BELGIUM'S RIGHTS
With a Parallel Cited from the Best
of Authority.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: DR. Dernburg's article on Bel
gian invasion in The Tribune of to-
DAY prompts me, as a puzzled Ameri-
can. TO ask the doctor how long it has
been since either an individual or ma
ton, signing an agreement with scy-
eral other individuals or nations, for
feits the right to talk over specific par
ticulars involved in the agreement,
such talk being confined to slgners Of
the agreement?
If | had signed an agreement with
several men, pledging on my part TO do
a certain thing with my property or
business, and these men had bound
themselves 10 help me under certain
conditions, fail 10 see where It would
be at all unlawful or in the slightest
degree dishonorable 10 ask any one of
the parties Just how far | could count
on his help If another party 20 the con-
tract should play false and damage me.
Should need financial assistance, | be-
lieve ! would be strictly within my
rights if | prudently asked whether ]
could expect $500 or $4,000; and in
common with the vast majority OF
thinking American ! fail to see why
this same principle would not apply in
national affairs. provided the nation,
like Belgium, confined all OF these ar
engagements to any or all OF the parties
signing the agreement, and did not make
fresh alliances with outside parties. In
this case it is evident from many
sources that Belgium mad reason 10
/ fear German treachery; that for sew
eral years Germany had coveted Bel
GUM, and fully intended. as Bernhard
and many other Germans had declared,
TO violate her neutrality in the event
OF war with France.
In view OF this. it is no wonder that
/ Belgium did not try. as in 1870. to Sc
cure a promise Of aid from Germany.
/ Why should ! try TO secure promise
of aid from a neighbor who. ! learn on
/ the best Of authority. intends to wrcst
( from me corner Of my property?
/ Just as would have the right TO make
| Tia spaeilc inquiries a. financial AID.

A CIVIL SERVICE ARMY
The Idea Stirs a Vigorous Protest
from Public Employe.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The articles in your paper by
Arthur A. Henning and G. Hoenack re-
gardng military training for civil SER
vice employees have aroused in me not
only anger, but disgust for what ap-
pears to me 10 be the cowardice of the
writers, presumably American citizens.
! have only one question to ask Of
them: Is either of them member OF
the New York State Militia?
Have they any knowledge of the du-
ties of civil service employees? Do they
think that we tfor | am such an en-
ploye) do nothing that could be called
work, but merely sit by and wait for
the LIST and 10Th of the month to draw
our salaries? II that IS really their
opinion, they are due for rude awak-
euing. Civil service employees work as
hard as any employees in private con-
Germs, and because they happen TO re-
ceive checks from the United States
government instead Of from private
concerns is not sufficient occasion for
compelling them TO become military
employees as we'll as civil employees FOR
no other compensation than the priv
ilege of working for the United states
government.
Mr.. lIocnack may be assured that tie
authorities in charge will give his pro-
posal the consideration that IS due II.
and that the authorities quite recognize
and appreciate the distinction between
civil ard military duties and will keep
these duties distinct and separate. !
can also assure Mr.. Hoenack that civil
service employees will be among the
first to volunteer for military duty IN
case of any foreign complications. |
would also advise him TO read the Clvl'
Service Act. y. y. MAJ En-

Another Belgium Below the Rio Grande.

The beautiful picture of Zapata and Villa con-
Quoting themselves decorously in Mexico CITY
NAV be comforting to the Wilson administration.
But the report of Consul General Hanna issued
bv the Red Cross gives this country the other
side of the story. We have on our southern Dor
der another Belgium. Women and children are
starving as a result of four years OF anarchy
and no end is in sight. IN fact, along with this
news Of the pitful condition Of the populace
comes the declaration of Provisional President
Gutierrez that the crisis will soon be the worst in
Mexico's history. What is going on may be
gathered from the Provisional Presidents order
TO Villa and Zapata to stop all summary eNecu-
tions. The chief product of Mexico just now Is
widows and orphans, while the Provisional Presi-
dent wrings his hands over the disregard Of his
authority.
Consul General Hanna in appealing for aid
asks if this country will repudate Its obligations
It's responsibility is heavy. The Wilson admin
istration's attitude has made conditions worse in
Mexico. Anarchy has been promoted by its
moral meddling, unsupported by force and not
based upon any well considered policy. The ap-
peal for funds should meet with a generous re-
Spouse, for Mexico's suffering is disgrace to this
country.
