THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 16, 1914
PRESENT WAR FLAG
OF 68TH TO STATEMUSEUM Charles Marlatt and Nimrod Parrott Act as Committee to Turn Over Banner to Governor Ralston. Charles Marlatt of this city and Nimrod Parrott of Centerville, who served in the Sixty-eighth Indiana injantry during the Civil War, will go to Indianapolis tomorrow in Mr. Parrott's automobile to serve on a committee which is to present to Governor Ralston, acting for the state, the original battle flag of the famous regiment. One regimental battle flag of this regiment is now displayed at the state house under a glass case. It is torn by shot and shell, but it is not valued so highly by the veterans of the regiment as the flag which is to be presented to the governor tomorrow, which is first intheir affections because it was the first flag given to the Sixty-eighth. The original flag, believed lost for a half century, has just been found, and their is an interesting story in connection with its history. This flag was made by the ladies of Greensburg, Indiana, Ind., and presented to the regiment by a Mrs. Barry of that town. Wraps Flag About Body. At the battle of Monfordsville, Ky., the Sixty-eighth was surrounded by the Confederate forces and required to surrender to General Bragg. The colonel, E. A. Ming, took the Greensburg flag nd wrapped it about his body. When the regiment was paroled and sent home he returned the flag to Mrs. Barry. Later the regiment was exchanged for Confederate prisoners, and it returned to the front, but with another flag, the one now at the state house. When the regimental reunion was held a Rushville last montn, it was learned that the first flag was in a vault in the court house in that city. Then for the first time many of the veterans learned that the flag at the state house was not the one presented the regiment by the ladles of Greensburg. It was decided to return the old flag to the custody of the state, and Governor Ralston readily agreed to accept it. It will be taken to Indianapolis tomorrow by Milton Curry of Metamora, the last color sergeant of the regiment.

WILSON TELLS BELGIANS U. S. REMAINS NEUTRAL
BY LEASED WIRE) WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. It would be unwise. It would be premature foolhardiness for this government, no matter how fortunately separated from the present trouble; it would even be Inconsistent with the neutral position of any nation, which like this has no part In the contest, to form and express final judgment." This was the keynote of President Wilson's reply to the Belgian commissioners who came to the White House today to protest against the wrongs which they declare their nation has suffered from Germany In the present war. The President's address follows: "Permit me to say with most sincere pleasure I receive you as representatives of the King' of the Belgians, a people for whom the people of the United States feel so strong a friendship and admiration, a king for whom they entertain so sincere a respect; and to express my hopes that we may have many opportunities for earning and deserving their regard. United States Is Neutral. "You are not mistaken in believing that the people of this country love justice, seek the true paths of progress and have a " passionate regard for the rights of humanity. It is a matter of profound pride to meet the representatives of such a people 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 consid ASK CITYJFFICIALS Germans Invite Mayor to Mass Meeting. A committee representing the German Alliance called at the city building yesterday afternoon and invited the mayor, members of the board of public works and police commissioners to attend the mass meeting at Beallview park Sunday afternoon for the purpose of denouncing prohibition and to advocate saloon reforms. The committee wanted the city officials to be in the automobile parade preceeding the meeting and in which there will be two hundred machines; the cars to be decorated with American and German flags. A German flag was left at the city building but only displayed for a short time, the officials evidently believing it would be poor policy at such a time to permit such a display. Members of the committee who visited the city building were William Duning, Jr., Fred Hackman and Mr. Von Kuedell of Ft. Wayne, editor of a German newspaper in that city. ENGLISH CARE FOR GERMAN PRISONERS BY LEASED WIRE. SOUTHAMPTON, Eng., Sept. 16.

