London, Oct. 13.-Answering the
United Press interview with Herr Won
Jagow, in which the German foreign
minister denounced the allies for
landing troops on Greek soil, state
ment from a British official source
was given me today, asserting that
"at no time have the allies taken ac-
tion in Greek territory that would be
unwelcome to Greece" and, going in
to questions Of neutrality, which
promises to figure finally as the big
issues Of the war.
The statement follows:
"The German government main
tains that the dispatch Of allied troops
to Saloniki is on par with German
violation OF Belgian neutrality. What
are the facts? fst
Germany was solemnly pledged,
together with the other powers, to
respect the neutrality Of Belgium.
The allied powers had no intention Of
violating that neutrality. In reply to
inquiries by Great Britain, France
made definite pledge on this point.
But Germany refused to do so and
violated Belgian neutrality dellber-
ately on the plea Of military necessity.
Belgium had not entered into an

WASHINGTON SQUAw 90

Seattle, Oct. 13.--"Well, she's OF

This was the decision reached by
F. L. Edgebert, 55 years old, when
he appeared before Cupid" Gage,
marriage license clerk. at the court
house here and asked for license to
wed Mrs. George, an aged Indian
squaw, widow, holder OF valuable
rights on the Squamish reservation.
They. guessed her age finally at 80
years. And Edgebert got the license.

agreement with the allied powers.
either to attack Germany or to allow
passage OF allied troops. The Ter
mans attempt to justify their action
on the ground that the French were
on the point Of attacking them
through Belgium. This was totally
untrue. and was suficiently disproved
Iby the fact that at the commencement
LOT hostilities French armies were
concentrated on the eastern frontier
|of France. The Germans. on the
other hand. concentrated the bulk Of
their forces on the Belgian frontier
and as soon as the war broke out
their main blow, which evidently had
been planned long In advance. was
delivered through Belgium.
1T should be noted that at the be-
ginning OF the war. the German
chancellor admitted the violation OF
the neutrality of Belgium was wrong,
but claimed II was justified by mill
tary necessity. It was only subse-
'quently. when the German govern
ment realized the feeling which had
been aroused throughout the civilized
world by their attack on Belgium.
that they attempted to justify 1t on
the ground that they had information
Of an intended attack by France
through Belgium.
Here von Jagow states that the
German government made the Bel
gian government most liberal offers
to spare that country from the hor-
rors OF war. The world knows what
these horrors were. They were in
fiicted on an innocent country for
maintaining its neutrality. as It was
bound to do by its treaty obligations.
I'm the case OF Greece there Is no
question OF violation Of treaty obliga-
tions, since the neutrality OF Greece
is not guaranteed by any Of the
powers.
"The dispatch OF allied troops to
Greece was for the purpose OF help
ing Serbia, the ally OF Greece. against
an unprovoked attack from Bulgaria.
an eyentuality in which Greece her
self was bound by treaty to come to
the aid of Serbia.
1T is impossible at the present
moment to publish confidential COM
|munications that have passed with
Greece, but it may DE taken as GER
tain that at no time have the allies
taken any action in Greek territory
that would be unwelcome to Greece"

parliament forewent the right to pro-
test against the entente's procedure
with armed force; that the allies
never had in view any action upon
Greek territory which would be un-
welcome to Greece. The latest asser-
tion is Inaccurate. for the Greek gov
ernment protested vigorously against
the landing. II Greece refrained
from resisting by armed force, that
does not mitigate England's and
Frances blame.
Certainly the violation OF the neu-
trality Of Belgium by Germany and
that Of Greece by England and France
can not be compared for. in the first
instance the question resolves itself
about the threatening French advance
through Belgium against the exist
ence OF the German empire.
