JAGOW, GREECE IN MIND,
UPHOLDS WAR IN BELGIUM
German Foreign Minister Compares Landing of Allies
at Salonica With Invasion of Albert's Kingdom
Calls British View "Cant," or "Schwindel."

cellor admitted that the violation Of
Belgian neutrality was wrong but
claimed It was justified by military
necessity. 1t was only subsequently,.
when the German Government realized
the feeling which had been aroused
throughout the civilized world by their
unprovoked attack on Belgium. that
they attempted to Justify II on the
ground that they had information OF an
intended attack by France through
Belgium.
Herr Won Jagow states that the
German Government made TO the Bel
gian Government the most liberal OFFERS
to spare that country the horrors OF
war. Tho world knows what those
horrors were. They were inflicted upon
IN innocent country for maintaining its
neutrality. as Il WAS bound to do by
It's International treaty obligations.
I'm the case Of Greece there In no
question Of q violation Of treaty obliga-
tions. since the neutrality Of Greece Is
not guaranteed by n Of the Powers.
"The despatch Of allied troops to
Greece was for the purpose of helping
Serbia, the ally of Greece. against an
u~nprovoked attack from Bulgaria, an
eventually in which Greece herself was
bound by treaty to come to the aid Of
Serbia.
ut IL impossible at the present mo-
ment to publish the confidential COM
munications that nave passed with
Greece. but 1t may be taken IA GER
tain that at no time ave the Allies
taken action In Greek territory that
would be unwelcome to Greece"

LONDON. oct. 13.-Edwin s. Montagu,
In the House Of Commons to-day that
the expenditures which Great Britain
must make because of the war amount
to twO-thirds Of the entire estimated
national yearly income His remarks
were made in response to inquiries con-
corning and criticisms of the new budget
that was submitted by Reginald Nc
Kenna. Chancellor of the Excheauer.
I'VE have had to keep and will con-
tinue to keep said Montagu, IAN i'm

gents, except their normal peace ex-
penditure.
w have advanced to the Allies such
sums as it was estimated would equip
and maintain In the field 5000. 0OO OF
their soldiers. We have "A right to be
proud OF our share. and We ought to
be proud of the way in which the pro-
poSoiS toT IuectiHk tno war expenditure
have been received by all CLASSES"
Mr.. Montagu added hat the country
had not yet bent itself to the task of
meeting the obligations imposed by
burdens which involved IN expenditure
amounting to not less than two-thirds Of
the entire estimated national yearly in
come. Therefore, IL followed. he said,
that every citizen ought to be prepared
TO put 10 less than half his current In
come at the disposal OF the state, either
by tau or loan.
To do this. Mr.. Montagu continued,
the civil population must stint itself
and rearrange it, whole life Will res
gard to the consumption OF luXuries and
foreign goods. There would. however
be still more money left in the pockets
Of the people that would have To be got
later by loan taxation. and this had
caused n feeling OF relief and given as
surance that the country could continue
to finance the war.
Mr.. Montagu aid in conclusion that
the Chancellor of the E~xchequer in
tended to develop, with all possible ra-
pidity. a compulsory taxation system fol-
the country, but that this in itself would
not be adequate to the case, and vol.
untary savings were essential 10 an ulti.
