cellor, for he has been one of its princi-
pal instruments.
THE wholesale strikes of Polish chill
dren against the attempts to force the
employment of the German language,
the barbarous hoggings inflicted upon
them, the arrest and Imprisonment of
their Mothers continued the premier,
form black chapter even in the an
nails of Prussian culture. 1t is with this
record that the chancellor sheds tears
over the fate of what he calls tie long
suppressed Flemish race L wonder what
the Flemish race itself thinks of the
prospect the chancellor opens out to it!
"CoIaboration"
THE chancellor says that after the war
there must be a new Belgium, which
must not be a French-English vassal but
between whose people and the Germans,
who burned their churches, pillaged their
towns, trampled their liberties, there is
to be in the future the collaboratio of
neighbors.'
"My answer is very simple one. The
Allies desire. and are determined to see
once again, the old Belgium. She must
not be allowed to suffer permanently
from the wanton. wicked invasion of her
freedom, and that which has been broken
down must be repaired and restored
Declaring that he would not waste
words on the imperial chancellors lame
and half-hearted attempt to justify the
wholesale use of the submarine for the
destruction of lives and property, the
premier said
THE Allies are prepared to justify
the legality of all the measures they
have taken as covered by the principles
and spirit of international law applied
to the developments of modern war.
These have been carried out with the
strictest regard to humanity, and we
are not aware of a single instance Of a
neutral life having been lost by reason
of the Allies blockade"
Discusses Blockade
Remarking that the German block
ade of Great Britain had developed long
before the British order-in-council Of
March 1915, as shown by the sinking
of the Dutch steamer Maria and the
American sailing vessel w. p. Frye and
Germany's declaration of a submarine
blockade of the United Kingdom on Feb
4, 1915. Mr.. Asquith declared.
1T was not until March II that we
announced those measures against Ger
man trade which the chancellor now
suggests were the cause of the German
submarine policy. I need not dwell up
on the fragrant violation which has at.
tended its execution, of the elementary
rules. and practices of international
law. and of the common dictates, and
obligations of humanity. Up to this
moment, it is being ruthlessly carried
out, as we'll against neutrals as bellig-.
erents."
