cellor "Documcnts on the Anglo Belgian military agreement, which we have found in the meantime, show plainly enough how England regarded this neutrality. As you know, we found in the archives of the Belgian foreign office documents which showed that England in 1911 was de- termined to throw troops into Bel gium, without the assent of the Bcl- gian government, if war had then broken out. In other words, to do exactly the same thing for which, with all the pathos of virtuous indigna- tion. it now reproaches Germany.
 Tn some later dispatch, Sir Ed ward Grey, ] believe, informed Bel gium that he did not believe England would take such a step because he did not think English public opinion would justify that action. And still people in the United States wonder that l characterized as scrap of pa per the treaty whose observance, aC- Cording to responsible British states men, should be dependent on the pleasure of British public opinion-a treaty which England herself had long since undermined with it's min- tary agreements with Belgium.
 Refuse to Promise Neutrality.
 ''Rcmember too that Sir Edward Grey expressedly refused to assure us of Englands neutrality, even in the vent that Germany respected Belgian neutrality.
 T can understand, therefore, the English displeasure at my chara ctcr- ization of the treaty of 1889 as a scrap of paper, for this scrap Of paper was for England extremely valuable fur nlshlng an excuse before the world for embarlling in the war.
 'I hope, however, that in the United States you will see clearly enough that England in this matter, too, acted solely on the principal Of right or wrong, my interest
 The chancellor during the conver- sation had twice risen to take a few impatient steps about the room. Hn spoke calmly enough, but with an undercurrent of deep feeling, partictI- larly when he mentioned his efforts for an understanding iwth England and world peace. which he had hoped would come from them based on an between Great Britain Germany and the United States; and with a note of thorough conviction in the justice of the German people to- ward Belgium.

ing damaged. and it was dangerous for the big battle cruisers to follow. The fact that only eleven men were wounded aboard the Lion. which led the line. indicates that the British casualties were light. It is possible that more of the Bluecher's crew were picked up by the British dcstroyers.
 Powerful Vessels.
 All the vessels named by the Brit ish official press bureau as having talk en part in the naval engagement ex- cept the Bluecher are battle cruisers, all heavily armed and capable of great speed.
 The Bluecher which was sunk, was an armored cruiser, 4S9 feet long and displacement 15,550 tons. Her complement was S85 officers and men. She was built at Xii in 1908 at a cost of s6,50O.0OO.
 Her speed was a little more than 26 knots an hour The Bluecher car ried twelve S.2 inch and eight six-inch guns and sixteen 24 pounders. She also was equipped with three torpe- do tubes.
 2S,OOO Ton Ship.
 The Derflinger is a 2s,oO0 ton ship which was completed July 14 of last year. She is armed with eight 12- inch and twelve six-inch guns and twelve 24-pounders and has in addi- ton five torpedo tubes. There Is nc record available of her speed.
 The Seydlitz is somewhat smaller than the Derf1nger, her displacement being 25,000 tons. She carries ten II - inch guns and twelve six-inch guns and twelve 24-pounders, four 14- pounder antt-aerial guns and four tor pedo tubes. She also Is new boat. having been completed in May. 1913.
