ATTEMPT BY GERMANY. ¥t Had Been Preparing For Five Years--Every Belgian Trained To Withstand German Aggression. Belgium, with a German peril very much like that under which Britain has been laboring, has gradually been preparing for the great struggle that has-now arrived, according to Mr. Isidore Freedman, of Antwerp, who is in the eity at present, staying at the King Edward Hotel. "Up to five years ago," said Mr. Freedman to The Star, "it was only the poor man---the peasant--who be- came a soldier, and the Belgian ar- my at that time numbered only 30,- 000. Then the military laws were changed and every family had to give a son. Last year there was a further change and now every man has to perve. In this way the Belgian regul- ar army has been increased to 100, 000. "Besides these, however, there is a strong militia body. In times of war we can place in the field 250,001 men, every one of whom is conver- i! pant with the use of the military { rifle." { Mr. Freedman has been in a state of considerable anxiety" concerning ' his parents, but thi§ morning his fears were set at rest by the receipt of a cable announcing their safe ar- rival in England. Of six brothers, three are naturalized Englishmen and two of the other three are serv- ing in the Belgian army. The third, a lad of Seventeen, is about to en- ligt. One brother is in the 7th Belgian Regiment of the line, and another Jeft Toronto three months, ago to enlist, "Belgium has been training for this conflict for years," declared Mr Yreedman. "Otherwise, why should he have paid so much attention to ne aggrandizement of her army?" "Germany," he said, threatened ) take away the Congo from us if e did not at once allow her troops «0 devastate our country. The stand that Belgium has taken will long be remembered no matter what hap pens to her. Wed "If the invad&Fs succeed in taking Tiege immediately, it will be only if they are five to our one. We are fighting for a cause, and-the Ger- mans know they are fighting jusi because the kaiser is a war lord and wants to be another Frederick the Great. If Liege falls the. Belgians will put up an even stouter resis- ance at Namur and Huy. One has to live in Belgium to understand the proud spirit of the Belgian. "I believe that Germany will be beaten, but only in the long run There is no use in .deceiving our pelves. | think the German fleet will avoid battle as long as possible, be cause so much depends on its suc- cess or failure.

GERMAN DIVULGED. PLANS. Wanted Money to Extricate Himself From Financial Difficulties. Berlin, Aug. 12.---A sergeant-ma- jor of the Pioneers named Pohl was sentenced by court-martial to fifteen years' penal servitude for what is said to be probably the most serious espionage offense ever committed by a member of the Gérman army. The accused bore an excellent military character, to which his employment on clerical work in the first engineer inspection "was due, but he seems to have led an irregular private life that involved him in debt. Some time 'ago be became engaged to be married, but the girl's parents were strongly op- posed to the match on the grounds of his pecuniary circumstances. It was to extricate himself from his difficulty that he offered his ser- vices as a spy to Colonel von Baser- off, military attache at the Russian embassy, here. That officer was at first sceptical as to his proposals and contemptously promised to give him twenty marks if he would produce the plans of a German fortress. Very soon, however, Pohl paid the colonel another visit, this time bringing with him the plans of the fortifications of Pilau He was now placed in communica- tion with a man who, under the alias of Dr. Blumenthal, is alleged to have worked for the Russian intelligence department at Dresden, and who, is also in custody, but as a civilian will be tried by the imperial court at Le- ipzig. Thyough the instrumentality of this agent, Pohl also betrayed the plans of Boyen, a fortress which guards one of the passages through the chain of lakes in East Prussia. He had further made copies of the plans of the defenses of Borkum and Heligoland, but was prevented by his arrest from handing them over to his foreign employers. During the pre- liminary examination his denials were completely discredited by the svidence brought against him that he made a full confession, and it was consequently possible to finish his trial in a few hours. The proceedings were, of course, taken in camera, but all accounts now agree as to the facts given above, though only a few days ago the semi-official press sought to exculpate Col. Haseroff, who has returned to Russia and is said to be expected back here again ONTARIO FALL FAIRS Dates of Fairs Held in Eastern On- Sept. 22-24 "oar nee ve. 00CL 6 + + «+.

