France and GermAny-Are now en-
sAged in actual warfare. but two Of
them, Germany and France. not only
have not declared war against each
other. a. far a. 10 known here. but
have not even severed diplomatic rs-
lAtions. This in despite the fact that
Germany's ultimatum to France has
either been ignored or rejected.
The explanation Of this would APP
pear to be that Germany and France
are each seeking to throw upon the
other the onus Of beginning the war.
In fact. while the nations OF Europe
are flying at each others threats, they
are vieing with each other In protest
ing their desire to maintain peace. and
they repudiats the, responsibility for
plunging the whole continent into
bloodshed.
In this remarkable situation, France.
according to British opinion, has the
strongest justification. She certainly
was the last to mobilize and seems
to have taken the greatest precau-
tons to avoid frontier collisions.
On the other hand; Germany. in ad-
dition to invading French territory
without making formal declaration
OF war, has violated the neutrality
laws by the seizure Of Gutenberg and
declines to give any pledge to respect
Belgian neutrality.
II is difficult to see how Great Bri-
tain can avoid being drawn into the
conflict to protect Belgian and Dutch
neutrality, cnd on this point Premier
AsQuith's official announcement in
Parliament is awaited with intense
anxiety.