Tears of gratitude filled the eyes of many of the Germans when the royal party left the hospital. AVIATOR KILLED BY LEASED WIRE. PUEBLO, Colo., Sept. 16. Welden B.

er the claims to the impartial sympathy. "I thank you for the document you have put into 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 attentive perusal and my most thoughtful consideration. "You will, I am sure, not expect me to say more. Presently, I pray God, this war will be over. The day of accounting will then come when I take it for granted the nations of Europe will assemble to determine a settlement. When wrongs have been committed, their relative responsibility Involved will be assessed. The nations of the world have fortunately by agreement made a plan for such a reckoning and settlement. What such a plan cannot compass, the opinion of mankind, the final arbiter in all such matters, will supply. ' "It would be unwise, it would be premature foolhardiness for the government, no matter how fortunately separated from the present struggle; it would even be inconsistent with the neutral position of any nation, which like this has no part in the contest, to form and express a final judgment. "I need not aSsure that this conclusion, in which I instinctively feel that you yourselves will concur, is spoken frankly because in warm friendship and as the best means of perfect understanding between us."

ITALIAN SYMPATHY WITH ALLIED ARMY People Make Demonstration of Friendly Feeling: of Belgian Ruler. BY LEASED WIRE. ROME, Sept. 16. Strong manifestations of sympathy for the allies are being shown here by followers of the "war group," a clique of political leaders, who favor war against Austria and Germany. It Is becoming more and more evident that the government would flood itself with unpopularity should it attempt to give any aid to Germany and Austria. There also seems to be a lessening of the hostile sentiment against war on the part of the socialists. A friendly demonstration was made last night under the windows of the Belgian Legation. Crowds waved Belgian flags and cried: "Long live good King Albert." A manifestation is being planned for tonight under the windows of the Farnez Palace, where the French embassy is located. King Emmanuel is continually urging his minister to remain calm and to air every power at their command to keep the people cool and to prevent any untoward action which might lead to an outbreak. If Italy avoids the shoals of war it will be the result of the endless efforts of the King.
KING OF BELGIUM PREPARED FOR WAR BY LEASED WIRE. LONDON, Sept. 16. A correspondent of the Chronicle tells of an interview he had in Antwerp with King Albert of Belgium. He declares the young monarch foresaw the war and prepared for it , is long ago as 1912, and says the courage, ability and personal popularity of King Albert have been responsible for the stubborn, reroic defense of the Belgian army. The correspondent continues: "His majesty speaks with utmost freedom and frankness. It was the king's firm utterances that the war was not merely a 'bolt from the blue.' The sovereign tragedy was a mere pretext. Any other incident might have served as well. To the knowledge of his majesty, the war had been deliberately prepared. "He impressed me as overwhelmed by the agony and anguish of martyred Belgium. His anxious sympathy for the sufferings of his people was reflected in his every word and expression. " 'What will remain,' the king asked in despair, 'of Belgium's thriving industries, of its commerce so laboriously built up? Brussels and Liege and Namur in the powerful enemy's hands, Malines, Louvain and Aerschot destroyed, and the whole territory given over to plunder. When victory finally decides in our favor, what wreckage will have accumulated!'" SURPRISE WEDDING BECOMES KNOWN HAGERSTOWN, Ind., Sept. 16. Friends of Mrs. Jennie Hatfield of Greensfork, and Elvin Benson of Hagerstown, were surprised to learn of their marriage, May 18, at Newport, Ky., the secret leaking out Sunday. The bride has been residing for the summer among relatives here. They will probably locate in Hagerstown. Mrs. Hatfield was the widow of Bert Hatfield, a mail clerk, who met death in a railroad wreck several years ago near Richmond.

CERTAIN BY LEASED WIRE. LONDON, Sept. 17. Despite the fact that the German movement toward the east is slow, the fact that they are falling back before the assaults of the allies shows that they have so far been unable to stop the Anglo-French advance. The statement indicates that the First British corps, under Lieutenant General Sir Douglas Halg, which did such valiant service during their recent retirement of the allies, has been bearing the brunt of the fighting. This section of the allied army, flanked as it is by the French troops, evidently makes up part of the allies' center. - Lieutenant General Sir Douglas
