It is open to question whether those who have so far looked on with folded urms at Germany's innumerable violations of the Laws of Nations would En ve shown such eagerness to preserve their neutrality if the offender had been less formidable. Germany has all along acted on the principle laid down by BISMARCK that any inclination on the part of nen- trals to intervene must be checked by deceiving, cajoling, or terrorising them All these expedients have been tried, and not, it must be confessed, without some measure of temporary success. They failed, however, at the outset to keep Great Britain out of the frey, despite its "contemptible little Army," and this has entirely upset Germany's calcula.. tions, which were hased on a speedy vic tory such as she had won before by similar methods, While we and the Allies must
