The Unfolding War Drama
CFrom the Washington Post)

danger of attack from Belgium are
likely to spur the British population
into quicker action. There is no
thought in that country Ct any terms
of peace except such as may be die
tated by Britain and her allies at the
end of a war that has humbled Ger
many. British public mer fOresee a
long and costly war, calling for all
the resources of the British empire.
They seem to be in tacit agreement
with the Germans in one thing, name
ly, that the real tug of war will come
between the British and German en-
pires From the first, the German
emperor and his people have picked
upon England as their most danger
Gus and formidable enemy.
SO long as the British fleet sue
ceeds in bottling up German ports
and keeping German commerce OFF
the seas the advantage II with Eng
land, and the longer the war con-
tinues under such conditions the
greater becomes the advantage. But
it is not to be supposed that Germany
will submit to slow defeat by stran-
] gulation without making desperate
/ effort to shake off tho incubus.
/ German submarines have perform
/ ed deadly work already in this war.
/ The test on the sea is yet to come.
! German successes on the sea on the
scale of her stupendous operations
on land would test to the utmost the
endurance of all her combined enc
mics. Tho latest Developments of
the war are all-suficient notice to
the world of the amazing audacity
and skill of German arms.

Not a Fortunate
Exhibit for Germany
CFrom the New York Tribune)

the prospect of an attack by Germany
on France and should have sought
TO get a definite promise of help
from Great Britain in case her neu-
trality should be violated.
We can see nothing irregular or
dishOnorable in the compact dis
cussed in the document discovered
at Antwerp, since Great Britain was
pledged by treaty to DO everything
possible TO maintain Belgium's neu-
trality and independence. But our
good friend of the "Staats-Zeitung,
who himself has been Bernhardized
TO the extent of considering all
treaties and all pledges of honor
among nations as only so many
scraps of paper" Indignantly seizes
upon the British promise to help
Belgium according to contract as a
piece of characteristic British per-
fidy." Under the caption "Perfdious
Albion" Herr Ridder wrote in yes
terday's issue Of his newspaper.
That England used the violation
of Belgium's neutrality by Germany
only as preteXt for participating
in the war was clear TO every one
who recognized this was a contest
between the British pretensions to
world sovereignty and Germany's de-
sire for a place in the sun. The de-
velopments Of history and the pres
sure of facts exposed as hollow

Britain. IL would be pleasant 10
think that Germany. realizing as
strongly as Great Britain ana her
obligations to protect a power whose
neutrality and independence Prussia
had Joined in guaranteeing, mad put
into writing a promise 20 the Brus-
sells government 10 furnish lOO,OOO
troops to cooperate with the Belgian
army in case Belgiums territory
should be overrun by an invader.
In the face of such an additional
pledge Germany might have hesitated
much longer before committing the
manifold crimes against the innocent
people of Belgium of which she now
stands guilty. The Kaiser might
have been spurred into saving his
own honor and that of Germany II
was his duty to attack the hrst
foreign foe to violate Belgian soil.
even though that foe wore a German
uniform. He should have waived his
title as German Kaiser rather than
consent to an order of invasion WhlcH
smirched prussias honor.
II is a pitiful defence OF Germany's
attitude which produces a testimonial

pledges and sets beside IT a criminal
breach of Prussia's treaty pledges.
Such an apology is worse than no
apology. II the German authorities
find in Brussels or Antwerp any more
such data exhibiting Great Britain
fidelity in crushing contrast to Ger
many's perhdy, they had better burn
them instead Of spreading them on
record before the critical Judgment OF
the world.

The Boer Revolt in South Africa
lFrom DC New vorL SUM

The proclamation Of martial law in
the Union of South Africa leaves no
room for doubt that the Government
takes the news of a revolt Of Beers
against its authority seriously. II is
significant that the meetings called
to sympathize with England and
pledge aid to her in the war have not
always been harmonious. While the
loyal Beers have been in the ma
iority and with their British friends
have carried the necessary resolu-
tions, a hostile feeling has cropped
out and sometimes it was difficult to
conduct the meetings in an orderly
manner.
On one occasion recently General
Christian de Wet was not allowed a
hearing by the loyal clement and
the presumption is that, in spite OF
report that he would take the field
for the Government he did not ap-
prove Of a campaign against the

Germans in Southwest Africa
Whether General De Wet has any
idea of sharing the fortunes of
Colonel Maritz's rebellious command
may be doubted. De Wet is, or until
recently he was, Minister of Agricul-
ture, and outwardly o loyalist. A
man of few words and weighty in
council, he is not likely to forswear
any obligation he enters into On
the other hand, he has never shown
any marked enthusiasm for British
rule. 1t was accepted philosophically
by HIM. His influence with the
Beers, it should be noted, is not as
great as that Of General Louis Botha,
the Premier. and of General J. s.
SHUTS, the able and vigorous Minis
ter of Defence. The loyalty of these
men cannot be under suspicion for a
moment. II may be assumed that
the majority Of the Beers in South
Africa will stand by the Government.
