says this advance is still contest

THAT SCRAP or PAPER.

And now comes the German chancellor within
the claim that he, too, "msquoted" about
that scrap of paper" The contention is rather
obtuse' but seems TO hold that the treaty was a
scrap of paper not before. but after, Germany
had invaded the Belgians territory This is
rather remarkable claim. II is, In fact unique
IT means. in effect, that Germany could not un-
Gnrstand Why England went to war over what
was a treaty in Germanys view but of which
she did not hesitate TO make scrap Of paper
by violating its spirit and its letter Germany,
according 10 this statement, violated the treaty
with her eyes open and knowing that it was a
treaty. The apology is worse than the offense.
ANY small boy who did not know dollar bill!
was money and tore II up with that understand
ing would have far better claim TO declare it
was scrap of paper than he who knew It was
bill at first and contended 1t was a scrap of
paper not until he had reduced 1t 10 small bits
It Is also interesting to note that the German
chancellor says he Is surprised" that such a
matter should have been given attention by the
American press; merely another illustration OF
the difference In the point OF view.
