Britain Forced Into War.

Nioaltion of the neutrality of Belgi-
um by the armies of Germany has
become a leading issue in the Euro
pean conflagration. 1t has brought
Britain into the field in armed force.
The British cannot afford to permit
the German empire to hold or even
dominate the low countries. with
their admirable ports and their prox-
unity to English waters and the Eng
lish shores. Quite aside from any OBJ
legations as a member of the triple
entente. Britain will defend the neu-
trality Of both Holland and Belgium
to the full extent of its power. 1t
must do so as a matter of self-pres-
ervation.
The action of Germany in the pres
ent war is quite different from that
of 1870. when it prepared to invade
France At that time both beliger-
ents early notified the king Of Belgi-
um that the neutrality Of his country
would be strictly observed. Britain
was as anxious then as it is now to
preserve Belgium's status and Queen
NictOria's government made its wishes
plain. Il was not necessary for her
majesty's ministers to go to the ex-
tent of issuing an ultimatum on the
subject. as the British government did
in the present instance. Nothing but
