OCR “Tm: CASE or Damion." This pamphlet gives in faerinzilc the secret military con- vention between Belgium and England found among the war archives of Belgium when the Germans occupied Brussels. It furnishes conclusive proof that the Belgian general staff as early as 1906 was secretly working out plans to co-operate with Eng- land and France against Germany, though pretending to be neutral. Price 10 cents. FIFTEEN BILLIONS [From our Berlin Corrcspoizdcaitl Y unanimously agreeing upon a fur- ther war credit of live billions the Ger- man Reichstag has proven that the present great epoch is not being faced by a petty race but by a nation seriously determined to sacrifice everything for its national honor. In this respect the appropriation of the enormous sum of five billions for war Purposes cannot be rated high enough when one considers that at the beginning of this Year the Reichstag already agreed to a military tax of one billion to be followed On August 4th by the first war loan of five billions. Adding to this, the four billions subscribed by Austria-Hungary to her war loan, we arrive at the following grand total 05 the war fund at the disposal of the gov- ernments of the two central powers: MARKS.

Who Would, a year ago, have believed such a result possible? It bears eloquent testi- mony to the strength and self-sacrifice of the Germanic allies. British statesmen, when boasting that the last billion would decide the war, fondly imagined that they ‘V0100 control this last billion themselves. T0'daY they may have their doubts as to Whether their calculations will prove cor- rect. At any rate they will scarcely have expected such an outcome as the figures Show Of the German and the Austro-Hum garian war loan. This result is all the more remarkable, because it was not b’0“Eht about by means such as the island ingdom adopted in instructing the Bank Of England to advance to subscribers to the W3!‘ loan for a period of three years, the full amounts at a rate of interest 1 Per THE FATHERLAND The Liberty Fountain Pen It a Pen that is Worth it is MK gold and will be 0 v sold lot‘ 9 $1.00 on condition that this coupon is sent with the or- der.