WHAT SAMPLING REVEALS Much Better Than Another. A herd ownér may ascertain from the creamery that his average is 40 pounds of fat per cow for the month and yet have a dim idea that some of his cows are better producers than others, but probably few men are pre pared for the veritable surprises en- countered when they commence re- gular weighing and sampling. To take the case of two two-year-old heifers that freshened this spring, last month one gave thirty pounds of fat, the other gave forty-six pounds, One five-year-old in the same herd of grade Jerseys gave sixty-se- ven pounds of faf, and another five- year-old gave only thirty-six pounds. The owner would scarcely believe that: one mature cow is thus earn- ing, with fat 'at twenty-seven cents One Cow Does seven cents more than her stable mate iu just one month. What will the difference be for the whole year? That is the crucial test. : Between two three-year-olds in the same herd, that both freshened in March, there was a difference last month of ninteeri pounds of fat, wor- th over five dollars. Similar differ- ences are to be found in many herds, illustrating very clearly that it i: palpably unfair to take a gemeral average ofgthe herd unless they are decidedly more even in production than those cited above. Records of individual production alone can give this valuable information to the ow- ner. Milk and feed records may be obtained free on application to the dairy commissioner, Ottawa.

England, France, and Russia Great. ly Outnumber Austria and Ger. many in Flying Machines and Di rigible Balloons. e The airship will be given its first real test in warfare in the- present titanic European struggle. Of re cent years the great nations of Europe spent very large sums ex- perimenting with aircraft. Germany made plans over a year ago to spend $38,250,000 during 1914 and 1915. Britain spent last year about $4,125, 000 in this new service. France leads all the powers in aeronautics and the dashing French military airmen are considered the most ef- fective operators of these craft. The relative-strength of the pow- ers is as follows: Italy being placed with the triple alliance, although she has announced her neutrality and, indeed, may be fighting against Germany before this paper is issued, in which case her airships and aero- planes will be added to those of the Triple Entente of Belgium, Dirigible 'Airships Triple Alliance Jermany rae ues Austria .

The dirigible can go only 5,500 feet up and can make only 40 miles an hour The, dirigible, however, has a radius of 500 miles to the aeroplane's 150 miles. The dirigible is also a wire- 5 less station and a great weight-lifter by comparison. There are five branches of dn aer- ial navy---the small seouting mono- | plane, the bomb-dropping flying ma- chine, the coast defence hydrobi- plane with quick-firing gun, the! semi-rigid dirigible for scouting with the fleet at sea, and the rigid dirigible for long distance scouting and harbor destruction, with base on land. ! Already, several encounters be- tween aeroplanes and dirigibles have taken place. Roland Garros drove his aeroplane into a German Zeppel- in and wrecked it, killing 25 men and dying himself. Another French aviator shot a German land man in mid air. A German flying over the Belgian forces was riddled with bullets on Wednesday of this week. The Belgians destroyed a Zeppelin on Thursday. Some of the most thrilling deeds of history will be done among the clouds. ADMIRAL JELLICOE LITTLE Most Diminutive of All Britain's Sen- ior Naval Officers, Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, who has just been appointed as comman- der-in-chief of the British navy, and on whom the whole British empire is depending in this hour of trial, has been for the past year and a half se- cond: sea lord of the naval depart ment at Whitehall. He is barring midshipmites, the most diminutive officer of the senior service, differing in this respect fromm Admiral Prince Louis of Battenberg, whose place he is taking. Yet, in spite of his brevity ot £ ure, he won fame in his younger days as a football player, as an all- round athlete, and as a boxer, He has seen plenty of lighting. As sub- lieutenant, he was present at the bombardment of Alexandria, and af terwards took part in the battle of Tel-el-Kebir, as a member of the naval brigade Jellicoe was ill, suffering from Malta fever, on board the Victoria, which was rammed by the Camper- down, and sent to the bottom of the Mediterranean, carrying down with her Admiral Sir George Tyron, and more than 600 officers and men, but miraculously escaped. Indeed, having entered the water when his temperature was 103, he was fished out at: the normal, 98 cured of his illness; so that it was irreverently said that he was born to be hanged. He was badly wound: ed in the attempt to relieve the for eign legations at Pekin twelve years ago, while serving as chief of staff of admiral of the feet, Sir Edward Seymour, receiving a. Boxer bullet through his lungs, bui managed to recoy®ey Weis pryrried to a very rich wo- man, namely, the daughter of Sir Charles Cayzer, head, of the Clan line of steamers, and is regarded in the English and foreign navies as more responsible than any other officer for, the marvelous progress in naval gunnery in the English fleet.

