THE VIOLATION OF BELGIUM.

GERMANY'S OFFICIAL DEFENCE | OF GREAT CRIME,

LA GĦASTLY DOCUMENT.” ⠀

SCATHING AMERICAN COMMENT. Interesting extracts from the New York Timer review of the German Goverment's extended report on the atrocities in Belgium (which 6lls a White Paper of 352 pages) were quoted by the Chronicle.

One can understand a people (says the New York Times) in whom the balance is lost, crying out that their destiny is greater than

which the law

they deliberately break to gain it. That may be faith. But when the same people, having broken the law, soleninly protest against its being broken by those whom they lawlessly attack, the possibility of understanding is limited to the ground of psycho-pathology.

The record is amazing. On August 3ri, 1014, Sir Edward Goschen, British Am. bassador to Berlin, notified the German Imperial Government that unless it with- drew its troops from Belgian soil, where they had no right to be, he would have to ask for his passports. Great Britain could not stand aside while the neutralidy of Belgium, which they had a solemnly agreed to respect, was violated,

"JUST FOR & word.".

To this the German Imperial Chan- cellor replied:—

Just for a word-sieutrality--a word which in wat times has been so often disregarded, Great Britain is going to make war on a kindred nation. On August 4th, the German Imperial Chancellor, addressing the Reichstag, said:-

Necessity lonows no law. Our troops have occupied Luxemburg, and have perhaps already procrated into. Bel- gium, nations.

This is against the law of After that it seems incredible that the Imperial German Government should seek to justify its frightfulness in Belgium by the plow that the resistance of the Belgian people was contrary to international Taw.

"DISHONOURABLE WAR."

That it should imagine itself righteous ly aggrieved, besides; that it should invoke the wrath of law to punish con. quered, outraged Belgium-that would be to turn the reason inside out.

Yet that is what it does, its words tha: follow :-

The Imperial German Government enters an emphatic and solemn protest against population which waged a dishonourable war by the most con temptible means again the German soldiers. An emphatic protest, too, must lie against a Government which completely misconstrued its dulics, which gave free rain to the insane pas sions of its people, and which now does not shrink from throwing off its own heavy guilt by meretricious abuse of the German Army.

Se ends the preface written by the Cer man Foreign Office.

The beginning of the prefact is of a piece with the conclusion:

CAMPAIGN OF PESSIMISM.

DUTCHMAN'S VIEW.

The question of the shower of pessimista that is passing over Britain is worth dis- cussing, writes the London correspondent of the Nieuwe Rotterdamische Courant. To begin with, it will be well ant to take the Times and Daily Anit as a standard. Instead of discussing the events of the day in a triumphant tone, and addressing im- passionate remarks to the blinded enemy, as the other papers are doing, they con- stantly give prominence to the least favourable reports and make the position

end that this is done to arouse the people and open their eyes to the seriousness of the situation and stimulate them to the utmost exertion. This is all very well, but I can perfectly understand those Eug lishmen who are indignant at such tactics. For besides the galling fact that the Ger- man Press is eagerly seizing on the lead ing articles and headings of the Times and Daily Mail, there is the irrefutable truth. that it is all very well to convince the people of the seriousnon of the position. but that pessimism is a dangerous to Hope is a prop; more that that. it may safely be said that a people which no practically defeated. longer believes in victory has already been

It is a ghastly document. The German Foreign Office, putting it forth as proof "convincingly arrayed that a war of frightfulness in Belgium was wholly justified, succeeds only in showing what gulfs of darkness fie between the Imperial German war. mind and the thoughts of civilisation,

It proves the case against itself, it proves that militarism, which has done this thing to a once magnificent under standing, may not abide in a law-govern. od world at all.

And what a cunning mind it is in devis ing means of preservation! It performs niraclea in chemistry, commands nitrogen from the air, allots food to 05,000,000 people by ounces of proteids and calories, and yet wonders with a kind of cavego superstition at the moral horror with which the world regards the rape of Belgium.

Why does Belgium matter? Why all the row about it? Is the destiny of Ger many, then, nothing? So speaks the Im. peral German war wind.
