Canadian troops were moved northward to the aid of the French and the telegrams have furnished us with glowing accounts of the magnificent gallantry they displayed near St. Julica where they, and a forco of Zouaves, found themselves surrounded by the enemy in greatly superior numbers. The story of how, when reinforcement came 10 their aid, they advanced, tured their guns and took German trenches will form a brilliant chapter in the history of the war, Though even tually the Germans captured the village of St. Julien, it was only achieved mothstanding the numerical superiori- by of their forces at this point-by methods unworthy of any civilised people-methods which, as bath Bir Jons FRENCH and Lord KITCHENER pointed out, are contrary to The Hague Convention. For Germany, however, The Hague Convention, like the Treaty guaranteeing the neutrality of Belgium, has evidently become a mere scrap of paper. She has become lost to all sense of national honour, and can have no respect for the world's opinion of her acts, which Lord KITCHENER, with his great experience of warfare, has not hesitated to publicly describe es