New York Herald Naval men see in the falling back f the German high sea fleet before he British squadrons an evident in- ention to mainta'n a fleet in being. Fhe term " a fleet in being' origi- 1ated during one of the wars be- ween England and France when an 'nglish admiral was court martial- ed because he avoided, with a num- ically inferior force, engaging a uverior French fleet. In his de- 'ence before the court the English 'dmiral contended that his duty to 1s country demanded that he main- ain a fleet in being. The English command was tha nly one available for the defense of he English channel. If that fleet vas swept away nothing remained to pose a vrossing of the channel by "rench troops to English shor :s. So ong as the British had a fleet in wing there was a chance, A possi- kitty it might elude the French. Ia ther wards, until the Englisa fleet was destroyed the channel couid not © considered clear, and the Freuch nust perforce keep their great fleet 'massed in order to be superie at all imes in numbers in the event of 'orcing the English to an engage- ment. The British admiral further argu- 'd that with the French flest mas- sed in order to maintain ths advan- there waz less danger to British merchant vesseis from French cruisers. The cruisers were not available to scour the seas, 1s they would have been had the English fleet been destroyed. The contention of the British ad- miral was sustained and his course of action- was regarded as good itrategy. a During the war of 1812 an Ameri- 'an squadron of four or five frigates under command of Rogers was as- sembled and ordered to the east- ward on a cruise. What was the affect? English frigates cruising sing- 'v and in pairs of American coast were drawn in. A flying squadron vas sent in search of the American force, and so long as the American fuaargn existed as a squadron the British were prevented from main- taining a patrol on the = American oast of single vessels assigned to istricts.

PORTUGAL SEETHING 1 ent WITH WAR FEELING AGAINST POOR OLD GERMANY, fhe Whole Country Antagonistic to the Kaiser's Land--Demand That War be Declaped. London, Aug. 11.--Portugal ' is seething with smouldering excite- ment and outspoken sentiments of antagonistic feeling against Ger- many are heard on all sides. Re- ports received here state that Ger- man cruisers have sunk two Portu- 8uese gunboats = while the latter were engaged in seizing coal at Ma- n Portuguese Africa. nf of this news caused such an outbreak that prompt government action was required to quell it, Lis- bon papers were asked to print "diplomatic denials" of the report. There are now about 30 Qerman cargo afid passenger boats in the harbor here. They were inform- ed that they must take up anchorage farther up the river, and were told that they would not be per itted to leave without express TE Four Portuguese battleships have taken up their positions at the en- france of the harbor to enforce this rule. Citizens are loud Yn their demands that Portugal unite with England and France in the war against Ger- many. Germans are keeping to the seclusion of their houses, and when they are recognized on the streets they are greeted with hisses and jeers. , There are about 40 Ameri- cans stranded here and some of them are financially embarrassed. American Ambassador Birch is now abroad on leave and is supposed to be "in Germany. Charge d'Affaires Bailey is ill and General Lowry is now in full charge ofthe situation. The Royal Mail ship Alcantara, which arrived in the harbor yester- day from South American ports, was directed by the English govern- ment to refuse all passengers except English and French to land. No exception to this rule was permitted by British Minister Carnegie The lisbon government has ordered that all exports of foodstuffs from Portu- gal shall cease, and at the same time the minister of war and marine suggested general mediation.

AUSTRIAN EMPEROR IXTREMELY SELFISH. At Risk of Estranging Rumanes, He Tolerates Hungarian Tactics. Although the first edition of Wick- ham Steed"s book, "The Hapsburg Monarchy," was confiscated on ac count of 'an'obnoxious passage, which in the eyes of the Austrian Public Prosecutor, constituted "lese majes- te," the second edition, recently pub- lished, retains the passage in ques- tion. The editor, however, has insert- ed in his preface the following com- ment on it: "Had it contained any insult to majesty, or any historical or psycho- logical inaccuracy. I should not have hesitated to revise it." The passage in question is intend- ed to show that even at the risk of estranging important races like the Rumanes of Transylvania, Emperor Francis Joseph has tolerated the Magyarizing tactics of Tiza and other subsequent Hungarian 6 pre- miers and reads: "The attitude frequently taken up by Francis Joseph toward the admin- istrative oppression of various sec- tions of his subjects constitutes a hard 'psychological problem. While personally - unselfish, generous, and just, ever ready to redress a private injury to oralleviate private distress, Francis Joseph, as a ruler, has often seemed callous to the point of cymi- cism and 'constitutional' to the point of injustice. "Provided that a minister obtained for him the 'necessities of the state' dn the form of money and recruits, he appeared to care little how heav- ily the policy of the minister might press in other respects upon whole sections of his loyal subjects. in- deed, the bearing of Francis Joseph has sometimes resembled that of the landlord who ignores the petty tyr- anny exercised by his estate and dis- misses the agent only when revenue falls off or disturbances occur, Francis Joseph has rarely borrowed trouble or insisted that the political action of his ministers must conform to private ethical standards."
