The CAUSE OF The
GERMAN-ENGLISH WAR
REPORT OF SIR WIN. GOSCHEN.
BRITISH AMBASSADOR AT
BERLIN.
The Violation Of BeIgium's Neutrality
and Refusal Of Germany 70 With
draw Troops, the Reason.

London The British foreign office
Friday issued The report of Sir viii
liam Goschcn, former ambassador at
Berlin, on the rupture OF diplomatic
relations with Germany.
The report, dated Aug. g, says that
the ambassador called on the German
secretary Of state, Gottlieb Won Jagow.
and inquired whether Germany would
refrain from violating Belgian neutral
ity.
Herr Won Jagow." the report con
tlnucs, replied that he was sorry to
say his answer must be no., since
German troops having crossed the
, frontier that morning. BELGIAN neutral
|ity already had been violated Herr
Won JagOw again went into the rea-
}sons why the imperial government had
been Obliged TO take this step, namely.
that they had TO advance into France
by the quickest and easiest way TO get
well ahead with their operations and
endeavOr to strike decisive blow as
early as possible.
at was a matter of life or death for
them, as if they had gone by the
more southern route they could not
have hoped. in view Of the paucity of
roads and the strength of the for
tresscs, to have gone through without
formidable opposition, entailing great
loss of time.
This loss of time would mean time
gv,g. I
ing up of their troops to the German
frontier Rapidly of action was the
great asset, while that of Russia was
the inexhaustible supply of troops.
II pointed out to Herr Won Jagow
that this fact accomplished. in view
of the violation of the Belgian from
tier rendered, as he would readily I'M
derstand, the situation exceedingly
grave, and | asked him whether there
still was not time to draw back and
avoid possible consequences which
both he and ! would deplore.
HE replied that for reasons he had
given me, it was now impossible for
him to draw back"
The British ambassador went to the
German foreign office again the same
afternoon and informed the secretary
of state that unless the imperial gov
eminent could give assurances by u
o'clock that they would proceed no
further with the violation of the Bel
gian frontier and stop their advance,
he had been instructed by Sir Edward
Grey to demand his passports and to
inform the imperial government that
his majesty's government would have
to take all the steps in its power to
uphold neutral Belgium and the oh,
servance of the treaty to which Ger
many was as much party as Great
Britain
Herr Won Jagow," says the report,
replied that to his great regret he
could give no other answer than that
which he had given me early in the
day-that the safety of the empire rem
dered it necessary that the imperial
troops should advance through Bel
GUM.
Herr Won Jagow expressed his
poignant regret at the crumbling of
his entire policy and that of the i'm
peril chancellor, which had been to
make friends with Great Britain, and
then, through Great Britain, to get
closer to France"

of having been shaved but few hours

that he visited some local barber shop

the chief of police at the local railroad
station during the evening with several
companions and they were taken to
