The United States May
Be Treated Like Belgium.


Suppose Canada IS TO be invaded by Ger
many and she discovers that the forts Of
Canada are too strong 20 be broker down.
and that the best way to reach Canada is
through the United States-by way OF Bos-
ton and Maine. or up the Hudson River. Sup
pose Germany brought a fleet OF transports
10 New York and demanded that We permit
them 10 sail up the Hudson River. Or Sup
pose again that Germany should descend upon
Canada by way OF the ST. Lawrence, and Great
Britain sent a feet OF transports over here
to night the German invaders. and decided
the best way TO get at them would be to send
her troops up the Hudson.
What would be our duty in the matter?
We are not protected by any Hague confer
ences. no nation guarantees our neutrality.
We would stand upon our simple rights as
an independent nation and say to both Great
Britain and Germany:
" cannot permit you TO use our territory
for an attack upon a ~neighbor with whom we
are not at war. II you insist upon making the
attempt We shall use whatever force IS neces-
sary to prevent you carrying out your plan"
Suppose the Kaiser should say TO US: so
much the worse for you. then. we will go
through your country. and your ultimate fate
will be decided at the end Of the war"
This is exactly what happened TO Belgium.

A new international Law which will sooner

MILLION PRISONERS
OF These Germany Claims To Have
100000

Amsterdam. Jan. IT, Correspond
ence of The Associated Press OF
fetal reports state that the prisoners
of war in Germany and Austria now
number 100000 The Cologne Gazette
compares this figure with the 200,-
600 prisoners who, it asserts, are held
by the Allies.
The German official renort gives
the following figures of prisoners in
termed in Germany:
French, 1850 officers. 215,9O5 men;
Russians, 3.575 officers, 306,294 men;
BeIgians, 612 officers, 36,S32 men;
British, 492 officers, 1924 men.
These totals do not include prison
ers now en- route to concentration
camps. or a portion of those captured
in Russian Poland. The Austrian
prisoners are estimated at 100000
Russians and Seryians.
The total of 100000 is more than
double the total of tire FrancoPrus-
